CAPITOL THEATRE
IS NOW SHOWING
ROMANTIC DRAMA
Charm and distinction feature
"Enchantment,” Samuel Goldwyn's
newest screen masterpiece for RKO
Radio release, which came to the
Capitol Theatre yesterday.
David Niven, Teresa Wright,
Evelyn Keyes, and Farley Granger
have the stellar roles in this de
lightfully-told tale of two love af
fairs that take place half a century
apart, but both in the same setting
—a stately and gracious old London
home.
A young British subaltern and
his father's pretty ward are the
principals in the earlier romance,
which never culminates because of
family jealousy. But by the time the
young officer has become a retired
and embittered General, he finds
himself an interested spectator of
the second romance, between his
American grand-niece and the
nephew of his old fiance. At the
crucial moment he triumphantly
steps in to keep the pair from suf
fering the same frustration that he
did.
Niven and Miss Wright turn in
brilliant performances in the earlier
episode. Miss Keyes, as the Ameri
can girl, and Granger, as the nep
hew, also deliver finely as the mo
dern romantic duo. Jayne Meadows'
work as Niven's domineering sister
stands out in the supporting cast.
Alaska Gopers
Stage Kickoff
F o r Campaign
(Continued from Page 1)
assistant to the Governor totaled
$14,500 a year. This would make
Sundborg the highest salaried gov
ernment employee in the Territory.
White then added that the investi
gators proved that certain legisla
tors who had passed upon bills for
various bureau offices have been
hired by the bureau at very high
prices and said one senator is re
ported to have received about $45,000
for looking over the water rights
for the territory. Another member
of the house, White continued, re
ceived about $5,800 for fees for
looking into the matter of titles.
This he pointed out should be the
duty of the Attorney General and
the business conducted by the sena
tor should be performed by the
highway engineer.
Officials Lax
“In other words," White said, “we
have elected officials to do this work
but they do not do it. Instead they
hire members of the legislature
with, I think, one proviso. They must
be a Democrat and not the ordinary
Democrat but one that has the
blessing of this administration!”
To illustrate this point White said
the veterans board has had to bring
a number of suits to collect debts
due them. Instead of having court
action brought by the attorney gen
eral, whose duty is it to handle the
legal affairs of the territory, the
board hired attorneys and spent
thousands of dollars for this work.
The highway engineer has done the
same, he added.
In each instance, he pointed out,
“those hired were either members
of the legislature or those who know
what it pieans to be an administra
tion Democrat.” The Orgnic Act,
White continued, prohibits mem
bers of the legislature from making
a profit on legislation that they
have voted for.
Palmer Airport Deal
Next point brought out in White’s
speech was the fact that the ter
ritory had involved over $150,000 in
an airport site at Palmer and An
chorage and had bought land at the
rate of $1,172 per acre. Matching
funds from the federal government
was involved in this deal and inas
much as 10 times the real value of
the land was paid Sentor Hugh But
ler nas placed tne tacts ociore tne
Senate and White predicted agents
would soon be Investigating this af
fair.
Turning his attention to Ketchi
kan White then lashed out at what
he termed "another administration
mouthpiece and supporter.” The.
Ketchikan Chronicle, he said, re
ceived several thousands of dollars
from the Alaska Development
Board and the statehood commit
tee for printing. No bids were called
for he charged and said while other
territorial boards complied with the
law by advertising for bids, this
paper was paid thousands of dol
lars and no other competitor was
allowed a chance to bid even though
they also pay taxes.
The reason for this, he continued,
"is that this paper will be found
giving all out support to the admin
istration and has never once crit-,
,cized administration action.”
In Sorry Mess
“The Alaska laws,” White con- 1
tinned, "provide that the Governor
of Alaska shall look into the con
duct of the officers of the territorial
government. It goes without saying
that he does not do so!”
“I cannot disclose to you at this
time all that the investigating com
mittee has been able to uncover but
I can say the Territory is in a sorry
mess. Many feel that we should
spend according to our budget,
others feel that higher prices make
it necessary for some increase in
taxes, but no one feels the money
they pay should be stolen, wasted
or thrown away, without an effort
being made to stop it. Our affairs
should be conducted on the same
basis as any paying business!”
Turns on National Guard
Turning his attention to the Na
tional Guard White charged that
the administration was using even
this organization for political pur
poses. "Up in Nome,” he said, "there
is a man named Marsden, this man
was put on the National Guard as
Colonel Marsden at a salary of
$6,500 per year.”
“His business is to take the Es
kimo vote to the polls. Not the Re
publican vote, of that you can be
sure. He performed that task before
he became a colonel in the National
Guard. Now as a colonel, and at
that salary, he can do wonders for
the administration. Of course the
taxpayers foot the bill for Marsden’s
salary."
White concluded his speech by
branding Senator Frank Peratro
vich an “administration supporter
and an advocate of higher taxes”
and urged the voters of the terri
tory to support Republican candi
dates in the general election to re
turn the territory to “good, sound,
sensible government.”
Republican candidates for the
Territorial House, Ralph A. Bar
tholomew, and Clyde Peterson, both
made interesting talks and pledged |
themselves to sound economical
government if elected to office.
Mel Roe, president of the Ket
chikn Republican club, was master
of ceremonies at the banquet ami
concluded the meeting by urging the
Republicans to carry on the fight
to a showdown at the polls.
CHANGE MADE IN
FEDERAL AIRPORT
ACT; UP TO HOUSE
WASHINGTON, July 27 — W> —
The Senate passed and sent to the
House yesterday a bill to repeal
provisions of the Federal Airport
Act which limit the Federal share
of land costs to 25 per cent.
This would permit the Federal
share of land costs to be the same
as for other airport project costs,
with the exception of high inten
sity runway lighting.
In non-public lands states, under
the bill, the maximum Federal
share would be 50 per cent, a com
mittee report said. In public lands
states it would range from 51.39
to 62.5 per cent; and in Alaska
and the Virgin Islands would be
75 per cent.

NEXT FEW WEEKS BE
CRITICAL FOR WORLD
(By Associated Pressl
Washington sources said today
the ne;:t two or three weeks can
be critical in world history and
more combat troops for Korea are
urgently needed. There is little
space left on Korea to be traded
for time.
Reinforcements from the U. S.—
the Second Army Division and the
First Marine Division—are on the
way, but defense officials make it
plain these will not be enough.
More are needed both to bolster
he front and give rest to ex
hausted Americans who have been
fighting on the Asiatic peninsula.
Military leaders in Washington
said U. S. casualties in Korea have
been “amazingly low,” but there
has been a worrisome trend lately
in the increasing number of those
missing in action.
