FRAN- CISCO, April 6.—Late this aft- ernoon, the Maritime Federation of the Pacific’s Alaska coordin- ating committee voted to with- draw picket lines from Alaska salmon packers’ ships and per- mit vessels to depart northward next week. The committee said the ships must leave soon to take advan- tage of the Alaska Fishing sea- son. Most unions are reported hav- ing arrived at tentative working agreements with employers. “No agreement will be signed, however, until all organizations are working in harmony with the Federation and are ready to sign,” said Z. R. Brown, District Ccouncil Secretary, adding: “On signing of the agreements, ves- sels will be manned as exped- iously as possible.” SAN FRANCISCO, Cal,, April 6— Progress all along the line in nego- | tiations between a group of unions |and the Alaska Packers Association |is reported. Removal of union picket lines to permit the sailing of two salmon fishing vessels for the Alaska wate:: will be considered today at a meet- ing of the joint union committee. PROPOSAL REJECTED SEATTLE, April 6—The pro- posed establishment of the 1938 wage scale for salmon fishing for 1939 is not acceptable by the unions involved. This is according to A. E Harding, Secretary of the Washing- ton District Council, No. 1, Mari- time Federation of the Pacific. Harding further said: “We will not accept that scale because it is a wage cut of the previous year. None of the affiliated unions have acted formally on the proposal. LATOUCHE TO SAIL NORTH NEXT WEEK Freighter Latouche, of the Alaska Steamship Company, is scheduled to sail from Seattle next Friday. April 14, according to a radiogram received this afternoon by Juneau Agent H. O. Adams. \ The Latouche will bring freight for Southeast Alaska ports, includ- ing Juneau and also for Westward ports. | it S et L TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN Notice is hereby given that the undersigned will not be responsible for any bills not contracted by him- self, personally. : adv.

Juneau, April 7—Sunrise, 5 nset, 6:54 p.m. Hollywood Sights And Sounds By Robbin Coom HOLLYWOOD, Cal.,, April 6.—A movie company will make a film about a and the producers sit back and wait, with some trepidation and misgivings, for the usual flood of protests. They get inquiries, ranging from the polite to the threatening in tone, from families and localities concerned, and they try to please everybody, hoping for the best—which was not what MGM got from its libel suit over “Rasputin and the Empress” or what 20th Century feared in the aftermath of “Suez.” But there's another side to the etching.. And that comes when from people and communities eager not to announces it amous historical character or a famous the letters arrive be omitted from the script. The story of the invention of the telephone, historically, touch- ed many settings, involved many striking incidents. They're mak- ing a movie of it—“The Story of Alexander Graham Be but they couldn't include everything and every place concerned with- out dragging out the script to serial length. Brantford, Ontario, where the telephone was conceived, doesn't figure in the film—despite the city's offer to help. They also left out Bell's associations with the former Emperor of Brazil, on which matter several Brazilian correspondents were more than willing to cooperate. The emperor was one of the judges at the Philadelphia Exposition—and the one responsible for Bell's win- ning the prize. The incident was deleted in favor of the tele- phonic demonstration for Queen Victoria—which fits in better with the main course of events and also, presumably, fits in better with the British market for the movie. Communities in Oklahoma were divided in sentiment about “The Oklahoma Kid.” There were those who feared the picture hungry? well, well . . pardon our sang froid, but caring for hungry people is our business, and we know that our 40-cent plate lunch will really do the job. PERCY’S -t would present too much rootin’-tootin’-shootin’ and lead the other states’ film fans to think of Oklahoma as just a place of guns, horses, and bad men. The picture, the studio hopes, is pleasing to both factions—but all the reports aren’t in yet. Dodge City, Kas., one-time cowboy and cattle capital of the frontier, makes no bones about its past and is proud of it. Nine persons die with their boots on in the film “Dodge City” but the studio could have killed off more without hurting anybody's feel- ings—because nearly a hundred second-besters in gun deals were buried in the town’s original Boot Hill cemetery. The thing that fans in Dodge City would like to see in the film (but which isn't in) is a character calied Pious Pedro. Pedro was a semi-tame buffalo which in the old days roamed the Dodge City streets at will. Pedro had one special delight: he enjoyed breaking up street parades and celebrations and he put an end to more festive occasions than any of the town's gun battles. It wasn't fear of legal action by Pedro’s descendants, if any, that kept the Warner factory from including him in the character list. In fact, Pedro was in there prominently at first, with one scene calling for Errol Flynn to tweak the buffalo’s tail. But it’s easier to write about a tame buffalo than to find one. There are few wild ones left, and there wasn't time to pacify one of these even if it could have been procured. So Pious Pedro, with regrets all around, was blue-penciled from the script.
