Woman Attorney Exposes Client,
 Capitol Cinema
Four Picture Veterans Sup ply Laughs for Spend
 thrift at Coliseum

The Law in Her Hands," a First National comedy drama combining laughter and dramatic thrills, comes Ito the Capitol Theatre today, with talented cast headed bv Mar garet Lindsay, Glenda Farrell, War ren Hull and Lyle Talbot. The plot is said to move with rapid action from the first sequence when bomb is dropped in a res taurant by a racketeer to the de- nouement in which the boss gang Ister is convicted of poisoning milk for babies and killing witnesses to cover up his tracks.
 The final court trial is sensa- tional, a woman lawyer turning her own racketeering client over to jus tice after he had kidnapped her and forced her to defend him by threats against her life, Other court trials are decidedly humorous.
 Misunderstanding pile up in the path of the two lovers and oppos- ing lawyers, roles played by Miss Lindsay and Hull, until the climax brings the solution to their knotty problem.
 Glenda Farrell aids and abets Miss Lindsay in her, nefarious, though hilarious tricks to free their racketeering clients. Chief of the gangsters is Lyle Talbot
 Others in the cast include Eddie Acuff, Dick Purcell, Al Shean, Jo- seph Crehan, Matty Fain, Addison Richards and Eddie Shubert. Will liam Clemens directed.
 A quartet of the screens out standing character actors, George Barbier, Halliwell Hobbes, Richard Carle and J. M. Kerrigan, pack merriment into the high-speed Wal ter Wanger comedy romance, "Spendthrift," at the Coliseum The atre.
 The picture has Henry Fonda. Pat Paterson and Mary Brian in leading roles, and tells the story of a millionaire playboy who had to lose twenty-three millions to find the right girl.
 With the running of the Ken lucky Derby as part of the plot, "Spendthrift" is comedy-romance revolving about the comeback staged by a wealthy youth after he has run through his fortune.

SURPLUS FISH MEASURE

The measure to make funds avail able to carry out the provisions of existing law authorizing the Fed eral Surplus Commodities Corpora tion to purchase surplus fish and fish products from normal trade channels passed the Senate April T. This bill passed the House on March 24, after being the subject of some debate in which the Dele gate entered in an effort to have an amendment inserted that would increase the appropriation from one 10 two million dollars. The bill was finally passed with the appropria- tion set at one million dollars, which was agreed to by some of the mem- bers, with the reservation that ad- djtional funds would be asked for later when needed.
 The Delegates primary interest in
 he bill was for the purpose of re- lieving the Alaska herring fisheries by having the Corporation take over and distribute part of the 1886 sur plus herring pack which is still on hand.

last month, and sufficient credence was recently given to them to cause breaks in the market prices, not only of gold, but of securities and fin- ally of wheat
 Some time ago the Delegate in quired of the Treasury Department about the policy anticipated, and, in the absence of Secretary Morgen- thau, one of the assistant secretar- ies said that no statement could be made. Yesterday a representative of the Associated Press called on the Delegate and asked his opinion of the probable effect of the reduction of the price of gold below $35 an ounce. The Delegate replied that he could only quote the statement made by Senator Thomas of Oklahoma which appeared in the New York Times of April 8, wherein the Sena- tor is reported to have said, 'If they start to deflate it will mean just one thing and that will be hell.' The Delegate pointed out that re- duction in the price of gold would be contrary to the poscy of the Ad- ministration from 1883 to the pres ent moment-that policy being one of reflation-and that now to lower the price of gold would send us a long way back on the road toward conditions that existed on March 4, 1883, and that, so far as he knows, the Administration contemplates no change of policy.
 Later, yesterday, the President, in answer to question propounded to him at press conference, stated that neither he nor the Treasury knew of any plan to lower the world price of gold. He suggested that such reports evidently originated in the foreign press.

ALASKA AIR STATION

Urging the early commencement of construction of the Army Air Corps station in Alaska, authorized by the Wilcox Air Defense Act, Delegate Dimond testified on April 8 before the subcommittee of the House Committee on Appropriations in charge of the Army supply bill for the fiscal year beginning July l, 1937.
 Showing the subcommittee, through the use of maps and charts, the great change in the relationship Alaska bears to the United States in the event of an attack from the west under modern methods of war fare, and the importance of pro- viding proper defense for the Ter ritory, he pointed out that to com plete the air base would require several years, which makes it the more urgent to provide funds now with which the project may be started. He requested that the ap- propriation bill under consideration be reported out with an item of 2 million dollars set up for the AL aska base, which would be sufficient to get the work well under way this year, and leaving the balance of the estimated 10 million dollars re- quired to construct the base to be provided later as called for.
 Delegates Points
 Emphasizing his points with the figures showing the proximity of the Territory to the route of an attack by any western power on the United States, the Delegate said:
 Alaska is, in my judgment, and in the judgment of a great many other people who have made study of military strategy, the weakest point in the whole chain of Ma tional defense"
 Arguing that provision for the proposed base near Fairbanks would be an investment in peace, Delegate Dimond summarized this point in concluding his testimony with the statement:
 T submit to this committee that it is cheaper to install these defen- sive works than it is to run the risk of war. After all, what we are try ing to do is to prevent war. One thing that may bring about war is to leave ourselves in defenseless position. < * Knowing the history of the world as we know it, certain ly the recent history, we know that the only thing that keeps foreign nation from taking possession of Alaska is fear. if we can in- crease that apprehension on their part-that they cannot take Alaska and get away with tive will have done something for our National de- fense and for peace"

Copeland of New York, Chairman of the special subcom- mittee of the Senate Commerce Committee appointed to investigate disasters occurring to aircraft within the past year and to recommend measures for safety in air transpor- tation, appeared before the Com mittee and vigorously urged increase in the appropriations for the Bu- reau of Air Commerce as the bill had been passed by the House and

as recommended by the Bureau oi the Budget At Senator Copeland's request Col J. M. Johnson, Assist ant Secretary of Commerce, in charge of the Bureau of Air Con- merce and the newly appointed Di- rector of Air Commerce, MT Fred D. Fagg, Jr., and others, and Col Edgar s. Gorrell, President of the Air Transport Association of Am erica, which includes nearly all of the air operating companies, testi- fled before the subcommittee and pointed out the need of increased appropriations in order to bring about safety in the air. Delegate Di- mond urged the Committee to in- corporate in the bill the amount required to put into construction the Alaska air program, $2900,000, and pointed out the particular need not only for air navigation facilities, such as lights and radio, but the much greater need for the construc- ton of air fields iii Alaska. In his request the Delegate had the full support of Senator Copeland and of Colonel Gorrell.
 Emergency Fields
 MT. Fagg, Director of the Bureau of Air Commerce, advised the Con- mittee that under the present law the Bureau of Air Commerce had no authority to construct air fields ex- cept emergency fields, whereupon Delegate Dimond said that emer- gency fields embraced a large part of the fields now so much needed in Alaska. The chances of securing an appropriation for the Alaska program in this bill are much les sened by the fact that the Bureau of the Budget refused to pass any estimate for such construction, and generally the Committees follow closely the recommendations of the Budget.
 Several members of the subcom- mittee expressed their approval of the Alaska program provided there was authority in law to make the appropriation under existing legis- lation. Senator Truman of Missouri, remarked that the $2,9OO000 re- quired for this program was a mod est sum in comparison with the amount which the Federal Govern ment in years past had expended in aiding the construction of rail- roads. In answer to a question pro- pounded by the Chairman, Senator Mcclellan, the Delegate said that if Alaska were as well supplied with roads and railroads as the several States, there would be no need to ask Congress to aid in the construc- tion of air fields, but that since vast stretches of the Territory had neither roads nor railroads there was insistent need of having a complete and comprehensive sys- tenn of air fields and some air navi- gation facilities.

During the past week much con- cern has been expressed about the many rumors with respect to the probable gold policy of the Admin istration.

Parental Prodding Slovs
 Child Do,un, Says Authority
By LYDIA GRAY SHAW AP Feature Service Writer

NEW YORK, April 2l.-Childrep would not need so much help in dressing and eating, says Mrs: Ray mond Burrows, if their parents did not hurry them along.
 Mrs. Burrows sees that what she breaches is practiced at coopera- tive Kindergarten she heads near the Columbia campus. As result the 16 children there get in and out of play suits unaided.
 There is no anxious mother on hand to extort them to hurry she explains. The hustle of an ordin- |ary household disconcerts young ster and slows up fingers which are awkward enough anyway"
 Conversation Curtaiicd
 Children at the Community Co., operative Association, as the Kin |dergarten is known, also manipul- late forks and spoons without as sistance at lunch time.
 Conversation is curtailed," says Mrs. Burrows. If parents would realize that children loiter at meals because they are trying to follow the adult chatter, they would seat the youngsters at a separate ta- ble where there are no distractions. '
 Kindergarten children with faul- ty table manners are quietly cor rected and when they see the oth- CTS doing the proper thing, follow suit.
 Each child should have his own table equipment, says Mrs. Bur rows, and she is emphatic in her belief that meals in the home should be served at regular, unchanged hours.
 Supervision even in play is re- duced to a minimum at the kinder garten which was formerly the Hilltop school
 Administered by Parents
 Mrs. Burrows says that for the most part the children play in small groups unattended.
 Still in it's infancy, the kinder garten, outgrowth of a discontin- ued ERA nursery school, is admin istered entirely by parents of chil- dren attending.
 The youngsters constitute a cross section of the 'city's population. (The majority are American-bo white children but there are some of Japanese and Filipino extraction and a few colored) Their parents vary from day laborers to profes- sional men but all are on an equal footing so far as the school is con- cerned.

Fiaky Crust Important

One of the most important se- crets of successful apple-pie-mak- ing is the ability to turn out a flaky crust.
 Preparing just the right kind of a crust for apple pie requires four things careful measuring, chill ing, very little handling and the proper temperature in baking.
 The ingredients of the crust should be thoroughly chilled be- fore they are mixed. Many good cooks also chill the dough before il is rolled out and put in the pie tin Others allow it to remain in the re- frigerator over night.
 In contrast to lemon or cream pies which require hot oven until their single crusts are baked, the two crusts necessary for apple pie demands hot oven for the first ten minutes and more moderate oven until the filling as well as the crust is done.
 Here is my favorite pie crust recipe. It is followed by my fayor- ite apple pie filling recipe.
