Starring Paul- ette Goddard in the title role with Broderick Crawford, William Bis- hop, John Ireland and Oscar Ho- molka co-starred, the Columbia film opened yesterday at the Capi- tol 'Theatre. The screen play by Philip Yor- dan and Arthur Laurents, based on Yordan's play, “Anna Lucasta,” is concerned with the plight of a beautiful girl with whom life deals harshly. Forced by her father (Homolka) to leave the poverty- ridden Lucasta family in Pennsyl- vania, Anna (Goddard) embarks upon a miserable existence as a waitress in a cheap Brooklyn honky-tonk. Frank (Crawford), Anna’s conniving and “domineering brother-in-law who lives with the | Lucastas, hatches a scheme to part | Rudolf (Bishop), a family friend, =|from $4,000 which he plans to use EEE SRS A REN RN ERAnEENRAEASRENEIRUNTNTOSAREITTNIRANIRN: =|for a farm. Frank figures that if ® he can marry Rudolf off to Anna he will obtain his money. - Anna is summoned home and is smitten by Rudolph when she meets him. He reciprocates, but Anna’s chance for happiness, after she weds him, is marred by her father's unwillingness to accept the mar- riage. Lucasta threatens to expose her past if she doesn't leave. Crushed, Anna departs, reverting to her former sordid existence, when Rudolf finds her. THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE-—JUNEAU, ALASKA OLIN D. SHARPE HERE NEXT WEEK FOR BOY SCOUTS Olin D. Sharpe, Region 11 Execu- tive for the Boy Scouts of America, will visit Juneau next week, ac-| cording to an announcement today ! by Alaska scout executive Maurice | Powers.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 7—®— Admiral Arthur W. Radford told Congress today that concentrating American military strength in the Air Forces big B-36 bomber is “a bad gamble with national security.” ‘The theory of “a cheap and easy victory” through strategic bombing is unsound, Radford declared. Radford was before an open ses- sion of the House Armed Services Committee. The committee gave Naval officers an opportunity for the first time to air at the capitol their differences with other armed | services over high military policy.

Juneau nar- rowly escaped being sunk yester- day in Chatham Straits by an exuberant 70-foot whale. The story of the close squeak was told this morning by Edward L. Keithahn, curator of the Terri- torial Museum, who, with Thomas S. Parke, owner of the Barbara V, returned to Juneau from a week's vacation at Sitka. As they weére coming through the straits, they sighted two large whales playing on the starboard side. They swung the boat in the direction of the whales, and stood with their cameras ready, hoping ! to get some good shots. Suddenly, about 75 feet away, one of the playful whales jumped out of the water. “He came clear out of the water,” Keithahn said. “He stood on his tail facing us and so .close that we could see his corrugated belly.” Both men, thinking the creature would fall onto the boat, were too startled to think of using their cameras. The whale fell into the water near enough to send spray over the boat. Keithahn, recovering his aplomb, snapped a picture of the splash.
