(b) In case of death, Form US-261, Sup¬ 
plemental Report of Employer in Death 
Case, should accompany other forms. 
(c) In order to avoid confusion with the 
administration of the Longshoremen’s Act, 
there should be written or stamped at the 
top of such forms in large letters the 
words “War Injury Claim.” The em¬ 
ployer’s report should also contain the 
Symbol or code number of the Govern¬

the Department or agency making such 
contract. 
(d) Where an employee is found to be 
missing, or has been captured by the enemy, 
or otherwise is absent, the employer should 
immediately report such absence, with the 
fullest details to the nearest representative 
of the United States authorized to receive 
such report, with the request that such 
report, together with any supplementary 
official reports relative thereto, be trans¬ 
mitted promptly to the Department or 
agency of the United States requiring such 
report or having charge over projects or 
work places.
