TENSE MURDER IS REVEALED IN BILL, CAPITOL THEATRE Did Steven Kenet strangle his wile in an uncontrollable fury of jealousy or as a victim of amnesia did he only imagine that he had | committed the crime? That is the question uppermost in the minds of audiences viewing Robert Taylor's latest M-G-M star- ring vehicle, “High Wall,” now be- ing shown at the Capitol Theatre, and not until an intense suspense has been sustained right up to the gripping climax is the observer able to make up his mind as to the hero’s innocence or guilt. Director Curtis Bernhardt has avoided the usual formulas in un- folding his story of the ex-bomber pilot who, barely recovered from a train injury, returns from overseas te discover that his wife has been carrying on an affair with her pub- hsher employer. When Kent drives car containing her body into a river, all evidence points to him as her slayer. His total loss of memory, however, results in his being com- mitted to a prison hospital where, under supervision of a woman doc- tor, he first undergoes an operation to remove a brain clot and subse- quently submits to a treatment known as narcosynthesis by means of which he is able to recon- struct the blank periods in his n.emory. CANADIAN PARLIAMENT MEMBER URGES HAINES CUT-OFF BE KEPT OPEN Every effort now is being made in Ottawa to obtain a decision which would keep the Canadian section of the Haines Highway open on a year-round basis starting in 1950, Alaska Development Board otficials here have been advised by the Hon. E. T. Applewhaite, Mem- ber of Parliament for the Skeena district, Prince Rupert, B.C. Mr. Applewhaite is strongly urging that the 117-mile Canadian section be opened for traffic at the edxiest possible moment next spring. That cection was not opened last year until June 9, although the 43-milé Alaskan portion was cleared several weeks previously. Owing to national elections and the late convening of Parliament, attempts by Mr. Applewhaite, the Associated Boards of Trade of Cen- tral B.C., the Alaska Development Board and others to have the road kept open this winter were made too late in the year to result in favorable action, he informed the Board officials. ‘When requesting that the high-.| way ‘te given winter maintenance, Mr. Applewhaite was® advised *y Defense Minister Brooke Claxton that “while the matter has been the subject of careful consideration, the government has decided tiat the commitment involved in kecp- ing the highway open for year- round traffic could not be und tuken, and therefore the road would not be maintained ior winter opera- tions this seasol To support his request, the Alaska Development Board is pro- viding Mr. Applewhaite with an- ticipated winter traffic figures and other pertinent information, Board officials said.

MESSIAH WILL BE GIVEN ON SUNDAY; IS FREE AFFAIR The Messiah will be sung at the 20th Century Theatre next Sun- day afternoon by a volunteer com- munity chorus of Juneauites. It is the same music, both chorus and solos that were used in the days of the composer. The public is -in- vited to hear it and the perform- ance begins at 2:30 p.m. “The Messiah, Handel's most successful and best known oratorio, was composed in the year 1741 in twenty-four days, from August the 2% to Sept. 14. “It was first performed at a con- cert given for charitable purposes at Dublin, Ireland, on April the 13, 1742, Handel conducting the performance in person. The pro- ceeds from the Messiah have al- ways keen used for charity. The composer received no royalties. “Thereafter, Handel, beginning March the 23, 1743, brought out the Messiah every year in London with great applause. In the course of time he made various altera- tions in certain numbers, set sev- eral new ones to music, transcribed a few arias for different voices, but left the work as a whole unchanged, hoth vocally and instrumentally, from its original form.” No dancing classes until after Jan. 1.

MANILA, Dec. ulary headquarters tonight reported 15 men were killed and 14 are miss- ing and presumed dedd in an en- counter today between government forces and Moro outlaws on Jolo Island in the Southern Philippines A force of 1,000 Moro outlaws ) under Datu Kamlon were reported defying government forces at the foot of Mt. Luuk on Jolo Island. Constabulary headquarters listed the known dead as 12 enlisted men, a captain and two lieutenants. Missing and presumably dead | were 62 enlisted men, a major and | a lieutenant. Fighting in the Southern Philip- pines has been frequent since the Nov. 8 Presidential election. How- ever, the outlaws on Jole apparently are not political dissidents.
