USES Responsibility To. Help Veterans Two years ago, on June 22, Pub lic Law 346, better known as the G. I. Bill was passed by Congress. W. Rhett Harley, State Director for the United States Employment Serv ice for South Carolina points out that under this bill, Congress has delegated the responsibility of find ing suitable work for returned vet erans to the Employment Service. Special services for veterans have been set up in all local USES offices, including job counseling, selective INFORMATION ON NITRATE Following is a letter to Repre sentative Butler B. Hare in regard to Nitrate of Soda shortages, from the U. S. Department of Agricul ture: Hon. Butler B. Hare House of Representatives Dear. Mr. Hare: This will refer to your conversa tion of June 18 with Mr. L. G. Por ter of this Branch concerning sup plies of nitrate of soda for use by farmers in South Carolina. The tight situation reported to you has been caused by a number of factors. The quantity of Chilean ni trate of soda available to the United States this season is about two- thirds as much as was imported last season. There has been some delay also in meeting scheduled delivery dates due in part to labor troubles at the Chilean refineries. Domestic production of nitrate of soda and other nitrogen fertilizers, particul arly at Hopewell, Virginia, has suf fered due to the recent coal strike and the inability to secure needed raw materials such as soda ash. In looking into this matter re cently, we were advised by the Chilean Nitrate Sales Corporation of New York that approximately 80,000 tons of nitrate of soda has arrived or is due to arrive at low er Atlantic Coast ports during the period May 28 through June 25. We were advised that this tonage will enable the importers to complete deliveries this season on the basis of 71 1-2 .percent of last year’s tonnage to each cutomer. We were informed a short time ago that production of nitroge n fer tilizers at Hopewell is showing a gradual improvement. Some am monium nitrate is a lso moving into the general area. The arrival of the considerable tonnage of Chilean ni trate of soda, together with the in crease in the supply from domestic sources should, it is believed, mat erially inprove the situation on side-dressing materials in the South eastern States. R. W. Herder, Assistant Director. placement and preferred attention to all handicapped veterans. In each local employment service office there is a veterans employ ment representative who has been thoroughly trained to give the max imum assistance to veterans seeking work. Also in each office there is one or more vocational counselors who have received thorough train ing. Since many returning veterans have never been employed in private industry before entering the service, and many others acquired new skills while serving in the armed forces, and desire employment that will uti lize these new skills, vocational counseling is of vital importance in the placement of veterans. Mr. Harley states that while no effort is being spared to provide the maximum service for veterans, the Employment service is badly handi capped by the failure of some em ployers to list their job openings at the local offices. He emphasizes that the United States Employment Service is a public agency provided by the Government and its services are free to workers and employers alike. An employer is not obligat ed in any way by placing an order for workers. He makes his own choice from carefully selected work ers referred to him for interview and since the majority of unemploy- ed veterans are registered with the employment service the employer has a selection from the best quali fied workers available.
