It is a dramatic and forceful presentation of the problems facing too many Ameri-! can homes in too many American towns today. ‘The near-killing of a policeman by two teen-agers sets off an in-. vestigation of the causes of delm-l quency in a typical American town. The picture points out that no one iperson or circumstance is entirelv |to blame.

John Davis, 43, was charged later with second degree assault on an officer.. Fourteen peace officers, | using tear gas and billy clubs, had failed to rout him from the rural home. A doctor finally persuaded him to surrender. Coroner Paul Mellinger said Mrs. Arleen Stone, 47, died in the bed- room from a blocdclot. The cor- oner said she had bled from the rough treatment. The coroner re- ported earlier that she was mutilat- ed, but he reported later that she Wwas not. Davis’ story: Her husband wife told officers this and the wcman finished residence on a sideroad, at 7 p. m. last night. Both were intoxicated. Davis ordered his wife from the house. Watching from a window, Mrs. Davis said she then saw the couple “tie on a first class binge” until a bed.

Alaskans who have seen it—in- ;cluding Sourdoughs who are critical | of usual portrayals of life in the Far North—say that Eskimo life is especially well shown. There are | fine shots of wildlife, as well as sequences of Eskimos in their vil- lage and as they pursue their living in skin boats. The admirable photography of | “Harpoon” was done entirely in | Alaska over a five-month period. In the whale hunt, the spouting| monsters of the deep, veering and | cavorting in the icy waters, look as dangerous as they are. One has a look at large groups of seal and | walrus, and into several genuine interiors, including a saloon in which, presiding at the piano, is a | 'mammoth blond of uncertain vint- ! age, who is one of the most pic- turesque entertainers ever screened. | Handsome, husky John Brom- | field is starred, with exotic Alyce | iLnulx' playing the leading femlmn‘“ | role.
