 It is reported that the plane being used by the Soviet flier is an amphibian equipped with both wheels and skis.
 Chief pilot Fahrig was the mechanic for Commander Maur- ice Slipnev in the Junkers plane which accompanied the body of Colonel Ben Eielson and Earl Borland who were killed in an airplane crash in Siberia in 1929, when they were flown back by pilot Joe Crosson. Although the Junkers plane did not land at Nome at that time, after taking off with the other planes from the searching base at Teller, the pilot of that plane, Commander Slipnev later came to Nome in 1884 to assist in flying passen- gers from a wrecked Soviet vess- el, to safety from the Arctic ice foes north of East Cape. He be- came well acquainted here at that time.

JUNEAU, March II,

JUNEAU, March II, - With Thursday, today, the last regular day of the legislative session both houses were primarily concerned over the appropriations bin late yesterday afternoon and today.
 Yesterday afternoon the senate was only half way through it and had slashed several thousand doll ars from it.
 The senate by a vote of four to three killed the approval of the Dimond bonding memorial. By a similar vote the senate killed the health and sanitation bill.
 The Walker finger print bill which passed the senate was ap- proved by the house, but with no appropriation. About seven thou sand dollars had been included to begin with.
 The senate was unable to over ride the governors veto of the bill which proposed that commls sioners who issue licenses, coll ect the license fees for the ter ritory and deduct the amount provided for their services and remit the balance to the treasur- CT.

along rather merry lines, but
never quite seems to arrive at
any given point. Aptly titled
is this piece.
Director Irving Cummings was
tremendously handicapped by
lack of sparkling personalities
and a bright yarn. He did, how
ever, manage to scatter the
laughs evenly and to build a
bang-up climax.
Brightest member Of the cast
is Joy Hodges, who makes much
of just an ordinary role. This
girl, who can really sing, is 60
ing places. She possesses not
only talent but an outstanding
personality.
The foursome of Lahr, Savo,
House and Auer represent a
vaudeville quartet. In their
spare moments, while not look
ing for engagements and dodg-
ing a lovesick landlady, they
raise an orphaned daughter Of
an aerial artist. The girl is in
love with a wealthy lad whose
aunt has a distaste for theatri-
cal folk. doesn't this original
plot just floor you?)
Alice Brady, Louise Fazenda,
John King, Barbara Read, Dave
Apollcn and others complete the
cast. The sets are unusually
drab. Lahr vows with a wood
chopper song near the finish.
Savo is outstanding with his
River, Stay Way From My

clicks nicely with her musical
numbers.

Doctors attending the mother
Of Michael Whalen declared to-
day that she probably con-

fan letter written to the actor
from Honolulu.
The sender Of the letter ad-
mittedly was suffering from the
disease.
Mrs. Whalen, handling her
sons fan mail in the absence
of his sister, who usually tends
to the Job, gave no more thought
to the possibility of contagion
than did the young girl who
was author of the letter.
But DR.. C. A. Seyfarth, studio
physician, today made the in.
cident the basis of a warning
about fan mail.
More serious diseases can be
communicated in this manner,
he said. AS a result, there is
talk in Hollywood Of disinfecting

pour in to the stars from all
parts Of the world.
