SEATTLE, Nov. 7.--At the conclu- sion of a conference on the mari time strike as it affects Alaska, op- orators of Alaska steamers last night issued statement asking Aiaskans to be patient. The statement said:
 Alaska operators regret the
 enforced temporary suspension
 of service. They appreciate some
 inconvenience is resulting to AL
 aska residents. The United a
 States Customs report, however,
 shows Alaska is we'll stocked
 with staples but if the strike
 continues over long period
 there will be shortage of fresh
 supplies. The experience of the
 M0tOrship Northland is con-
 vincing of the futility of send
 ing more vessels to Alaska under
 the disturbed labor conditions.
 We are hopeful of settling the
 dispute on basis fair to em-
 plOyees and operators and Alas
 kans. If settlement was made
 at this time on the basis of un-
 ion demands 1t would necessi-
 tate increased freight and pas
 senger rates. We feel with time
 and calm judgment a settle-
 ment will be made on a basis
 fair to all. We ask Alaskans to
 be patient pending such settle
 ment."
 Commenting on the request of waterfront employers that perish ables be removed from ships here before they become a menace. to health, the Joint Strike Committee countered with the demand that operators clean house on their own ships" The statement mentioned the death of waiter on one Alaska vessel which was allegedly attri- buted to unsanitary conditions aboard ship.
 The committee said it would in- sist on action. Cleaning this steamer is of far greater importance since it concerns the actual lives at stake rather than in the case of perishable stores, the statement said. The strikers added the shipowners were using the spoiled cargo issue merely as means of turning public senti- ment against the striking groups.

ACTION IN SAN FRANCISCO

ACTION IN SAN FRANCISCO
 SAN FRANCISCO, Nov 7.-The Pacific Coasts shipping industry faced new difficulties today after 8 walkout was voted last night by 5000 shipyard workers.
 A. T. Wynn, Secretary of the Bay District Metal Trades Council, said the shipyard strike was voted "ow- ing to the continued fragrant viola tions of agreements with the vari- ous unions"
 The walkout at the Bethlehem Shipbuilding Corporation affected ships tied up by the maritime strike which had been put in drydock for overhaul.
 William Bonellas, 32, striking stevedore and former fighter, was arrested here today after the death of Einar Reopen, striking seaman injured during fight with police. It was said, however, the trouble was not connected with the strike. Several hundred men stormed the poultry producers warehouse at Oakland and pummelled two men working there.
 Warehousemen affiliated with the International Longshoremens As sociation, also are on strike for high CT wages and union hiring halls.

MADRID, Nov. 7.-Spain's Leftist Government has decided to abandon Madrid and today terrified thou sands fled eastward out of the capital The quaking populac which remained heard the ever nearing din of battle as fierce Moorish hordes of Fascist attackers invaded the outskirts of the city. Fear-stricken women, children and even men voiced the dreaded ques- tion, What will the Moors do? Will they kill us all?"
 As mounting panic swept the city which was deeply shaken by the news that Premier Francisco Caballero and his Cabinet aides had decided to abandon the capi- tai, long lines of refugees stream ed out the east gates. Simultan- eously blood-bandaged soldiers, workmen fighters, girl volunteers, many in the agonies of flesh-torn pain, staged in from the firing lines.
 It was the 114th day of the Spanish civil war and many ob- servers though the action to aban- don Madrid meant a long war as Caballero would re-establish his government at Valencia and begin a long campaign to regain the capital.

planes today shot down and de-
stroyed two of Emperor Halle
Selassie's personal planes and
we're believed to have come near
trapping the Negus himself.
Destruction of the planes was
reported in the official military
communique, and International
News Service learned exclusively
the aircraft were personal ma
chimes of the Emperor's.
Since these planes never are far
from the Negus the Italian avia-
tors were believed to have missed

fire.
The planes were shot down with
a withering fire south of Lake
Ashangi which is only Is miles
south of Amba Alagi, important
mountain fortress now held by the
Italians.
The planes fell in the region
where the Ethiopian front lines
are presumed to be, and this indi.
Gated the Ethiopian Emperor had
progressed much further toward
the front than had been supposed
previously.
The Negus actually may be on
the Ethiopian front line, it was
believed here, and this recalled
his repeated assertions that. he
would 60 to the front to lead his
troops in battle personally as
soon as the right time came.
In some quarters it was
thought possibly the Negus had
assumed personal charge of his
front-line forces to engage the
Italians in some sort of decisive
encounter, desiring to push the
war speedily in fear that the
League of Nations would forget
Ethiopia during the European
crisis, and that the League might
bargain with Italy at the expense
Of Ethiopia.

New Kensington; Pa,
Being Abandoned
Before Flood

Another Pennsylvania city was
added to the constantly growing
list of communities in dire straits
with flood waters running through
the business districts when an
amateur radio operator in New
Kensington flashed an sos today.
The operator, whose station was
identified as W8GUF. said water
was rushing through the town and
that the river there was up AZ
feet. The flood had reached the
second-stories of buildings.
W8GUF said he could not hold
out much longer and that the
town, about 20 miles out of Pitts
burgh, was being abandoned. The
New Kensington operator said he
was taking to the roof very
shortly and would have to aban.
don his set.
Picked Up in Idaho
His call for help went unheard
in the East and was picked up
by an amateur in Idaho. The
Idaho amateur came in on an
other wave length and asked
Eastern amateurs:
What the hell is the mat
ter with you fellows? A man
in New KensingtOn, Pa, is try
ing to get an sos through to
you to get some help In his
town."
The Idaho man gave the East
erners the wave length on which
the New Kensington station wss

One Of the first in Washington
to pick up and identify the New
Kensington station was Merrill F.

was told Of conditions there.

Further adding to the distress
was the breakdown in communica-

successful operation Is so largely
founded upon repeat customers, it is
small wonder that progressive COM
panies regard the friendship and re-
spect of the customer as Of prime
importance.
It takes infinite pains to establish
the personal touch between a manu-
featuring company and the consumer.
Generally speaking, 1t is the personal
touch that forms the basis Of friendly
relations with the customer.
That means that in addition to a
good product, fair price and courte-
GUS treatment when a sale is made,
there must be something more that
will make the buyer feel that an
organization, or salesman from an
organization, is still interested in him
and the performance of the product
after he makes the purchase.
In most small package merchandise,
the sellers specific interest cannot ex-
tend much beyond the first three
with a general interest in perform
ance. But in large package merchan-
disc. as automobiles, there is quite a
different picture.
We know that automobiles are IN
tricate machines that must be given
some attention from time to time,
