Ken Kadow Says
Nothing Improper
In Tin Co. Loan
WASHINGTON, Iff)— Kenneth
|
Kadow, Alaska builder and for
mer president of the U.S. Tin
Corp., told investigating senators
Wednesday he “never did any
thing . . . which could remotely
be considered improper” in con
nection with U.S. Tin’s 1951 loan
application to the government.
He testified also that the firm’s
Alaskan operation “is not a fail
ure; I believe we are making
money now.”
Kadow was special deputy to
former Interior Secretary Oscar
Chapman for Alaskan affairs up
to 1951. Kadow left that job and
went to work for U.S. Tin shortly
before the company got the first
of its several government-insured
loans.
Later he became president of
the company, which operates an
underground tin mine at Lost
River, but quit after government
officials questioned the efficiency
of the operation.
The Senate-House Committee
on Defense Production is investi
gating all aspects of the tin opera
tion and Kadow’s connection with
it. There have been charges in
previous testimony that Kadow
worked in behalf of the corpora
tion’s loan application while he
was with the government and
while he had an agreement to take
a job with U.S. Tin.
Kadow denied these charges. He
said he went on the payroll of
U.S. Tin April 1, 1951 and that
there was “not a Chinaman’s
chance that I had any connection
with the U.S. Tin in any way,
shape or manner in 1950.”
Compared to most gem stones,
the emerald is soft.

Victoria’s Hull Still
“In Beautiful Shape;”
Ship Will Become Barge
The 84-year-old steamer Vic
toria, oldest ship in the American
merchant marine, was purchased
last month by Straits Towing,
Ltd., of Vancouver from Dulien
Steel Products Co. and will be
converted into an oTe barge. The
Alaska Line had sold the famous
old lady last March to Dulien
Steel after operating her 50 years
in the Alaska trade.
The Vic will be dismantled in
Seattle and converted into a barge
in Canada. The vessel was in dry
dock at the Todd Shipyard for
inspection last month, and the
men who examined the ship said
her hull was “in beautiful shape.”
She still has the original Swe
dish iron hull with which she
began her career in 1870 when
launched in Dumbarton, Scotland,
as the Atlantic liner Parthia.
