VERSATILE STARS
NOW APPEARING IN
CAPITOL FEATURE
Two of filmdom’s most versatile
men play together in Republic's
new comedy-drama, “The Inside
Story.” which stars Marsha Hunt,
William Lundigan. Charles Winni
ger and Gail Patrick, playing to
night only at the Capitol Theatre.
Portraying an innkeeper and his
clerk in the delightful movie are
long-time friends Gene Lockhart
and Winninger, living personifica
tions of Shakespear's “One man
in his time plays many parts." The
pair are typical of stage stars turned
movie actors.
Winninger has had a long, varied
career which ranged from playing
trap drums to producing, directing
and starring in Broadway hits. Back
in 1911, he coached young Will Rog
ers for a stage debut which started
the humorist on the road to fame
and fortune. To keep busy between
films, Winninger began painting
as a hobby and became so good that
his friends beg for his canvasses.
Lockhart, similarly, wrote and di
rected countless Broadway shows be
fore taking up radio writing. He
wrote over 200 sketches and the lyr
ics for “The World Is Waiting for
The Sunshine,” before going to
Hollywood in 1934. He still writes,
composes and coaches his newly
famous daughter, June, a recent star
on the Great White Way,

decided to comply with this order
and returned to the west coast.
Upon his arrival on August 16. he
was arrested and jailed on a tech
nical charge of contempt, for fall
ing to respond to the second sub
poena.
A stocky, dark-haired man in his
early forties, Weisband is a Rus
sian-born, naturalized American.
Before the war he was a hotel
clerk in Los Angeles. In 1942 he
entered the Army and was later
commissioned a lieutenant.
(Note: Welsband’s pretty, raven
haired wife, a North Carolina girl
whom he married 18 months ago,
was also fired from the same gov
ernment agency. However, the
FBI does not suspect her of being
mixed up in any spying.
Voteless Americans
The world looks upon Washing
ton as the heart and hope of Dem
ocracy, yet here are some unbe
lievable facts about the U. 9. cap
ital: Only two capital cities out
side the iron curtain do not per
mit their citizens to vote—Wash
ington D. C. and Canberra, Aus
tralia . . . Our American forefathers
fought the revolution because they
were forced to pay taxes without
representation. Vet, today, D. C.
residents pay more Federal taxes
than those in 25 of the 48 states,
still get no voice in how those
taxes are spent . . . Congress has
granted suffrage to the natives of
Guam, but still denies it to the
qitizens of the national capital . . .
Because American citizens living in
Washington have no vote, Congress
must take time out to decide petty,
municipal problems. Last year
Congress spent more than 3,000
hours on local district matters . . .
For example, it took acts of Con
gress to govern the sale of rock fish,
to determine whether butter should
be served at ,St. Elizabeth’s Hos
pital, and to decide what to do
about a herd of goats in the Dis
trict of Columbia . . . Once Con
gress had to interrupt the debate
on the Marshall Plan to give D. C.
officials the right to tear down a
pair of old gateposts ... A Gallup
poll shows that the public over
whelmingly favors giving their fel
low Americans in Washington the
right to vote. Both the Repub
lican and Democratic parties have
pledged home rule for the people
I of Washington. Vet Congress has
ignored all this and pigeonholed
J the "home rule" bill.
Bean’s Dopesheet
Washington’s noted political
dopester, Louis H. Bean, has given
intimates some private postscripts
to his new book on elections, "The
Midterm Battle.”
Though forecasting defeat for the
big guns in the Senate, Bean ad
mits a number of “fuzzy factors”
make a prediction on the coming
elections difficult.
“One is Korea,” says Bean. “If
the war draws public attention
away from politics, it might re
duce the turnout of voters, which
would hurt the Democrats in the
big industrial centers.”
This happened in 1942 when
many people failed to vote, because
they were moving around and
couldn't register, or had good jobs
and Just weren’t interested in mid
term congressional elections.
This, plus a possible "protest”
vote by those who blame t&e ad
ministration for higher living costs,
won’t help the Democrats. On the
other hand, Bean foresees the likli
hood of a possible downward trend
in Isolationism this November,
which would help Democratic can
didates.
“The fact that we are at war
probably will undercut the isol
ationist issue and prove beneficial
to some midwest Democrats who
looked like sure losers before the
Korean invasion,” the political seer
observes.

James F Pinckney, political science
professor at North Carolina's Dav
idson College, almost was named
chairman of the Civil Aeronautics
Board.
Truman was all set to appoint
Pinckney, but changed his mind |
when he learned that the college
professor had backed corporation
lawyer Willis Smith against Sen.
Frank Graham in the recent North I
Carolina primary.
However, the President received I
no -protest from Graham. In fact,
when friends urged Graham to ob
ject to Pinckney's appointment, the
Christianly Carolinian replied:
"I bear no grudges because I lost
the election. Anybody has a right
to oppose me, or vote against me.
under our free, Democratic system."
Graham's campaign managers,
however, took a different view.
Without his knowledge, they lodged
a vigorous protest with the Demo
cratic national committee. Word
was passed on to Truman, who
dropped the college man like a hot
rivet.
Note: Graham’s fair-dealing in
the battle against Smith sometimes
left campaign workers goggle-eyed.
When Graham saw one of his own
campaign posters in a mill town,
warning that mill workers' wages
might drop to 10 cents an hour if
Smith was elected, he promptly
tore it down.
“That's untrue and unfair,” Gra
ham explained. "Everybody knows
that mill workers will never go
back to 10 cents an hour In these
times."
Joe Fessio and
John White Make
Visit Here for PAA
J. D. Fessio and John W. White
of the San Francisco Pan American
World Airways office, arrived in

an Inspection trip throughout the
Territory.
Fessio, sales manager of the Pac
ific-Alaska Division, is making a
first hand survey of the results of
the new low-fare rates, checking
service, Is looking into how Pan
American can bring more tourist
dollars to Alaska, and to see what
can be done about softening the
travel peaks.
“Our current advertising policy is
to stress Alaska,” Fessio stated.
"We had Ace Williams, our chief
photographer, cover Alaska for two
months with all types of cameras
so we will have pictures for a full
scale promotion program.”
Fessio expressed a keen Interest
in the development of an Alaska
Tourist Association, similar to the
j one that has done so much for
Hawaiian tourist travel. j
Speaking of military airlift to the
Orient, of which Pan American Is
a part, Fessio stated that there
were over 100 four-engine aircraft
in the air at all times, on the mid
Pacifip and Aleutian Chain routes.
He will leave the end of this week
for Whitehorse, Fairbanks, Nome
and Kotzebue. At Kotzebue he will
look into possibilities for expanded
Arctic Circle flights.
