Mr. STENHOUSE. Yes. Then I went back to China in the fall of 1939, just after war was declared, and I was in Tientsin until the end of--well, the end of 1940. During 1940 I was sent up on a mission by my company to Chungking and to Hong Kong. That lasted about 3 or 4 months, I think. Mr. TAVENNER. After your arrival in this country how did you become employed and where? Mr. STENHOUSE. Well, before I left China I had made arrangements with a firm in Peiping to import and sell Chinese antiques. And he gave me the name of a man in Los Angeles with whom he had done business, and suggested that I call on him because he was in somewhat similar business. And when I got to Los Angeles I called on this gentleman and made arrangements to work out of his establishment. Later on--I can’t remember the date--I went into partnership with him under the style of Alkow & Stenhouse, and we conducted an importing business of Chinese antiques and sort of handicraft items, and had a retail outlet on Wilshire Boulevard. Mr. TAVENNER. How long were you so engaged in business in Los Angeles? Mr. STENHOUSE. Until Pearl Harbor. And I decided then that---- Mr. TAVENNER. From what date until Pearl Harbor? Mr. STENHOUSE. Well, as soon as I got to Los Angeles, sir. Mr. TAVENNER. That date was what? Mr. STENHOUSE. I don’t remember the exact date, but it was sometime in January of 1941. Mr. TAVENNER. That is sufficient. Will you proceed, please. You continued in that business until Pearl Harbor. How were you employed after Pearl Harbor? Mr. STENHOUSE. Well, when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor the war was on. And, for one thing, I wanted to participate in the war. So I took a drafting course and then got a job with Shell Chemical in Dominguez, I think it was until the end of--I was there for 3 or 4 months, I think it was. I don’t remember the exact date now. Mr. VELDE. What was the name of the company? Mr. STENHOUSE. Shell Chemical. Mr. VELDE. Is that also known as Shell Development Co.? Mr. STENHOUSE. I don’t know. It may be a subsidiary. It was connected with the Shell Oil Co. Then I got a job with Fruehauf Trailer Co., which was nearer home. And I was there until, I think, about June of 1943. Mr. TAVENNER. Will you proceed a little more rapidly? What was your next employment? Mr. STENHOUSE. Then I went to Bendix Aviation in North Hollywood. The reason for the change was, or one of the reasons for the change was, it was much nearer home, and gasoline was a problem. Time and transportation time were problems. And I was at Bendix until about March 1945, when I had a hernia operation and was told to get out of that sort of work.
