WILLIAM POWELL TAKES PART OF
 BOND SALESMAN
Star Plays Role of Wildcat Promoter in High Pres
 sure' at the Coliseum

William Powell is at the Coli scum Theatre in High Pressure, ' his second Warner Bros. and Vita phone starring vehicle, made his first screen appearance as the villain in Sherlock Holmes" with John Barrymore.
 From then on ne remained in films with brief returns to the stage. He has steadily won fla vor in many films in which he was either the suave man of the world or the tattered outcast. It was the, advent of talking pie lures which, by adding the magne- tism of the voice to his other talents, made his rise to stardom swift and sure.
 High Pressure" presents. him in breathtaking comedy character ization as blue sky stock sales man, and wildcat promoter, who hits the high spots of the Big Town, and whether drunk or sober, is nonchalant and enthusiastically on the lookout for new adventures. Quite different from earlier por- trayals, the Gar Evans of MT, Powell is an actionful portrait, the sort that we all like.
 Those who support William Pow ell in High Pressure are Evelyn Brent, George Sidney, John Wray, Guy Gibbee, Evelyn Knapp, Polly Walters, Frank McHugh, Luis Wal 1 dridge.

Million Dollar Legs To- night and Joe. E. Brown
 in 'Tenderfoot' Sunday

{ Million Dollar Legs" Para mounts depression chasing comedy which opened last night at the Capitol Theatre and kept the. au- dience hilarious during an even- Sing of delightful entertainment will be seen at that theatre again tonight
 Set against the timely back ground of the 1892 Olympic Games the story purports to tell of the heroic achievements of a gallant little band of athletes from Klop- stokia, which is located somewhere . in the Polish corridor, just across the Austrian border. These boys ran so fast they trip over fright ened rabbits and have to hurdle fleeing deer and jump so high they would fill mountain goats with envy. The one fly in the oint- ment is the blond charmer, Nata Marchee, determined for politica, reasons that they shall not win and stacks the cards against them when the hero steps in-but you must see the outcome for yourself and laugh and chuckle at their antics.
 i One of the finest casts of com edians assembled for any one pie ture helps make this picture one of the most amusing seen in years Jack Oakie heads the cast of fun makers which also includes w. c Fields, Andy Clyde, Lyda Roberti Hank Mann, Ben Turpin, George Barbier, Hugh Herbert, little Dick ie Moore and the beautiful Susan Fleming.

SAYS MINING INDUSTRY
 s U R E TO IMPROVE

Optimism regarding the fu- ture of the mineral recession suffered in the past few years is voiced in the Bureau of Mines Year Book for 1932-33.
 The report asserts that the consumption of minerals cen- not be suppressed indefinitely as a steady rise in living stand ards is made possible through increased utilization of miner- als and metals, and as the rise of standards increase. con- sumption must follow suit.
 The report states that the mineral industries employ over 100000 men, who furnish over half of the tonnage hand led by the railroads.

 FLOOD PROJECT

That Alaska Delegate A. J.

 "This will acknowledge re- ceipt of your letter of Septem- Der 7, addressed to the Seer. = tary, regarding flood control on the Salmon River and Val deg glacier stream.

 Commenting on the mess ,.e in a letter to the Chamber of Commerce, Delegate Dimond says he does not know the cause for the delay, but some how or other no action has been taken.

Says Prohibition Repeal
 Will Not Affect Alaska

The repeal of the eighteenth amendment will not affect Alaska in the opinion of Attor- ney general Homer s. Cum ming,.
 In statement on the subject this week the attorney general said he was of the opinion that after repeal of the eighteenth amendment the Volstead Act would still be in full force a. I effect in the District of Coium- bia, Alaska and other terri or ies.
 It was explained that these districts are under the juris- diction of congress, which alone can effect changes il. the Volstead law as it applies to them.
 The statement makes no mention of the fact that Alas ka is also under the Alaska bone dry law, in addition to the Volstead act and until the bone dry act is repealed by Congress cannot become wet, regardless of the application of the Vol stead act. The action of the last Alaska legislature in re- pealing the bone dry law does not remove it's inhibitions in any degree, and can be regard ed only as a jesture of disap- proval, inasmuch as the legis- lature has no power to repeal an act of Congress.

PRESIDENT ANNOUNCES
 MONETARY POLICY

A managed money policy for the United States and the cre- ation of government gold market as the main features of a new financial policy was an- nounced Sunday evening by President Franklin D. Roose- welt in a national radio ad- dress.
 Following is a summarize tion of the new policy as outlined by the President:
 Restoration of the price level of basic commodities is the for most objective. This must be accomplished before any at- tempt will be made to revalue the dollar.
 When the price level is re- stored, the next objective will be ''to maintain a dollar which will not change its purchasing and debt-paying power during the succeeding generation"
 Owing to conditions in this country and because of events beyond our control in other parts of the world, it becomes increasingly necessary to apply measures from time to time to control the gold value of our dollar at home, the, President said. Therefore the United States must take into it's own hands the control of the gold value of the dollar, to prevent dollar disturbances f r m swinging us away from our ul- timate goal-the continued re- covery of commodity prices.
 To achieve this control of the gold value of the dollar, the government market for gold will be established under the administration of the Recon struction Finance Corporation, which will buy gold newly mined in the United States at prices to be determined from time to time
 Whenever necessary to the end in view, we shall also buy and sell gold in the world mar ket," MT. Roosevelt said.
 This procedure will permit the government to establish and maintain continuous con- trol of the dollar value and pre- vent sudden depression of com modity prices in the United States through sudden rises in the foreign exchange market.
 The purchase and sale of gold in the world market will enable control of the dollar value abroad, in the same manner as Great Britain controlled the pound value after leaving the gold standard.
 This policy will definitely make gold the servant of the commodity producers and is characterized by financial ex- perts as the first step in a vast inflationary move, the object of which is.higher price levels for basic goods.
