Nov/ at Capitol
Samuel Goldwyn’s “Roseanna Mc
Coy ' now at the Capitol, is the
screen’s first attempt to treat seri
ously the dramatic American chap
ter of the 1330’:*. the Hatficld-Mc
Coy feud, without resorting to the
usual hillbilly distortions. Al
though the picture stresses the ro
mantic episode of the Kentucky
West Virginia border, every effort
w as made to present the characters
and their way of life authentically,'
without concession to the per ua ive
demands of “glamour treatment.”
The Goldwyn research organiza
tion pored over innumerable source
books, court records, newspaper ac
counts, faded photos o::-.J sketches
to check every historical fact. The
result is convincing realism pre
sent 3d in the romance cf Roseanna
McCoy and Johnse Hatfield, for
which the tribal warfare is shown
as the background.
Producer Goldwyn’s latest per
conalily find. Joan Evan , play

villi Charles Bickford, Raymond

Hornsby
To Manage
Browns
NE\y YORK, Oct. 8—/ft—Roger..
Iiornsby signed to manage the St.
Louis Browns for three year;, owner
Bill Veeck announced today. No
financial terms were disclosed ex
cept that Hornsby's ' alary will be
til: greatest ever paid a Browns’
manager.
Hornsby came east for the World
Series from Seattle, where he led
the Pacific Coast league entry to a
coast championship the past sea
son. He managed the Browns
briefly during the 30’s and starred
both os a manager and a player
with the Cardinals, St. Louis’ Na
tional League team.
Yeoefc said that Hornsby’s coaches
would be determined mutually later.
Pleven’s coalition force won the
first part of France's local elections
today by collecting 43.2 percent of
the votes, but the Communists got
more than' any single party.
The results indicated that French
voters approved cooperation with
the United States and participation
in the North Atlantic Pact, for the
coalition stands for that kind of
foreign policy.
The Communists got 1,524,443
votes, or 23.8 percent, in the elec
tion for the country’s 80-odd De
partmental (county) councils. The
Reals advocated the Krnniin policy
line. Domestically, they were pro
labcr.
The Socialists, who are bitter
anti-communist.;, trailed the Com
munists with 1,100,780 vote . or 17.2
percent. Gen. De Gaulle’: People's
Parly (RPF), opposed to all the
other parties and dedicated to get
> ng De Gaulle b . k into power,
von 13.4 percent Gf (he vote.
But the predominantly Catholic
MRP, the moderate radical Socia
lists and the rightwing Indepen
dents — the partie; in Pleven’s co
; iition — got 2,760.843 votes, or
43.2 percent. Thus the government
bloc appeared safe from any charge
by the opposition that the voters
1 ad repudiated France’s present
overall foreign policy, including par
ticipation in the Atlantic Pact and
cooperation with ths United States.

ROACHES-RATS-MICE-RATPROOFING
Roach Work Guaranteed Two Years
A Recent Advertisement, of the
Alaska Steamship Company presents
| the silhouettes of the 20 vessels
i the company is operating in the
i t k Ailaska service.
This i about the same number
i vc els the Alaska Line operated
! n years ago, just before Pearl
,! arbor, but there is a vast differ
n r between the present and the
I pre-war fleets.
There is, for one thing, the mnt
t r of tonnage. Today's, Alaska
; team fiefct totals nearly 05.000
; n* . tons compared with some 69,
( )0 tons ten years ago. Today's
j\ .sols are bigger, and nearly all
I of them arc freighters.
Ten years ago almost half the
company's vessels were passenger
hips and the passenger ships ac
counted considerably more than half
; the total tonnage,
j Now the company has only four
! par enger. ships—20 percent of the
total number of vessels and approxi
mately 22 percent of the total ton
j nage.
| This decline in passenger vessels
in the Alaska trade is, of course,
merely’a reflection of the disap
pearance of American pnssengif
ships and passenger ships routes j
around the entire coast of the
United States.
The Standardization that, has,
taken place in American cargo ves
j stIs in recent years is strikingly
j shown in the silhouettes of today’s'
Alaska Line fleet.
This is a trend that started back
during World War I, but even so
lccently ns 10 years ago there re
mained a great deal of individu
ality in the freighters on the Al
aska routes. Today there are a
couple of types of freighters, but
within the types each vessel is as
like the next as two sockeye salmon
in a gillnet.
The smaller and more numerous
, cf these freighters in the Alaska,
trade are the Knot or Coastal type
: vessels which are 323 feet in length
and measure 3,805 tons gross. They
are powered with 1,700 horsepower
diesel engines which do not drive
them overly fast.
Thist diesel power is alsov some
thing of an innovation. Ten years
ago there wasn’t a diesel vessel in
the Alaska Line fleet.
1 The Knot ships were built during
I World War II at shipyards on the
Great Lakes and the Atlantic, Gull
and Pacific coasts.
Most of them were named for var
ious knots, splices, bends and hit
ches—Acorn Knot down through
Yardarm Knot; Hawser Splice
through Span Splice; Anchor Bend
through Tucked Bend, arid Anchor
Hitch through . Timber Hitch.
Another sizeable group of the
same type of vessel got names start
ing with the word coastal—Coastal i
Adventurer through Coastal Viking j
and including Buccaneer, a High
flyer, a Rambler and Ringleader.
The Alaska Line presently oper
ates 10 of the type of vessel, eight |
of them dry cargo ships and two
refrigerated ships.
The Liberty Ship of World War
II is the second type common to;
the Alaska routes and the Alaska '
Line operates four of them. They
are larger than the Knot ships—!
just over 7,000 tons gross with a;
length of 422 feet and powered with :
2,500 horsepower reciprocating steam
engines. !
The Liberties were named for var
ious men—John H. Quick and
George D. Prentice and so forth—
,ut the Alaska Line has renamed
,oth the Knot and Liberty ships it
has purchased. They are given the
names of Alaskan rivers such as
Susitr.a, Nadina and Chena.
Along with the new, standardized
freighters, the Alaska Line still has
two :-timers—Diamond Cement,
a 4 -ion vessel built in Japan j
durii, World War I, and the fam- |
illar .1 famous Victoria, formerly |
a r :er ship and now in her
80th ar.
T1 four remaining vessels In the
fleet, :: passenger ships, also have
indie: polity and character and are
fami: to thousands of Alaskans
and v.aska travelers.
'll !a :a, veteran of the Alaska
steamers now in service,
v.a:: ill for this tni.de. The Aleu
tian, Baranof and Denali all came
here from, routes on the Atlantic
Coasl.
For years and years, ever since
•the A ka routes were opened, the
trade has been supplied by ships
from other routes on either the Pa
cific or (lie Atlantic.
But uoh vessels are no longer
available. World War II finished
off ir of them and none have
since n built because nearly all
of tin • pa: .eiiaei* routes have now
disapo; a red.
The is, in other words, no source
of vo< ■ Is for the Alaska passenger
trade except at the shipyards, and
with present-day costs and the
dwindle demand for passom > r
ve.' ’ vice it appears very doubt
ful that anyone will invest In new |
passer r ships for the Alaska
route.
The four—Alaska, Aleutian, Bnr
anof : d Denali—may be the last
Amrrican-flag passenger ships wc!
will see on the Alaska run. It might j
be well to clip their silhouettes
from the advertisements and pre
serve them as curiosities for the
future.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 8 — <JP! — |
The 'United Stater; Navy, already
•die world's biggest, is building about
189 more ships for the fleet, rang
ing from a huge carrier to radically
new design destroyers and subma
rines.
A survey of available records to- |
day showed,-among other things,
that 13 submarines are being
hi:jlt* now, not counting the experi
mental atomic-powered undersea
bert recently authorized by Con
press. This is the largest subma
rine building program since the
mass production days of World
Wsr II.
There are about 450 combat ships
in the operating fleet now, not in
cluding several hundred amphib
ious, supply and auxiliary craft.
Much of the buildup of the op
erating fleet has come from pulling
la id-up ships from the mothball
fleet, although some of the expan
sion includes new carriers, destroy-1
ers and other major combat craft. |

A! 20th Ceniury
From the eloquent pen of W.
Somerset Maugham, one of the
world's greatest living writers, comes
"Trio,” a brilliant, witty and mov
ing Paramount release which is
r.ow at (he 20th Century Theatre.
A sequel to I he highly successful
“Quartet," Trio” is notably en
hanced by Maugham's collabora
tion on the screenplay, and a su
perb that Includes such note
worthy performers as lovely Jean
Simmons and handsome Michael
Rennie gives force and solidity to
the film.
The first tale, “The Verger,” Is
a delightfully ironic account of a
lowly rhurch attendant who is fired
for illitei icy after twenty years’
faithful service.
"Mr. Iinowall” is a sharply drawn
portrait of a shipboard bore who,
in the course of a long voyage, gets
a chance to prove dramatically that
his unfortunately raffish exterior
hide a deep-seated sense of hu
manity.
“Sanatorium” is a moving love
lory set in a home for tuberoulars.
The principals include beautiful
.lean Simmons as a young consump
tive, and Michael , Rennie as the
is hi] ; army officer with whom she
falls in love.

About Easing
library Books
Owner’s of Juneau’s book-hung
ry dog were not dismayed by the
story in Friday’s Empire, telling of,
the city librarian's report to the
city council which said that two
book - wue discarded because the1
borrower’s dog "ate them.”
In fact, Beatrice and Kenneth i
AlbAtson are rather proud of their'
Jo- ’Boots" and her affinity for j
odds and ends such as library!
30ok ■ It is at Mrs. Albertson’s j
suggestion that Boot’s identity Is j
disclosed.
"They were mystery stories,” Mrs.
Albertson said, “which, by the way,
I had to replace—and Boots just
cats them up."
Boots was brought down from the
apartment at the Baranof Hotel
lu bo Interviewed. She seemed not.
i all ashamed by her book-chewing
propensities.
The dog is well known around Ju
neau. Daily, a group of school child
ren gather in the lobby nt the
hotel to wait for Boots to be ex
creted. Boots is pure white, a Sam*
oyed—the original Husky—the type !
used by Admiral Perry in his Arctic j
explorations.
The daddy of Boots is the famous
Toby, who is usually seen as lead |
dog when sled teams are shown in|
pictures about the north. Her ken-j
nel name is Princess Snowwhite ofi
Kobe.
• The dog is only a year old, and,
Mrs. Albertson says, Is only exercis
ing its prerogative as a pup by
chewing up a few loose articles
i.bout the house.
Mrs. Albertson pointed out that
I lie Sainoyed breed originated in
Russia.
When questioned, Boots said,
Woof!"
Eut It was with a slight Russian
accent.
