YOL0 FINISHES
 BIC CAME FILM
Joint Project of Foresters and w ardens Will
 Sell Alaska

With two summers. of travel il Alaska by boat, airplane and afoot and several thousand feet of eX- posed movie film to show for it dapper little Joe Yolo is going south via Sitka on the Northland
 A year ago last May, Yolo came to Juneau for the Department of Agriculture to make a film of films" of Alaskan game and scenery with the cooperative efforts of the Forest Service and the Alaska Game Commission.
 Shaking hands with friends last night and saying goodbye, modest Joe said: T guess there1l be some pretty fair shots in the picture, all right"
 But Joe did not say enough. Last night after the last show was over at the Capitol Theatre, a few per- sons were fortunate enough to see three reels of Joe's most recent pictures of game and scenery in the Juneau area.
 Will "Sell' Alaska
 It is safe to say that when three movie shorts" have been made of Yolos pictures, Alaska will be sold wherever the films are shown.
 Last year Yolo got moose, sheep, caribou and bear pictures as well as dozens of shots of small game, birds. forest growth and scenery.
 The pictures Yolo ran off last night give an indication of what the finished product will be.
 There are scenic shots from an airplane flying at 13,00O feet over the ice cap back of Juneau, rugged peaks. glaciers, waterfalls and fjords traced with a thin scattering ot llacy white clouds-there were close ups of ptarmigan in their winter plumage - pictures of ugly eaglets in their nest and wicked looking mama and papa eagle standing by.
 And Brown Bear, Too
 There are shots of brown bear on Chichagof Island feeding and sleep ing on high slopes and on lush beach grasses. There are comical pictures of big "she bears weigh ing close to ton. sliding spread eagle on their stomachs down long and steep snow slides to bring up in dense alders.
 And there are pictures of deer, Swiss-like alpine pastures, Varied Thrush singing in the Spring air 1 on newly budded willow branches pictures of geese, ducks, and sea gulls playing on the wing.
 There are tumbling tons of water going over ragged cliffs to plunge hundred feet to rocky basins. There are trout in dimpled lakes and sunsets on glassy inlets. i It is a beautiful sample of what the finished film will be-and Yolo did not leave out the rain or the snow. for each can be seen in a number of shots.
 T couldn't very well leave 1t out, :" Yolo said. We didn't have much sun this summer
 This pictures certain success can be attributed to not only Yolos superior photography, but to the broad facilities placed at his dis posal as well.
 Trained foresters and wild life agents took Yolo by boat and by plane and over the hill with pack to get film opportunities unavall- able to the average cameraman.
 Next spring these pictures should be in Alaska in the finished form i-and Joe Yolo will be hoping like heck" he can come back to do some more film work in what he says is the most beautiful camera country in the world"

Capone Faces Clouded Future On Release From Alcatraz
BY SHERMAN MONTROsE

bx SHERMAN MONAhOSE
 NEA Service Staff Correspondent San Francisco, Dec. 22-The man who once ruled the country'S mightiest gangster empire will leave Alcatraz prison Jan. 19, Al Capone will find his power swept away and rocky, disastrous | future stretching ahead.
 He is broken in health.
 Repeal has knocked the bottom out of his far-flung illicit Chicago liquor trade and the gambling racket control has passed to others. The government says Capone has no visible assets.
 Finally, when he leaves the Rock" he will not gain complete freedom after all.
 He has yet to serve a one-year sentence in Cook county, Illinois, on misdemeanor charge in con- nection with his conviction for in- come tax evasion.
 Chicago authorities have already indicated that before Capone's re- lease there it is likely a county or state commission will pass on his mental condition.
 In addition, the one-time Public Enemy No. r. owes the government a $50,000 fine and $7692 in court coctS assessed at the time of his trial in 1881.
 There has been supposition that Capone still holds valuable real estate in Chicago, Miami and California,
 But sources close to Capone de- clare "Al can never come back"
 His health may be the deciding factor.
 Almost a year ago the "big shot" suddenly "blew his top" Leaving the mess hall he slumped to the ground.
 He turned on the hospital order lies. Six guards were required to subdue him. He lay for days in the prison hospital sometimes with arms and legs pinioned to the bed, ac- cording to reliable reports coming out of the secrecy of Alcatraz in San Francisco bay.
 "He is suffering from intermit- tent mental disturbances the De- partment of Justice announced laconically at the time. For the greater part of the time his mind is lucid. His condition is in nowise due to his confinement, but grows out of conditions originating prior to his incarceration"
 No further comment has come from federal officials. Capone is still undergoing malarial treatments. When he leaves Alcatraz where he was transferred from Atlanta in August 1884, he may face expensive treatments.
 The Treasury Department at Washington claims he has no visi- ble assets and derides the rumor that a large sum of money is being held in cache pending his release. Mrs. Capone on her monthly visits to Alcatraz shows no shortage in family finance.
 She wears an expensive mink coat, one one finger sparkles an irn- menSe diamond.
