Percy has criticized the Illinois Bureau of Unemployment for its slow handling of unemployment compensation claims and called the department a "bureau of employment insecurity. "There is a growing frustration, if not outrage, with the way unemployment compensation is being handled in Illinois," Percy said Thursday.

He charged that it took longer than one month to process over half of the state's unemployment claims, while California filled 88 per cent of its claims in 28 days and New York filled 82 per cent of its claims during the same time period. Although the federal government provided funds for unemployment compensation, Percy said, the state is responsible for administering the program. "We have the right to now to move in and see to it that those benefits are being provided," he said. Percy said he has written Labor secretary John Dunlop, asking for a policing of the Illinois situation. "It is the bigget snafu I've ever seen," he added.

Myers Funeral Service ITUrrstudent Set Self On Fire URBANA, 111. (AP) A University of Illinois graduate student from India is dead after he apparently chained himself to his dormitory bed, soaked his body with gasoline and set himself afire. The incident occurred Thursday.

Champaign County Coroner Thomas Henderson tentatively identified the dead man as Alphons Indana, 28. University officials said Indana, who lived alone, came to the university in August to study labor and industrial relations. Indana's body was burned beyond recognition, and no fingerprints could be taken. Police said had accounted for all other residents of the dormitory. Police said the door to In-, dana's room was chain- locked from the inside and his left ankle was padlocked to the bed frame.

An empty two-gallon can of gasoline was found in the room. Authorities said there was evidence the body had been drenched with the fuel. The fire, on the first floor of the seven-story Daniels Hall, was reported at 9:43 a.m. The building houses graduate students. Police said the fire triggered an explosion of the gasoline vapors in the room, and fumes still were noticeable after the fire had been extinguished.

OK MONITORING OF SINAI BY AMERICANS WASHINGTON (AP) Israel today signed the final document of the Israeli- Egyptian Sinai accord, just seven hours after the Senate approved a provision of the pact that calls for 200 American technicians to monitor the peace. Israel's formal approval, which was delayed pending final congressional approval of the monitorship, clears the way for a pullback of Israeli troops in the Sinai Desert and the return of captured Abu Rudeis oilfields to Egypt. The Senate approved the use of U.S. civilians in the Sinai on a vote of 70 to 18.

The House approved the the arrangement 341 to 69 on Wednesday. The civilian technicians will be stationed between Israeli and Egyptian forces in a demilitarized buffer zone. President Ford, who had sought approval of the peace pact provision last week, was expected to act quickly to establish the small force at electronic monitoring stations in the buffer zone. Israel's signature came today in Jeruselum. The pact was initialed by Israel and Egypt on Sept.

1. Egypt fully signed the pact on Sept. 22, but Israel refused to sign it until after Congress had acted. Both Israel and Egypt conditioned their pact on approval by Congress of the use of Americans to monitor surveilance stations in the Sinai passes to give early warning of any military movements to both sides and to the United Nations peacekeeping fore stationed there. Final congressional action also cleared the way for signing of four additional United States agreements, three with Israel and one with Egypt.

They pledge continued U.S. diplomatic efforts to settle Middle East differences. Subject to congressional appropriations, the United States also promised consideration of stepped up military and economic aid to Israel, economic aid to Egypt and aid to help Israel obtain oil in the event of an Arab boycott after the return of the Abu Rudeis oil field to Egypt. Senate backers of the Sinai resolution hailed its passage as the opening of the road to peace in the Middle East. Senate Majority Leader Mike Mansfield, D-Mont, was among those with misgivings about the first direct American involvement in the Middle East.

Mansfield said it increases chances for U.S. involvement in Middle East fighting, should it occur again, and the danger of confrontation with the Soviet Union. Break Stalemate May Pass Bill To Ease Natural Gas Shortage WASHINGTON (AP). The Senate has broken a stalemate that threatened to prevent passage of legislation designed to avert a serious shortage of natural gas this winter. But exactly what kind of program will be passed will not be known until the final vote comes on Oct.

24. The impasse developed last week when Republicans insisted that any emergency bill aimed at preventing a gas shortage this winter should include provisions for gradually removing federal controls from the price of natural gas. Democrats, who generally oppose removal of controls, note that House leaders have insisted they will not consider any long-range gas legislation, such as price controls, this year. Thus, Democrats say, if the Senate tied the emergency provisions to a long-range removal of price controls, the emergency bill would die. The agreement by both sides to allow a final vote on some form of natural-gas bill on Oct.

24 was announced minutes before the Senate adjourned until Oct. 20 for a Columbus Day recess. Loses His Leg In Switching Accident At Carbondale CARBONDALE, El.

Instead, he said, Lindberg was maximizing the problems "to whip up scare headlines." "That is an unqualified lie," Mandeville said. "We do not play games of this type." He said the comptroller's office paid all bills and made all payments as quickly as possible. "We are not doing anything to make the situation worse than it is," Mandeville said.

Never until this year has the state had to delay payments because of a low balance in the general revenue fund, he said. Lindberg has said if the Oct. 16 school aid payments are delayed it could cause some school districts, including Chicago, to lose the interest income they normally receive by depositing their aid checks until the money is needed.
