a vote.
It provided that a book be given,
at the governments expense, to
each naturalized citizen with his cit

Hollywood has often giggled over
parties where none of the guests
were interested in meeting the guest
of honor, but this was the first time
on record when the host and the
guest of honor weren't speaking. His
attentions to Janet Gaynor and Lor-

caused it.

bia, the staff is daily more amazed
to find Grace Moore agreeing whole
heartedly with every suggestion the
director makes. Incidentally, John
Ford has an effective way of
squelching actors who want to play
scenes their way instead of taking
his direction. If an actor grows ar
gumentative, he lets him go ahead
and play the scene his way. Then
he rips the film out of the camera,
hands it to the stubborn thespian
and says, "You can have it. No
one else would want to see it."

The daffiest picture of the week
is RKO's "Super Sleuth." You
couldn't find better hot-weather en-
tertainment anywhere. Jack Oakie
provides the laughs, expertly aided
by Ann SOthern, but it is the story
that really deserves loud cheers. /
don't want to spoil it for you by
telling too much, but you won't
mind knowing that it is the story of
a movie star who specializes in de-
tective roles.
Ann Sothern's career, in the dol
drums lately because of second
rate pictures, has suddenly picked
up and no one is happier than her
close friend, Joan Bennett. If you
heard Ann spouting Shakespeare on
that best of all summer programs,
Charlie Mccarthy aided and abetted
by Edgar Bergen, you know that she
has a sense of comedy that should
put her up in the front ranks of
high comedy with Claudette Colbert
and Carole Lombard.

JUNEAU MINING MAN BACK FROM
 COODNEWS AREA

Art Thane, representative for the International Nickel Co., returned to Juneau on the Yukon after 10 days spent in the Goodneys Bay mining region.
 "The country looks good and the next few years will see lot of de- velopment there,' said Thane. "The big future lies in gold, however, rather than in platinum"
 While in the section, Thane saw Joe Hill, Juneau man who is pros- pecting there, and reports that Hill has put down a lot of :scles and covered lot of ground with some fairly good results. .4
 A story came out of Goodnews Bay recently, about prospectors get ting swamped with proposals from women who think the region one of running wealth, but Thane, who has been getting the blame for the story, says he had nothing to do with it.

FIRE REMAINS
 AID HUNT FOR
 LOST SOLDIER
Private Wurts of Chilkool Barracks Believed Safe
 in Fishing Boat

Discovery of the remains or a re- cent camp fire and newly chopped log added impetus today in the search for Private Niles B. Wurts, 2l-year ar-old soldier from Chilkoot Barracks, who has been lost on the Duffield Peninsula since October 2l.
 As result of the discovery, of ficers who have been searching for Wurts for the past several days to- day announced their belief that he has been rescued by a fishing boat since the fire was discovered near the shore. No word would have been received yet in the event of such discovery, since the nearest radio station is at Sitka, many miles dis tant from where the camp fire was found.
 Six soldiers are continuing the search on Duffield Peninsula The Torrance, Chilkoot Barracks ten der, which left Juneau for Haines this morning. is expected to return to Duffield Peninsula tomorrow with additional men to aid in the search.
 Private Wurts, accompanied by Corporal Albert McGilbra, left other members of a small Chilkoot hunt ing party on October 21 to take a short walk back in the woods. When i McGilbra decided to return tc camp, Wurts said T think I'll walk to the end of the ridge, and then come back in few minutes Wurts has not been seen since then.
 With high winds preventing saft air travel, no plane was scheduled to attempt search for Wurts today but both Marine Airways and AL aska Air Transport will be on the lookout when weather conditions improve.
 The Torrance, commanded by Major Kirby Green and Lieuten. ant D. A. McPharon, left for Chil- koot Barracks this morning after picking up Capt. A. R. Nichols here While in Juneau, the vessel took on oil and sawdust

The biggest job Coach Jimmy Crowley has at Fordham this fall is to find a replacement for Anay Palau at quarter.
 Tt will take at least two men to fill Andy's job and I'll tell you why" said the Ram coach.
 He wasn't called Handy Andy for nothing. That kid did every thing for us. He called the plays, blocked, kicked and passed. That's why l say I need at least two men to replace him.
 We haven't a man among the backfield candidates who boasts such versatility A few of the lads can do two things fairly well. But in most instances they are limited to one Joe Woitkoski, for example, is our best booter but Joe doesn't come up to specifications in running or passing. There isn't triple threat on the squad, much less a lad capable of quadruple duties.
 What we are trying to do is fit in quarterback who can think and block. That will take care of two Palau assets-if we find the lad who qualities. Then we'll try to fit in a left halfback who can run and pass. That should cover the other qualifications. Of course both of these positions will have to be manned by players who can de- fend against a pass. That sounds like large order and it is.
 We have couple of quarter backs here. George Mcknight and Butch Fortunate. Mcknight has plenty of experience and if he'll only learn not to gamble at the wrong time. he may do. He is a fair blocker and passer-no Palau but fair. Fortunate has fine pos abilities, but he lacks experience.
 You can't count Woitkoski out for the left halfback berth. Al Cur ske is a savage tackler and fine defender against passes. but his running and passing are not up to par. Johnny Beale, junior, is another lad who may step into the job"
 Fordham was .sorely in need of good, shifty ball-carrier last year.
  It looks as if the Rams are in the same predicament this season.
