THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRFE-JUNEAU, ALASKA SHOWS 2 FEATURES A double feature bill opens to- night at the Capitol Theatre. “Jungle Jim,” the Johnny Weiss- muller adventure film with Vir- ginia Grey and George Reeves is one of the exciting stories. The new Columtia film, filled with the jungle thrills of underwater mon- sters, rampaging elephants, man- eating animals and savage tribes- men, presents Weissmuller as the intrepid hunter-explorer idolized by millions of cartoon strip fans. Presenting something new in the way of film entertainment, RKC Radio’s "V ty Time” blends a happy melange of short specialties and excerpts from silent films ol the 1911 era. Frankie Carle and his orchestra, Leon Errol, Edgar Ken- nedy and various dancing headlin- ers take part in the gay oflermg‘ Jack Paar, noted radio comic, in- troduces the different numbers as a master of ceremonies. George Bil- son produced the screen version ot an old-time TWO ACE PITCHERS SIGN, WHITE SOX CHICAGO, Jan. 27—(M—Three more players, including ace pitchers Bill Wight and Randy Gumpert, their 1950 signed contracts the Chicago White Sox. Wight southpawed 15 wins for the Sox last year while Gumpert notched 13. The third signee is Grover Bowers, recalled rookie out- fielder. The Sox now have 33 players on | a roster of 38 in tow. Those still unaccounted for include Cass Michaels, star second sacker who to COMMUNICATION Editor, Alaska Daily Empire: The city of Juneau has needed a modern library for many years. In this day and age, such an institu- tion ranks high among the necessi- | ties of a community; in fact it is almost as important as our public | schools. As stated in Mr. Heintzleman'’s letter which appeared in your January 24 issue, the people of Juneau have an unusual opportun- ity to acquire a library at compara- tively little cost to them. The Fed- eral Government has stated through the Alaska Public Works Act that they will match us dollar for dollar in the construction of a library building. This means that we can receive a grant of $70,000, one-half the estimated cost of the structure. Of course, raising the sum of $70,- 000 through private subscriptions presents the most difficult feature of the project. Even so, it is only one-third as difficult as it was about a year ago. As the Library Board pointed out, the sum ot $47,000 has already been subscribed. Much of this was raised by sub- stantial subscriptions by local resi- dents but a good share of it came from business houses and other institutions outside the Territory. With the Library being so close cult to raise the sum of $23,000 at this time. Every business man has a stake in this matter. There is no ques- tion but that a facility such as a| good modern putlic library will make for better living in Juneau. This directly effects his business. Every parent should contribute generously if he is to give his child BIG BASEBALL DEAL LOOMING SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 27—(®— Baseball's grapevine belts this re- port clear across the country to this outfielder: Bill Veeck has made overtures and now may be negotiating for controlling interest in either the Washington Senators or the Chicago Cubs. The source of the report may not be disclosed, but always has been reliable. Veeck became baseball's boy wonder while ballyhooing and good willing the Cleveland Indians into|sa one of the best attractions in the majors. Previously he turned in a handsome front office job with Milwaukee of the American Asso- ciation. When Veeck sold the Cleveland club at a fine profit after last sea- son, there was speculation whether he intended to remain out of the sport, or rest up to take 'another whirl &t it. He Indians, WANTS SNOW, SKI RACING LAKE PLACID, N.Y., Jan. 27+(® —With one eye on the bare ground and another on the sky which hinted of welcome snow, top offi- cials of the Federation Interna- tionale de Ski are wondering about the world ski championships scheduled to open here Monday. The jumping events will be held on Intervale Hill as scheduled, with artificial ice if necessary. But the slopes are bare for the cross- country events. Colder weather, bringing with it snow, is forecast for today after temperatures in the mid-fifties yesterday and rain eliminated all snows in this area. 3 FIRST STRINGERS SIGN UP, PHILLIES PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 27—(®— Three more of the Philadelphia Phillies first stringers have balked at signing contracts offered by President Bob Carpenter. Arriving on Carpenter’s desk yes- terday were the unsigned docu- ments from Robin Roberts, Gran Hamner and Mike Goliat. Roberts was the third best hurler on the pitching staff last year with a 15-15 record. Jones is regarded by many as the best young shortstop in the National League nd Goliat figures to be the club's regular second base- man. Carpenter declines to call the trio holdouts.
