LOOSE ANKLES <. AT COLISEUM
 THEATRE TWICE
Juneau Drama Club Com edy Will Be Presented
 Tomorrow Night

Juneau theatregoers today looked forward with anticipation-to re- vival of the legitimate stage here tomorrow and Wednesday nights as Loose Ankles" Juneau Drama Club three act comedy, is presented at the Coliseum Theatre.
 Not for two years has the living drama" been presented here, except in high school productions. Popular prices for both adults and children give an added reason for the antici- patton that large audiences will wit ness both productions.
 The play, Loose Ankles" is lightly and humorously written by Sam Janney and centers around the adventures of a headstrong girl, Ann Harper, who is naturally at tractive, but made doubly so by the fact that she inherits a large sum of money upon the death of her grandmother.
 Relatives Anxious
 The play deals, in the first two acts, with two different groups One group includes Ann's relatives, bent on forcing her to marry in order that, according to the demands of the will, they may receive their shares of the will.
 The other group contains three wise-cracking "hoofers," or dancing boys. How the two groups are brought together in the third act, and with what result, provides an amusing climax to Loose Ankles"
 Preceding and between acts, a 12- piece orchestra will provide musical interludes. The overture will be Selections from 'Firefly'" by Friml; High Jinksn by Friml; out of the Dusk to You" by D. Lee; and ''Nola' by Felix Arndt.
 Here's Orchestra
 Included in the orchestra are: Mrs. Frank Dufresne, Miss Edna Reinhart, Marie Bussinger, Thomas Hellan, violins; Frank Foster, viola; Art Babcock, cello; Fred Galliman and George Hath, clarinet; Ed Gar nick, cornet; Chester Tripp, trom- bone; Elmer A. Friend, drums; Hell en Torkelson, piano; and Mrs. Rob- ert Livie, director.
 It was announced today that, al though a public ticket sale has been held for two weeks, tickets may be purchased at the Coliseum Theatre box cffice before both performances tomorrow and Wednesday nights.

BONUS BILLS ARE CAUSING
 MUCH CONCERN
Harrison Bill Probably Re jected in Favor of
 One by Patman

WASHINGTON, May 6.-With the Senate apparently determined to reject the Harrison bill in favor of full immediate cash payment. Dem ocratic leaders considered strategy which might make it easier to kill resulting legislation by a veto.
 The leaders debated the wisdom of quietly throwing full strength to the Patman bill arguing that a veto of the Patman measure could be sustained in the Senate while it would be difficult to uphold the veto of the Vinson bill.

MODIFICATION OF

The utilization plan was modi-
fled by q second amendment to al
low the secretary's discretion in
determining whether all parties
should be compelled TO enter uni
tixation. AS originally drafted, there
was no alternative.
An amendment that is being hot
" contested, known as Section %,
provides that all carriers shall be-
come comnson purchasers, compelled
to buy ratably. providing their pipe
lines cross government lands.
A fourth amendment offers a
slight modification that II Wild
cater brings in an Old field he
shall be granted one year In which
to qualify to accept his leases on
government land
Although 1t abolishes the original
leasing law, the new measure stih
provides a limit per permit Of 1850
acres on any one structure with a
q maximum of three permits in the
state. However, all permits shall
be put np for public auction, SINH
lar to the present method for state
leases, and the government vial re-
tain a I2h % royalty in every In
stance, whereas one fourth Of the
area formerly was allowed With a
SCI royalty to the government, the
added IN % royalty serving as q
reward to the prOspector who
brought about q discovery on gov

vor major companies in It's present
