Hyde Box 4 Juneau*: THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE-JUNEAU, ALASKA CAPITOL THEATRE IS NOW SHOWING ROMANTIC DRAMA | Charm and distinction feature “Enchantment,” Samuel Goldwyn's newest screen masterpiece for RKO | Radio release, which came to the | Capitol Theatre yesterday. David Niven, Teresa Wright, Evelyn Keyes, and Farley Granger have the stellar roles in this de- lightfully-told tale of two love af- fairs that take place half a century apart, but both in the same setting a stately and gracious old London home. A young British his father’s pretty d are the principals in the earlier romance, | which never culminates because of | family jealousy. But by the time the young officer has become a retired |and embittered General, he finds | himself an interested spectator of the second romance, between his | American grand-niece and the | nephew of his old fiance. At the | crucial moment he triumphantly steps in to keep the pair from suf- | fering the same frustration that he | did. | Niven and Miss Wright turn in | brilliant performances in the earlier | episode, Miss Keyes, as the Ameri- can girl, and Granger, as the nep- hew, also deliver finely as the mo- dern romantic duo. Jayne Meadows" work as Niven’s domineering sister stands out in the supporting cast. ;Alaska Gopers Stage Kickoff For (ampaign (Continued from Page 1) subaltern and | assistant to the Governor totaled 1$14,500 a year. This would make Sundborg the highest salaried gov- ernment employee in the Territory. | White then added that the investi- :gawrs proved that certain legisla- ‘tors who had passed upon bills for lvariuus bureau offices have been hired by the bureau at very high | prices and said one senator is re- ported to have received about $45,000 | for looking over the water rights | for the territory. Another member |of the house, White continued, re- | ceived about $5800 for fees for |looking into the matter of titles. | This he pointed out should be the | duty of the Attorney General and | the business conducted by the sena- tor should be performed by the highway engineer. Officials Lax “In other words,” White said, “we have elected officials to do this work but they do not do it. Instead they hire members of the legislature with, I think, one proviso. They must be a Democrat and not the ordinary Democrat but one that has the blessing of .this administration!” To illustrate this point White said | the veterans board has had to bring |a nimber of suits to collect debts due them. Instead of having court action brought by the attorney gen- eral, whose duty is it to handle the legal affairs of the territory, the board hired attorneys and spent thousands of dollars for this work. The highway engineer has done the same, he added. In each instance, he pointed out, “those hired were either ' members of the legislature or those who know what it means to be an administra- tion Democrat.” The Orgnic Act, White continued, prohibits mem- bers of the legislature from making a profit on- legislation that they have voted for, Palmer Airport Deal Next point brought out in White’s speech was the fact that the ter- ritory had involved over $150,000 in an airport site at Palmer and An- chorage and had bought land at the rate of $1,172 per acre. Matching funds from the federal government was involved in this deal and inas- much as 10 fimes the real value of the land was paid ‘Sentor Hugh But- ler has placed the facts before the | Senate and White predicted agents would soon be investigating this af- fair. Turning his attention to Ketchi- kan White then lashed out at what he termed “another administration mouthpiece and supporter.” The Ketchikan Chronicle, he said, re- ceived several thousands of dollars from the Alaska Development Board and the statehood commit- tee for printing. No bids were called for he chargeéd and said while other territorial boards complied with the law by advertising for bids, this paper was paid thousands of dol- lars and no other competitor was allowed a chance to bid even though they also pay taxes. The reason for this, he continued, “js that this paper will be found giving all out support to the admin- istration and has never once crit- icized administration action.” In Sorry Mess “The aska laws,” White con- tinued, “provide that the Governor of Alaska shall look into the con- duct of the officers of the territorial government. It goes without saying that he does not do so!” “I cannot disclose to you at this time all that the investigating com- mittee has been able to uncover but I can say the Territory is in a sorry mess. Many feel that we should spend according to our budget, others feel that higher prices make it necessary for some increase in |wxes. but no one feels the money they pay should be stolen, wasted or thrown away, without an effort being made to stop it. Our affairs should be conducted on the same basis as any paying business!” Turns on National Guard Turning his attention to the Na- tional Guard White charged that the administration was using even this organization for political pur- poses. “Up in Nome,” he said, “there is & man named Marsden, this man was put on the National Guard as Colonel Marsden at a salary of to take the Es- kimo vote to the polls. Not the Re- publican vote, of that you can be sure. He performed that task before he became a colonel in the National Guard. Now as a colonel, and at that salary, he can do wonders for the administration. Of course the taxpayers foot the bill for Marsden’s salary. White concluded his speech by branding Senator Frank Peratro- vich an “administration supporter and an advocate of higher taxes” and urged the voters of the terri- tory to support Republican candi- dates in the general election to re- turn the territory to “good, sound, sensible government.” Republican candidates for the Territorial House, Ralph A. Bar- Lholo;new, and Clyde Peterson, both made interesting talks and pledged themselves to sound economical government if elected to office. Mel Roe, president of the Ket- chikn Republican club, was master of ceremonies at the banquet and concluded the meeting by urging the Republicans to carry on the fight to a showdown at the polls. CHANGE MADE IN FEDERAL AIRPORT ACT: UP TO HOUSE WASHINGTON, July 27 — ) — The Senate passed and sent to the House yesterday a bill to repeal provisions of the Federal Airport Act which limit the Federal share of land costs to 25 per cent. This would permit the Federal share of land costs to be the same as for other airport, project costs, with the exception of high inten- sity runway lighting. In non-public lands states, under the 'hill, the maximum Federa! share would be 50 per cent, a com- mittee report said. In public lands states it would range from 51.39 to 625 per cent; and in Alaska and the Virgin Islands would be 75 per cent.
