Howard Duff fits into the role of | the line American in the cosmopol- itan cast as naturally and effort- lessly as he does into the casual sporis jackets he wedrs off the set| in Hollywood. Lovely Marta Toren, the Swedish | importation, playing opposite Duff for the second time in her three- year Hollywood career, is as per- fectly cast, in her role of cnnlinm-‘ tal charmer living by her wits in the British Intelligence Service. The plot of “Spy Hunt” is laden with suspense from the moment an intelligence operative secretes a tiny | roll of microfilm *in a cigaret until| Miss Toren blinds another opera- tive with flashing gunpowder and | finds herself engaged to Duff. Columbia’s “The Devil's Hench- man,” starring Warner DBaxter is) the second feature at the Capitol, It | is a tingling melodrama crackling | with suspense and set amid the murky background of a murderous waterfront locale. Baxter, unlike the usual suave characterization of | the polished psychiatrist of his | “Crime Doctor” pictures, is cur-| | rently portraying a low nautical | | character who scrounges for a living | | by marine salvage. | | I . \Homocide Verdid By Cerazer's Jury In Wrangeli Case | A coroner's jury at Wrangell yes-r terday returned a verdict of “death | |at the hands of person or per- | |sons unknown” in the slaying of | Henry Bradley, of Wrangell, whose | | stabbed body was found Thanks- | | giving Day in the bay. | | Bradley had been missing since | the Sunday before Thanksgiving | | after having attended a party at a | Wrangell home. Investigating offic- {ers have been questioning some 40 persons who attended the party | |and others about possible know- | ledge of the knifing of Bradley, but ! no arrests have been made. U. S. Deputy Marshal Jack Krepps | 'was quoted after the body had been | |found as saying an arrest could) |be expected “momentarily.” The widow and seven children sur- vive Bradley, a Wrangell fisherman. | CALL FOR BID | ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Nov. 27—/ | ®—An invitation to bid on the| | construction of an. automotive | maintenance facility in the Alaskan | Command has been issued by the | Corps of Engineers.

Nelson, Fish and Wildlife biologist, has been look- ing sleep-eyed Jately, it is because he has been up night with a mar- ten, which not only performed a difficult escape act, but also robbed the animal expert’s store of Christ- mas apples. ! Nelson has been receiving the martens here from Petersburg and helping transpert them to Chichagof Island as ps of a program of federal aid wildlite restoration which he directing in Alaska. in is Whether .the little animal sensed his ultimate fate in becoming a piece of sable around some woman's neck, or whether he was disgusted at being removed from his home on the Stikine river, he nevertheless performed what was considered an impossible feat in chewing through and escaping in Nelson's basement. Nelson made many attempts to trap the marten—especially after it was evident that it had -taken a fancy to the apples Nelson was saving for Christmas. For two nights, at the slighest sound, Nelson would jump out of bed and rush to the basement of his home to try to re-catch the elusive escape artist. Early Sunday morning, Nelson | heard sounds which seemed to in- dicate that more apples were dis- appearing, and was in the basement with a whisk. It such a “whisk” that it frightened the marten right back into the cage from which it had escaped. Nelson had, with pre- vious thoughtfulness, repaired the cage. He flopped the opening closed and Mr. Marten was sgain in. his| prison—and furious about it, too Nelson..never. discovered for cer- tain where the animal’s hide-out was. He says he rushed the—well, he didn't say “marten”—out to Chichagof as soon as he could. That was Monday, and the spirit was not yet broken. The marten had already chewed another hole, but not one big enough to escape through. 1951 Puget Sound Salmon Pack Third Highest Since 1933 SEATTLE, Nov. 28 — (® — The state fisheries department reports that Puget Sound’s 1951 salmon pack is the third highest since 1933. Sockeye figures, although running second to pinks in veolume, carried. special interest. The sockeye pack was 119,864 cases this year. It compared with only 7,692 cases in 1947, which was the “parent year” for this year’s run. The sockeyes run in four-yearl cycles. ! A fisheries department spokesman said the 1947 catch was extremsly| small because of a subnormal run which led to imposing of tight fish- ing restrictions on sockeyes. The aim was to rebuild the size of the run. The total pack for all species,| through Nov. 17, was 662,473 cases. ‘The chum species season was still open. The pack last year was 384,311 cases. 20 Arrive on PNA; 16 Go Westward Thirty-six passengers flew in and out of Juneau Tuesday on Pacific Northern Airlines. Twenty arrived | and 16 departed.

Then |comes the rain. Then comes a short respite, with Sullivan back at his apartment try- ing to gather together whatever belongings he can, still believing that he can make his escape from rival hoodlums. Needless to say, he was thoroughly drenched again before this scene, to simulate the effect of the rainstorm through which he had just come. In the final scene, as Sullivan is shot down, with rain pouring on his hatless and coatless form, the tempo of violence and doom is heightened when 850 gallons of water are poured onto the actor in virtually one swoop. It hits him with a wal- lop and keeps coming as he lies spread-eagled in the gutter.
