GRANT JACKSON
 ON WAY SOUTH,
 BUSINESS TRIP

Business in Nome has steadily improved during the last five or six years with the increased pro- duction of gold due to the opening up of numerous new mining prop critics, according to Grant Jack son, President of the Miners and Merchants Bank of that city, who is in Juneau on his way south.
 Our bank handled over $2,000,000 worth of gold last year and the year before and this amount does not take into consideration the gold produced by the United States Smelling and Refining Company" he said.
 MT. Jackson, one of the out standing business men of Alaska, will continue from Seattle to New York and Washington, D. C., on business in connection with his banking interests and later visit both Los Angeles and San Fran cisco on business. He expects to be away from Nome for about six weeks or two months.

Russia's triumphant armies to- day reached White Russia, Strik- ing into the German-held republics bordering old Poland.
 Soviet dispatches said Russian ski troops dashing across heavy snow penetrated the German lines in White Russia. Locale of the pen etration was not given but Russian forces sweeping down from the Valdai hills northwest of Moscow were known to have reached Tor cpets, about 65 miles from the White Russian border, more than two weeks ago.
 White Russia lies west of Smo- lensk, key German base on the Dnieper River, 230 miles west of Moscow.
 A great Soviet break through at this point might easily jeopardize the whole German north flank around Leningrad.

 A55T. FIRE CHIEF
Niederhduser Resigns : Is on Way 10 Mayo Clinic
 for Treatment

Minard Mills, Juneau Water Company superintendent, today was appointed acting assistant chief of the Juneau Volunteer Fire Department by Chief V. w. Mulvi- hill
 Mills will fill the vacancy creat- ed by the resignation of William Niederhauser, who has sailed south to enter Mayo Clinic at Rochester, Minn, for medical treatment.
 Niedernauser, first elected as- sistant chief in 1881, served con- tinuously in that post until he decided to go south. A mechanic and shop foreman, he was em- ployed by the Connors Motor Com pany until last fall, when he took a leave of absence from the Fire Department to vacation in the States. He returned last month, but his health required him to make plans to transfer his resi- dence to the States, at least tenn porarily.
 Chief Mulvihill today lauded Niederhauser for his service to the city and expressed the hope the assistant chief would return at some future date.
 Mills will act as assistant chief until the April meeting of the de- when annual elections will be held and permanent as sistant chosen. Nominations for all offices will be held at the March meeting of the depart ment

TACOMA, Wash, Feb. 13 - A group of between 40 and 50 pickets made up of welders seeking to form an independent union in the big Seattle Tacoma Shipyards were beaten, manhandled and had their picketing signs torn away from them, then were chased over the tideflats in a clash with American Federation of Labor welders com ing off duty this morning.
 A dozen policemen on duty as guards were unable to stop the fighting. Some of the pursued pick cts took refuge in nearby coal freight railroad cars. Others were chased for blocks.
 The battle started when the graveyard shift left the yards, about 10 minutes after hundreds of men on the day shift wen t through the picket lines to work.

ernment, industry, and labor rep resentatives.
 Quick Action Necessary
 We have got to do something about the fishing industry" Blanc declared, "and do it quickly"
 G. Baltzer Peterson, general man ager for the Red Salmon Canning Company, said confusion over pri- critics was causing the fishing com panies much trouble and said the fish pack would decline this year
 He declared his company want ed to increase its output by estab- fishing cannery at Monterey Cal, but is unable to get priorities for the plant.
 Others Testify
 Walter Shields of the San Juan Fishing Company at Seattle, Nick Beg, Alaska packer; Joe Zurich International Fishermen and AL lied Workers Union representative, and Conrad Espe. United Canneries Workers representative, urged &C., tion to permit fishing in Bristol Bay next summer. They said the government has banned fishing there because of inadequate ship ping facilities.
 The packers and union represen- tatives said the Bristol Bay dis trict would provide one-third of the red salmon catch needed. The Rev. Dimitri Holvitsky of Belkof- sky. between Kodiak and Dutch Harbor, asked that fishing be per- mitted in that region, saying the natives depended upon fishing and trapping for their livelihood.

Yesterday 1t was reported that the

hold up delivery of the rest of the

vealed that he was now considering

ing horns.
This development came after the
new sirens had been tested and the
results had aroused doubts that the
sirens would be adequate. So Com
missioner Young decided to place
before the Board of Commission
ers the question Of the purchase of
the horns, to supplement the sirens.
The horns would cost about $30.-

that when it is shut off the siren
will have sufficient time to roll from
the high pitch wall to the low growl
when turning slowly"
Mr.. McBroom's point, of course, is
that siren isn't like a whistle,
which can be shut of instantly. 1t
takes a while for a siren to run
down, after 1t has reached full
blast. And 1t takes longer than a
half-second.
o. C. d. Offered Suggestion.
The Federal ONCE of Civilian De-
fense, in publishing instructions for
local defense organizations, recog-
nized the functional limitations of
sirens. The o. C. D. suggested that:
An afraid signal be either con-
tinuous, wavering wall lasting about
two minutes or that it be series
of fve-second blasts, with three
seconds of silence between blasts.
The all-clear should be a continu-
Gus. steady sound.
Mr.. McBroom's company, recog-
nizing that the signals established
for Washington are an impossible
ity, fixed the sirens so as to comply
with the o. C. D. regulations-and
not the Districts.
1t was recalled that when the Dis
trict'S own siren at fire alarm head
quarters attempted TO give signals
at a half-second interval it was
found impossible.
Col. Lemuel Bolles, executive di-
rector Of the District Defense Office,
said the matter was completely out
Of his hands, The whole matter has
been referred to a committee OF en-
gineers, he said.
