Seattle Business
Man Flatly Denies
He's Communist
SEATTLE, Sept. 15 jPV- Low.
ell Wakefield, Seattle business
man, branded as an "irrespons
ible statement" today testimony
before a Senate committee that
he is a Communist.
Howard Rushmore. a New
York reporter, was quoted as tel
ling the committee at a Washing
ton, D. C, hearing he knew
Wakefield to be a Communist and
an operator of a fishing fleet off
Alaska.
Wakefield told the Associated
Press he once was a Commu
nist, but "got out 12 years ago.
At that time I was running a lit
tle paper here in Seattle." He
said he last saw Rushmore in 1936
or 1937.
"On this subject." Wakefield
said, "Rushmore is completely
and unfortunately misinformed."
Wakefield is president of the
Deep Sea Trawlers. Inc.. which
he said is owned by 120 people in
Seattle financial circles.
Rather than operating a fish
ing fleet, he said, it has only
one boat, a 14(Moot steel trawler

On Scenery And Lamb
To Draw U.S. Dollars
By ERIC BENTON
WELLINGTON. New Zealand
(JP This country is going to
try to sell scenery and lamb to
Americans to help meet the dol
lar crisis.
New Zealand finds It difficult
to prune her dollar spending by
25 per cent along with other Bri
tish commonwealth countries.
The reason Is that dollar spend
ing already is down almost to the
bare bones.
Two years ago New Zealand
cut Imports of American news
print, motor cars and olher con
sumer goods. Not one new 1 1 -cense
to import American auto
mobiles has been issued this
year.
Cut Dollar Spending
New Zealand will cut dollar
spending still more. She likely
will stop importing timber from
the east coast of America, cut
down on other imports. She will
seek more newsprint, farm trac
tors, and Industrial machinery
trom sterling countries.
At the same time New Zealand
hopes to build up her dollar earn
ings. New Zealand's trout streams,

bpruce Up Ideas
All stale-owned hotels and tou
rists houses have been told to
spruce up their Ideas of service.
They also have been granted li
quor licenses. Even New Zea
landers say there are not enough
drinking places In th. country.
New Zealand Is a great pri
mary producing country. She
hopes some of Tier products will
win more U. S. dollars.
Almost all her surplus meat,
butler and cheese goes to Brit
ain. The flag-loving New Z.a
landers want thia to go on.
But New Zealand government
men, worried by the dollar prob
lem, think some lamb can b.
sent to the United States without
much loss to Britain. The quan
tity being talked of Is two ship
ments in a year something over
iiMHs) tons.
Butter Is Earner
Butter la another potential dol.
lar earner, but men close to the
government see a political snag
here. New Zealanders are ration
ed to eight ounces a week. They
will stand this rationing only aa
long as all the surplus goes to
Britain.
If the government decides to
send butter to U. S. and retains I
the ration, the labor party will
lose a lot of votes In this year's
general election.
New Zealand also Is trying to i
plug a dollar leak In the resale of
New Zealand wool to the United
States by continental buyers. All I
are required to sign a declar-l
ation of the ultimate destination 1
