RACKET STORY
NOW AT CAPITOL
"Abandoned” is the feature now
at the Capitol Theatre. It is a racket
that is now being exposed. Here is
the short story:
Paula Considine (Gale Storm)
seeks the child born to her older
sister, aided by Mark Sitko (Dennis
O'Keefe), newspaper man trying to
expose the baby adoption racket.
Kerrick (Raymond Burr), private
detective hired to find the older sis
ter, an unwed mother, instead has
delivered her Into the hands of Mrs.
Donner (Marjorie Rambeau), who
specializes in baby profiteering.
Kerrick and Mrs. Donner’s thugs
impede the efforts of Paula and
Mark at every turn, but the missing
sister is found in the coroner's
morgue, a murder victim listed as a
suicide.
The trail leads through the under
world and to the Salvation Army
home for unwed mothers which co
operaters with the District Attorney
(Jeff Chandler) in luring and trap
ping members of the adoption racket
gang, with the result that the child
is found. Employed as the lure is
Dottie (Meg Randall), herself an
expectant mother.
Dissolution of the baby racket
through arrest and newspaper ex
pose is followed by awakening of
love between Paula and Mark.
CONFERENCE
MAY BE HAD
ABOARDSHIP
WASHINGTON, Oct. 12 — (A>) —
Speculation arose in the capital to
day that President Truman’s his
toric meeting with Gen. Douglas
MacArthur this weekend might take
place aboard a ship.
This belief was based largely on
reports that Mr. Truman and Mac
Arthur are headed for Wake Island,
a desolate strip 2,000 miles west of
Hawaii and scene of bitter fighting
early in World War II.
•persons familiar with the island
say it is ill-equipped to accommodate
the 100 or so persons who will be
in the Truman-MacArthur parties.
Only a few quonset huts, they say,
are on Wake.
On the other hand, a ship would
provide not only adequate accom
modations but good communications
as well.
Two noted warships—the 45.000
tons battleship Missouri and the
Mount McKinley—have figured in
this line of speculation as the pos
sible meeting site.
The Mount McKinley served as
the flagship of Vice Adm. James H.
Doyle during recent landings at
Inchon.
The Missouri was regarded as a
likely choice until reports came to
day that it was in action late Wed
nesday night (Eastern Standard
Time), bombarding North Korea
near the Chinese Manchurian
border.
Shortly after the news of the
bombardment arrived.^ word came
from the Pres dent’s official circle
in St. Louis that the "Mighty Mo”
had been definitely ruled out as
the meeting place.
No definite time has been an
nounced for the Truman-Mac
Arthur conference, but the timing
of Mr. Truman’s flight in the Pacific
indicates that it might be late Sat
urday or Sunday.

FOREST RESEARCH
RELEASES SALMON
STREAM FLOW DATA{
_
First year measurements of wat
erflow patterns on four streams in
Kasaan Bay on Prince of Wales Is
land recently released by the For
est Research Center, Juneau, taker
in study of the effect of logging
on salmon spawning streams, show
that the salmon streams are char
acterized by marked fluctuation in
flow and recurring fall floods.
The measurements indicate also
that in this region of heavy rain
fall, watersheds remain almost con
tinually saturated. Because of this,
the watersheds have little extra
storage capacity during the sea
sons of heaviest rainfall, hence fall
floods are normal.
Total rainfall on the watersheds
of streams without sizeable lakes
drains within a few hours after it
falls. The heaviest rainfalls of the
past year were steady prolonged
downpours characteristic of the fall
storms in southeast Alaska. Rain
fall iti southeast Alaska is not of
the cloudburst type and thunder
storms are uncommon.
Flow patterns for three of the
streams without lakes are nearly
identical. The fall rainy season nor
mally produces the most violent
floods at which time movement of
log jams and gravel bars and min
or changing of stream channels is
common.
Water erosion is not serious out
side of the stream beds although
landslides do occur on these forest
ed watersheds when the saturated
thin soil over bed rock slides from
steep slopes. Such slides are seld
om extensive, the most common
being a narrow ribbon from near
the top of a ridge and ending at
the beach or intervening bench.
