George Barth, 25th Division artil- lery commander, said “they couldn’t § have hit us at a better time,” and added, “we, were really ready for them.” Another officer said “we've got them out in the open now.” The entire might of the U. S. Sev- onth Fleet’s carrier planes was ord- | ered into the battle, to join with | American and Australian land based fighters in support of ground forces. An American plane was shot down by a Russian-made Yak fighter, | the first reported enemy plane in front action for many days. Ameri- can helicopters dropped into battle gones to pick up wounded where they fell. Jral 1 DPR DEPARTMENT IN | OLD MARSHALL PLACE AT SIXTH AND MAIN Draftsmen need space, and there; just wasn’t room in the Bureau 0[} Public Roads quarters in the Fed-| eral Building. i | i 1 Arrangements were made to take over a substantial residence at Sixth and Main, and now the Design De- partment (engineering) is comfort- ably installed in the former Marsh- all place. The last tenants were the K. G. Merritts, who have purchased the forn\er Gold Belt Avenue residence of R. J. Sommers. The BPR department headed by J. B. Reher, design engineer, is spread out through most of the three floors. There will be more than the present twelve staff members when projects are discontinued for the year and other engineers come in from the field. The building is home as well, for one BPR clerk who works there. James Simmons lives on the third floor and also is responsible for building mdintenance and operation utilities. The move was made August 16. Financial Report of Northwest Airline NEW YORK, Sept. 31—»—North- west Airlines, Inc., reported today its net profit for the quarter ended June 30 was $153,241, equal to five cents a common share. Net for the like quarter of 1949 was $1,913,885, or $2.19 a share. The air carrier reported a net loss of $3,458396 for the first half of 1950, against net profit of $430,- 915, or 25 cents a share, in the 1949 first half. President Croil Hunter attribuledl losses early this year to the expense of breaking in new Stratocruisers and to unfavorable weather. North- west is now experiencing a record- | breaking volume of business and revenues. TODA LANDINGS No landings were made today. Landings made too late for pub- lication yesterday were from the Edith, Heury Anderson, 1,700 pounds of salmon and the Puppy, John Wise, 1200 pounds, both for Alaska Coast Fisheries. without delay. The slip form is hooked by means | of screw jacks on the reenforcing steel used in the walls. Five fcell of concrete can be poured in an| eight hour shift, One full turn of the jacks raises the forms one-half an inch. The jacking crew follows after the concrete pouring Crew.; Jacking or moving the five foot| slip form upward coincides with the rate of pouring. The concrete finishers, working on a scaffold suspended from the slip form yoke, have already started | work with the first floor concrete | to be finished at the conclusion of | the job. Concrete is poured in layers of | eight inches with the form raised another eight inches during the pouring. The pouring of the floors | follows right after the slip form has come just above each flor. Pouring of the floors is from the slip form deck at the rate of one floor a week. In other words, it will take a total of 12 weeks to| pour the floors of the 12-storied building with two floors already poured, The roof will be topped off some time in November.
