 The Territorial Employment Ser l vice, a division of the Alaska Unem- ployment Compensation Commission around which political tom-toms have been beating for months, has been transferred to the United States Employment Service, a Federal Az ency. The action came as war time measure on instructions from President Roosevelt. Hugh Wade. Federal Social Security Board Ad- ministratoT in Alaska, is heading up the new setup and Joseph T. Flakne. who was Employment head under Territorial arrangement, along with the Territorial employees of that di- vision, have been transferred to the Federal payroll. The transfer was ef- fectiye as of January 1
 Unemployment Compensation Com missions announcement that it would hold a hearing in Fairbanks in the spring to hear complaints against the administration of Flakue filed by the Mine, Mill and Shelter Workers Union, Local No. IA. of Fairbanks, has been left sounding something like a person shouting in an empty barrel. MT Flakne is now i in Federal service and directly res ponsible only to Hugh Wade, who isn't responsible to anybody in AL aska. only the Board in Washington.

 Now that this country is actual ly at war it is more than ever ne- cessary that We utilize to the fullest possible extent all of the manpower and Womanpower of this country to increase our production of war ma terials This can only be accomplish ed by centralizing. recruiting work into one agency. At present, as you know, the United States Employment Service consists of 50 separate state and territorial employment services whose operations are loosely eoor- dinated by the Federal government. In order that there may be complete responsiveness to the demands of national defense and speedy, uni form, effective action to meet rap idly changing needs, it is essential that all of these separate employ ment services become a uniformly, and of necessity, nationally operated employment service. I have, there fore, given instructions to the prop CT federal officials that the neces- sary steps be taken to accomplish this purpose at once. I ask that you likewise instruct the proper officials of your territory to transfer to the United States Employment Service all of the present personnel, re- cords and facilities required for this operation. Inasmueh as the Feder- al government is already paying practically TOO per cent of the cost of operation and the Territorial per- sonnel has been recruited on mer- it basis, there will be no difficulty in transferring territorial employees into the federal service These en- plOyment offices will continue to serve the Unemployment Compensa- tion Agency so that there will be no need to set up duplicate offices. shall appreciate your advising me at once of your full cooperation so that thes conversion of the present en- ployment service into a truly na-

High Navy0fficer Describes
Destruction Of Seap|ane

By the Associated Press.
PEARL HARBOR, March de-
layed.-The spectacular destruction
of a four -engined Japanese seaplane
and other destruction at Wake
Island Is recounted by . high Navy
omcer In the following eyewitness
recital Of the February "a attack.
Here are his factual, dispassionate
words:
Forces involving aircraft. car
riers. cruisers and destroyers raided
Wake Island with air bombardment
and surface bombardment The at
tack was highly successful. We did
not encounter resistance worthy of
the name.
The aircraft strength in the en-
emy's installations on Wake was
limited to three large four-engined
patrol seaplanes. Two Of them were
destroyed on the water, the other
in the air.
The latter. in the direct line OF
gunfire from our ships and planes,
exploded and disintegrated when
third burst from a ships batteries
struck it, and parts Of the plane
were found imbedded in the wings
of an American fighter. That's
coming pretty close.
Two enemy patrol boats Of the
small cutter class also were sunk.
Fuel barges, dredges and similar
equipment were destroyed, and = few
prisoners we're brought back. They
were taken from the water.
Wake was quite we'll defended by
coastal batteries. Our surface bonn
bardment group, OF considerable gun
power, silenced . large part and air
bombardment accounted for q large
part of the remainder.
Fuel oil and gasoline storages Of
considerable value were destroyed.
Underground structures, including
hangers. magazines and store
houses. were damaged and In several
cases completely destroyed.
Our losses consisted Of one plane.
None Of our ships was hit"
