Prohibition Repeal Is
 Approved By Congress

By a vote of 289 to 121, the House of Representatives ap- proved repeal of the 18th Amendment, it was announced Monday in radio reports.
 The repeal resolution was passed by the Senate last week and the action of the House sends the prohibition question back to the states for ratifica- ton or rejection of repeal. Presidential approval is not re- quired. However, the repeal proposal must be ratified by three-fourths (36) of the forty eight states before it becomes effective. Conventions sum- moned by each state must pass on the resolution, instead of the state legislatures.
 Thirten states can block rati- fication, either by adverse vote or failure to act.

Princess Sophia" Claims
 Rejected By Supreme Court

What is probably the final chapter in the famous Princess Sophia claims case was written in Washington last week when the Supreme Court refused to review a lower court decision under which relatives of 200 passengers lost in the sinking of the steamer Princess Sophia in Lynn Canal in 1918 were barred from collecting damag- es. The ship sank with 294 passengers and 61 crew after striking a reef. Damage claims instituted totaled two million dollars but the courts disal- lowed all but 13 claims and granted the Canadian Pacific steamship company a limited liability.

New Alaska Election
 Date Tn Pros sp e c t

Discussing the effects of the "lame duck" amendment to the Constitution, the Juneau En- pire notes that the provision requiring the new Congress to convene January 3 instead of on March 4, may necessitate a change in Alaskan election dates. "A NJ
 The journal points out that under the 1881 election code canvass of the election returns is not required to be completed until as late as February 20, in order to permit ample time for receipt of returns from the more remote precincts. But when Congress shall meet in the first week in January the Alaska delegate to Congress cannot under the present Terri torial statute, take his seat un- til as long as two months after Congress has convened. In other words, until the Territor- ial canvass has been completed and election certificates are is- sued by the Canvassing Board. This would mean that the Territory would be two months without representation and at time when Congress is form ulating appropriations for the Territory.
 The Empire points out two ways in which the difficulty can be remedied. The first is by requiring h e Canvassing Board to complete it's work long enough before January 1 to permit the delegate to reach Washington in time for the converting session. This, how ever, would require at times 1 that the Board act before the results of the election were def initely determined n d tt risk having to reverse it's de cision in the event of very close elections. The second method suggested by the Empire woulc be to advance the date of the election from the first Tuesday in November to the first Tues day in September, thus giving ample time for returns to bf received by the middle of De cember. Either of these chang
 es can be made by the Terri
 torial Legislature.

ACTION ON SILVER
 IN NEXT SESSION

ES week to table all bills before it providing for the free coinage of silver on ratio of 16 to l, but appointed a special com mittee to draft a measure pro- viding for the auxiliary use of silver as a monetary reserve, according to Washington re- ports. The vote killing the free coinage bills included the so-called Wheeler bill, which was recently rejected by the Senate in connection with the Glass banking bill.
 The action of the committe was taken after a long series of hearings on the silver quest ion, which included testimony by Senators Wheeler and Pitt man; the sponsors of a large number of House measures for utilization of silver, Francis H. Brownell, noted silver advo- cate, John H. Janney, presi- dent of the American Society of Practical Economists, also a silver advocate, and others prominent in economic and if nancial circles.
 Discussing the situation fol- lowing the appointment of the special committee to draft a bill for auxiliary use of silver, chairman Somers, said the principal points to be worked out by the subcommittee will be means of regulating silver deposits with the treasury and protecting the treasury from dumping.
 The plans of the committee as tentatively worked out are to have bill which would provide for the purchase of a limited amount of silver at the market price and the issuance against this silver of certifi- cates redeemable in silver in an amount equal to the gold price of silver at the time o1 redemption. This method Is designed to prevent increase ol decrease in the value of silver currency with the fluctuation2 in the price of silver and k said to be aimed to avoid the difficulty inherent in a pro posed bimetallic base wherein the public tends to use the cheaper money and hoard tht dearer money. The plan is als( intended to stabilize silvel rather than to raise it's price.
 Chairman Somers said hi was certain there were enougl votes in his committee to ap prove a bill to make silver monetary reserve for legal ten der. Somers believes that un der a measure of the suggested character silver in the frs three months would comman' 40 cents an ounce; in the nex three months, 50 cents; in tn next three months 60 cents and from that on there woul be an increase of one-half or

'GoId Diggers" 10
 Play al Alhambra

A new type of film drama! That is what has been created by Direc- Bros production of Gold Diggers of 1933," which comes to the Al ,hambra theater on Tuesday for three days. This type of picture had it's forerunner in "42nd Street" but "Gold Diggers" is said to en- tirely eclipse it in the sheer force of it's drama, in comedy situations, it's catchy song hits and novelty and beauty of it's gigantic and spectacular dance ensembles.
 The most difficult problem that confronted Director LeRoy was the proper balance of music and drama so that each would be distinct show in itself and yet blend to- gether in such way as to form an intrinsic part of an integral whole. He solved the difficulty by putting on the screen the entire theatrical production with its songs and dances and gigantic choruses. which they play could only hint at.
