SAY TAX WILL NOT AFFECT
 SIZE OF MOVIE AUDIENCE.

LONDON, May II. - Managers of moving picture theatres do not believe that the new government war tax on their business will make any diff ference in the size of audiences. The tax is to be regulated by the size of the admission fees.
 There are approximately 4,50O pie -ture theatres now open in the United Kingdom, or a thousand less, perhaps, than there were before the war These include theatres of all sizes, from those possessing seating accommo- dation of 200 to those accommodating 2,0O0 or more Reckoning the average daily attendance at each .at 800 and the average admission price as six pence (12 eents) per head, the tax would bring in total daily revenue of G90,O00
 Excluding Sunday shows, which are not general, the total for a week would amount of G54,OOO which for whole year would be increased to about e28,OOO.OOO.

 GUESS

The Following interview with Louis P. Shackleford appeared in the Ia coma News of May 6:
 James Wickersham probably will not be reelected as delegate to con gress from Alaska, said Louis F. Shackleford, of Juneau, who arrived in Tacoma today on his way to the Republican national convention.
 MT. Wickersham refused the mo- imitation when it became apparent that the regulars controlled the per manent committees" said MT. Shack leford. He probably thought the convention would be flooded with Wickershamites and was disappointed when this was found not to be the case
 The Alaska convention was held in Seward. April 19. There were 3S delegates present, representing 2sO Republican votes. and 60 progressives. Wickersham may think he has enough progressives to get him the office. but if he does think so. l believe he is mistaken.
