Waves Hammer Alaskan Coast
(Bu United Press)
Tidal waves hammered the Alaskan coast today in the second day of oceanic turmoil which devastated some areas of Hawaii, where 300 persons were reported dead or missing.
At San Francisco, the coast guard reported heavy waves were running along the coast line at five-minute intervals in the San Francisco area. The coast guard said the waves were four to five feet high.
The original surge of water, churned up by submarine earthquakes, smashed against the coasts of North and South America, the Hawaiian and other tiny Pacific islands, yesterday. These first waves appeared to be receding.
Tremors shook the Aleutian chain early today and four hours later a tidal wave hit the Dutch Harbor naval base, snapping a ferry cable but causing no other damage.
At least 140 persons were known dead and the damage was expected to run into many millions of dollars. A Hawaiian official said at least 300 persons were dead or missing.
A navy pilot riding high over the Bering sea radioed that he sighted a huge wave, travelling about 35 miles an hour, near the air base at Naknek, Alaska. He said it seemed to be heading for the Kvichak coast on the north side of Alaska.
The tidal waves extended 7,000 miles up and down the Pacific. Dispatches from Chile said nigh waves crushed small boats and destroyed coastal installations.
contain Coast Guard station at Point Arena, 95 miles north of San Francisco, reported long, sweeping swells, described as half tides and half waves, surged up the shoreline at intervals of every few seconds.
Heavy waves were running parallel to the coast at San Francisco but there was no indication that they would hit the shoreline with destructive force.
At Fort Bragg, coastal town 40 miles north of Point Arena, fishermen were placed on the alert for the reported approach of destructively heavy waves.

Tidal Wave Makes Hawaii Look Like Battlefield at Height of War
Students Plan U.N.O. Meeting

All the buildings of the Makai (sea) side have been lifted bodily and dumped against those on the Mauka (mountain) side.

Old landmarks she the Waikea district and streets the airport it is named. Dead goats lie tethered in yards. Stray dogs run aimlessly about mingled with chickens and ducks.
The destruction along Kamehamahe avenue, Hilo's "bund," is indescribable.
The swimming pier and boathouse have been washed away, but the
Hilo today is a stricken city in ever sense of the word.
OURS
The famed Naniloa hotel has suffered considerable damage. The spacious dining room on the ground floor facing the sea is badly wrecked. Several rooms on the same level are badly watersoaked, broken and filled with debris tossed up by the tidal wave.
Hilo, Hawaii. (UP)—The destruction in this once-peaceful resort city reminds me of scenes I saw while touring shelltorn Guam or Okinawa at the height of the war.
Old landmarks are no more.
Guests have been forced to evacuate because the lighting system and other utilities were knocked out by the waves.
hotel is otherwise intact
I drove to the naval air station where thousands of refugees are housed in barracks that once sheltered officers. Pinup pictures are still on the walls in strange contrast to the dazed persons huddled beneath them.
The wall of babies echoes throughout the area.
Patients from the Puumaile tubercular hospital also have been evacuated to the naval air station.
I flew over the devastated windward shore of Maui, including the stricken area of the naval air station below Kahului and also past Hana. From the air it is evident that destruction and damage is heavy at both places.
both places.
We could only distinguish a bare outline where homes and buildings once stood. They looked like footprints in the sand. Debris was scattered for miles like match sticks.
The citizens of Hilo have rallied nobly, but officials told me it will be at least a year, before the town can be restored to normal.
'Quiet and Peace Will Be Found In New Chapel'
Danforth chapel, the 19th building to be donated to the University was formally dedicated at an all-school convocation this morning in Hoch auditorium.
The chapel was accepted on behalf of the state by Gov. Andrew F. Schoepell. Kenneth I. Brown, president of Denison university, gave the dedicatory address.
Guests at the dedication were Mr. William H. Danforth, who made the initial gift for the chapel, members of the Clarence H. Poindexter family who donated the painting "Christ at Gethsemane," and A. B. Weaver, donor of the organ. Music was by the University symphony orchestra, and the A Cappella choir sang "Credo", with Imogen Billings singing a soprano solo. First services were held in the chapel at 9:45 this morning.
"The Ensign said: 'Take good care of life.'" was the theme of Dr. Brown's address, taken from a letter of a former student sent from overseas. "Begin with yourself", Dr. Brown said. Be a creator, not an accepter nor a despoiler.
"We must accept 'One Brotherhood' both emotionally and intellectually," he continued. "War built fences between nations. It is our job to tear them down. We can no longer have a double standard of judging nations, having one standard for our enemies and one for our selves.
"There is handwriting in the sky, written by life itself," he warned. "It says that the days of the colonial empire are gone, that racial intolerance must go, and that economic slavery must be a thing of the past."
Speaking of the chapel, Dr. Brown said that quiet, peace, and privacy can be found there which is nonexistent in the dormitory, and that it would give wisdom, strength, and courage to those who seek respite there.
Results of the ROTC record firing with .22 caliber rifles on the ROTC range were announced today by Capt. John D. Bradley, professor of military science.
Chancellor Malott then accepted the chapel and turned it over to the students. The chapel will always be open and lighted, and the organ will play one hour every evening as a background for meditation and repose, he announced.
