S. Commissioner Richard W. Dunkin, of McGrath, to be sealed. Because he sealed the affidavits, Dunkin will also be hailed into court as a witness in the case, it was de- clared. Investigations by wildlife agents, following seizure of the beaver pelts last spring, disclosed the fact that the affidavits were made out by the small children, Dufresne said. In instituting the action, the government is bringing an action in rem, Dufresne said, in which the skins are being presented in court and anyope whp wishes to claim possession of them maycome forward and do so. Only claimant who has appeared so far, it was reported, is Leo Kaye, also known as Leo Koslosky, Fairbanks fur Meantime, weather was warming up at Ketchikan, where more than an inch and a half of mixed rain and snow fell last night and the temperature was up around 48 de- grees this morning. Coldest - spot lin Alaska this morning was Fair- banks, where the mercury hovered |around 40 below zero, It was even colder though, at Dawson, Yukon Territory, where the thermometers were registering 45 below. Point Barrow, on the other hand, was experiencing what amounted to a heat wave for this time of- the year, with the température at 11 degrees above'zero. Reports indicat- ed that Eskimos at that Arctic point are ‘searching for' summer clothes and leaving the doors to their houses open for more ventilation, 18 ARE INVESTED AS GIRL SCOUTS Troops 1, 2 and 3 of the Girl company with the slightly colder,! ATREGULAR MEET | WOOD AND LOVE PROVIDE THEME IN NEW PICTURE 20th CentuWJw Showing| ""Moon Over Burma” with Dorothy Lamour Take a good-looking gal from Brooklyn and put her to slngmg: in a cafe in Rangoon, and a couple | by of likely American lads who are §§ in the teak logging business up mi the Burmese hills, and let ‘'em’ meet. at the cafe. Mix well with good dialogue, snappy situations, new songs, fine direction and you have: “Moon Over Burma,” the Paramount comedy-romance now playing at the 20th Century Thea-| tre with Dorothy Lamour at the girl, and Robert Preston and Pres- toh Foster as the lads. The . lads start things moving nicely at the cafe when they both fall in love with Miss Lamour, new short ‘hair-do and all, after hear-| ing her sing. Eventually she winds up at the compound where they op- erate their teak business. Further development of the story hinges on the fact that the boys went down to Rangoon to borrow enough money to keep their busi- ness going. The man from whom they borrowed the money wants their business, too; and he sets an operative to work to slow down the output of teak. But the real fun and romance comes in because the money lend- er’s daughter, played by Doris No- lan, loves Foster. He loves Lamour and she loves him. Miss Nolan, jealous, tells Robert Preston, who also loves Lamour. That makes for lots of fun before it is determined who will win who.
