MacMURRAY AND
CLAIRE TREVOR
' CAPITOL STARS
'Borderline,” a Universal-Inter
national release which has its last
showing at the Capitol Theatre to
night, co-stars Fred MacMurray
and Claire Trevor and combine
suspense and comedy in proportions
■hat tax an audience’s capacity for
thrills and laughs.
In his role of Narcotics Bureau
investigator Fred MacMurray gives
the best heel-type performance
since the same star played the kill
happy meanie in “Double Indem
nity'."
Claire Trevor as the police
woman who falls in love with Mac
Murray shows with her fine per
formance why she was a 1948 win
ner of an Academy Oscar for her
work in “Key Largo.” She also
proved her versatility, inasmuch as
she handled a comedy assignment
in “Borderline" in contrast to the
heavy dramatic type of part she
had in her Award-winning film.
William A. Seiter’s direction is
responsible in great part for the
pace of "Borderline” and the ex
citing transitions from suspense to
laughter and back again stamps the
picture as out of the ordinary in
entertainment quality.

BUREAU REQUESTED TO
PUSH SWAN LAKE DEAL
The Ketchikan City Council has
requested that the Bureau of Rec
lamation push the Swan Lake hy
droelectric project near there, it
was learned at Reclamation head
quarters here today.
A report on the proposed project
with recommendations has been
forwarded to Washington, D. C.
for appropriate action. The devel
opment involving $10,500,000 will
require three years to construct
after authority is given by Con
gress and if it goes through will
be the first major project of its
kind for Southeast Alaska.
Contemplated construction calls
for 184-foot concrete arch dam in
the outflow of Swan Lake to raise
the lake surface 100 additional feet
creating a 132,000-acre-feet reser
• voir which would supply energy to
(develop 18,000 horsepower. A 31
mile 69,000 volt transmission line
would carry the energy to Ketchi
kan and surrounding area.

BOARD EDUCAiON
AUTHORIZES ANS
SCHOOLS TRANSFER
The Commissioner of Education
was authorized to negotiate with
the Indian Service for the selection
and transfer of five schools to be
transferred from the Alaska Native
Service to the Territory under
Johnson-O'Malley contracts by the
Territorial Board of Education,
which closed a 10-day session last
Saturday in Juneau.
A discussion of the problem of
consolidation of schools in Alaska
was held by the Board with Alaska
Native Service officials Hugh J.
Wade, Area Director, Max W. Pen
rod, Mt. Edgecumbs school principal,
and Martin B. Holm, education
specialist. Wade said that he had
been authorized by the Commission
er of Indian’Affairs to propose a
gradual transfer of ANS schools to
the Territory, beginning with 10 to
15 schools the first year, and a cer
tain per cent the succeeding years
until all had been transferred.
Physical Examinations
Among the large number of ac
tions during the last week of its
meeting the Board directed an
amendment to Section 10SLA 1949
be prepared to require a physical
examination of each school child at
least once each year and to au
thorize the expenditure from Terri
torial funds for each examination
not to exceed $100.
Proposed changes were accepted'
for presentation to the Legislature,
designed to simplify and clarify
the method of making refunds for
both the Territorial Office of Edu
cation and local school boards. Ac
tion was also approved on a pro
posal which would enfpower the
Territorial Board of Education to
discontinue the maintenance and
operation of any rural school when
in the discretion and judgment of
the Board the school was large
enough and the community able to
partially support its own school un
der the refund system.
After discussion as to what would
happen if a municipality of the
first or second class were organized
within the boundaries of an Incor
porated School District, it was the
unanimous opinion of the Boai;d
that such a district should immed
iately and automatically become an
Independent School District and
the Board recommended that a suit
able bill for such provision be pre
pared and presented to the Legis
lature.
The probability of two or more
municipalities being organized
within the boundaries of an Inde
pendent School District was directed
to be called to the attention of the
Committees of Education in the
House and the Senate and that
recommendations be made that the
school laws be amended to elimi
nate any confusion should $uch a
situation arise.
Alaskan Textbook
The Board passed a motion that
it request the Legislature for au
thority to spend from the regular j
school appropriations not to exceed |
$20,000 for the purchase and publi- j
cation of a textbook on Alaska |
History.
This action was taken after hear
ing a progress report by Miss Eliza
beth Winn of Juneau, author of the
textbook for the eleventh and ]
twelfth grade classes. Miss Winn
told the Board that the book, which
has required about 17 months of ip
tensive work, would be completed
about June 1 of thus year. The il
lustrators will include about 30 full
page cuts and 20 smaller ones, she
said. It is estimated that the total
cost of the project will approximate
$15,000, most of which can be recov
ered it was said, by sale of the book.
Miss Merian Cass, formerly of Jun
eau and now of New York City, is
illustrating the book.
Miss Winn has had an informal
agreement with the Commissioner
of Education that if the manuscript
when completed was satisfactory to
the Board and the Territorial Text
book Commission, recommendation
would be made to pay the author
and illustrator for the work and to
have the book published.
Increase Boards
Recommendations on legislation
pertaining to territorial schools
passed by the Board included a bill
providing for five year terms for
school board members in Incor
porated School Districts, in place
of the present two year term; a
bill which provides for five mem
ber boards in municipal school dis
trict. School boards in city dis
tricts now have three board mem
bers.
To be recommended to the Legis
lature will be the enlarging of the
COMEDY-DRAMA
OF GENTLEMAN I
CROOK AT 20TH
A sure-fire hit, with the late Wal
lace Beery playing the leading role,
“Alias A Gentleman," starts a two
day showing at the 20th Century
Theatre tonight.
There is a good rest supporting
Beery in this rough and ready com
edy-drama about a bank robber
turned gentleman.
Tom Di.i».e and Dorothy Patrick
provide the romance in the picture
and top roles are played by Glady
George and Leon Ames.
His role, that of an ex-convic
with a fortune, gives this famou.
comedian one of the best parts ol
his long career.
"Alias A Gentleman," will be the
feature at the 20th Century tonlga
and Wednesday.
It is an MGM feature directed bj
Harry Beaumont.
Textbook Commission to five mem
bers.
The Board recommended that tin
Legislature pay the Alaska Coach -
ways at Fairbanks 75 per cent oi
the daily rate for the 22 days lost
when the school at Fairbanks wa'
closed because of an epidemic, and
to allow a claim by C. E. Boyer for
reimbursement for interest paid
when Territorial funds due hin
were delinquent.
Tobacco Tax Fund
The Board amended the regula
tion pertaining to the distribution
of the Tobacco Tax Fund to permit
semi-annual distribution on July 1
and January 1. The basic allotment
to each school under the formuli
to be $3,000 per year or $1,500 or
each semi-annual allotment.
William L. Paul met with thf
Board to urge that it do all in it
power to provide schooling for sev
eral thousand of Native Alaskf
children who are now without edu
cational facilities.
Lester Marx, special assistant tf
the Director of Territories, Alaske
Public Works, Donald Wilson, new
ly appointed District Director and
George W. Rogers, chief finance ex
aminer, discussed with the Board
the Alaska Public Works program
in its connection with school con
struction. The extent of the Public
Works program in the next two or
three years would depend entirely
upon congressional appropriations,
Marx told the Board.
No Action
The Board decided no recom- i
mendation should be made to the
Legislature on the plan presented by
E. Glen Wilder, Director of the
Alaska Housing Authority in regard
to tax payments for a school in
the proposed housing unit in West
Juneau.
No change was made by the Board
as recommended by school adminis
trators that would allow for only
one credit in the field of physics,
chemistry or biology for high school
graduates.
A schedule was adopted tor tne
guidance of the Commissioner of
Education in approving the number
of teachers for individual schools
but without any feature of compul
sion should it seem wise to deviate.
The Board agreed that definite
working hours for teachers could
not be determined on the Terri
torial level and that decision in such
matters should be left to the local
boards.
Dr. Francis J. Phillips of the Sew
ard Sanatorium recommended that
at least one additional teacher be
employed on the present one teacher
staff at the sanatorium.
