RED CROSS CHAPTER HERE DEALS WITH 479 CASES IN 7 MONTHS

The Juneau Chapter of the American Red Cross has quietly taken care of 479 emergency cases during the past seven months, spending $500 on the emergency work.
 These figures were released today by the local Red Cross chapter on the eve of it's 1850 fund-raising cam paign. The drive for funds will be- gin Monday and continue until the end of the week.
 While the figures were being given, the confidential case files of the Juneau chapter were opened enough to permit a glimpse of some of the work done in this area dur ing the past year.
 That work included five cases ot aiding in the location of lost rela- tives, two originating in Sweden and one in Germany. It included help during disasters and the giving of aid and comfort to survivors ot four fires in this part of Southeast Alaska.
 Emergency shipment from Seattle of blood for a dangerously ill man in Skagway was brought about through the efforts of the local Red Cross Chapter, and reunion with his dad who was in the armed forces was arranged for an unhappy nine year-old boy.
 Another "aid-to-th unhappy" was recorded by the Red Cross. A veteran in a government hospital was puzzling the physicians. He had nothing apparently wrong with him yet he wasn't recovering as he should have. Final diagnosis: he was homesick. So the Juneau Chap ter of the Red Cross arranged a trip home for him and in that manner aided in his recovery.
 Not all the recorded cases had

happy endings, in spite of the eff forts of the Red Cross, officials pointed out.
 A youth in the armed forces asked Red Cross aid in finding his father, who had left home after the youths mother blamed him for the acci- dental death of his l2-year-old brother while they were fishing. The Red Cross found the father with the Army in Japan. It aided the youth in arranging for emergency leave. and father and son met at home.
 But a reconciliation could not be arranged. The father left for Japan; and the son, apparently caring little about anything but the blame for his brothers death, re- turned to Alaska and his armed forces job. He became delinquent in his duties and was finally dishon- orably discharged.
 In spite of such setback and un- happy endings the Red Cross work continues. Case after case comes to the attention of the Chapter and each is dealt with as well as pos sible, sometimes for months before it is brought to a close, officials said.
 Through the help that every one gives once a year, Red Cross is able to help people the year round, :" the officials said.

 Dear Sir I have to acknowledge receipt of your letter of the 3lst of october, and would point out that, as the United Kingdom is itself the manufacturer of some of the finest chinaware in the world, we are not in the market fer china manufactured elsewhere; nor do I think that any of the other embassies in the British Commonwealth would be interested in your proposal.

CHINAWARE

While the State Department is 1 pushing its multiple trade agree ments and the internationalists are pressing for the adoption of the Ito agreements, another American industry is being squeezed to death 1y cheap-wage competition and Jumping by dollar-anxious govern nents.
 The item is chinaware and pot cery.
 This American industry is widely scattered and is held by compara- lively small businesses. There is a concentration of pottery and china ware manufacturing in the vicin- ity of Zanesville and East Liver pool Ohio, but this is an unusual industry not only because it is widely scattered but also because 5here remain in it one and two main plants. It is therefore diff cult for chinaware manufacturers to exert great political pressures
 According to the vitrified China Association, the wage scale of work CTS in this industry in 1948 was. The United States, S1.30 per hour; England, 43 cents an hour; Bel gium, 31 cents; Germany, 30 cents; France, 26 cents; Italy, 25 cents; Czechoslovakia, 2 cents; Japan, ) cents. And in this country, wages have gone up since then.
 As labor costs are the biggest item in the production of this commodity, American labor can aot complete with low scale wages, particularly when the tariff is manipulated to favor the foreign product. I am told that over 100 small one and two-main plants around Los Angeles have been driven out of business since the war, due to dumping from Japan.
 Medium grade chinaware is in competition with chinaware from Czechoslovakia. Considerable so- called Dresdenware is coming into this country marked MeisSen, Vze- choslovakia. But Meissen is not in Czechoslovakia; it is in Saxony in east Germany, which is in the Russian zone. In word, our GUS toms officials permit the Russians lO fol label Ac thnrn ic m r.can consul in Meissen, the mani tests are handled from our consul ate in Prague as though it were CZechoslovakian goods.
 Perhaps it really makes no dif- ference, but there are Americans who would not buy Russian made or controlled goods at any cost. Such persons are being fooled into ,uying this stuff on the assump- ion that it is Czechoslovakian and net Russian zone goods, if it makes any difference.
 Imports are on the constant rise. Although the total dollar volume f this generally low-priced con- modity is not high, the effect of he imports on our industry is im- 2crtant and in some places, disas- Tous.
 An astonishing callousness toward American producers of chinaware was recently noted by Senator Hugh Butler of Nebraska, who call d attention to the fact that Am s1ican embassies use German (that IS, Russian chinaWare in prefer ence to the American made. This vas done without bid, without advertising, without giving the Am- erican manufacturers a chance.
 Allen (Allyn?) Donaldson of the State Department is reported to nave explained this unusual attitude toward American goods as follows:
 The reason why we didn't ad- qertise this thing was because we didn't want commission men to

Eager to have all repliminaries accomplished within a month, so that construction can begin the last of February, John Argetsin- ger has engaged a number of ex- perts to staff the Community Fa- cilities Service in Alaska.
 Meantime, Argetsinger, district engineer for Alaska, has forward ed to Washington project applica- tions totalling approximately $2,- 8O0,OOO for matching funds under
 the new Alaska Public Works bill. .'H.'- tr''
 Argetsinger hopes to receive approval on the first several pro- jects this week. .-.
 The Alaska director added per sonnel for the Territory on > a quick trip to Seattle recently, and several Juneauites have been Gre cruited" for the bureau. =
 .ArgetSinger expects to open construction work at Fairbanks the end of February, if approval of present projects" is given in Washington.
 Of the project applications all ready submitted by municipal and Territorial authorities, the majority are for school construc- tion, according to Argetsinger. He says the applications are evenly spread, as to representation throughout the Territory.

Foreign Sub Reported Sighted Off West Coast

SAN FRANCISCO, (P) Navy planes were ordered to search the waters off northern California Saturday for a foreign Submar- inc.
 The Twelfth Naval District an- nouuced the flights as it received, with some skepticism, fourth re- port that a u-boat had been seen off Eureka, Calf.
 The navy did not question the previous reports-two by fishing boat captains and a third by a private pilot. From these descrip- tions navy spokesmen said the mysterious submersible appeared to be a German craft. many of which are now in possession of the Russians.
 Ray Mason of Eureka said he saw sub surface Friday about 500 yards from the Humboldt Bay lifeboat station. A navy spokes- man said the navy was inclined to question the accuracy of the re- port because Mason was 314 miles from where he said the subma- rine emerged.
