JOBLESS HERE
ON INCREASE,
MAYOR WARNS
City Facing Problem of Tn
employed Flocking to
Capital City

Confronted with the prospect of
an unusual number of unemployed
in Juneau this winter because of
heavy influx from other towns,
Mayor Harry I. Lucas today an
nounced he had wired all other ma
jor towns in Alaska to the effect
that Juneau is getting an overdose
of men needing relief.
1.-THE situation promises to be
one of the most difficult we have
ever had here" Mayor Lucas said.
Every boat is bringing in more men
without work, and Juneau will not
have any employment for them this
winter.
Moreover" Lucas said, Juneau
has no relief fund. If we can get
money for work relief projects, it
will undoubtedly be small amount
in proportion to the evident need
and of course if we do get any
money, we'll take care of our own
residents first"
Harry c. Watson, Secretary to the
Governor, said today that relief
is being asked for from nearly every
town in the Territory, with no prom

ations becoming available through

Flakne's Files
The active file of Director of EN-
ployment Joseph T. Flakne shows a
total of 486 men out of work in Ju-
neau with the number increasing
by every boat.
These figures were released to-
day by Flakne after he had checked
his office figures to find that dur
ing the month of October, 1850
visits were made to his offices in
the Territorial Building by men
seeking work and employers seek
ing men.
Il believe there are also another
hundred men on the inactive list
who have not reapplied for work
after being placed at one time or
another" Flakne said, and added,
"Juneaus unemployed are more
numerous than generally believed. I"
Kennecott Overflow
The Capital City can look for
many more unemployed this win
ter, Flakne says, with about 100 men
on his rolls having come from Ken
necott and few hundred prob
ably yet to come from that mine.
With the closing down of the
Kennecott and release of approx
mately 1000 men on the payroll
Juneau will likely get many of
those men-most of them hard rock
work in the Alaska
Juneau. and the Chichagof Island
mines" Flakne said.
During the month of October, $50
men came in on the active files of
the office while 285 went out, Flakne
said, most of them to the States.

ject has been a big influence in at

MAURY MAVERICK

New York City NS)-Maury
Maverick, fighting congressman from
Texas, in a radio speech at the town
meeting of the air, took whack at
the plan to build more and bigger
battleships. This is not because he is
a pacifist, which he isn't, but because
he doesn't think the battleship is
worth building.
In tests in the Pacific" said Nav
erick, army airplanes made direct
hits Con battleships) under the most
adverse conditions. Reports show that
battleships can be hit while maneuv-
ering at full speed, twisting and turn
ing and throwing up smoke screens.
Direct hits are by no means nee
essary, for a bomb dropped in the
water near a ship is even more harm
full"
Mr.. Maverick thinks that important
reports are being held secret, and
denounced this vigorously. He quoted
from a British report of 1886 the
statement that Capital ships cannot
be constructed so as to be indestructi-
BILE by bombing from the air.
