capitals last link with the outside
world, stood by its microphones last

to give encouragement to the city's
civilian population. Despite silence
today from the Warsaw radio,

not identify the destroyer and gave

had emphasized the effectiveness of
Germany's undersea warfare.
Authorities said they had no fur

SOCIAL SECURITY FOR SEAMEN lS

Board Working Up Infor mdtion for Congress-
 Alaska Affected

Plans for a new piece of legiSla- tion which would affect more per- sons in Alaska per capita than anywhere else in the nation have been announced in Washington by Federal Security Administrator Paul V. McNutt, who said he had re- quested the Social Security Board to complete its studies, now in progress, relating to Seamen's un- employment compensation, by the first of January or as soon there after as possible.
 Doubtless Congress will desire to consider legislation of this char acter," the Administrator said
 "The necessity for speedily en- acting such a program was en- phasized by the recent neutrality legislation. Our seamen were ex- tended the protection of old-age and survivors insurance at the last session of Congress, and the desirability of unemployment com pensation protection was recog- nized."
 Recommended by Board
 The Social Security Board, in its report to the President on De- cember 30, 1888, on amendments to the Social Security Act, recom- mended an unemployment compen- sation system for seamen.
 The Board advised the Presi- dent that under the Constitution it is impossible to confer upon the States jurisdiction over mari time employment, with the pos sible exception of that incidental to employment on land
 Therefore" the Boards report added. lin order to afford unem- ployment compensation protection to seamen it would be necessary to pass a Federal act. The Board recommends that such an act be passed covering all maritime em- ployment which cannot be brought under State laws"
 There are many technical prob lems peculiar to maritime employ ment, however" Administrator Mo Mutt stated, and these are at present receiving intensive study The Social Security Board is work ing in cooperation with other Gov ernment agencies and is consult ing with various representatives of groups which will be affected"
