Former U. s. Rubber Com. pany Employees Visit
 State Office Here

The Bank street offices of thu Connecticut State Employment ser. vice were thronged with . crowd os unemployment compensation seekers today, ninety percent ot whom were believed to Do employees of the u g. Rubber O.. of about two weeki ago.
 Approximately 700 ceased working in the Naugautck plant Q fortnight ago, and presumably have waited ths necessary two weeks required befor( claims for unemployment beneflts can be made. Registration of the applicants was undertaken by nearly the entire office force, because of the number of claimants.
 Mrs. Mary M. Dewey, manager oi the local service, said that Q large proportion of claimants consists of persons who had taken up residence in Naugatuck or vicinity only six to eight months ago. For that reason payment of benefits will involve complications arising from com- pliance with interstate regulations governing cases where employees have migrated from one state to another for work.

 The presidents radio message to the Philippine people and defend- CTS, whose gallant struggle" he praised, was broadcast after he had held 6 council of war ct the White House with his military and naval high command.
 The president and his seven war leaders, including aa admiral of the navy's war planes division who was summoned Into such conference for the first time at the White House since the start of the war were understood to have devoted Q large part of the 9e-nlinute confers ence to the Philippines situation.
 The president then prepared his message to the F'illpinos telling them that the news of your gallant struggle against the Japanese ag- gressor has elicited the profound admiration of every American" and that not only the United States but also the British Empire, the Dutch EuSb ALlIllb9 uLlh SlAllbl uEG dStGES - mined to bring about "the utter and complete defeat of the Japanese war lords.
 Competent quarters here revealed that, although 1t Is not to be pre- stunned that the battle for the f'hil- ippines is lost, precautionary plans have been made to set Up the Phils dppine commonwealth government In Washington If the main island of Luzol is lost.
 Unofficial quarters stressed that the outcome of the seige of the Philippines depends, above oil, on increased air power for MacArthur's defending forces and there was speculation that this may have been taken up at Sundays council of war ct the White House.
 The question admittedly is 6 diffi- cult one as the Philippines lie 1000 miles from the United States coast and are near Japanese island posi- tions which hold q constant threat to reinforcement by either air or sea.

four German planes were destroy ed.
 Carried Out By Plan
 It was asserted that the raid was carried out from start to finish on an exact time table.
 British forces landed first at 0:SO Q. m., and the last man left at 2:40 ?. m.
 Throughout the raid, planes of the bomber and coastal commands cooperated with the naval and ground forces, the communique said.
 The coastal command provided Beaufort fighters and Bleriheim fighters, which shot down four Heinkel-1lls with a loss of three BleTlheim bomberS. The Blenhein formation surprised a German convoy, down the coast, and racing in at low altitude sunk at least ons ship, it was asserted. The bomber command supplies Hampden long range bombers, whicE laid down smoke screen to cover troop lyanings, and also bombed an airdro1ne at Herdla, 100 miles to the south near Bergen-the nearest spot from which German air suppori could have been sent. Although only on gmall scale,' the communique said. "this raid is a good example of combined opera ton in which the royal navy, the army and the royal air force each played an equally important and iav tsr-dependent part"

 viachelav Molotov had expressed the obvious desire of Russia to de- eide It's own military commitments It was believed certain also that Issues which fitted directly Into al- lied grand strategy plans were diS- cussed.
 Foremost Issue
 Foremost among these issues was whether Russia might enter the Pacific war in time, thus involving herself in a two-front war when she might need all her energies for her one front against Na1 Germany,
 1nformafltB here suggested thai the questions were discussed wheth- CT British and American forces might be placed at the disposal oi Russia, whether the present Bkimpy rranlan route might be expanded tc meet Russian supply needs ano whether Rusisa could supply China if the Burma road were cut.
 For once, the timing of events had not been unfavorable to tho allies Eden was sent to Moscow to discuss how Russia and dreat Britain might best, as allies, take advantage of the German reversei in Russia and Africa. Japan at. tackled the United States and Brit. ain while Eden was on his way Then came the Roosevelt Churchill conference at Washington and the allied conference at Chungking China.

 Ryan Makes Proposal
 The third candidate in the race Edward J. Ryan, of Thomaston, has announced that he will advocate as part of hls American Progressive platform a federal pension of $6o a month, also higher wages for sol- diers. He would have federal pen- sions supplant the present Joint federal-state pensions.
 We have neglected this issue altogether too long" said Mir. Ryan Our old people Of today and tomor- row must not become our forgotten people. Every man and woman in the United States would retire from work at a reasonable age on an adequate pension. My bill would call for every American citizen tc receive q pension of not less than $60 per month. This would be bare- ly enough for them to live on, yet 1t would help make them independ- dent.
 Our present social security law does not go far enough, although it is a step in the right direction. The old age assistance law which we have in this state would be joke were not so much tragedy involved
 To-day in this country we have 48 different systems, a system foi each of the states. The costs oi these systems are high, thereby using much of the money that should go to those in want. Every time there is a change in the ad- ministration following elections politics ahe played with the misery of our aged people.
 'The social secruity act is alright as far as 1t goes, but 1t favors 65- year-old workers who have had steady jobs. When this war is over industry will not want men who are over 45 years of age. Now Is the time to prepare for that.
 Section three of my platform calls for legislation beneficial to the underprivileged, and this means of course that our men in the armed forces of this country are under privileged because of the low sal aries they are paid. We should pay them at least livable wage.
 section one of the American Progressive platform calls for a strong national defense. If we had this kind of defense we would never have had a Pearl Harbor tragedy. T

Australia Status

Canberra, Australia, Dec. 20-( (UP) Australia may be used as a Pacific operatioral base for United States, British Empire and Nether- land forces, it was learned today as the war cabinet prepared for con- ference Wednesday to consider Q most important" communication from Prime Minister Winston Churchill.
 Churchill's message. sent from Washington, will have 6 vital bear ing" on the future conduct of the Pacific war, 1t was said. It was sent shortly after Australian Premier John Curtin's press conference statement Saturday that in the present emergency Australia looks to America.
 The statement considered one of the most vital policy expressions since the cabinet took office, brought comment from W. M. Hughes, deputy leader of the opposition, that Aus tralia would "be undone without Britain"
 Hughes said he disagreed with Curtin if his Saturday statement meant that Australia should look to Russia and America for aid rather than Britain.
 Curtin declared in reply that his statement did not mean what Hughes implied.

night, in obedience to the order of Gen. Douglas MacArthur, comman- der in chief, ending blackout re- strictions. It was the final gesture of defiance to Japan's repudiation of it's pledges to respect undefended cities.
 The lights were hardly needed. Flames surged angrily from build- ings the ruins of which were stil! ablazefrom the Japanese terror raids Saturday and Sunday.
 Priests In Prayer
 Throughout the night Fathers had knelt in relays of 25 before Q vault, still red hot, in the ruins of historic Santo Domingo Church, praying ceaselessly for the safety behind the fused doors of the image of the Virgin Mary, "Our Lady of the Rosary" which is one of the treas ures of the Catholic Church.
 Fire engines had changed from fire to fire, as they had done for three days, as the Fathers prayed, and thousands more prayed with them in their homes for the safety of the image.
 The spanish conquistadores brought 1t across the Pacific three hundred years ago. A tempest, legend has 1t, destroyed all the galleons except that in which was the image,
 The fires bla2ed throughout the night, and the flremen clambered around bomb craters and over debris in the streets to fight the three-day old fire in Santo Domingo church, fires in two nearby girls collegts and the new fires in resi- dential areas all around.
 Big Property Damage
 Terrible property damage was done in yesterdays raids, more ever than in those of Saturday, but as against at least 40 killed and 14G wounded in Saturdays raids, only one person was known killed and three wounded yesterday because there were comparatively few peo- pie in the bombed area.
 Throughout the dark hours of this morning, townspeople started from their sleep at the dull roar of ex. plosions in the port district, where demolition squads were blowing ul or Scuttling all ships which coult not be taken out of the harbor.
 The destruction of the ships wa! decided upon be cause their pres. ence even ruined ones, might have been an excuse for the Japanese to bomb "a military area
 Dynamiting started soon aftei dark last night. Some ships were sailed or lowed out of port; somt were scuttled; all others were blowr up.
 Pious Ftlipinos, dazed by the frs savage raids, and mortified by thost Sunday, which they called Q heath en gesture of contempt for tn, Christian Sabbath, were uncoweC today and popular anger had no reached such pitch since 45 year. ago tomorrow when the execution of Dr. Jose Rt2al, the national hero by the spanish precipitated a revo. lution.
 They were ready now for any. thing-including Japanese para. chutists.
 A police lieutenant in the port area told me yesterday that he ane numerous other policemen were looking for parachutists along tht water front as the result of tele. phone warnings, including one iron the Malacanang, the Philippine White House.
