James,
The only way I can think of right now to change at once all the ratings
from ELO to USCF would be:
- export your database in PGN
- open the PGN file with a text editor, and
- replace the text with a Search and Replace.
I don't think of a way to tweak the ELO files. Other can chime in here.

You can use the same procedure to add "1300" to the players who have no
ratings. However, I advise against it. First, it gives two meanings to
"1300", those who have no ratings, and those who have a rating of 1300.
Second, you'd give 1300 to players who may have another rating. That said,
I agree with you that a blank space is not enough to represent unrated
players. There's a confusion between "I don't know which rating this player
has," "I don't care about ratings much" (e.g. Fischer is Fischer), and
"this player has no (USCF) rating".
You should stick to information you know about players. Otherwise
misinformation can easily propagate. We don't have any centralized facility
to check information, so be conservative in what you add as information.
Hope this helps,
Benoit
