But because of her growing affec- tion for the doctor, she comes to accept her new routine. ‘Then a dynamic auto racer arrives in the nearby village, sweeps Karen off her feet and presuades her to run away to the Riviera with him. She resists at first, but becomes con- vinced that she will never regain her health regardless of the doc- tor's words of encouragement, and determines to live to the full what- ever time remains to her. The end of the story is inevitable. Karen’s stepped-up pace is too much {for her and, as her strength fails, she turns instinctively to the doctor and the sanitarium where, during i the last days of her life, she gains | the calm serenity that results from acceptance of one's fate and the se- cure love of the doctor. FRANK MORGAN, MOVIE ACTOR, DIES IN SLEEP i { HOLLYWOOD, Sept. 10—(P— | Actor Frank Morgan—he of the tharried manner and embarrassed laugh—is dead. The veteran stage, movie and radio comic, who in real life took| events so calmly he once slept ithrough the victory of his own |yacht in a hotly contested race to /Honolulu, died yesterday during his sleep. He was 59. His wife of 34 years, Alma,; inoticed he had stopped breathing tand called an inhalator squad. An |beur's effort was futile. Morgan had just finished a pic- { ture, “Keys to the City,” with Clark Gable and Loretta Young, on Thurs- day, but he did not seem unduly i tired. It was his 68th film. His latest-released movie was “The Stratton Story,” in which he portrayed a baseball scout. Among his top films were “The Great Zieg- |feld,” “Naughty Marietta,” and “Green Dolphin Street.” He also ihad his own radio show for a time. THESE DAYS -=BY-~- - GEORGE E. SOKOLSKY THE RETURN OF ADAM SMITH A people lives by its assumptions, and basic assumption of the Amer- ican people is that this is a cap- italist country. Capitalism is an economic philosophy best described by Adam Smith whose book ap- peared in 1776, the year of the De- claration of Independence. Our current generation, in schools and colleges, are being taught away Few of them are sufficiently courage- ous to declare themselves Marxists, and therefore talk around the sub- ject; usually producing such a mix-| ture of truth and falsehood that: the student is left without a guid- ing philosophy. This confusion, the professors call liberalism: that is, an open-mindedness which never reaches conclusions and therefore never reaches maturity. This phenomenon startled a lawyer, George S. Montgomery, Jr.,! who listened to the conversation of | the young. He described this ex-| perience: “Some time ago I found myself an observer in in informal dis-| 14 {read ‘this Introduction. ducts of parents and homes repre- sentative of reasonably prosperous business and professional families. The success achieved by their fath- ers and the comforts and education made available to them were the results of diligence and thrift over many years under the American capitalistic system, to which the parents were wholeheartedly devot- ed. Orthodoxy was their most prominent characteristic. “But the views expressed by these self-assured young Americans were so foreign to those of their parents and their forefathers that I have given the evening’s colloquy a great deal of thought, study, and research . . . " So he wrote a book, “The Re- turn of Adam Smith,” and it is a significant and valuable discus- sion of our current problems. Ev- ery American parent, who really cares about his children and his| country, should read the book, and | if his children are of college age, he should try to get them to read it. It will do them more good than much of the stuff they read for a degree. There is one point in Mr. Mont- gomery's book that I should like to emphasize: I quote: *“ ... I secured the latest Amer- ican edition of ‘The Wealth of Na- tions,’ published by the ‘Modern Library’ in 1937. T discovered that this volume contained an Intro- duction written by Professor Max Lerner, of Columbia University. 1 I saw a glimmering of light. There was 1 strange similarity between the fa- cile words to which I had listened a few evenings before and the sub- tle phrases of Mr. Lerner. When I finished the Introduction I was aware that Mr. Lerner had written, not an introduction to Adam Smith, but an invitation to Karl Marx. He provided an epitaph for Adam Smith. It was quite evident that Mr. Lerner intended Adam Smith to have no greater influence on the economic thought of American youth than has ‘Piers Plowman’ on its literary expression. Perhaps the publishers can explain how they came to select such a man to in- troduce Adam Smith to the Ameri- can public.” That is the technique which is undermining America. Huey Long put it so wisely when he said that when fascism came to America, it would be called democracy. For in- stance, the program of the new political group, the ADA, is straight socialism, but they call it democracy. The Stalinists call their satellie countries, “People’s Democracies.” So many who would destroy capitalism function as though they were capitalists. It is an era of masquerade, the as- sumption being, as Harry Hopkins is so often reported to have said, “The people are too dumb.” It is this intellectual arrogance which makes it possible for such a person as Leon Keyserling, sit- ting in the White House, to advo- cate the destruction of our econ- omic system while giving the im- pression that he favors its preser- vation. Mrs. Roosevelt recently put that thought into words when she protested that she and her husband, during the wildest days of the New Deal, sought to preserve capitalism in the United States—sought to do it by establishing a mixed econ- omy, the first step in Fabian So- cialism. Perhaps you will find the answer in “The Return of Adam Smith,” by George S. Montgomery, Jr. (Copyright, 1949, King Features Syndicate, Inc,) PRINCESS LOUISE HERE SATURDAY, BACK TUES. Docking at 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon and sailing at 11:30 o'clock that night, the Princess Louise had 18 passengers disem- barking and five embarking.

Then 20H SCREEN HAS STAR GALAXY N | 'MEXICO" MUSICAL Rich in acting and musical talent, | “Holiday in Mexico,” to be seen to- night at the 20th Century Theatre, is a delightful Technicolor musical. It boasts a galaxy of stars honded" Ly Walter Pidgeon, with the lovely Ilona Massey and youthful Jane Powell handling the singing chores,| aided by Jose Iturbi and Xavier Cugat. Punctuating the merriment is Roddy McDowall as the adoles-: | cent admirer of Miss Powell. ! With its picturesque scenes laid; in Mexico City, the plot of the new Joe Pasternak musical centers on the American ambassador to Mex- | dially in cheapening their currency: Buying Spree Hoped Until last night it took $4.03 to buy a pound’s worth of British goods. Today the same goods can be bought for $2.80. Britons hope Americans and others with dol- lars wilk go on a buying spree that will boost their earnings. But this financial mechanism also works in reverse. The average Briton eating American wheat, smoking American cigarets or buy- ing American machinery will have to spend more pounds to get those goods. Cripps announced that the first immediate effect to Britons would |be to raise the price of a 28-ounce loaf of bread from four and a half pence to six pence (from about eight to ten cents). British financial writers express- ed shock over the sharpness of the cut—30% per cent, in specula- tion here for the last year no rate lower than $3 was suggested and most British experts thought would range somewhere between 1$3.20 and $3.50. TELEPHONE DIRECTORY FOR JUNEAU-DOUGLAS NOW IN PRODUCTION Coincident with the reorganiza- tion of the Miner Publishing Co., local firm entrusted with publica- neau-Douglas telephone directory, it is announced that production on | the book has definitely been started. It has been announced by Al G. Overholtzer, new owner of the firm, ".hnt seven weeks will be required to complete the job, and have the new volume in telephone subscrib- ers’ hands. The buyers’ guide and business directory section has been greatly expanded and will be printed on a paper of contrasting color, as is done in the larger telephone direc- tories published “qutside.” Com- pilation of the advertising and busi- ness directory listings was done by Walter Smith, former advertising manager for The Empire. The Telephone Company will have these books distributed to sub- scribers immediately at the end of the seven-week production inter- val. IMMUNIZATION CLINIC Parents are reminded of the im- munization clinic to be held Wed- nesday morning at 10 o'clock at the | Public Health Center. Immuniza- tions against smallpox, diphtheria, whooping cough and tetanus are given. Interested ;ierwns are cor- invited to attend. The clinic will be conducted by Dr. J. W. Gibson, assisted by the public health nurses. MEETING CHESTER Z it tion of the 1949 edition of the Ju- | the crew of the Afognak was in- formed that the Mary B of Cordova was on the way to help them. The crew waited as the fishing boat Mary B rounded the point. They held their breaths as it con- tinued rounding the point and went |ouv. of sight. Then they gave up, pushed the lifeboat over the side and started |lcr shore. The surf upset the boat, and the crew of the Mary B which had landed in the Bay since rocks oftf Palm Point wouldn't allow a landing there, dashed out into the water to help them ashore. The crew of the Afognak — Brades, Johnson, Lee Christy of Ketchikan, Bucky Sadler of Ju- neau, Curtis Bach of Douglas and Jimmy John of Juneau—returned to the wrecked Afognak Friday imorning to get their gear. They found that the ship was Leginning to break up astern. They returned to Cordova aboard the Mary B Saturday, and left the Afognak, owned by J. V. Cole of Juneau, still on the beach at Palm Point, lying like a tired warrior at the end of a fight. !COUPlE (LUB WILL i HAVE DINNER MEET WEDNESDAY NIGHT The Couple Club of the Northern Light Presbyterian Church will hold its first dinner meeting for the fall in the Church parlors on Wed- dinner is a covered-dish program.

TONIGHT The American Legion at 8 o'Clock IN THE LEGION DUGOUT Visiting Veterans Invited ENGER, Post Commander nesday evening at 6:30 p.m. The ore and will be followed by a very interesting ico and his motherless daughter, played respectively by Pidgeon and Miss Powell. The latter, believing herself indispensable in managing her father's affairs, is shocked on discovering him to be involved in a romantice intrigue with a mys- terious countess, played by Miss Massey. Spurning the attentions ot the impetuous young McDowall, Miss Powell turns instead to Jose Iturbi with whom she believes her=- self in love. It takes a Cit of in- genuity on the part of the batfled Iturbi to convince Miss Powell that she would be more bappily mated to someone closer to her own age, but he finally achieves the feat with the help of his two grandchildren. In a departure from its usual all-screen fare, the 20th Century management announces a novelty attraction tomorrow, with two per- formances by Nemo, the Magician, who has “wowed ’‘em” in other Alaska theatres. The feats of magic are billed for tomorrow night only. I COMMUNICATION | . To the Editor of The Empire: l! notice in your newspaper that your Juneau City Band is planning a concert to aid a fund for the pur- chase of a grand piano for the city. This in itself is a very laudable undertaking but — Are there not other better funds that could be aided? A grand pilano is a grand thing tut would it be used more than three or four times, possibly six during the year? Then, if a real artist did appear whereby its use would be required, it would neces- sarily have to be tuned, and this is added expense. A grand piano must be kept in| a place where a certain tempera-! ture must be maintained day in and day out and should be kept locked also to prevent indiscrimi- nate use. Far be it from me to take ! the shingle off the roof, as they say, of any agent or agency, but is a grand piano essential to the few needs required? I Let us have a band concert, cer-! tainly, but for a better cause than for a grand piano fund. Signed, MRS. R. L. W. | Buy your fur coat trom the man | who makes it—he knows what's in | it.
