ISuspense, and an astonishing per- formance by Lora Lee Michel, a aew seven-year old child star, are the highlights of “Lady at Mid- night,” the mystery thriller which! is at the Capitol Theatre for to- xiglvl only. l Sutherland Production released by | Eagle Lion Films, is the gripping tale of a battle for the custody ot & rich child, which leads to three; murders in an atmosphere of ever- | mounting suspense. Richard Denning gives a sincere, Araightforward performance as the barassed foster-father who is de-. ermined to keep the youngster he 2as learned to love as his own. Frances .5 his worried wife, and her ro- mantic scenes with Denning, as well as her more dramatic ones with the child, are played with al i quiet sureness. Jack Searle is just as effectively !mean a grownup actor as when he; | was menacing Jackie Cooper and | Jackie Ccogan when the three were kid stars some eighteen years ago. Ralph Dunne makes his detective irole a complete delight, while Naila Bryant and Harlan Warde are ef- ifective in their parts. Ben Wel- den provides an excellent comedy { it or two.

Gray, Jr, Administrator |of Veterans Affairs today made | public the first Veterans Adminis-| tration calculations on amounts proposed to be paid nearly 16,000,000 veterans in the $2.8 billion spec- |1al National Service Iife Insurance | dividend. Maximum possible amount that any veteran can receive will he-i |t52& Other payments, based on !age groups will run to lesser sums. !The dividend .will be paid only for the period that the policy was in force prior to the policy anniver-j |sary in 1948, No payments will made for periods of lapse, VA em- | phasized. Gray said that the estimated rate of the dividend was arrived at af- | ter. Jong actuarial studies, and that the rate of payment will be same for beth term and converted poli- cies, as the dividend is based on mortality savings since there are no excess interest earnings. Dividend Scale In arriving at the dividend scale, may said, standard insurance prac- | tides were followed, whereby divi-: |dends on a life insurance policy | represent a return to the insured of the excess of premiums paid over | the amounts required to pay claims land set up necessary reserves, This! |is not necessarily. proportional to |the premium paid. ‘While portions of the premium 1omlnnlly estimated as necessary to pay claims may turn out to have |been too high and can return ai dividend, the part of the premium | that goes into building up reserves |cannot return a profit unless the fund earns a rate of interest high- er than that assumed in the prem- ium calculations. This has not been done in the case of National Service } Insurance, Mr. Gray pointed out.| Maximum Payments In computing the maximum pay- »ment of sszs, the dividend was | based on a $10,000 policy in force for 96 months (the longest pos- sible period), on a veteran aged 40 or less at the time the policy was taken out. This represents a payment of 55 cents a month per $1,000 of insurance. As the mortality rate for the age group of 40 did not vary greatly, a single dividend rate will apply to this whole group. The rates of payment will be: Those under 40 years of age at jthe rate of 55 cents per month per | $1,000 of insurance; those 41 to 45 t j years e, scaling down fi 52 y at Midnight” a Jonnl“’“" of age, scaling n from 52 cents to 40 cents; those 46 to 37 cents down to 25 cents; 50, those 51 to 54, 24 cents down to 21 cents; | those 55 and over, thousand. The proposed scale does not ap- ply to insurance on a permanent plan which has been surrendered for a reduced paid-up amount 20 cents per j These cases will be handled separ- Haines ately. The proposed scale follows: 40 Rafferty is equally good and under, 55 cents; 41, 52;, 42, 49; !/zmul}l\v Island 13, 45, 40; 46, 49, .28; 50, 23; 53, 22; 54, 21; 20. 51, .24; 52, and over, \TWO DAYS MORE OF SAFETY CHECKUP BY Al Drivers Urged to Make | Sure Cars Are Okayed by October 1 Between the hours of 2:00 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. Tuesday the Hizh- way Patrol and the Juneau City Police checked €0 cars, The daily; report shows: 22 violation driver's license on their person or in their car; soever, 5 had faulty headlights. 2 had no tail-lights. 15 had no stop lights. 2 had no muffier, 6 had no emergency brakes. 1 had no windshield wiper. 2 had only 1 license plate each. 2 with foreign license to be re- newed. 1 had axle bent on left wheel, There are only two more days left of the traffic check and every one should try to have his car checked by the first of the month.
