] U5CG ADM|RAl5 HIGH IN PRAISE OF l
 NEW DISTRICT HQ

Persons conditioned to gold braid during wartime probably labeled the two visitors in multi as busi- ness men. Certainly, the average civilian does not visualize admirals in browns and tweeds, sweaters and colorful neckwear.
 That is just the way the visiting admirals planned it--a visit to Ju- neau incognito, except to their own staff, to see how things are lining up for the transfer to Juneau of United States Coast Guard Dis trict Headquarters.
 Rear Admiral R. T. McElligott, who is acting commander of the 18th and 17th Districts in Seattle, flew here with Rear Admiral Joseph Greensrun, who will command the 17th District when the transfer is official and complete. They arrived Friday evening in a Coast Guard RAD, and took off this morning fer the return to Seattle.
 Admiral McElligott was extrava- gantly enthusiastic about the new District headquarters-the struc- ture that properly is called the Community Building, but is gen. erally referred to as the Coast Guard Building
 PROUD OF HEADQUARTERS
 We are very, very proud of our fine, new quarters" said Admiral Mac" this morning.
 "The architects and the com munity have done fine job. It is typical of the wonderful reputa- ton Juneau has with the Coast Guard. Juneau has always been popular duty assignment.
 We hope the same spirit that put up the new building will help us get desirable housing" he added. We do have a morale prob lem in that quarter. We do not want discontented personnel, and it can be happy one only when all the families are we'll located here.
 We realize The continued, "that the citizens of Juneau have done everything they can, but there still is a crying need for low-cost hous- ing. Everyone really has gone out of the way to get accommodations we want to thank the manage ment of the Baranof Hotel, as well as all the others
 Admiral McElligott commented that he is sure everyone will like Juneau. Tt is a teautitul city, in beautiful setting, and the head quarters offices are second to none"
 It was first visit to Juneau for Admiral Mac who however, had made seven cruises to Alaska, one on the old Bear.
 Admiral Greenspun said the weekend visit was like a home coming, although he had not been here for 20 years. He came here then on a Coast Guard cutter.
 According to Admiral McElligott, no further installations nor opera tions will be transferred here. Ket- chikan, former district headquart- CTS, still will have the Section Base, which is chiefly for operation and maintenance of aids to navigation in Alaska
 communications will continue from Point Higgins, and Coast Guard Air Facilities at Kodiak and Annette Island will be operated as before, but from the Juneau head quarters.
 While in Juneau, the visiting Admirals conferred with Comdr. D. McGregor Morrison, ranking per- manent staff member in the ab- sence of Capt. N. s. Haugen, Chief of Staff.
 The Coast Guard moved into the handsome three-story Community Building last week.

AF0GNAk'5 CREW REACHES JUNEAU
 AFTER SHIP SINKS
Skipper Tells of Fight 10 Reach Controller Bay
 in Storm

The skipper of the wrecked tug Afognak today gave first-hand account of the battle to Controller Bay.
 Fred Brandes Jr.. Captain of the Juneau boat which was beached in sinking condition early Thursday morning at the mouth of the bay. returned to Juneau Gcy air from Cordova yesterday. This is his story of the ill-fated journey.
 The Afognak, Juneau-based boat, had been towing barges ot lumber from Sitka to Whittier dur ing the summer. It was returning from it's last trip.
 The weather was fine past Hin- chinbrook Island as the Afognak proceeded to the southeast. AS it left the shelter of the Island on course for Cape St. Elias, weather fore cast announced change in wind, but no great change in velocity was announced. The ship proceeded.
 Off Cape St. Elias, the wind in- creased to nearly 60 miles per hour. and visibility decreased to mot more than a mile" Brandes said.
 With an 18-foot sea running, Brandes decided to turn back.
 An hour and a half after we turned back, the engineer came up and told us we were sinking. He said the water was up to the engine room floor"
 It was at 10:40 pm. (Juneau time) Wednesday night when Brandes altered course again, this time making for Controller Bay. The 25-mile fight to get the little ship to the beach had begun.
 The water continued to rise, visi- tility was zero, rain was pouring down, and the sea was still run ming. But the little ship was taking no water-not then.
 ENGINE BEGINS MISSING
 At 2:30 am. Thursday morning, the engineer was forced by rising waters to leave the engine room. Brandes called the Coast Guard, and St. Elias answered. He informed them of his destination and gave them his compass course.
 An hour later, the engine began missing; and Brandes gave orders to abandon ship.
 As the lifeboat was being swung out, the roll of the ship pitched it into the funnel and the cook, Arthur Johnson of Bellingham, Washington, was pinned between the funnel and the boat and badly bruised.
 It was then that Brandes decided to stay with the ship until engines quit.
 We talked it over and decided that it wouldn't be as risky as taking to the boat in that kind of sea-" he said.
 But he couldn't inform the Coast Guard of his charge of plans, for water had put the radio out of commission.
 The engine kept plugging on, and, although there was no free- board left and each wave went over the ship by that time, the Afognak passed safely through rocky waters

DESPERATE GAMBLE BY
 LABOR GOVT.
Eleven Nations of Europe Also Cut Currency Value
 -FindncidI Turmoil
By HAL COOPER

LONDON. Sept. 19,--tR- A 3o.5 per cent cut in the dollar value of the pound sterling hit the Brit ish public like a blow in the face. There was financial turmoil the world over.
 The Labor government. in des- perate gamble to save the nation from threatened bankruptcy, hun ger and misery slashed the worth of the pound last night from $4.03 to $280.
 Banks were closed. The London Stock Exchange and those in France, Holland. Greece, South Af- rica and many other countries were shut down. Foreign exchange trad ing was forbidden in much of Eu- rope and the sterling area. Tn Lon don. harried brokers traded stocks and bonds on the sidewalk
 Business was at a virtual stand still in this great city which once was the financial and economic heart of the world.
 Eleven nations of Europe and Asia quickly cheapened their money to match the British move Cabi- nets in other world capitals held emergency sessions to decide what to do.
 Financial Turmoil
 It was the biggest financial tur- moil the world has seen since Britain went off the Gold Standard OH another September Sunday night almost 18 years ago to the day
 Devaluation of the pound was intended to solve Britain's grave financial crisis by selling more and cheaper goods to America.
 The new cheaper pound means that Americans may buy Scotch whiskey, English tweeds. Stafford shire china and many other Brit ish products at lower prices.
 Open Air Market
 By midday. 2.000 stockholders and clerks damned into the street in front of the stock exchange. They had an open air market go- ing especially in booming gold shares.
 The British economic boss Sir Stafford Cripps said last night in a nation wide address that England is banking on a big boost in dollar earnings-enougt for Britain to become self-supporting by the time the European Recovery Plan ends in 1952
 That is the only permanent so- lution for our difficulties-earn more dollars Cripps said.
 He warned that if Britain's gold reserves continue to drain away as fast as they have in recent months. Britons will suffer lower stand ards (of living and widespread un- employment"
 The same problem faces most of the other countries of the world outside the Soviet orbit. where economic policies are dictated by the Kremlin
 Currency Value Cuts
 Within a few hours after Brit aims announcement, similar cuts in the value of their currency were announced by Australia, South Af- rica, India, New Zealand. Irelanf Israel, Norway, Denmark, Malayr. Burma and Egypt.

 VIEWS IN SEATTLE
 SEATTLE, Sept. 19.-tR--A sharp increase in the import of English products was forseen here tooay as the result of Great Britair's de- valuation of the pound.
 Dietrich Schmitz, president of the Washington Mutual Savings Bank, predicted the lumber indus try will feel the pinch more sharp ly than other industries.
 Dr. Howard H. Preston, dean of the University of Washington's School of Economies and Business, said an influx of woolens, cutler ies, whiskey, pottery and other items also is probable.
 CRIPPS FLOP
 LONDON, Sept 19.-IR-- Sir Stafford Cripps said: "No, no, mo- Then he said it again and again and again. And then he devalued the pound anyway.
 A search of the records today showed that the Chancellor of the Exchequer had made nine public denials since January 26, 1948, that the pound would be cheapened.
 The explanation, perhaps, was given by Sir Philip Snowden, when lte was Chancellor of the Excheq- uar in 1881:
 If a chancellor ever admitted devaluation was likely, it would im- mediately become inevitable, be- cause foreigners would stop buying our goods in the hope of getting them more cheaply later on."
 NEW YORK, Sept. 19.-tR- A 20 per cent price cut on British automobiles by one dealer was among the early reactions today to the devaluation of the British pound.
 The situation remained somewhat foggy as importers and American representatives of British firms awaited word from London as to just what reductions would be made by British manufacturers.
 The general opinion seemed to be that price cuts in this country on British goods would be less than the 30.5 per cent reduction in the pounds value, but still might be substantial and stimulate sales. i.
 One importer estimated British woolens sold here and American woolen goods made from foreign wool would drop from 10 to 20 per cent.
