Allan Jones has been pussy
man this week, with four shows
q day at the Capitol Theater,
not to mention outside social
engagements. Nevertheless he
found time between shows to
get together with his pianist,
Eddie Bradnt and the result is
a new song, Just One Love
Affair"
Number will be offered first
10 M-G-M for a forthcoming
Alan Jones pictures, but if il
doesn't land there, Bing Crosby
will probably take it, for Just
One Love Affair" is Bing's
type of song, and full of melody.
How do I know? Tenor Jones
has already recorded the song
on an instrument he bought yes
terday from Jim Moran, and he
played it for me last night.
Singer Jones wound up busy
week of guest starring by last
night visiting the annual dinner
dance of the Allied Printing
Trades Council, at the Press
Club, where besides singing, he
broke the autograph writing
record, dispensing 10 signatures
in eight minutes.

MUSICALS ARE SIGHTED
In looking over the records
since 1929, when this custom
of annual decoration was lnStl-
tuted by Hollywood, I find only
one actress with an oscar" Tor
performance in a musical, and
only two productions whose
structure was musical, cited for
high honors.
Luise Rainier won the 1885
Academy laurel for her perform
ance as Anna Held in THE
Great Ziegfeld," and that pic
ture was also voted the out
standing production OF the year
by official ballot. :,
In 1928-29, the Academy award
for outstanding production went
to Broadway Melody" I still
rate it the greatest musical ever
turned out by Hollywood.
Surely. the Jeanette Mac.
Donald-Nelson Eddy version OF
"Maytime" would have been
singled out for some distinction
other than the award of the
Washington critics-aS outstand-
ing musical achievement.
Indeed. think the first Grace
Moore picture, "One Night OF
Love" was worthy of standing
with the champions. not to men
ton Deanna Durbin's 100 Men
and a Girl" or one of the sew
eral Astaire-Rogers pictures.
Just to refresh your memory,
It might be we'll to list the
Academy record, since it makes
palmer how shabbily musicals
have been treated in the annual
voting:

Northland On Its Annual Voyage
 Pt. Barrow

Upon leaving Nome July l4th, the U. s. cutter Northland, Cap tain Frederick A. Zeusler in com mand, cruised south to Unaaaska, to prepare for the Point Barrow trip. A search of the Boring Sea area for vessels proved 1t clear. Stops were made at St. Lawren- ce and Nunivak Islands, and med ical attention rendered at both places. Upon leaving Nunivak Island, the ship proceeded to St. Mathew Island, government re- serve, and seached for poacherS. No indications of any recent ac- tivities were found; however, a house not more than two years old was found on the northwest end. A running survey was made of the north coasts of Nunivak and St. Mathew Islands, and a shoal found about six miles off
 
 the north side of Nunivak Island.
 The vessel then continued sou tn, and anchored at St. Paul Is- land, in the Pribilof group. Here about two thousand shoulders ere taken aboard, to be diStrib- ed among the natives at Point Hope, who have had very little success in their hunting this year. From St. Paul Island, the cutter cruised directly to Unal- aska, where the engine was giv- en a complete overhaul and a large supply of oil and water taken aboard.
 On the return cruise north, an- other stop was made at St. Paul Island, so that the University of Washington oceanographic party and Senator Reynolds, guests a. board the cutter, might inspect the island, and see the large gov- ernment-protected seal herds. Some meat concentrates were re- ceived on board, for distribution at various villages for the pur- pose of determining whether these concentrates can be used as food by the natives.
 The oceanographic party has made tests to check current, ami nal life, bottom, and teunpera- ture of water during the entire cruise. An area of cold water was located just north of the Prlbiloff Islands, and another ex- tenSive area on the western side of St. Mathew Island.
 From Nome, the vessel proceeds to Point Hope, and thence to Pt Barrow. Stops will be made al the Eskimo villages enroute, and medical attention given the na- tiveS. Oceanogra phic work will be done during the cruise, and the survey of the Boring Sea area will probably be completed at this time.

Japanese Tighten
Belts, Ready for
Long Bitter War
Fresh Sacrifices
Asked as First
Year Ends
BY DON BROWN

TOKYO. July 7 INSD.-With
their belts tightened m n y
notches, their activities regi-
mented. many of their beloved
ones killed or manned, and still
facing a long struggle, the Japa-
nese people nevertheless were en-
fete tonight to mark the end OF
a year of war.
Fireworks blazed in the sky,
patriotic mass meetings were held
everywhere. hundreds prayed at
Yazukuni shrine for the dead. and
every japanese family contributed
some metal article to augment
Nippon's dWindling supply.
TRIBUTE TO DEAD
War services were held through
out Japan. Street traffic came
to standstill as one minutes
silence for the war dead was OBJ
served.
Restaurants served one-course
meals only.
For now the emphasis is on sac
Sifice and more sacrifice to carry
on a way which government lead
ers admit may last for years. Gone
is the feeling of last summer that
the incident" would be over in a
few months.
Even the Cabinet was over
hauled. with the insertion OF tour
new ministers, in an effort to
speed victory. Consumption OF
non-essentialS has been cut to
minimum. Cotton clothing no
longer may be bought.
AS though the elements were
fighting for China, natural dis
asters, earthquakes. tidal waves,
typhoons and fires have added to
Japan'S woes.
1000 DIE IN FLOOD
More than 1000 persons, it was
estimated today, lost their lives
in the floods which have sub
merged most of the great port of
Kobe in the last three days.
Sacrifices by the people again
were called for in an anniversary
message from Emperor Hirohito.
Everlasting peace in the Far
East cannot be ensured unless
we eliminate long $ t a n d in g
evils" he said. Thorough CO.
operation between China and
Japan will serve to promote
maintenance of world peace"
