ALA5kA STORM 10 HIT SEATTLE; NEW
 GALE 50UTHBOUND

SEATTLE, Nov. l84R Still reeling from Tuesdays storm, the North Pacific area braced today for new gale reported to be sweeping coastward off the Gulf of Alaska.
 Earlier this week, high winds and waves claimed seven lives. sank three ships and damaged several others along the shores of Oregon Washington and British Columbia.
 The storm was expected to add to the danger of the Seattle tug Monarch, which reported ruddder trouble off Dundas Island, north west of Prince Rupert, E. C., yes- terday. The cutter White Holly, sent from Kctchlkan. tried to take the Monarch in tow, but was turn ed back by high winds, the Coast Guard reported.
 A large cutter, the Citrus, was expected to reach the tug this af- | ternoon. The Monarch, with a crew of l2, was towing 3.000,000 feet of logs south.

VICTORY CLAIMED
 BY CHINA
Communists Reported in Flight at Sulhow-Se
 Malone Makes Charges
(By The Associated Press)

tBy The Associated PreSs)
 China claimed today a great and complete victory at Suchow, with Communists in flight after suffering l30,000 casualties.
 The Nationalists were said to have lost only 40.00O men, but both sides often exaggerate casualty claims. It seemed true this time that the Gov ernment had won at least the first phase of the battle and the capital of Nanking appears safe for a while.
 The Communists said they held the initiative. It appears certain they had to abandon, for the mo- ment at least, the conquest of Su- chow and to withdraw for regroup- ing.
 The U. s. sent l,250 more marines from Guam to bolster the $500 men at threatened Tsingtao, U. $. naval station on .he Yellow Sea and evac-
 uation port for Americans in the
 area threatened ty the Reds. Whether the Marines would engage in open fighting with the Commun- ists depends on circumstances, the State Department said. Experts in Washington said the Communists could take Tsingtao anytime they
 wished. An American task force of dozen ships is there.
 ! Sen. Malone tR-Nev said in
 Tokyo Secretary of State Marshall lis to blame for the Nationalist Gov ernlnent's plight in China. He said Marshall shut off the flow of ain- intuition which would have held back the Communists, although the I U. s. already had given Chiang Kali , shek the guns for which the mu- nitions were needed.
 Malone said $2o.o0O,O0o worth of ammunition and machine guns would have saved China and that
 1000 planes to strafe and bomb Red lines might even yet save Chiang. He said President Truman already has all the authority he needs to give Chiang the credit to buy the planes.
 The China problem doubtless will be talked out Monday when Mar shall reports to MT. Truman.

 Day returned this week from a conference at Victoria, B. C., with Alaskan packing interests. He also attended meeting there of Amer ican members of the Canada-U. S. sockeye salmon commission
 Efforts of the past several years to rehabiiitate the sockeye salmon runs in the Fraser River of British ColumLia. are Beginning to show results, Day said,
 The expensive f.shway cf Hells Gate canyon has paid off in fine shape" he added
 "The salmon run up the river was good and the pack was good This is one of the outstanding con- servation jobs of our time
 Day also discussed the Lower Columbia River fishery rehab!lita- ton program with state officials of Washington and Oregon, and at San Francisco he conferred with California sportsmen on waterfowl hunting regulations and on out breaks of totul.sm at several game refuges.

 POSTAL RATES TO BE SOUGHT
By CHARLES MOLONY

WASHINGTON, Nov 18.--tR-
 President Truman will reney with vigor next year his plea for higher postal rates to help talance the bud get, those in the know said today The post office department now
 seems likely to wind up $500 0,00( in the red next June 30-an un- precedented loss which would ac- count for more than a third of the deficit forecast for the entire Gov ernment's operation this fiscal year Officials told a reporter private ly the increases most certain to be proposed will involve second class
 mail-made up chiefly of news
 papers and magazines. They said the reason is that the post office department rates that
 category as it's biggest money-loser
 They insisted the fact that ma 1 jority of the nations press opposed
 MT. Trumans election is beside the point.
 l To emphasize their no-retaliation contention, they recalled that the Pres dent recommended postal rate . boosts in each of the last two years and followed up the first sugges- i ton with a specific bill drafted by {, the Postmaster General. i A feature of that bill was sharply
 boosted rates for second class mat
 ter.
 But t never got out of commit ltee for vote in either house o1 :, Congress.
 Some increases were voted by the 80th Congress to go into effect or January 1. They will raise airinail
 stamps from five cents to six, make
 varying hikes in third and fourth class mail, and up rates on money orders and registered mail.

 The Secretary of State has called to Paris financial experts from Washington and Berlin to advise on the currency problem in Berlin -the issue which led the Russians to blockade the city in June. The airlift has been costing the U. $. taxpayers at the rate of $l00, 0,000,0 ,000 a year since It took two more British lives last night when a transport plane crashed. Marshall's move in Paris and an hour conference between Juan A. Bramuglia, November President of the U. N.

Bramuglia had new kind of compromise calling for gradual easing of the blockade and mak- ing Russian marks the sole Berlin money.

HIRING HALL ONCE AGAIN
 BIG PROBLEM
Both Sides, However, Con- fident in Final Settle
 ment of Troubles

SAN FRANCISCO. Nov 13.--tP-- West Coast waterfront peace talks continued today. but employers and strikers reported q new snag over the hiring hall.
 The strike involving five unions and some 28,0o0 workers went into its 18th week. Both sides were optimistic over prospects of settlement.
 But a joint union employer com mittee at press conference said the hiring hall had not been iron ed out. A joint press release last Tuesday had said negotiators reached tentative agreement" to preserve union control of hir- ing halls, pending court decisions.
 However, yesterday Dwight c. Steele, representing employers, and President Harry Bridges of the striking CIO longshoremen said.
 We are agreed on the hiring hall principle. but not agreed on the application of that principle. Our basic disagreement arises out of the Tait-Hartley Act"
 Wage issues are yet to be settled. The key longshoremen's union seeks l5 cent boost over the $l.67 hourly basic wage.
 There's an air of optimism, however as the West Coast Mari time unions negotiate with employ CT representatives in the 78-day -old Pacific Coast shipping tieup. The spokesmen for both sides are anx- ieus to come to terms.
 For one thing, longshore leader Harry Bridges and Hugh Bryson head Of the Marine Cooks sand Stewards, are anxious to attend the National CIO Convention open ing Monday in Portland. And em- ployers have indicated they are eager to take advantage of the East Coast maritime tieup to re- capture lost business

LETTERS FOR EUROPE. PUSHED
 

] NEW YORK, K,--iR--A young Am er:can writer and score of con tinental newspapers have joined forces in an ambitious campaign to get Europeans and Americans better acquainted--by mail. Their goal is the annual exchange of
 millions of personal letters between Mr. Average Citizen, U. s. A., and his counterpart in ten Western Eu-
 ropean countries.
 The American is Robert Farr' 30, magazine writer. European
 collaborators in the program are newspapers in France, Belgium Italy. the Netherlands. Denmark,
 Finland, Sweden, Norway. Luxem-
 bourg and Switzerland.
 Farr is founder and director of the International Friendship Asso-
 citation, which has launched a na- tionwide campaign to get Amerl- cans to write letters about them selves, their activities and Amer ica. These letters, which also may stipulate the type of European with whom the writer would like to cor respond, should be addressed 10 Friendship Association, Summit, New Jersey"
 The Association will relay the letters to cooperating European newspapers. The latter will distii-
 bute them to their readers. From
 that point on, the writers on both sides of the Atlantic are on their
 own They will mail succeeding
 communications direct to each oth-
 CT. The Association will furnish
 stationery to most of the Europ-
 can correspondents.
 This isn't new idea. We are
 just expanding an idea that's all
 ready been tried out successfully,
 Farr said.

 Prices can't go anywhere but up. If wages go up and materials go up, prices too must go up There is no place else for them to go"
 Would price control help?
 No Ford insisted. Price con- trol would wreck the nation--the auto industry included and ruin the economy
 Tt is ridiculous to think any person sitting in Washington can tell a company how much to charge for it's product"
