Charts Prepared
To Warn Against
Seismic Sea Waves
SEATTLE, OP*—The Coast and
Geodetic Survey has completed
its arrangements to give warnings
of earthquake sea waves to civil
defense authorities along the Pa
cific coast.
New charts showing travel
time for sea waves originating in
the North Pacific, chiefly in the
Aleutian Islands area, have been
completed. They will be used by
technicians in the Survey’s mag
netic observatory in Honolulu.
When an earthquake occurs in
an area likely to create a trouble
some wave, the observatory finds
out from its own or cooperating
tide stations whether such a wave
actually has started. The observa
tory then notifies military and
civil authorities of the estimated
time of arrival. t
The system has operated effec
tively in Hawaii, whose shores
are particularly vulnerable. Until
the new charts were prepared, it
was not possible to give close es
timates for other points.
Five charts have been prepared,
giving the time required for
earthquake sea waves from points
in the North Pacific to reach Neah
Bay, at the entrance to Puget
Sound, Crescent City, Calif.; San
Francisco, San Diego, and La
Jolla, California.
Seattle Army Terminal
Employes Protest Closing
SEATTLE —Several hundreds
of the Seattle Army Terminal’s
900 civilian employes last night
joined in protesting the closing of
the terminal, calling it false econ
omy.
The group said the closing, or
dered recently by the Army,
should be held up until an im
partial study of its costs, com
pared with other terminals, is
made.
They said in a telegram to offi
cials in Washington that “cargo
and passenger handling costs at
the Seattle Army Terminal are
the lowest on the West Coast.”
Numerous Seattle groups al
ready have expressed opposition
to the change, claiming it resulted
from pressure by California in
terests.

Will Be Remembered
By Downtown Marker
LJEXINGTON, Ky., lift—Smiley
Pete won’t be buried in the court
house yard, but a marker will be
erected at the main downtown
intersection for him.

was practically community prop
erty, died last week. Since he was
such a “celebrity,” it was suggest

I plot,”
