"KISSING BANDIT' WITH SINATRA IS BILL AT CAPITOL There's song-and-laugh-filled enjoyment on the Capitol screen in “The Kissing Bandit,” M-G-M's galloping new Technicolor musical, with Frank Sinatra as a bold, bad bandit and Kathryn Grayson as the singing senorita who leads him a merry chase. Laid against spectacular back- grounds in California’s High Sier- ras, this rib-tickling story moves at breakneck pace. It concerns a group of former bandits reluctantly turned respectable until Ricardo (Sinatra), son of their one-time leader, the famous Kissing Bandit, returns to California to lead them cnce again to glorious adventure. However, Ricardo proves to be a timid young man who has difficul- ties remaining astride his horse. Eut, since he seem to have consid- eratle appeal for women, Chico (J Carrol Naish), current head of the bandits, persuades the others to let him remain to carry on the tradi- tion established by his father and he certainly does in a merry way. UCLA WINS CLOSE GAME (By the Associated Press) UCLA and Western Kentucky demonstrated last night they must be ranked among the nation’s lead- ing college basketball teams. Fresh from a 65-63 victory over i Tilinois the touring UCLA quintet knocked Lasalle out of the unbeaten ranks 62-57 in the feature of a twin bill at Philadelphia. Western Kentucky, opening its| annual eastern tour, put on a sec- ond half spurt that downed Canisius 74-61, in the top attraction of a doubleheader at Buffalo. | San Francisco, the National In- vitation Tournament Champion, took it on the chin again in Madi- son Square Garden, this time a 56-48 licking from Long Island. Utah, from the Skyline Six con- ference, fell before St. Josephs of ! Philadelphia in tre other game at Fhilly, 69-68. In the Garden first game Santa Clara spurted in the closing min- utes to whip Manhattan, 73-44. In the first game at Buffalo Temple broke a three-game losing streak by trimming Buffalo University, 66-48. I PAGE THREE CHRISTMAS DINNER|JUNEAU SERENADED SCIENTISTS FOR HOMELESS MEN AT SALVATION ARMY The Salvation Army Christmas dinner for homeless men was given at 4 o'clock Monday afternoon in the Willoughby Avenue hall, with 25 men as guests of the organiza- tion. The menu included roast turkey with cranberry sauce, sweet pota- toes, celery, olives, mashed pota- toes, dressing, peas, salad, coffee cake, candy and nuts. Food, tastily prepared by the Salvation “Lassies” and in generous amount, was accompanied by a program of entertainment. The Salvation Army band, heard by many in the offices and stores of Juneau last Friday and Satur- day, was again on hand to play several Christmas carols. Mrs. Captain Lorenzen gave 2 vocal solo, “Oh Holy Night,” after which Mrs. Captain Newton read the Christmas story, “Littlest Angel.” A charming duet was given by the little Lorenzen twins, Marie and Martha, who, in appropriate angelic dress, sang Luther’s “Cradle Hymn.” Two alto saxophone num- bers were played by Walter Smith, and Captain Richard Newton ther sang the well-known “Gesu Bam- tino” number. Captain Henry Lorenzen read the Bible Christmas story, and the men present joined in the Christmas “singfest” by lustily singing “Jingle Bells” and other melodies. Major Eric Newbould, as Master of Cere- monies, turned “Quizz-master” and discovered that among those pre- sent no less than five states and three countries were represented As the festivities came to a close prayer was offered by Mrs. Major Newbould. The staff present to prepare the dinner and to take part in the program numbered eleven, Wwith seven children on hand. Annual distribution of food to needy Ju- neau families, as well as arrange- ments for the Christmas dinner, had been carried out by Captain and Mrs. Richard Newton, officers in charge of the local Corps. Thus another honaay season In Juneau has been commemorated in { fulfilment of the policies of the organization whose theories mingle with practical every day service to society through cooperation of the public. That cooperation has made the 1949 observance in Juneau a mem- oratle one, accoraing to the verdict of the Salvation Army leaders here.

SHOWING UP BIG THINGS NEW YORK, Dec. 27—(P—High- lights of reports to the annual meeting of the American Associa- tion' for the Advancement of Sci- ence, which is in its second day today : Americans are eating better, but families with annual incomes of $2,000 or less don't get much as the rest of us A new industry of 1949 will now sell you radioactive alcohol, gaso- line or most anything of that nature you want—but only for testing. Einstein says he telieves he has solved the g est mystery of the physical world, which is; what is gravitation made of. His solution is entirely in mathematics which probably cannot be verified for several years. Uranium 235, for power uses, is now no more costly to manufacture than the price of the coal that would give an equal amount of heat. Ope pound of this 235 equals 2,000 tons of coal in heat. Geologists, in a special sympos- fum, say the United States has plenty of water, but that the sup- ply doesn't stay ample very long unless scientists and engineers find out where and how to stop wastes. When the earth blotted out the sunlight from the moon in an eclipse last April, the darkened moon turned so cold so fast that her soil should have frozen nearly a foot deep. It didn't only be- cause the moop has no water.
