'Fortunes oi
Captain Blood'
At Capitol Theatre
Wonderful new exploits of Rafael
Sabatini’s fabulous king of pirates,
Captain Blood, have been brought
to the screen by Columbia Pictures
in a lush production sthat churns
with excitement and is aflame with
thrills. Titled "Fortunes of Cap
tain Blood," this picturesque, swash
buckling epic is at the Capitol The
atre tonight.
With Louis Hayward filing the
dashing title role with magnificent
verve, "Fortunes of Captain Blood”
is a full-bodied romance alive with
a thousand thrills. Shots of pirate
ships under full sail, the blood
tingling fury of a boarding party
and rousing swordplay crowd the
screen. Interspersed with the seeth
ing action are some lighter moments
as Hayward indulges in romantic
by-play with luscious Patricia Me
dina and fiery Dona Drake.
“Fortunes of Captain Blood” starts
off its crackling story, which relates
new escapades of Cabatinl’s dash
ing pirate hero with Hayward, the
terror of the Spanish Main, sworn
to liberate members of his crew who
have been made slaves in the pearl
fisheries. Disguising himself as a
fruit peddler, Hayward, despite a
price on his head, roams through
hostile territory — fighting, lootipg,
loving — as he conspires to free his
men.

Premier De Gasperi
Wins Vote of Faith
in Stormy Session
ROME, Aug. 9.—UPI—Premier Al
cide De Gasperi won a 291 to 175
vote of confidence today for his
government in the Chamber of
Deputies after a stormy session in
which he denounced both Commun
ists and Fascists. His fiery speech
touched off a brief fist fight be
tween Communists and Christian
Democrats.
A brief but stormy battle of fists
broke out after the Premier com
pleted his address asking confidence
in the seventh government he has
headed since the war's end. Com
munist Fausto Gullo, apparently
stung by the Christian Democratic
Premier’s remarks, rose and accus
ed him of having "broken the moral
unity of the Italian people in the
moment of their liberation."
De Gasperi, ill his speech, vow
ed to defend Italy from both Fas
cism and Communism.
Reno Divorce Will
Free Sinatra fo
Marry Ava
RENO, Nev., Aug. 9, — OP) —
Crooner Frank Sinatra announced
today he will divorce his wife
Nancy so he can marry movie
siren Ava Gardner.
The entertainer talked affably
with newsmen in his suite at the
Riverside Hotel, where he opens j
a $25,000 two-week singing en- i
gagement tonight.
“I'm going to file for divorce
while I’m here,” said Sinatra.
“Nancy didn’t want to come up
here for the divorce, but she has
no objection to my filing for it."
He said money matters and cus
tody of their three children were
settled in their separation agree
ment some time ago. Under terms
of that agreement, Mrs. Sinatra
gets one third of his income.
Asked if he would marry Miss
Garner—with whom he has been
romancing in the U. S., Spain and j
Mexico—Sinatra grinned and said:
“I would assume so.”

hours a day utilization. Plane utili
zation was maintained at 12 hours

'Under My Skin/
Hemingway Yarn,
At 20th Century
The sixth movie based on the pen
of Ernest Hemingway is "Under My
Skin." which is the next attraction
at the 20th Century Theatre. Based
on an early short story called “My
Old Man,”t it follows such great
Hemingway successes as "A Farewell
to Arms," “To Have and Have (
Not,” "For Whom the Bell Tolls,"
"The Macomber Affair," and “The
Killers."
A thrilling story of horse racing
and the lives and loves of those who,
work behind its scenes, it stars John
Garfield and Micheline Prelie in
the leading roles.
Hemingway's life itself is a thril
ling story. Not only a writer, he is
the owner of a fabulous career that
includes boxing, lion hunting in Af
rica and considerable fighting in
two world wars.

The figures 66 seem to add up
to bad luck for fishermen’s licen
sing laws.
It was Chapter 66 of the 1949
Alaska Laws that was successfully
attacked recently in the Circuit
Court. The Court declared invalid
the $50 nonresident license fee
provided by Chapter 66.
And down in Seattle not so long
ago a Justice of the Peace found
Section 66 of a Washington State
fishermen’s licensing law uncon
stitutional.
Justice Evangeline Starr, basing j
her decision on a Superior Court I
ruling, held that Section 66 of the |
Washington law, requiring each |
commercial fisherman to purchase i
a personal fishing license from the
states, at a cost of $5, was unrea
sonable and unconstitutional inso
far as it applied to fish not com
mon to State of Washington wa
ters and caught outside the three
mile limit.
Defendant in the case was Gun
der Hanson, who had landed a
load of Alaska-caught halibut in
Seattle without buying the per
sonal fishing license.
Leo Richter, the deputy prose- ,
cutor, said he would not appeal i
the decision.
Speaking of numbers: The Al- |
aska Statehood bill in the 81st |
Congress was H. R. 331. And the ]
resolution authorizing an invest- j
igation of the Palmer Airport ac- |
quisition, also in the 81st Con- I
gress, was S. R. 331.
If Alaska miners nave a little
trouble thees days keeping track
of government policies regarding
mining and miners, the fact is not |
at all surprising and they are no
worse off than miners elsewhere
in the country.
People in every line of business 1
nowadays encounter a multitude
of government bureaus and agen
cies, but a special assortment of
them has been set up to advise,
assist—and confuse—the miner.
Today’s miner, especially if his
product is considered strategic or
critical, may find himself invol
ved in one way or another with
one, several or even all of the
following Federal agencies:
Metallurgical Advisory Board
National Security Resources
Board
Materials Policy Commission
Defense Production Administra
tion
National Minerals Advisory
Council
Defense Minerals Administra
tion
United States Bureau of Mines
United States Geological Sur
vey
National Production Authority
Emergency Procurement Service
Atomic Energy Commission
Research and Development Board
....The Flamingo Room of the New
Washington Hotel, Seattle, will be
the scene of the opening of bids
for the construction of aircraft
parking apron at Eilson Air Force
Base, according to a press an
nouncement.
The Flamingo Room seems an
entirely appropriate place for op
ening any bids in connection with
aviation, and the idea could well
be carried further.
Bids for harbor dredging or
dock construction might be open
ed in the Marine Room at the Ol
ympic and the Roughrider Room
at the Roosevelt' could handle the
opening of bids for future work
on the Alaska Railroad.
Bids for pushing new roads
through the wilderness might be
taken care of In the Pilgrim Room
at the Frye, and it would perhaps
not be inapp: opriate to open the
bids for drilling oil wells in Al
aska in the Cloud Room at the
Camlin or even in the Bubble
Room at the Baranof in Juneau.
What can Congress do for Alas
ka?
At least five United States Sen
ators—the men who affixed their
“John Henrys’’ to the minority
report on the pending statehood
bill—have a frank, definite an
swer to that question.
They say:
. . the Congress can best aid
Alaska by understanding thorough
inquiry into the many economic
problems and restrictive policies
now hampering the Territory, and
by adopting corrective measures
based on logic and reason.
“This would be a departure frcm
the emotional and highly colored
approach to this matter which
has marked all the previous at
tempts to force the bill through
Congress.
"It would also be an act of
simple Justice and common sense
toward those United States citi
zens who are the most concerned;
namely, the Alaskans themselves.'’
