JOBLESS HERE ON INCREASE, employed Flocking to Capital City Confronted with the prospect of an unusual number influx from other towns, i nounced he had wired all other ma- | jor towns in Alaska to the effect that Juneau is getting an overdose of men needing relief. “The situation promises to be one of ever had here,” Mayor Lucas said “Every boat is bringing in more men winter. “Moreover,” Lucas said, “Jurieau has no relief fund. If we can get money for work relief projects, it will undoubtedly be a small amount in proportion to the evident need and of course if we do get any residents first.” Harry G. Watson, Secretary to the Governor, said today that relief is being asked for from nearly every town in the Territory, with no prom- ise certain of any sizeable appropri- ations becoming available through WPA. Flakne's Files The active file of Director of Em- ployment Joseph T. Flakne shows a | total of 486 men out of work in Ju- (neau with the number by every boat.

O. P. |Only One I\Elj—or Race Un- settled—Indiana Is to Return Van Nuys (By Associated Press) Democratic and Republican today began a two-year struggle for power as the aftermath of the political upheavals in Tues- day’s election.

Democratic Winners There is only one major race that is not definitely settled but it ap- pears that incumbent Democrat Senator Frederick Van Nuys, in In- diana, will wir over Republican can- didat:. Raymond E. Willis. Van Nuys has pulled slightly ahead of Willis and the few unreported precincts are in localities which are Demo~ cratic. It has been a see-saw battle. Incumbent Democrat Guy M. Gil- lette, of Towa, has apparently won reelection where revision of the un- official vote tabulations increased {his lead over former Senator Les- | ter J. Dickinson. Overturn Picture ‘The following is an overturn pic- | ture from returns of 47 state elec- tions on Tuesday: Seven Governorships in the Re- publican campaign out of 18 of those won were previously held by Democrats. One was held by a iF‘armer Labor and another by a Progressive. The Republicans were given 11 Senate seats, including eight held | by Democrats. | In the new Senate, beginning January 3, the Republicans will hold | 23 seats compared to 15 in the pres- |ent Senate. Only 35 of the 96 seats |In the Senate were at stake this | year. In the House | With all but eight House races decided, the Republicans elected 166 members compared with 88 in the present House. ‘There was one Republican vacan- cy of seats and they picked up 71 from the Democrats, five Progres- sives and two Farmer Labor. These triumphs give Republican leaders hopes that a certain strong minority opposition will be in both the House and Senate.
