Shipping Tied Up

San Francisco (R)-AFL Sail ors' union of the Pacific rejected a second government plea for a truce yesterday as it joined the nationwide maritime strike which has tied up at least lS9 vessels along the West Coast.
 An estimated 90,000 sailors packed their gear and walked off ships in protest of a Wage Stabil- ization board order denying them a full wage increase of re- cent contract negotiations.
 President Truman said the strike IS in the hands of Secre- tary of Labor Schwellenbach,
 In New York 343 vessels of all nations were tied up.
 The Kodiak office of the Alaska Steamship office has been advised of cancellation of all sail- 'ings, and on the outgoing Lak- ina, which IS due today at the base, only freight subject to de- lay in unloading in Seattle will be accepted,
 The Lakina was due at the base at 8 am this morning, next at Erskine's Sunday or Monday and then to the City dock.

DIVER DAVIDSON HERE HAS HAD BENDS,
4 X
Salvaged Normandie; Was In African Invasion
L X
FOUGHT SEA MONSTERS: UNDERWATER

Harold B. Davidson, ex Chief
Boatswain's Mate USNR, sal
wage expert, inventor, diver, ex-
plorer is in Key West with Mrs.
Davidson and daughter. and is
residing at Poinciana.
His wide experience has car
ried him from the romantic tasks
of scientific expeditions, gath
ering specimens and taking SUBJ
marine movies among coral
reefs, to the hard dangerous
construction of sea walls, bridge
foundations. and salvage of
sunken ships, often in sub zero
weather.
He was on the first Navy
crew to begin work salvaging
the i'll fated Normandie. Later
he took part in the African in
vasion. He was thrice commend
ed while in the service. One of
his salvage devices was accepted
by the Navy for use in ship
salvage.
His first hand experiences
with the so-called monsters of
the deep include octopus, manta,
sting rays, and the ferocious
Conger eel. This man has shot
more air bubbles at voracious
sharks and barracuda than most
people have blown smoke rings
in the safe sanctum of their own
homes. He considers them more
of an annoyance than a danger
to deep sea diver,
AS staff member of several
scientific expeditions, he was
with the New York Aquarium
securing rare Caribbean speci-
mems; The Sutton Expedition in
the Bahamas; and the Barton
Expedition which made and pro-
duced the picture ''Titans of the
Deep" under the direction of
Otis Barton, inventor of the
Bathysphere. He also served on
the first collecting crew of the
Marine Studios of st. Augustine
Florida and built the reproduc-
ton of the coral reef in the tank
at Marineland.
The real dangers of diving, he
insists, lie mostly in the human
element, such as mistakes made
above the surface. Mechanical
failures and faulty equipment
account for many casualties. The
physical limitations of the hum
an body under pressure add to

count for many casualties.
How does it feel to die. David
son can tell you. He was one of
the few to survive squeeze.
Alone and crushed beneath

the agonies of the dread squeeze.
His apparently lifeless body.
cruelty compressed, was hauled
to the surface and taken from
his water filled dress. Adrenalin
injections directly into the
heart, were necessary to start it,
and he lived again.
With the hum of tropic winds
still in his memory, Davidson
has tales of buried treasures,
wrecked galleons, and fabulous
loot. Davidson is in Key West
now interested in searching out
tales of treasures along the reefs
and on shore.

MONEY VALUES
FELL in As
BY GEORGE PHILLIPS

AP Newsfeatures
NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-The earn
ing power of money dropped to
the lowest levels in history in
1945 and made possible the great
est volume of corporation bond
refunding since the lush 1929 era.
The federal government made
it an instrument of national pol
icy to keep interest rates low. AS
a result, the largest debt ever pill
ed up by any nation was carried
by the Treasury Department at
an average interest rate of few
points under two percent.
This was a far cry from the
average rate on the gross public
debt during and after the last
World War. On March 81, 1917,
interest rates averaged 1896 per-
cent and by Aug. 81, 1919, had
advanced to the record high of
4.196 percent. The figures are
from Moody's Investment Service.
Investors Squeeze
In 1945 the owner of money for
investment felt the squeeze from
many other directions. The aver
age interest rate paid by mutual
savings banks on deposits was
Ito percent, against 1.78 a year
earlier.
Virtually every corporation in
the country that had funded
debt and a reasonably good credit
rating refunded existing obliga-
tions with lower interest securl-
ties. s3y Sd .yH
OF the total corporation financ-
/ ing in 1915 of approximately S.
750,000,000, all but around ST.
900, 100000 was to replace out
standing bonds. During the year
there were 125 bond issues bear
ing coupons of more than four
percent removed from the New
York Stock Exchange list. Most
of them were replaced with ga
to 312 percent paper, depending
on how good the credit of the is
suing company and spot market
conditions when they were
brought out.
Refunding operations in 1945
were more than double the 1914
total and by far the largest
amount since 1929.
This included money in circula-
ton, bank deposits, bond holdings
and other assets capable of being
quickly converted to money.
Bond Prices Up
The steady pressure of funds
was reflected in rising bond mar
ket prices throughout the year.
Obligations of railroads that only
a year or so ago were in receiver
ship enjoyed wide patronage. The
Associated Press average of 20
rails rose from around $3.50 to
103, the highest since the index
has been in existence.
The 10 utility bonds in the
compilation made the second best
showing among domestic loans,
rejecting the overall improve
ment in the electric power and
light industry, strongly evident
during the last half of the year.
Industrial and low-yield bonds,
which had their big year in 1914,
held on to all the advantage price

interest rates through refunding,
