PARTICIPATION IN
ELECTORAL COLLEGE
Under the terms of a resolution ]
introduced by Senator Case of
South Dakota on February 8, Al
aska. Hawaii and the District of
Columbia each would be entitled to
appoint “in such maryier as the
Congress may provide by law'” one
elector to the electoral college in
the choice of the President and
Vice President of the United States.
The provision is proposed as an
amendment to the Constitution
and if.adopted by Congress would
not be valid unless ratified by the
legislatures of three-fourths of the
48 States.
Senator Case, who voted for the
Alaska and Hawaii statehood bills
as a member of the House last year,
stated in part in presenting the
resolution to the upper house: “It
has occurred to me that granting
die territories and the District of
Columbia an opportunity to vote
for President with representation
in the electoral college might com
mand the support of many mem
bers of Congress who oppose state
hood. I believe these citizens of
the United States should have a
1 right to representation in the Con
gress and in the election of the
President and Vice President. We
draft their sons and we tax their
incomes.”

"BORDERLINE" IS
OPENING SUNDAY,
CAPITOL THEATRE
"Borderdine,” opening Sunday at
the Capitol Theatre for a three
day run, brings together for the
first' time two of Hollywood's lead
ing stars in Fred MacMurray and
Claire Trevor.
Miss Trevor and MacMurray
are catapulted into a series of
high-voltage adventures, fast and
funny as well as tense and blood
tingling in the new film which
features Raymond Burr, Jose Tor- •
vey and Morris Ankrum.
For MacMurray ‘'Borderline"
marks a fifieth appearance in
front of the camera as a star. A
one-time Hollywood extra who |
lost his first film opportunity
when he was too shy to speak a
line of dialogue given him, Mac
Murray has since shed that pro-1
fe sional reticence. Long experi
ence with the California Colleg
ians, a popular musical outfit of
its dav, on the road and on Broad
way did the trick.
In "Btyderline,” MacMurray
plays his first heel role since his
mnmorable performance in "Double
Indemnity,” which made him an
Academy nominee in 1944.
Victim of his ruthlessness is
Miss Tievor who takes a clip on
the jaw, a fake wedding ring, un- I
kind words, surly looks and gen
eral all-round uif-gentlemanly
behavior as a price of acquain
tanceship. Eventually, though,,
Fred is softened by that thing
called love.
Miss Trevor is seen as Made
leine Haley,, working for the Los
Angeles Police Department in as
sociation with the Narcotics En
forcement Bureau.
Prisoners of Reds
Tell of Capture on
Relurn, Switzerland
IMMENSEE, Switzerland — M*l —
Three Swiss Roman Catholic mis
sionaries have returned to Switz
erland after three years In a Chin
ese Communist prison in Manchuria
for alleged collaboration with the
Japanese. The three priests, Fa
thers Friedrich Hort, Johann Im
esch and Franz Senn, reported on
their experiences in guarded lang
uage, evidently fearful of harming
eight other Swiss priests still im
prisoned under sentences ranging
from five to 12 years.
“We suffered greatly from the
unclean habits of the other pris
oners," Father Hort said. "There
was an unimaginable plague of in
sects, vermin and nearly all the
priests caught typhus — some of
them two or three times. We were
not ill-treated by the authorities,”
Father Hort said, "but we suffered
from the malice of the other pris
oners.”
A system of public confession
was introduced at the prison, at.
I which every prisoner had to con
I less his crimes and errors and
j demonstrate that he was turning
I towards Communism.
“Under this system, the other
prisoners would make false accu
sations against us, in order to
enlist the sympathy of the prison
authorities,” Father Hort said.

Italian Movie Star
On Soviet Pilgrimage
ROME — (#1 — Lamberto Maggior
ani, a modest Italian machinist
who won film fame as the star
of the prize-winning movie, “The
Bicycle Thief,” has gone to Mos
cow as a member of an Italo-USSR
cultural pilgrimage, “L’Unita,” the
Communist newspaper says.
Hard times followed fame for
Maggiorani and last January his
plight reached newspaper front
pages. The Cooperative for Am
erican Remittances to Europe
(CAREi reported that he was pen
niless, unemployed and unable to
buy a birthday present for his 12
year-old son, Enrico. CARE pro
vided a birthday dinner with a
package which had arrived from
New York. Later it was reported
Maggiorani had obtained a job.
The “Unita” announcement said
Maggiorani was a member of a
delegation of 20 persons making
the trip sponsored by the organi
zation for cultural exchange be
tween Italy and Russia.
MUSEUM GETS SILVER
COMMEMORATION PIECE
TORONTO—Itf)—A tray fashioned
from a silverplate that once be
longed to Maj. Gen. James Wolfe,
,who captured Canada from the
French in 1759, has been presenteo
to the Royal Ontario Museum. It
was commissioned in 1836 by Gen.
Wolfe's nephew, who had inherited
part of the general’s silver. Since
some of the pieces were in need
of repair and others were not in
use at the time, the nephew de
cided to have theih all melted and
made into a single piece that
would commemorate the general’s
victory on the Plains of Abraham.
"FLAMINGO ROAD"
OPENING TONIGHT
AT 20TH CENTURY
With the same talented quar-1
tet that gave Joan Crawford her
first Academy Award three years
ago, Warner Bros., produced "Fla
mingo Road," a dynamic romantic'
drama about small-state politics,
which comes to the 20th Century
Theatre tonight for a three day
run.
Stars Joan Crawford and Zach
ary Scott, Producer Jerry Wald
and Director Michael Curtiz are
the four who made the now mem
orable "Milaxed P;<(» (',” one ofj
the most popular pictures that*
year.
Taken from the play by Robert
and Sally Wilder, “Flamingo Road"
tells about a beautiful carnival
dancer w ho stays behind in a small
southern town, falls in love, and
makes her rise to prestige and
riches through a story beset with
murder, romance and political in
trigue.
Director Curtiz describes his story
as one of “the best in recent years”
with which to work, and with Miss
Crawford in the lead role, Zach
ary Scott as a small politico, Syd
ney Grecnstreet as a menacing
power politician, the famed direc
tor had the tools to fashion a first
rate screen drama.
The supporting cast is unusually
strong with Gladys George, Alice
White, Gertrude Michael, and new
comer David Brian.
REVIVAL BUTTER
CLAM INDUSTRY
BYR NG SEEN
Revival of Alaska’s butter clam
canning industry is expected to re
sult from a new Food and Drug
Administration interpretation rai
sing the tolerance limit on the
amount of toxicity which will be
permitted in the clam pack, the
Alaska Development Board announ
ces.
The development results from a
scientific study which the Alaska
Fishery Products Laboratory at
Ketchikan has been conducting
over several years and from repre
sentations made to the Food and
Drug Administration by the Alas
ka Development Board.
Out of Business
Processing of Alaska butter clams
ceased about five years ago when
the Food and Drug Administration
seized several shipments of clams
on the grounds that the product
was toxic. Studies by the Labora
tory have indicated that if the
siphons of the clams are removed
and other safeguards taken, the
resulting pack will be safe and
wholesome.
Alaskans have always contended
that there was no danger involved
in consuming butter clams, the De
velopment Board says, but the Food
and Drug Administration was com
pelled under the Federal Food,
Drug and Cosmetic Act to initiate
regulatory action against their
shipment.
In announcing the new clearance,
George Sundborg, Development
Board consultant, paid high tribute
to the scientific work done by the
Fishery Products Laboratory. This
consisted of sampling numerous
Alaska clam beds under varying
conditions, testing toxicity of the
clams and experimenting with
processing methods.
Winter Employment
The industry is of special signifi
cance in Alaska because it supplies
employment to diggers and cannery
workers in the winter season when
other employment is scarce.
Interested packers may write to
the Alaska Development Board for
full information on the new inter
pretation by the Food and Drug
Administration.

WHITE HORSE IS
RED TAPMNSIGNIA
VIENNA—IjW—When a local pub
lisher asked permission of the sev
en Austrian provinces to use their
coats of arms on a commercial
catalogue, six of them agreed. The
province of Styria, however, refused.
The Styrian coat of arms is a
white lion on a green background.
The publisher then wrote the
Styrian governor. Instead of the
white lion, he said, he would use
a white horse—the symbol of offi
cial red tape in Austria. The gov
ernor immediately brought charges
against him of •inciting to rebel
lion.”
The charges were dismissed by a
Viennese court, and the catalogue
will appear with a white horse
where a white lion ought to be.
The editor thinks he may stick a
pencil behind the horse's left ear.
