As a matter of fact, tho District Office in St. Louis is now handling claims for compensation. Pending clnims will bo handled In Washington until the Central Offico has had time to got tho necessary records out to tho district offices. It should be borno in min.l that tho decentralization of tho now bureau must necessarily bo a grad ual development and too much should not bo expected during tho next few weeks. As soon as tho functions of tho Compensation Division hnvo been completely turned over to tho 1! trlcts, wo expect to glvo prompt sor- ( vico to nil cluiins. A representative of tho Bureau will got in touch with tho claimant and ho will bo told in a personal way what ho Is entitled to. Every employeo of tho Bureau In this district is required to givo courteous and careful consideration to nil claimants nnd no other treat ment will bo toloratod. In dealing with thousands of claims of cx-sor-vlco mon wo may expect to meet n fow whoso claims aro not Justified It will bo tho Bureau's policy to deal with such claimants frankly. Boforo a man can bo awarded compensation or vocational training, It must bo shown that ho has a disability which was either received in sorvico or ono that can bo Bhown to bo traccablo to sorvico.
