COMING TONIGHT, DOUBLE FEATURE CAPITOL THEATRE Rolling up a score of thrills said by Hollywood to top anything be ever brought to the football field, Stanford’s All-American quarter- | back, Frankie Albert, comes to the, Capitol Theatre on a double fea-) ture bill showing for the first times tonight in Columbia's “The Spirit of Stanford.” Marguerite Chapman, Shirley Patterson and Robert Stevens appear in° major support of the gridiron thunder- | bolt Charles Barton, who directed last season’s “Harmon of Michigan,” is | simila responsible for “The Spirit of Stanford,” hailed as one| of Hollywood’s most thrilling dra-| mas of college life. Said to be an| | unusual new type of football thrill- |er, the picture is as much a story |of gridiron victories and defeats las it is a character study of a boy who discovered that college is more {than a football stadium. | | The second attraction brings John Carroll -to the screen as a | debonair adventurer in the Cana-| |dian wilds in “Pierre of the Plains,” |thrilling story of a lovable rene-| |gade at constant odds with the | “mounties.” Opposite him is Ruth | Hussey, playing her first outdoor | adventure role.

GAR: with can find, President Roosevelt put himself on record for the first time as definitely favoring anti- strike legislation for the dura- tion. The President did object to the eighth section which, with an in- consistendy of which only Con- gress is capable, sets up machinery for calling the very strikes that have been outlawed in the seven preceding clauses. He also objected to the ninth section, which forbids labor organizations, for the dura- tion, from making political contri- butions. —PLUS— “DON WINSLOW OF'THE NAVY” Latest News Events States Attorney General that this| Until Victory is won, eve\rything we have to offer— Pan American Airways’ experience gained by more than 165 million miles of overseas flight to 63 foreign countries and colonies and the “know how” of 10 years’ pioneering of scheduled flying in Alaska— All are at work for the Government and Military services of the United States. Meanwhile, we appreciate the patience and understanding of Alaskans who so often find that war priority stands in the way of that trip or delays that express shipment. o As is apparent immediately, the only two clauses which the Presi- dent “actually vetoed” were those two which had nothing to do with or were inconsistent with the ac- tual outlawing of wartime strikes and the penalties for inciting or participating in’them. A week or so ago, it was pointed out here that Congress, by placing the Connally-Smith-Harness bill on the President’s desk for his signa- ture or veto, had put the President on such a spot as he hadn’t been on for years. It looks as if the President, with the help of Con- gress in over-riding the vetq, has very neatly been taken off of it. AT PITOL HAS THE CA!

While warn- ing that the Germans still proba- bly have about 400 submarines and can |full-force campaign, naval sources here and in London ascribe the | Nazi war-sharks’ astonishing set- back to these principal factors: 1—New escort aircraft carriers and long-range aircraft. Recently a big convoy crossed the Atlantic with air protection the entire dis- tance. | 2—More escort ships, including the grotesque new D-E boats, bristling with sensational secret anti-submarine weapons. 3—The new coordinated U. S. Canadian-British defense system, which takes in defenses stationed where none had existed before. 4—The killing or capture of many of Germany's experienced submarine crews. 5—The belief advanced by Churchill—that convoys “are not being seriously attacked at this time.” This, if true, is a tribute to the effectiveness of our convoy defense systems. Pacific Story The story in the Pacific, as out- lined by Navy spokesmen, amounts to about this: 1—We are steadily increasing our submarine fleet. Exact figures of course can't be told, but at the start of the war we had 111 sub- marines plus 73 being built. This makes a total of 184 certainly com- pleted long ago, and Secretary of Navy Knox disclosed last month that “we have added a small num- ber every month.” 2—The training and morale of our submarine crews are of the highest order. Submarine service is voluntary, but the Navy has a waiting list. | 3—For some reason, the Jap anti-submarine system is a prac- tical flop.
