Juneau's unemployment situation is being studied today by Mayor Thomas B. Judson with view to taking immediate action to relieve it. Tomorrow he expects to hire the employment agent authorized at the last meeting of the City Council. Immediately after this of- ficial is engaged he will take head quarters in the City Hall; canvas municipal, Territorial and Federal agencies for jobs at their disposal, and classify the unemployed listed recently by the American Legion as to their needs and capabilities
 In the meantime Gov. George A Parks and the All-Alaska Cham Der of Commerce have urged all communities to make provision for taking care of their own unem- ployed.
 The Governor drew the attention of the All-Alaska Chamber to the undesirability of shifting persons out of work from one place to an other and asked its cooperation tc prevent such a condition.

 Incomplete reports received from various parts of the Territory indi, cate that there will be more thar the usual amount of unemploy. ment in each community during the coming winter.

NOME, Alaska, Sept. 21.-Nea 'ly
 frozen and very tired, Don Moyle
 and c. A. Allen arrived here at 9:05 o'clock last night after a
 hazardous flight along the coast of
 Siberia from the fishing village of
 Maino Piligno where they were
 practically marooned for several
 days by a severe storm on their
 attempted flight from Japan to Seattle.
 We are pretty glad to return to American soil again." were the first words Moyle uttered. We are feeling fine although we had a close call in freezing weather" said Allen. Numerous snowstorms and freez- l ing temperatures marked the eff forts of the two California fliers as they battled their way over
 Boring Sea.
 Moyle said storms forced them to fly far up the Siberian coast before they attempted to cross Ber- ing Sea.
 The two fliers said they were un- able to secure aviation gasoline in Siberia and used diesel fuel to make the flight. The fuel burned a large hole in the exhaust pipe and stack, otherwise the plane is in good condition. Moyle and Allen plan to remain here at least day before leaving for Seattle.
