[recently announced that the WPB

civilian transportation equipment
[ program since 1943, a reduction of
approximately 30 percent in the al

Fletcher Says
Veterans, Both
Wars, Gel Aid
i
Raleigh, March 21.—Veterans of j
•this war, temporarily unemployed,
received $243,831.00 in readjustment
Uowances under the G. I. Bill of
Rights during the first six-month
period, of operations, Col. A. L.
.-Fletcher, Chairman of the Unem
ioyment Compensation Commis
km announced today. In North
Carolina, the G. I. readjustment
allowance payments of S2O a week
mad< by the Unemployment
Compensation Commission for the
Veterans Administration.
The number of individual vet
orans receiving allowances while
’Waiting, to find employment, Flet
her stated, increased each month!
hfough January when an average ,
. 791 veterans were paid each
rook. Last month, the average
number of veterans receiving the
weekly payments dropped to 598.
The report /for February, the
last In the six-month period, re
flected a general decrease In veter
ans claims, Fletcher continued. A
total of 410 initial claims and 3051
continued a|aims were processed
during last month, whereas in Jan
uary veterans filed 510 Initial claim;:
and 3827 continued claims.
During the past week, 133 initial
and 811 continued claims were tak
en by the Commission. The num
ber of veterans who received last
weeks allowances, totalling $14,-
336.00, was 668.
Chairman Fletcher estimates that
altogether about 325,000 North Car
olina service men and women will
be eligible lor these allowances,
since veterans who have served 90
days or more in the armed forces
and received honorable discharges
are entitled to Yeceive them, up to
a maximum of 52 weeks, based up
on their length of military service
These allowances provide financial
aid during the interim of a veter
ans discharge from service and his
employment in suitable work.
It is apparent, according to Col.
Fletcher, that relatively few of the
veterans who have returned to the
state to date—which he estimates at
around 20,000—have- made applica
i tions for readjustment allowances.
Presumably many veterans who are
finding employment reasonably
soon, or are returning immediately
to former jobs, prefer to conserve '
their readjustment allowance rights. ;
to which they are entitled for two
years following discharge from the
service or two years after the term
