"BIG JACK" LAST SHOWING TONIGHT CAPITOL THEATRE Clem Bevans returned to M-G-M for an important role in “Big Jack,” | which promises to rival his previous Photoplay Award-winning role at that studio in “The Yearling.” The popular character actor por- ‘trays a gnarled and bewildered frontier pioneer of the 1800's in the new film, starring Wallace Beery at the Capitol Theatre for the last | time tonight. | Bevans' role combines humor and | drama, highlighted by his meeting | with the town's newspaper editor who believes him dead and buried. On the serious side, he helps form the posse which finally tracks down Beery. Bevans, who recently completed | roles in “Paleface” and “Portrait of Jenny,” last appeared at M-G-M in “Gallant Bess.” PLANE USED TO KILL - MOOSE, TIED UP 2% YEARS, IS RELEASED A privately-owned aircraft, tied jup for two and a half years near | Northway by a government lien be- cause its pilot had shot a moose from it, was released late last week by payment of a $200 fine, it was released today by Clarence Rhode, | regional director for the Fish and Wildlife Service. It is illegal to shoot or even spot game from an aircraft but this case is the first ever prosecuted by the service. On September 19, 1947, a flight | instructor named F. G. Larrimove " of Fayetteville, Ark., went to North- way to give instruction to Civil Aeronautics Authority crews. Ac- cording to statements of witnesses, in possession of Dan Ralston, in’ charge of enforcement for the serv- ice, a moose was wounded with some 10 to 15 bullets from a plane used by Larrimore. { Larrimore, when questioned, gave |a statement that the moose was shot from the ground by a party, and the plane landed to carry the carcass out. ‘The plane he flew, owned by an- other party, was grounded for sev- .éral months and not allowed to fly, lbut eventually it was put under ‘ bond and allowed to make restricted ‘flighu; over certain areas under ‘sf.rmgent conditions laid down by the service. A camp must be established in order for moose to be taken legally, with no spotting or “rounding up” allowed by air. Only use a plane may be put to is for carrying out meat, or carrying hunters to a camp site. A trapper near Northway gave | service representatives his version of what happened by declaring he shot a moose standing in a nearby lake, and that shortly after, a plane circled and landed. He had pre- viously heard the plane, with shots apparently coming from it, he said. ~ The trapper said he found several bullets in the dead animal that did not come from his gun, and that he - T TUESDAY, APRIE 25,1950 SHUVPLA[EHI usiead | Complete Shpws 7:25-9:30—Feature 8:03-10:08 Tomorrow We offer g b HOURS CONTINUOUS LAUG]ITER!

SCHWINN BIKES AT mlmsl e s in i . e i . " THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA S. E. ALASKA GOSPEL SALLY CARRIEGHER, |22 GO SOUTH ON NAVY CONDUCTED 50 OPERATION HERE Now* that “Operation Juneau” by the Gospel Navy of Southeast Alaska has been virtually completed the story can be told. Several days ago the trim craft which go to make up this modern armada began to arrive in Juneau. “Good Tidings” owned and skio- pered by Sam Johnson of Angoon, brought the vanguard of delegates and visitors to the 1950 Presbytery of Alaska. Sailing the greatest distance was the “Vermay,” the vessel owned by the Rev. Vern Swanson of Craig, bringing the delegation of that church to the Presbytery. Bringing not only his seaworthy boat into the port of Juneau sately, but his crew of helpers also, Mod- erator George Betts, pastor of the Presbyterian church of Hoonah, ar- rived aboard the St. Nicholas. From Sitka came the SJS-II, bringing students, faculty members, part time and full time Christian workers and Leslie Yaw, President of the Sheldon Jackson Junior Col- lege. Not least in capacity, and per- haps best known in the waters of Southeastern Alaska waters is the ‘| M.V. Princeton Hall, mission boat of the Board of National Missions, Presbyterian church, U.S.A. Skippered by the Rev. Paul H. Prouty, and with Herbert Mercer (both of Juneau) as engineer, the Princeton Hall arrived with a large contingent from Skagway, Haines and Klukwan. The Elizabeth D of Kake, boat of Lay Preacher Andrew Gambel, came into port with several of the active church workers who attended the sessions just concluded. Here is a novel navy in the annals of water transportation. It is safe to report that there wasn’t a keg of grog aboard any of the ships. That, too, may be said of the ship while not under the same orders as those listed above, has come ‘o Alaska for the same objective, “Op- eration Juneau.” P The Willis Shanks, medical mis- sionary boat based at Seattle, ar- rived in Juneau during progress of the 1950 Presbytery of Alaska and the conferences of the Presbyterial Society. Aboard the Willis Shanks, skippered by Capt. C. F. Stabbert, was not only the regular ship trew, medical and missionary personnel, but a talented vocal quartette, “The Four Flats.” These young men have appeared repeatedly in the services which were a part of the 1950 Presbytery. After continued appear- ances in S.E. Alaska, they will leave for Vancouver and the East, as a part of the Youth for Christ move- ment. As to who is “Chief of Gospel Navy Operations,” in Alaska waters, no one seems to have penetrated the grapevine of rumor. But it appears significant that the teachings ol one who, about two thousand years ago, built His world-shaking mes- sage on the lives of fishermen ot old should still draw into its fol- lowing, those who are the fishermen of these modern times. GREASE PAINT PROBLEM SOLVED BY SHOE SHINER Some difficulty has been en- countered in securing black grease paint for the dark-face skit which is being presented at the Rotary Variety show on Thursday, May 4, at the 20th Century Theatre. However, part of the problem was solved when Rufus Cheney, the “shoe shine boy” at Brown's Bar- ber Shop agreed to help. Cheney is an excellent dancer and will team up with Bill Passey to present a number at the home talent show which is being staged by the Rotary Club.

Like so many others, she came to Alaska “and found it fatal.” “I had to come back,” she said, and when one considers that thc home she left was in San Francisco, one realizes how strong must be the lure of the north to her. Her story of the native people on St. Lawrence Island and their cous- ins among the Russian Eskimos brought to her wide reader audi- ence the startling proximity of Alaska to the Soviet. Another Alaska story by Miss Carreigher, due for Post publica- tion in about two months, will tell of her flight from Nome to Unala- kleet last spring with pilot Robert Murphy of Wein Airways. A haz- ardous flight, made just at the time of the spring ice breakup, its story won enthusiastic praise from Post editors. “Bush Flight,' 'as Miss Carreigher has titled her story, should win more nation-wide interest in the north, as the author’s enthusiasm for Alaska is contagious. Her present plans are to fly to Fairbanks and Nome, then to live for awhile in Kotzebue. One of Miss Carreigher’s books, “One Day on Beetle Rock,” Is adult fiction about animals (it is in the Juneau Public Library) and it was to get material about the animals of the Territory that she came to Alaska last year. With a two-year Guggenheim Fel- lowship, Miss Carreigher is doing research on animals of the north and though her work is written as fiction she is as meticulous in her presentation of scientific detail as if she were writing for students in- stead of the general public . . . all of which takes time, and gives Miss Carreigher an opportunity to spend it in Alaska which she considers a second home. NAVY PLANS NEW ATOMIC-POWERED UNDERSEA CRAFT ‘WASHINGTON, April 25 — (A — The Navy today disclosed plans to build radically new type sub- marines—one to be atomic powered —and to convert a cruiser into a guided missile combat vessel. These construction plans werc made known in a request to Con- gress for authority to build 112 ves- sels of varying types. Adm. Forrest Sherman, Chief of Naval Operations, told the House Armed Services Committee the rec- ommendations were put before Sec- retary of Defense Johnson on Feb. 13. Sherman said the proposed pro- gram would cost $335,000,000. AT THE GASTINEAU Guests registered at the Gas- tineau Hotel are: T. W, Shaw, Haines; Lt. D, M. Herr and Lt. D. 8.
