VETS ARE WARNED
 BETTER REINSTATE ON LIFE INSURANCE;

Veterans of World War II have but a few months left in which to reinstate the life insurance they carried in the service without talk ing physical examination, Barn. ard EStebrook, contact officer of the Veterans Administration at Ju- neau. warned today.
 Any veteran of World War II who carried National Service Life insurance. the kind he had in the armed forces, may reinstate if he has let the policy lapse by simply paying two monthly premiums and signing a comparative health state men, said Estebrook
 Some veterans in Alaska are under the impression that unless they enlisted CT were inducted in the Territory they are not eligible to reinstate, said the contact off cer. This is definitely not true Any veteran, anywhere, may apply for reinstatement if he failed to continue monthly payments when he left the service.
 Cost of the level term insurance is at the same low rate paid in the service, Estebrook said, and the veteran has up to years from date of original policy to con- vert into one of the six kinds of policies now available. Recent legislation enacted by Congress also provides that the beneficiary may now receive lump sum settlement at the time of death of the in sured.
 Veterans who have let their poli- cies lapse or wish to convert to a permanent form are urged to get in touch with or write EstebroOk at the Veterans Administration office in Juneau. Other contact offices of the VA where NSLI application forms as well as information con- cerning the many other rights and benefits to which the veteran may be entitled are located at Anchor age, Fairbanks and Ketchikan. Veterans living nearest one of these places should get in touch with the contact representative there.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 18.-The Solid Fuels Administration has frozen all soft coal supplies in an ticipation of a bituminous mine shutdown next Wednesday mid night.

CITY STRUCK
 SECOND TIME;
 BIG DAMAGE
Larqe Quantities of Winter Supplies Ruined- Build
 ings Are Undermined

NOME, Alaska, Nov. 18.-Shiver- ing residents assessed the damage of this city's second winter gale today to determine if it would be necessary to fly in emergency sup plies.
 Towering waves whipped by a freezing wind hurled sea ice against the rear of business structures on Front street yesterday-just three weeks after another storm had swept away bulkhead protection and claimed two lives.
 Large quantities of winter sup plies stored in the basement of the Northern Commercial Company de- partment store were ruined when ammonia lines from cold storage plant broke, and two small ware houses of the Polet department store, largest in the community, were washed away, but rescue crews managed to salvage the merchan- disc.
 Badly damaged were the Lomen Commercial lighterage equipment building and warehouse bar, a theatre, bakery, city hall, fire sta ton and two restaurants. The con- crete Merchants Bank building was further undermined by a swirling, flashing backwash through the shat tered bulkheads
 All business houses and bars were closed by police order.

By DREW PEARSON

fEd. Note--ThiS is the sec
 end of Drew Pearson's columns
 on Amcrica's most powerful la
 bOr leader, John l.. Lewis.
 WASHINGTON-All sorts of leg end has grown up about the life of John L. Lewis As youung man he is supposed to have encountered a vicious mine mule named Span ish Pete and to have knocked the mule down with one blow of his list.
 Whether this is fact or fiction, it is no legend that when Lewis encountered 25O-pound Bill Hutch inson, head of the Carpenters Union, at an Atlantic City labor convention, he floored him with one blow to the chin. The two men are now boscm pals, neverthe- less, and both ardent rooters for the Republican Party.
 Another legend has it that Lewis eats three beefsteaks for break fast. Lewis does like red meat, and his yammeriEg against the OPA regarding meat was partially per sonal However, this writer, who mas lunched with Lewis many times can testify that, regardless of breakfast, he eats only one beef steak at lunch.
 Another myth has it that Lewis does net hesitate to use violence against labor factions which op- pose him. This idea probably aris- es from the Herrin, H.. massacre in which about 400 of Lewis's min-

SONORA LEE IS PULLED OFF BAR;
 LS T0WED HERE

Six men and a power barge took all that old man Winter could throw at them for two days, and late last night arrived in Juneau behind a tug with the barge and a good part of her cargo still intact.
 The BSP Sondra Lee, owned by Earl Forsythe of Juneau and skip pered by Johnny Bahrt of Sitka, was beating her way North in Stephens Passage to Juneau Friday morning in binding snow storm.
 We had plenty of power to come on to Juneau" said Skipper Bahrt, but We slowed down and headed up Seymour canal on compass course to save the cargo
 Aground On Bar
 At a few moments before 8.30 a. m. the Sondra Lee ran hard aground on a gravel bar, near the entrance to Mole Harbor on the west side of Seymour canal. The log shows that everything was done that could be done. An sos was immediately sent out, and was as quickly acknowledged by the US- co Wachusett from Juneau. Bahrt made every attempt to back off the beach. but was unable to do so. His crew loaded emergency supplies in the dory. and checked over the barge for damage, though seas and spray were going over the top Of the Sondra Lee.
 Wachusett At Scene
 The Wachusett arrived on the scene at l2:05, according to the log and preparations were immediately commenced dor the Coast Guard vessel to pull tiie ssondra Lee off A wire cable was passed between the two, tut broke under pressure. It was decided to contact tug, while the Wachusett anchored in Mole Harbor behind the reefs. The Fcss No 19 was in Juneau and went to the scene last Saturday. Plans were made for another at tempt, this time by the tug, to free the Sondra Lee and her cargo, still largely intact, from the beach where she lay helpless. If that fail ed the crew was to be taken off by the Foss No. 19 and brought to Juneau until weather permitted salvage operations.
 However, at 9;5c -lAday morn ing the barge came free. The tug tock her in tow, because the rud- ders were damned so Bahart could not maneuver. They arrived in Juneau shortly before midnight last night.
 None of the men on board, re- ported Bahrt, were any the worse for the experience He did claim, however, that Pete and Harvey Me Nulty, brothers from Sitka, increas- ed their capacities couple of notches during the two day stay on the beach The crew consisted of Bahrt, Earl Forsythe, the own CT R. N Seaburg, A. L. Berthold and Pete and Harvey McNulty.
 Skipper Bahrt stated that in his opinion the efforts made by the USCG Wachusett were commend able in every respect. The cutter did everything possible in the way of assistance, and stood by until the tug got the Sondra Lee off and had taken her under tow as far as Point Hugh.
