Not |in any sense a sequel, because this |drama stands on its own merits as one of the most dynamic, heart- son, the new picture, again starring Spencer Tracy and Mickey Rooney, | opened last night at the Capitol 'Tnentre The story is woven around Father Flanagan's increasing finan- cial problems as he overexpands to care for the increasing hundreds |of boys who appeal to him for aid. | But such troubles mean nothing to ;mm when a boy needs him. Tracy is hard pushed for honors by | Rooney as Whitey Marsh, Mayor ‘of Boys Town, now more mature, | who has become Father Flanagan’s \right hand. The film reaches its stirring cli: Imax when Whitey is adopted by two wealthy people, gets into th |hands of the law when he tries to |help a boy criminal and is sent to a reform school. Father Flanagan's bringing to light the true state of affairs provides suspense, excite- Iment and dramatic impact. | Director Norman Taurog's hand |is evident in the work done by two | boys, Larry Nunn as Ted Martley, ja crippled boy who murders a re- |form school guard and is placed in Father Flanagan's custody, and | seven-year-old Darryl Hickman as | Flip, a kid bandit.

Ernest Gruening here, asking them to put |24-hour guards on all vital prop- erties. | 1In reference to Civil Aeronautics Administration airports throughout Alaska, Gov. Gruening received a wire from Robert Hinckley, Assistant Secretary of Commerce, requesting that all landing fields be protécted. Orders were given through the Gov- ernor to hold all aircraft at the fields, unless the planes are on regu- lar scheduled flights or are publicly with the government. That the American Red Cross stands ready to act in case of any emergency in the Territory was in- dicated in a wire received this morn- ing by Gov. Gruening from A. L. Schafer, in charge of Red Cross ac- tivities at San Francisco. The wire read: “Concerning the Pacific war em- ergency situation, have wired all Al- aska Red Cross chapter chairmen to be ready for any eventuglity requir- ing relief to Alaskan citizens, in- cluding food, clothing, medical at- tention, in accordance with tradi- tional Red Cross disaster relief practices.

WINS FUR DISPUTE AT FAIRBANKS 170 -lilegal Beaver Pelts Ordered Forfeited by Fur Dealer | ! Court action in Fairbanks brought by the Alaska Game Commission against an alleged fur ring was |settled Saturday in favor of the government and will see the for- feiting of 170 beaver skins, valued at $4500 and claimed to have been taken illegally, it was announced today by Frank Dufresne, execu- tive officer of the game commis- sion. The presence of 17 native chil- dren, ranging in age from two to eight years, whose names appeared on trappers’' affidavits covering the taking of the pelts was proof enough for the federal judge to re- “xuse the claim of Leo Kaye, fur |trader, to the skins. Defense Attorney Julian A, Hur~ ley, representing Kaye, contended it had been the policy of the game commission to seal all skins taken, for all members of every native | family, regardless of age. Also implicated in the case was a U.

It ‘ls a red-blooded picture that wo- {men as well as men will like, one that youngsters will go crazy about. The picture is laid against an historical background of the set- tling of the Indian Territories of what is now the state of Oklaho- |ma. The period is 1893 when the government was about to open the Cherokee Strip for settlement un- der the Homestead Laws. This at- tracted some of the best, and a lot of the worst, elements in the country and lawlessness had to be curbed. Florence Rice, the blonde and pleasing daughter of Grantland | Rice, the well-known sportswriter | {and columnist, lends the romantic | atmosphere.

Grand prizes for the series of| parties were awarded to Mrs. John| Satre and John Fagerheim. The| prizes were pen sets donated by Ludwig Nelson. Following the card games, for which 60 people were present, the| evening was spent dancing to music furnished by musicians of the or- ganization. This series of parties has been under the direction of Mrs, | Belle Knutsen, Chairman, Bert Al- stead, Pete Hildre, Mrs. J. Sunder-/ land, Mrs. W. Rasmussen, J. Fager-| heim, Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Olson, Mrs, Olive Westley and Miss Lenore| Olson.
