GOV. GRUENING WARNS J0BLESS
 STAY IN STATES
Plenty of Jobs in Alaska {" Rumor Spiked-Prefer-
 dnCe for Residents

There is no labor shortage in Alaska, Gov. Ernest Gruening said today to correct erroneous reports being circulated in the States. Resi- dent Alaskans will be given prefer ence for what employment there is, he added.
 The Governors statement fol- lows
 Word has come to me that apple pickers and other workers in the Yakima and Wenatchee valleys of the State of Washington have been told that when their seasonal work is done there are plenty of jobs in Alaska this winter. I want to state that this is not so. Resident Alas kans who have been working in fisheries, placer mining, and other seasonal occupations are every day registering with the Alaska Territor- ial Employment Service, and it is my desire that preference should be and my conviction that preferance will be given to unemployed Alas kans rather than to persons coming from the States in search of work.
 T cannot urge too strongly that residents of the States do not come to Alaska unless they have money enough to tide them over while looking for work, and to take them back to their homes if they are un- successful"

Swarm Over British Capital City from Dusk 10
 After Dawn
MIDLANDS ASSAULTED
 BY OTHER WARpLANES
Both In1endidry, Explosive Bombs Dropped in 1re-
 medous Charges
(By Associated Press)

The German Air Force made one of the strongest drives in recent weeks to bomb London from dusk last night to after dawn this morn ing
 It is admitted that over 300 Ger man warplanes were used in the attack on London alone while hun- dreds of other warplanes srtuck at the midland's industrial center.
 The attack was centered on the British Empires Capital City for the first time in 10 days and the Ger man pilots reported the explosive bombs are believed to have done much damage Fires in many sec tions were seen as the incendiary bombs exploded, scattering fire brands in all directions.
 The British communique admits heavy bombing but the casualty list is light as air raiding warnings had sent the populace to shelters. ' Property damage Is not reported but it is said the fire fighters were handicapped by the barra g e of bombs descending from the skies.
 No report was made early today on casualties or damage in the mid- lands sections.

By JACK STINNETT

WASHINGTON, Nov. 30. = The most embarrassing thing that has happened to a No. l58 that I know of happened right here in Wash ington-at at least just across the District line in one of the suburbs.
 He is B years old. His family IS prominent in the community and comparatively well off. He was something of football hero and just about a perfect physical spec imen. He always has been quite a favorite in the neighborhood.
 When Secretary of War Stimson plucked 158 out of the selective service fish bowl and made him No. l selectee in his district and the lad announced that he was proud and ready to go immedi- ately, the neighborhood went into an orgy of patriotism.
 The young man was wined and dlned. The American Legion post gave banquet in his honor. So did the DAR. He made speeches at the high school and the nearby college he had attended.
 He spoke solemnly from the pull pit of his church. His girl gave a romantic touch to the hysteria by announcing they were engaged to be married immediately after Johnny comes back from train ing"
 It went on for weeks
