feminine viewpoints. Mr.. Clauss
has become associated with
George Daub, Philadelphia archi-
tect, since the home was built
in a mountainous section near
Knoxville, Tenn.
One of the most novel features
of the home is its entrance at
mezzanine level. Entering the
front door, the visitor comes in
on a broad landing on the stair
way leading up to living and
sleeping quarters on the second
floor and to the functional sec
tions on the ground floor
To give daylight to the stra-
tegic stair landing and to add a
modern decorative touch which
blends with the homes interior
and exterior treatment, the arch
itects installed large panel of
glass block beside the entrance.
Besides adding a safety measure
of daylight, the 4x7-foot block
partition protects privacy because
it is not transparent. When view
ed from outside at night, the
block has dramatically lumin-
Gus appearance.
Glass Block Saves Heat
Another consideration dictat-
ing the use of glass block at the
landing, which also serves as a
small reception hall, is an econ
omy in winter heating bills. The
block, having an exceptional in
sulating quality equal to an eight
inch brick wall, keeps heat from
escaping and presents no opening
for the chilly drafts which usu-
ally sweep down stairway.
The home, built especially for
a family of two adults and two
children, has three bedrooms and
two bathrooms. One bedroom
and bath is on the ground floor,
isolated from kitchen and dining
activities, while the master bed
room and q smaller chamber are
adjacent to the bath on the second
door. All are generously proper

CPA's Small Says Scars Will Show For Many Months

WASHINGTON, May 31, -(P)- Civilian Production Administrator John D. Small, said the soft coal strike and other work stoppages set back output on automobiles and other consumer goods at least three months. He estimated the coal strike alone cost inc country close to two billion dollars in lost production, not counting the loss of wages to million odd workers.
 American economy will bear "the scars of the coal strike for many months to come" the CPA chief predicted in his monthly re- port on production.

 Byrd told the Senate Lewis has won his greatest victory"
 Praise for the agreement came from Senator Pepper, however, during the Senate debate over Truman's emergency labor leg islatiOn.
 Pepper noted that the contract provided for the miners welfare fund stipulated the fund be ad- ministered by a board of three members, one named by the gov ernment, one by the miners, and a third by the other two members.
 The end of the soft coal strike left Truman with a problem pre- Sented by the hard coal fields.

Alaska Rates Being Heard In Washington
Alaska Rate Hearing

Offering testimony which diff fered radically from that presen- ted by the Alaska Steamship op- orators last November in Seattle, the War Shipping Administration estimated in the recent hearing before the Maritime Commission . in Washington that a rate increase of 12 per cent would be suffic- tent to make up losses sustained by the government in the Alaska trade in 1945.
 4 An increase between 80 and 100 percent was claimed in Nov ember by the carriers, Alaska Steamship Company, Northland Transportation Company and Al aska Transportation Company, as necessary to enable the ships to operate profitably under private ownership.
 The direct financial loss to the government for the operation of War Shipping Administration con trolled vessels in 1945 in the AL aska trade was $1,361, ,861.93 it was disclosed.
 John Jago, VISA attorney, stat ed that if a rate increase would be more than the traffic could bear it was hoped the Maritime Commission would recommend that VISA seek authority to sub sidize losses rather than have a rate increase.
 Territorial and federal witnes- ses and attorneys concurred in the statement made by Donald J. o. Connor of the Office of Price Ad- ministration that "there have been no data so far offered by the car riers, the VISA or the OPA on the 'basis of which, up to this time, any substantial change in rates can be justified. The present rates to Alaska are already too high, some higher than the traffic should bear, and the canning in- dustry is not paying either what it's traffic could bear or, for the services it demands, the cost those services entail"
 The Territory was represented by Ralph J. Rivers, Attorney Gen. eral, and the Alaska Development Board by David E. Scoll.
 Officials of the Alaska carriers, Gilbert Skinner, President of Al aska Steamship Company, and S. J. Swanson, Vice President and General Manager of Alaska Tran sportation Company, defended . their forecasts made in Seattle that under private operations in l946 their companies would sus-
