CHRISTMAS PRAYER

I hope they see the Star of Beth
lehem
Above the grim, gray smoke of
heavy guns;
And hear sweet Christmas Carols,
no power can dim
When Christians sing-who are
our fighting sons.
May candles burn for them with
in that shrine
That sacred place good men
call "heart and SOUL
On them / ask Gods blessings
most divine
That they may find one hour of
peace to hold.
One blessed hour when we can
send our prayers
Across the seas - no matter
where they fight
Sweet, winging gifts that shine
with mothers tears
For him-away from her-this
Christmas night.

Tokyo Claims We Lost Two Aircraft Vessels
 in Fight
(BY ASSOCIATED PREsS)

Tokyo military headquarters are seeking to minimize the gravity of the Japanese naval disaster at Mid way. but acknowledge that United States forces have sunk an aircraft carrier, heavily damaged another carrier, and damaged a cruiser.
 Official United States reports list l6 and possibly 18 Jap warsh'ps sunk or damaged before the enemy fleet limped off in retreat.
 Moreover, the eye witness &C., count of Ensign George Gay, Jr.. 25, U. S. Navy flier, declared that three of Japans aircraft carriers including two of the 26,000 ton Kaga Akagi class were seen by him to burst into flames under the at- tack of American torpedo planes.
 Tokyo did not specify the class of the carrier admitted lost.
 Japanese however claim that two U. s. aircraft carriers and a large transport were sunk and 134 U. s. planes shot down.
 Tokyo said that the aircraft car- riers of the Enterprise and Hornet types. each carrying a, complement of 2,072 men and about 100 planes, were sent to the bottom.
 WASHINGTON, tune 10-Mem- bers of the Pacific War Council met with President Roosevelt today and left visibly elated over the ac- count of the Jap defeat ir the battle of Midway.

 When asked what the Council S reaction to the news was, Halifax grinned broadly and replied: You can guess that"
 The Council members represent the seven nations engaged in fight ing in the Pacific.

So Glad 10 Be Home Is Comment of Mrs.

T am surely glad to get home,' was the heartfelt comment Mrs. John B. Hahn made this morning upon her arrival from Seattle where she has spent the last three weeks visiting her family and friends.
 Everyone aboard the ship seemed to be in the same frame of mind. Just delighted, as I was, that we were getting back to Juneau, the one place we wanted to be more than anywhere else" Mrs. Hahn said.
 Mrs. Hahn resigned her position with the Shattuck Insurance Agency prior to leaving for what was to be months vacation. She went south by plane and at the end of three weeks decided that she would finish her vacation in Ju- neau, where her husband is asso- ciated with the Columbia Lumber Company.

National Capital, Just Six
 Months After U. S Entered
 World War Il, Has Changed

These are two-story barns, so hastily constructed that the wiring and plumbing frequently line the exter- iors. There was no time even to give them names, and the administration with it's passion for alphabetizing has merely designed them "Tempor- ary Building A, B, c, etc.
 The White House has even changed Once it's grounds were as accessible as any public park, but now it's iron-spiked fence is circled with sentry boxes and the spaces between are patrolled day and night by helmeted soldiers. Its four main gates are held by the blue-uniformed White House police. And for all the lights that shine there nights, it might be a deserted villa.
 It isn't only the original govern ment area that has changed face either. Official Washington has burst its bounds and spread into the suburbs. The shadows of the tombstones in Arlington, the most beautiful cemetery in this land, at least, reach to the vast new Army building which, in it's way, is as staggering in proportions, as Rock e1eller Center. Suitland, Md, is rapidly becoming a government center.

UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS ARE IN
 DECLINE NOW

The amount of money paid for jobless insurance based on invol- untary employment for the month of May, l942, was 50 per cent less than the payments issued dur ing May, 1941, Executive Director Robert E. Sheldon announced to- day. It is especially interesting to note that the number of first pay ments, representing newly initiated claims, decreased some 72 percent from the number of first payments issued in May, l94l, and that 51 percent of the total payments were made to individuals who formerly worked in Alaska and are now re- siding in the states, Mir Sheldon stated.
 The fact that number of work CTS unemployed at the present time due to curtailment of industry not essential to war production will ex- perience short periods of unem- ployment until a read 'ustment or reallocation of workers is being successfully carried on by the U. s. Employment Service. The service maintains five offices throughout the Territory.
 War Change Lag
 MT Sheldon stated further tkat those in charge of the United States Employment Service are taking in- itial steps against the postwar sag in employment and the conversion from wartime to peacetime pro- duction The amount of job.ess in- surance paid by the Unemployment Compensation Commission is closely correlated with the successful op- eration of the Employment Ser vice.
 Cl a m n ts for Unemployment benefits are required to register for work before the initial claim for benefits is accepted. This reg istration includes full desci1p- tion of the workers experience, training, and ability The claim ant is also required to establish a two week waiting period before benefits are payable, and must at all times be able and available for work, it was explained
 Build Up Fund
 The Alaska Unemployment Com pensation is endeavoring to build up sufficient reserve fund to take care of the potential benefit rights acquired by the unprecedented num- Der of workers now employed with in the Territory. Employers covered under the Alaska Unemployment Compensation Law are required to contribute 2.7 percent Of the first $3,000 wages payable dnfIug the calendar year. Contributions are de- posted in the Alaska Uncmploy- ment Compensation Trust Fund to be used for benefit payments only, the entire administrative costs of the Commission being financed through grants allotted by the Fed eral Social Security Boaic, MT. Sheldon concluded.

The W ashingto ion Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON and ROBERT s. ALLEN

WASHINGTON Nobody planned it that way, but the British 1000- plane raid on Cologne was a pow erful deterrent for pro-Nazi Pierre Laval of France. It didn't take him more than a split second to figure what the British could do to Paris if he should get loose fingered with the French fleet.
 Meanwhile. few people realize how much the French people though they don't relish it-are contributing to the Nazi war ef- fort. Here is the latest survey of the situation taken from confiden- tial government reports:
 1. 100000 French workers are now employed in war factories.
 2. There is no French industry which does not contribute, to a substantial degree, to the supply of the military or civil departments of the Reich. This is done under German contracts, on generous terms of payment. But the money paid by the Germans with one hand is taken from the French with the other, in war indemnity.
 3. The French industries which are favored with German orders are making substantial profits, but their deliveries are draining the substance Of France.
 4. The textile industry-one of the largest in France recently com pleted delivery of 1,l50,000 metres of army cloth to Germany The price is reported to be 130 francs per metre, compared with a price of only 90 francs paid by French army authorities in the unoccupied zone.
 5. Another major French industry, automobile manufacturing is de- voted almost entirely to contracts for the occupation authorities" In-
