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
ine.
The Twelfth Naval District an
nounced the flights as it received,
with some skepticism, a fourth re
port that a u-boat had been seen
off Eureka, Calif.
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 j
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 a sub surface Friday about
600 yai'ds 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 3 V\ miles
from where he said the subma
rine emerged.

Enlarges Staff,
Offers Projects
(Juneau Empire)
Eager to have all replimlnaries
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,
800,000 for matching funds under
the new Alaska Public Works
bill.
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 “re
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 al
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.
Lord Norman, 78
Passes On
LONDON, (/P) — Lord Norman,
longtime governor of the Bank of
England and a powerful man of
mystery in the world of finance,
died in his sleep early Saturday
at his London home. He was 78.
As Montagu Collet Norman—
“The sphinx of Threadneedle
Street”—he headed the powerful
Bank of England from 1920 to
1944.
King George VI made him a
peer on his retirement as a re
ward for his long banking serv
ice.
The Bank of England is Sub
stantially the equivalent to the U.
S. Federal Reserve Bank.
FAIRBANKS, </P)_Troy Mayo
mushed his way along through
ice and fog at four .o’clock Satur
day morning. The weight of the
four foot log on his shoulder was
getting excruciatingly heavy.
So he tossed it to one side of
the walk.
The sound of shattering glass
clattered back at him. He fled.
Late rthe 25-year-old laborer
gave himself up to police, who
said the owners of a jewelry store
took a dim view of the addition
to his windowless gem stock.
Mayo offered in explanation:
“I though it was a vacant lot.”
