Although Darro and Moreland make the strongest im- pressions because of thelr more mportant role Jean Yarbrough has done a strong job of direction and each character stands out as clear-cut and definite. The story, an original by Ed- mond Kelso, relates how Darro and Moreland apply for jobs as truck drivers with a large firm—and step smack into the middle of a vicious trucking war. It is concerned main- ly with their battles against hi- jackers and their efforts to clean a large-scale insurance swindle. - ALASKA GAME COMMISSION IS MEETING up All Comm issioners Are s Now Here - Field | Men Coming The Alaska Game Commissioners | are now all present at Juneau nnd‘ meeting began this morning at 9 o'clock.
