Employment Situation in
 Alaska Bad

Employment opportunities in Alaska will probably be outnum- bered many times by job seekers, for the next six months, accord- ing to information released here by A. A. Hedges, Director, Alaska Territorial Employment Service. The number of unemployed at the end of September was nearly double that shoa-n at the end of the preceding month.
 The majority of the unemployed, of course, are those seasonal work CTS whose industries have either shut down, or slowed down, op- erations until next spring. Re- ports received from local Employ ment Service offices throughout the Territory within. the last few days indicate that newcomers are still entering Alaska from the States in substantial numbers Needless to say, the cheechakos find neither employment nor hous- ing awaiting them. Many of tt> new entrants have come, notwith- standing publicity to the effect that Alaska's industries are largely seasonal and the fall and winter seasons are poor times in which to expect to find work here.
 The Anchorage and Fairbanks areas are expected to be hit hard when extensive layoffs begin at the construction projects near those towns. While many of the workers thus separated have res idences in the States and will undoubtedly return to their homes several hundreds are Alaskans.

 The foremen (walking bosses) claiming autonomy within the ILWU, have been on strike since July against the Luckenbach Steamship Company and the Outer Harbor Dock and Wharf Company of Los Angeles. They have de- manded that the employers recog- ,nize the ILWU as their bargain 'ffis agent s.btft the employers con- tended they are supervisory em- ployees.
 The employers claimed that un- der the Taft Hartley law they need not bargain with supervisory em- ployees.

 Citizens Food Committee, The White House, Washington, D. C.. Dear MT. Luckman:
 I hesitate to butt into your busl- r.ess, but since yours is a citizens food committee, I, as citizen, take the liberty of making a suggestion regarding your tough job of getting food to Europe.
 It seems to me the hardest job we face is making sure this food is genuinely appreciated by the people of Europe as friendly sa- crifice from the people of the Unit ed States.
 Last year, when we sent food to Europe, several million tons were unloaded efficiently and unosten- tatiously at the Havre docks-all accepted by most Frepchmen as a matter of course.
 Simultaneously in Marseilles har- bor, a cargo of Soviet wheat enter ed with flags flying, bands playing There were street parades, muni- cipal holiday and paeans of praise for the great benefactors of the French people-Soviet Russia Ac- tually, the Russian cargo of wheat was mere driblet capable of feed ing the French only week or so. Actually, it was American grain which supported the French people for months. And contrary to the propaganda generally believed by the French, the Soviet wheat not

COLD SNAP EXTENDING
 WIDE AREA
Blowing Snow Storm His Seltions-Fair Weather
 in Some Places
(By The Associated Press)


 The first cold snap of the sea son chilled residents from the Rockies to- the Texas Panhandle today.
 A blowing storm hit parts of Minnesota, and there was snow on the ground measuring from one to eight inches in the Gen. tral Rockies and in sections of Nebraska, South Dakota and Min nesota.
 Temperatures dipped well below freezing over many sections of the Midwest and into Northwest Tex as as the cool weather moved east ward from the Rockies. The mer- cury registered 25 at Amarillo, Tex. early today and fell to 12 above at Scottsbluff Nebr; 16 at Philip, S D.; IT at Denver and 1o at Dickinson, N. D.
 Generally fair weather, with temperatures about normal, pre- vailed over the Eastern and South ern sections and along the Pac- fife Coast, although rain was re- ported in Washington and Ore gon.
 Rain also was quite general from the upper Great Lakes southward across the Ohio River and colder weather for the North Central states was forecast for tonight.
 Brownsville, Tex, continued to hold top honors as the country's warmest spot, with a high yester- day of 89.
 The first major storm of the season this afternoon found winds up to 40 miles an hour whipping the snow over the Minnesota and Northwestern Iowa countryside, grounding airplanes, slowing motor traffic, forcing some country schools to close, and interrupting telephone and telegraph communi- cation. The biting wind reduced visibility to nearly zero in the Twin Cities, where by noon a four inch snow blanket had covered the ground.
 The fury in the North had it's counterpart in the extreme South last night when a tornado swept through the small village of Galiano, La, killing two persons and injuring ten others.
