The com- mittee offered its substitue for House Bill No. 1, by Regre;ent).auve; Harvey Smith. The Senate bill would provide n! $20 bounty on “every wild lobo or| timber wolf and every wild coyote | or prairie wolf,” the claim for bounty to be filed in the form of an affidavit sworn before a Notary Public, U. 8. Commissioner, Post- master or other official and sup- ported by a sworn statement of a personal acquaintance of the claim- ant that he believes statements in | the affidavit are true. | Agent Must See Pelt A wildlife agent or other official |of the Alaska Game Commission would be required to see and iden- | tify the pelt of each animal on which a bounty is claimed, to re-| move the bones of the left foreleg which would have to be attached to the pelt by the trapper, and to, punch holes in the left ear of the pelt. A certificate of such Wildlife | Agent would be required before a bounty could be paid by the Terri- - \torial Treasurer, The trapper would be allowed to keep and sell the pelt. A provision of the bill would pro- hibit any Territorial or Federal em- ployee to collect a bounty. " PFalse claim would be punished by a $1,000 fine or a year's imprison- ent. s he m i Two Other Bills Two other bills dealing with the bounty situation were introduced in the Senate today, both by Sen- |ator LeRoy Sullivan of the Second‘ | Division. One would appropnatew 315000 to be matched by Federal | (unds, to provide for a study of the | | wolf and coyote problem by the Bureau of Biological Survey. The other would provide for appoint- ment by the Attorney General of a | Wolf and Coyote Bounty Investi- gation Agent to protect the Ter- ritory\against fraud in bounty pay- ne st t- of the bill would have to be an !expert investigator trained in pre- datory animal control work. e, — Fred Henning, 16cal clothing mer- when she will| chant, returned to Juneau on the steamer Baranof after a 'month’s trip Outside on business and pleas- ure at Seattle and Snohomlsh ‘Washington. families "“go to market,” registers.

Low barometric pressure prevailed over the interior and western portions of Alaska, with a storm area ‘centered | over the mouth of the Kuskokwim Valley, the lowest reported pres- sure being 29.30 inches. This general pressure distribution hds been attended by precipitation along the coastal regions from the Aleutian Islands southeastward to Oregon and by cloudy weather over most of the remainder of the field o observation. It was warmer last night over the Alaska Railroad belt. Elsewhere over the Territory the 24-hour temperature ¢hanges have been small.

The red-white-and-blue is on the wave all over town. Hollywood’s doing the best it can—but it needs an expert flag-waver, and you're it!” It’s true. Here in the land of the blue sky and red and white lights, the stars and stripes are representéd no longer merely by Cagney, Bogart ET ALS. in convict uniforms. The one and only flag is being waved in Big Way. It's not only iIn those patriotic “shorts” has been putting out. ‘There the shorts are getting longer—and other significant additions have been made. To My surprisé I went on a sound stage today and found Michael ‘Clirtiz—no léss! —directing Claude Rains—no léss!—in a “long ‘short” of four reels called “Sons of Liberty.” This is the story of Haym Solomon, the Jewish patriot whose funds saved the American Revolution. The FitzPatrick travelogs in color, for years devoted to explor- ing beauties across the oceans, are coming home to roost at least temporarily. They'll see America last, perhaps—but let movie audiences see it first, as it should be seen on the screen. The series of 13 begins with a tour through California. George M. the Warner plant The interest in Abraham Lincoln—attributable of course to Raymond Massey’s Broadway hit—can come uhder the flag-waving demrtmem also. Darryl Zanuck has Henry Fonda readying him- self for a study of the youthful Abe. The dictators, however, are getting theirs generously in the “expose” featurés such as “Confessions of a Nazi Spy,” which was projected even before Will ‘Hays said the movies could say what they pleased about world affairs and be an active force. Result of that pronuncfamento or otherwise, another script— They Made ' ¢ ahighspotinyourday... That's luncheon time at PERCY’S. That big plate lunch served there daily for only forty cents is just the ticket to send you back to your work with' a new PERCY’S Her a Spy’—has gone into the re-write process, Instéad of vaguely hinting at a spy rimg operating at Washington, D. C., the new version rather strongly indicates the na.uonallty of the spies, although it still does not namie names. The name-naming apparently is left to “Confessions of a Nazi Spy,” a picture which has gone into work at last under conditions of secrecy that might do justice to a first-class espionage depnrtment No' scripts weré passed around, as is usual with new pictures. The director, Anatole Litvak, would say nothing. The word is that the film, definitely in the higher-budget bracket, will take material from Leon G. Turrou’s book, ‘Nazi Spies in America,” but will go farther and stronger. The cast includes so far Ed- ward G. Robinson, Francis Lederer (remember his tmmlc spon- sorship of “World Peace"?) and Lya Lys. And instead of the unusual foreword assuring the fictional na- ture of the film, this one will insist thdt events depicted, and the characters, are at work in the United States today. (That’s all I know now—if my operative GX! undercovers anything I'll let you know.) 3 “The American Way "—the Fredric March-Florence Eldridge Broadway hit—is a sure film subject, according to the reports, and «fet Freedom Ring,” the Nelson Eddy ‘show, has a patriotic flavor. " So all we need now is George M. Cohan to join in—TI beg your pardon!—LEAD the chorus!
