RED SKELTON iN
R OT OF COMEDY,
CAPITOL THEATRE
Let it be said right at the start.
The Yelltw Cab Man” now show
ing at the Capitol Theatre, is thi
funniest Red Skelton comedy in
years.In the role of a zany inventoi
who just can't avoid accidents ant
who gets a job as a Yellow Cat
driver in tb^ hope of demonstrating
his unbreakable elastiglass wind
shield. Skelton does about every
thing possible, human and inhuman
to make an audience laugh.
In one scene he picks up his firs
customer and jams a whole city’
traffic. In others he barely save
himself from electrocution, fror
gaseous explosion and from drown
ing in a bathtub.
He falls down everything fron
flights of stairs, rope ladders, ar
elevated grease rack, a freight ele
vator shaft and through the roof
of a house. In a distortion effect
dream sequence photographed by
Weegee he drives his cab to the
North Pole.
And in one of the wildest se
quences ever filmed he is chased
by a murderous gang through a
Home Exhibit auditorium and a
Solar-Roto House of Tomorrow and
escapes by riding a huge gas balloon
o the top of the building.
By the time the picture has enter
ed its climax, with a whole army
f Ye'low Cabs charging into the
auditorium to rescue Red and his
girl, the spectator is left limp with
aughtcr.

ALASKA FARMS
ON DECREASE
WASHINGTON. May 5 — W —
Alaska’s total number of farms
dropped from 625 in 1939 to 525 in
195U. but their value increased from
$3,841,045 in 1939 to $6,543,970 in
1950. the Census Bureau reported
today.
No reason was given by the bureau
for the decrease. It reported that
the value of all farm products sold
in the Territory in 1949 was $1,571,
931. The average value of each farm
was $12,465 in 1950 or double the
$6,165 valuation of 1939.
MONTGOMERY TALKS
ON REGULATIONS AT
LIONS CLUB MEETING
“When the second man appeared
on earth, the rights of the first
man were cut in half—now divide
your rights by the total population
and that explains everything re
garding regulations." Dr. I. J.
Montgomery told the Lions Club at
a luncheon meeting Monday at
the Baranof Hotel. He is the direc
tor of the Alaska Merit System.
Montgomery outlined many of
the things that came in for regu
lation from rent and price control
to pure food and pollution control.
He said that Alaskans especially
resented regulations, that many of
them had come here to avoid so
many restrictions, but as the coun
try settled up, more and more reg
ulations would be imposed. He also
pointed out the necessity of con
trols and stated, "It seems to be
the price we are paying for our
civilization.”
"Granting that we must have
regulations, and thousands of per
sons to enforce them, it becomes
necessary to have competent, train
ed persons to do it,” he said. "For
persons who can enforce rules
iairly and impartially, the program
necessitates a program similar to
the Merit System to avoid appoint
ments because of pull or favorit
ism.”
It was decided to entertain the
Juneay High Basketball team at
the regular meeting next Monday.
Bill Ray reported on the Fourth
of July committee and called a
meeting of the group for 7:30 p.m.
Wednesday.
Carl Rasher requested assist
ance in getting materials for mak
ing a new slide for the Douglas
bathing beach.
Lloyd Clark of Salem, Ore. was
a guest.
William A. Wood arranged for

SOCIALIST RICK !
PARTY DRAWS BIG
VOTE IN ELECTION
By Associated I’ress
On the international front, Sun
day elections hold the spotlight.
In Germany, a Nazi-like political
group — the Socialist Rich party —
drew almost 400,000 votes in Lower
Saxony elections. This was startling
success for a party so much like the
Nazis the Federal Government is
trying to outlaw it. It is led by for
mer supporters of Adolf Hitler. The
party ranked fourth with the es
tablished Socialists and Christian
Democrats leading the counting.
Austria — Dr. Heinrich Gleiss
ner, 58, a Conservative representing
the Catholic people’s party, and Dr.
Theodore Koerner, 78, Socialist Lord
Mayor of Vienna, will oppose each
other in a runoff election for the
presidency.
Bolivia — Victor Paz Estenssoro,
an exiled leader of Bolivia’s working
classes, held a commanding lead
in the presidential race. He had
campaigned from Buenos Aires with
Communist support. But it appeared
doubtful he would get the majority
needed to elect him outright and
congress may have to pick a winner
from the three top candidates on
August 6.

NAVY PILOTS IN
HURRICANE RIDES
AT 20TH CENTURY
Those intrepid hurricane hunter
of the Navy prove to be as adept
in handling their women as in fly
ing through the rye of a tropical
tempest in "Slattery's Hurricane."
which is at the 20th Century
Theatre.
Richard Widmark and John Rus
sell are the fliers and Linda Darnell
and Veronica Lake are the lovely
ladies in question so their expert
ness is quite understandable.
This is the first time that the
gripping story of the daring pilots
who fly into the very teeth of tropi
cal storms has been filmed by Hol
lywood producers and it certainly j
gives the audience a spine-tingling
thrill. Twentieth Century-Fox took
the cast and production crew to the
Navy’s Aerological station in Miami
Beach to insure accuracy in the
breath-taking scenes which show
the Navy pilots flying through hur
•ricanes.
Eight passengers disembarked
from the Denali Sunday morning
with 20 embarking southbound
Master of the ship is Capt. Carl
Nilsen with A. H. Banwell, chief
