 l. There are requests for 21l workers in the Territory; mainly skilled and professional, requiring qualifications that the unemployed oo not possess.
 2. The seasonal industries will absorb those presently unemployed plus about 10000 more, during the four summer months beginning in May. The majority of the 10000 additional workers required in AL aska each year are regular em- ployees who return to the indus tries each season.
 Statistical review of the achieve ments of the USES during the year just closed reveals that, all though war activities were curtail- ed after V-J Day and defense pro- jects in Alaska were mainly com pleted prior to that date, the USES placed 3,798 more local workers anc helped recruit 4,217 more workers from ether areas than in any other year.
 The following is a table compar- ing few of the functions for the years 1914 and 1945.

Inviting her old Missouri bridge
club to the White House for a get
together was stroke of genius on
the part of the First Lady Of the
Land.
At last, there's a woman in the
White House the average American
woman can understand.
Her bridge club is as important
to the American matFon as soror-
ity membership is to the college
girl. 1t is her badge of belonging,
her chance to get together with the
girls for regular gossip sessions
under the harmless guise Of a
game of bridge.
It's a challenge. too. Everything
has to be just right on the day
the bridge club meets curtains
freshly washed. floors and win
dows shining. Her fellow bridge
club members may be a woman's
best friends, but they are also
her severest critics.
And if woman has moved
into new house or has had her
living room redecorafed, she can
hardly wait until it Is her turn

Gov. Edge Is Opposed To Seizure
 State Rejects
 Tokine Over Two
 Utility Plants

Trenton, N. J., Dec. 27-(UP)- Gov. Walter E. Edge decided today against state seizure of Public Service Electric and Gas Company plants at Newark and Harrison, N. J., where 400 employees went on strike last night.
 The 400 workers struck a few hours after walkouts had been settled in similar plants at Jersey City and New Brunswick.
 Edge said that machinery already was set up for amicable settlement of the dispute
 Tn view of the agreement reach- ed by the Jersey -Piscataway Panel" he said, T see no reason at the present time for the state to as- sume control of the Harrison plant.
 T have advised representatives of the public service and the union in- volved in the walkout that with the pattern already prepared by the state panel, the management and employees should be able to adjust any further questions that may arise.
 "In view of this determination. I have not executed an order to have the state take over the Harrison and Newark plants"
 Papers authorizing the seizure had been placed on Edges desk this morning. and State Commissioner of Labor Harry Harper said the Newark and Harrison plants would be taken over.

'PortoI' Pay Suits Neorino Billion Mark
 Lobor Spokesmen
 Soy Landslide
 Hos Just Begun
(By United Press)

Suits filed by labor unions seek ing controversial portal pay neared the billion dollar mark today.
 A survey of U. s. District Court dockets across the country disclosed that the amount sought by unions on behalf of their members already had reached $854,119, 400.
 Most of the suits were filed within the last month. Labor Spokesmen said that the portal pay landslide had just begun" and that it might reach $6.000, ,O00, 900.
 CLO. Brings Majority Suits
 The unions seek compensation for the time spent by workers during changes of shift on company prop erty. Such time is consumed in changing clothes. gathering tools, and punching time clocks.
 All but a few of the suits have been filed by CI.O. unions. 4 spokesman for the American Fed eration of Labor said that although most A. P. L. unions are entitled to portal pay. no suits are contem- plated yet. The spokesman said that the A. P. L. generally believes portal pay to be matter for collective bargaining.
 Many 4. P. k. leaders. he said, frown on filing suits against en- ployers with whom they have bar gaining contracts The spokesman nIGnI $AaA k1T settlements are not reached in bar gaining, A.FL. unions may be forced to resort to legal action. He said that portal pay may be discussed at the A. F. L. executive Council meeting at Miami. Fla, next month.
 Limitations May Halt Many
 Most of the portal pay suits seek to collect for unpaid time spent by workers on company property since 1888. Officials of the Department of Labor's age and hour division. however, said they believed the sta- tutes of limitations set by various states would apply. Ma ny states have statutes which would prohibit unions from obtaining portal pay as far back as 1888.
 Meanwhile. employees of the Mt. Clemens, Mich, Pottery Company, whose suit started the portal pay avalanche, rejoined the campaign. The original suit was filed on be- half of only 2S0 employees. The c. I. O. United Pottery Workers filed suit at Detroit yesterday seeking $2.000, 900 to cover the claims of an additional 1,20O workers.
 The first Mt. Clemens suit was not disposed of until last June when the U. s. Supreme Court issued a momentous decision granting the claims.

Director  
 Resignation
 Effective
 On Jan. l6

Washington, Dec. 27 7- CUp)- George E. Allen resigned today as a member of the Reconstruction Fi- nance Corporation. and submitted to President Truman proposals for drastic revision" of the REC Act.
 Mir. Truman accepted Aliens res- lgnation as of Jan. leone year from the date Allen was named to the post.
 With Aliens letter of resignation went a report from the REC board Of directors proposing complete revision" of the REC Act to simpl- fy and consolidate into one piece of legislation the basic lending power Of the REC.
 Took JOb For Year
 White House Press Secretary Charles c. Ross said that when Allen was appointed last year. he stated he would be willing to serve only a year. MT. Truman appoint ed him on that understanding, Ross said.
 John D. Goodloe. now general counsel for the REC. was named to succeed Allen. Goodloe, a former Kentucky newspaperman, has held various government legal posts in the past l2 years.
 Friends said that Allen. one of the closest advisers and friends of Mir. Truman since the President entered the White House, will not sever his informal connexions with the ad- ministration.
 Some of his friends said that Allen now will be in a more effec- tive position to aid Nle President than he was when he held his gov- ernment post.
 often Under Fire
 During the year he was an REC director Allen frequently was under fire. first during Senate considera- tion of his nomination and most recently in the housing crisis. A dispute between Allen and Housing Expediter Wilson ". Wyatt was followed by Wyatt's resignation.
 It generally was understood that Allen wanted to get back into private business as soon as possible to bolster his income, which suf- fered during his government career. Allen has had connections with some of the biggest corporations in the country and has been a mem Der of the board of directors in many of them.
 Allen scheduled a conference with MT. Truman today at which time the REC recommendations for changes in the REC law were to be discussed. Goodloe planned to par ticipate in this conference, too.
 Charles B. Henderson will con- tinue as chairman of the REC. The board selects its own chairman.
