Many Waves Caused
Continued from Paee l,

Many waves Caused
 The great tidal wave, cl1urned J by a submarine earthquake off tlS0 Aleutian Islands. hit the Hawaiian chain early Monday. The saMp temblor caused other tidal waves which lashed at the Aleutians neAR the Alaskan coast, the United States mainland, as far south as Chile and west to the shores of Japan.
 Army commanders at Dutch Har;- bor, Atka and Adak reported that the latest wall of water had not damaged their installations. Navy pilots reported another section q the tidal wave rolling slowly alonk the north edge of the Aleutian area into Bristol Bay in the Boring Sea. However. weather stations in the area said the only evidence of mar rine disturbances 30 far was a slightly higher than normal tide.
 It. Comdr. William D. Patterson, head of the Hawaiian Coast and Geodetic Survey. said that nigh waves still were hitting the islands. but were too small to cause daln- age. He said the waves came in at l2 minute intervals, and predicted they would continue for several days.
 Some 60 women and children were evacuated from the Alaskan fishing village of Naknek as a precautionary measure after pilots reported the bays waters had receded abnormal- ly for 100 miles along the coastline.
 Survivors Sought at Sea
 Army authorities in Hawaii, meanwhile, clamped emergency measures just short of martial law on the territory. Air-sea rescue units sought possible survivors at sea and others probed twisted wreckage of homes and buildings for the dead and missing.
 At least l56 were dead or missing in the Hawaiian Islands and prop erty damage was estimated in the millions, but the final count was far from complete and officials still predicted that the casualty toll would be near 300.
 Hardest hit was Hilo, second larg- est city in the Hawaiian territory with a population of more than 25,- 900. There were 81 known dead in the islands, most of them at Hilo. Another 55 are missing on Hawaii and 20 more on Maui and Oahu.
 Approximately 450 persons were injured, according to Red Cross ana Army estimates.
 No Navy Lives Lost
 The Navy announced that no Navy lives were lost in the Hawaiian area including Midway Johnstons Wake, Palymra and Canton Islands
 All emergency facilities in the islands were working on 2a hour basis to feed, clothe and shelter the refugees and prevent possipie outbreaks of epidemics.
 Thirteen school children and feuF teachers who were swept to sea py the tidal waves were still missing off the coas. Of Hamakua Island. Three Of the missing teachers, ali from Laupahoehoe, Hawai-, were Identified as Fay Johnson, vinfons Va; Dorothy Drake. Columbus, O. and Helen ingseed. Sidney. Q.

Following Mr.. Krug's retreat,

into the ash-can. With prices con-
stantly rising, as one decontrol came
after another, 1t was necessary to
raise wages, increases Of which were
followed by still higher prices. In
many instances higher wages could
have been paid out Of the huge
profits that were being made, but
the policy Of the administration was
to protect profits, while adding as
little as possible to wages. Under

the housing program was developed

Clifford work so closely together
that the captain has come to adopt
Mr.. Aliens cliches, one Of them
being that "prefabrication would de-
stroy real estate values" Instead
Of providing adequate housing for
returned veterans, these MASTER
minds are now working on a theory
of scarcity which will mean higher
housing costs. Henry A. Wallace's
conception Of killing little pigs was
not nearly so brilliant as Is Mr..

Not only was power to do the
housing Job granted by the Patman

dent himself. So, by statute and
by presidential decree, Mr.. Wyatt
had plenty OF authority. But when
he aimed directive at George E.
Allen, and Mr.. Allen refused to
obey 1t, the only recourse was to ap-
peal to the President. This Mr..

that the schedule she would have me
