She has two hard-hitting he-| men fighting over her in her new Paramount action picture, “High Explosive,” now at the 20th Cen- tury Theatre, and she loves it! The men in the scrap are Ches-| ter Morris, who's gone for Jean cinematically before, and Barry Sullivan, a good-looking stage star recruited for his film debut in this picture. Jean has a pretty hard time deciding between the two,; each of whom has much to recom-| mend him. Morris is seen in the| role of a devil-may-care driver of nitro trucks, and Sullivan is the| |man who owns the nitro concern| engaged in war activity, for which, both Morris and Jean work. When Jean's kid brother appears on the scene for a job as driver, the trouble starts in earnest. Mor- ris uses him as a means of winning, fean and the result is the acciden- tal death of the boy. Romance then temporarily takes a back seat while Morris tries to redeem him- self, with action holding the center of the screen. | — ., AIRPLANES USED T0 KILL WOLVES, REINDEER RANGE NOME, Alaska, May 1.—The most effective gunners of three commer- | cial planes flying over tundra country, killed 15 wolves on the Seward Peninsula last Tuesday, it was reported today. Lacking suitable light planes of the Piper Cruiser or Helicopter type, two standard commercial Bellancas and one Stinson were used. Bill Munz killed seven of a family of eight wolves, another plane pi- loted by Sigurd Wien was reponsible for six of the beasts from a pack of 10, while Frank Whaley's plane bag- ged two out of four. This harvest included nine fe- males found to have a total of 37 unborn pups, of which about 50 percent were females. The elim- ination of these wolves will save hundreds of reindeer. Airplane wolf hunting effectively supplements the continual ground hunting by native trappers and also helps carry out the constant reindeer program to drive the wolves from the reindeer ranges. - ——— HERE FROM NOME Mrs. Duke Mitrovitch and Miss Eloise Beacom have arrived here from Nome and are staying at the Baranof Hotel. - NOTICE All Emblem Club members re- quested to attend final spring busi- ness meeting at Elks Hall 8 p.m. tomorrow night, May 2, 1944. adv.
