Some time ago, at the request 0
Delegate limond and national OF
ficers of several of the railroa'
hrotherhoods, Secretary of the In
terror Ickes asked Comptroller Gen
eral McCarl for a ruling upon tn
contention advanced by The Dele
gate and the brotherhood Officers
that operating employers Of the Al
aska Railroad were performing
their duties as the result OF cons
tracts entered into with the gov
eD1ment, were not federal employ
The Daily Alaska empire. [volume] (Juneau, Alaska) 1926-1964, 1934-01-18

ees in the established meaning Of
that term and accordingly should
not be subject to salary reductions.
Mr.. McCarl subsequently ruled
that ANY contract or employment
by an agency Of the federal gov
eminent is subject to any change
or condition which the Congress
may see fit to make applicable
therato. The employees of the Al
aska Railroad are rendering serv-
ice in or under a branch of the
federal government and are, there
fore, subject to the percentage de-
auctions required by the economy
acts" Is.
With that ruling before him, Mr..
Dimond has concluded that if OPP
Grating employees of the railroad
are to classified with other federal
employees they ought to be entitled
to all the rights of the latter
group. He has, with that object in
view, taken up with Secretary
Ickes the matter of proper CLASH
fication and in letter addressed
to the Secretary says in part:
Does it not logically 1oiiow
and, indeed, necessarily follow that
since these transportation employ
ees of the Alaska Railroad are en-
ployees of the United States with
in the ordinary meaning of that
term land that seems to be tn.
meaning adopted by the Comp
troller General in constituting ths
Economy Act of 1889, they are
entitled to the benefits heretofore
conferred by law upon employees
of the United States with respect
to sick leave, annual leave with
pay, and retirement insurance? AL
of these special benefits for Unit
ed States employees have hereto
fore been denied transportation en-
ployees in the service of the Alas
ka Railroad.
In view of the late decision Of
the Comptroller General with re-
gard to the employees in question
respectfully request that propsr
and adequate steps be taken SC
that the transportation employees
in the service of the Alaska Rail-
road may at least in the future re-
ceive sick leave, annual leave with
/ pay, and retirement insurance in
the same manner and at the same
rates as other employees of the
United States"

Several wires and letters have
come to Delegate Dimond asking
him to protest to the Federal Ra-
do Commission against possible a.
limitation of news broadcasts by
Pacific coast radio stations.
In a conference with Commits
sioner Lafount of the Radio Com
mission, Mr.. Dimond learned that
the federal agency has no jurisdic-
ton at all with respect to this
situation. 1t is private matter be-
tween newspapers, news-gathering
organizations and radio stations.
Recently there have been indi-
cations that these differences vii
be patched up to the extent thai

GANGSTER PICTURE
COLUMBIA FEATURE
"The Gay Bride" Stars Carole
Lombard and Chester Morris
in Story of Underworld.


1t seems there was young lady
named Mary, who, when but child,
was forced to endure the narrowing
strains of poverty, and this truly la
mentable circumstance turned her in
later years into a platinum-tressed
precious metal excavator. who loved
neither wisely nor well nor nearly SO
profitably as she had planned. This,
ladies and gentlemen, Is THE Gay
Bride" now at the Columbia
This also is somewhat of a gangster
film, not because Charles Francis Coe
wrote a magazine story about the
effects of repeal on the intricate task
of operating chain of speakeasies,
through which he wove the antics of
our Mary, for the M. G. M adaptation
is merely the saga of Mary, but it is a
gangster film because the successive
victims of the young lady's chisel are
gentlemen of the underworld. The
gangland gentlemen withstand very
well the strain of the intended satire
on their business, and are no end
pleasant about rubbing out" certain
other gentlemen of their ilk who get
in the way. But 1.-THE Gay Bride" for
the most part lets these criminally-
minded chaps go their ways of assas-
sination and concentrates on the task
Of finally reaching a conclusion by
having Mary achieve happiness by
marrying fellow and mortgaging his
garage. It is all very touching, this
story of Merry Widow Mary"
Carole Lombard, a handsome sight,
portrays the silver-topped mercenary
lassie, achieving the correct note of
unbounded dumbness. Chester Morris
does a more tolerable job as the chap
with whom Mary finally is Joined in
married bliss after much sullen mutual
hate. zazu Pitts provides merriment
whenever she has opportunity, which
perhaps Is too seldom, and Leo Garlic,
Sam Hardy and Nat Pendleton do
equally well in the concerted effort by
the cast to overcome "story trouble. 4"

Musical Films Hit New
High in Feature at Fox
Music in the Air. Starring John Boles and
Gloria Swanson, Has About Everything
to Make 1t Popular.

M bined-not into what goes
Vl under the head of musical
i i comedy-but into what comes
under the category of an Al
show at the Loew's Fox this week. A
fast-moving and tuneful version of the
Jerome Kern-Oscar Hammerstein op-
eretta, Music in the Air" amply sup
piled with humor, Is the screen at
traction, while five song-hit writer's
zip across tunes they composed to
headline first-rate stage program.
With Gloria Swanson and John
Boles in no more than supporting
roles Of a musical romance that has
melody built through it, around it,
over 1t and under it, Music in the
Air" hits a new high in unpretentious
cinema musicals and serves as a me-
dunn for the debut Of June Lang (who
is pretty in nice, blond way and
sings) and for bringing stalwart
Douglass Montgomery to the fore in
the kleigh-ight art.
As temperamental operatta artists,
Miss Swanson, flighty prima donna,
and Mr.. Boles, a balmy lyric writer,
the two so-called principals turn in a
crack-brained pair Of performances
that are more reminiscent Of two
of Ted Healy's stooges than the allur-
ing Gloria and the staid Mr.. Boles. Be
that as it may, their antics, especially
in tearing asunder their producers
Office to put on an extemporaneous
operatta scene for no good reason at
all, supply most Of the comedy for
the picture.
The scenes are in Bavaria, where
you can feel music in the atmosphere,
and In Munich where Villagers June
Lang and Doug Montgomery go with
her father to get his operatta score
produced. At Munich a clash of tenn
peraments splits up the team of Swan
son and Boles, so that she turns to the
couIhry youth for a new attraction

WHEELER AND
WOOLSEY in
LAUGH FILM
: Plenty of Fun in Ken
tucky Kernels" the
Picture at Keith's.

After a few months abstinence
from the efforts of Messrs. Wheeler
and Woolsey it is a pleasant surprise
to find that their mildly insane antics
can provide plenty of fun. This
Kentucky Kernels" film at Keith's
offers much to arouse the risibilities.
1t is a dizzy tale Of feudin' Ken
tuckians and the difficulties thrust
upon the two nit-wits Of screendom
when they inadvertently walk in upon
the scene with one Spanky, supposed
heir to both a plantation and half of
the feud. There are Spanky's fond
ness for tinkling sound of breaking
glass, gun-play galore, horse which
dips its nose into a pail which had
just recently been removed from the
far end of a still and then takes
Wheeler and Woolsey plunging on
wild ride through the mountains, an
almost military" wedding and in
Vulnerable other idiocies of the two
comedians, to provide a high quota
of chuckles and even tolerable num-
Der of good, rousing laughs.
There is but one musical number
in Kentucky Kernels" thing called
"Just One Little Kiss" which seems
to have been dragged in by the heels
when no one was looking. 1t Is well
presented, however and displays Bert
Wheeler singing to Mary Carlisle in
the fashion in which only Bert
Wheeler can sing, Noah Beery inton-
ing the same song into the ear Of an
cient Aunt Hannah, Spanky singing
to his dog, and bespectacled Bob
Woolsey grooming Just One Little
kiss to a juvenile mule.
Wheeler and Woolsey play Ken
lucky Kernels" with a gay abandon
and while they have been better, they
also have been much worse. Here,
too, they have the assistance of an
able supporting cast, led by Spanky
Mcfarland, who has what it takes to
be almost any ones favorite child
star. Then there are a dusky lad
called Sleep n Eat, which sounds
more like an ambition than a name;
Noah Beery, who plays the old Ken
lucky colonel, wearing pair of can
mons with his full dress suit, and Mary
Carlisle, a young lady who does as
well as could any ingenue with the
role. The film was directed by George
Stevens.
The program at Keith's also in
cludes a news reel review of the past
year and a well-tinted and enjoyable
color rhapsody. H. M.
