S44,000 Seiner
 Stops in Juneau
 On Charter Trip
Pilchard Boat Adventure Is Last Word in Deep
 Sea Vessels

Olaf Hanseth's $44,000 deep sea pilchard seiner Adventure, docked in Juneau last night enroute to Kimshan Cove wit ha cargo of mining machinery and was to load lumber here this morning
 Because this is off season" for pilchard fishing, Hanseth and Capt. E. Anderson are making the charter trip to Hirst while waiting for fish ing to begin off the Oregon and Washington coasts next month.
 The craft drew much comment on the wharves. All white, 85 feet over all and 20 feet in inside beam, the Adventure is perhaps the best thing in seiners that has appeared in this port
 Powered with a 200 horse power Atlas diesel, the big craft fishes out of San Francisco and other ports north to Seattle. The Adventure sleeps crew of II men.
 Pilchard fishing is interesting to Alaskans who think of seining in terms of daylight work. Pilchard fishing is all done at night with flares. The boat sails from port in the evening, goes out to sea perhaps as much as fifteen miles, and as the darkness increases, beings a leisurely cruise in search of pilchard, for pilchard chools are easily seen in the darkness, their silver sides il- luminating the water in a phosphor- escent light.
 The big seine skiff is put over the side Git is 20 feet by feet), and the Adventure circles the school of fish with a long seine. It appears to the listener as easy as that, but there are nights on end when it is too light to fish-for when the moon is out, there is no pilchard fishing.
 Pilchard fishermen make good money. Last year, most fishermen on fairly successful boats made wage

PAT O'DRIEN STARRED IN
 PRISON FILM
San Quentin at Coliseum Sunday, Monday Double
 Bill Ends This Evening

Those who like their moviemen rugged and strong plenty good if they're good and plenty bad if they are so inclined-are due for a treat tomorrow, when the First National melodrama San Quentin" opens at 'he Coliseum Theatre, tomorrow night and also the Monday bill.
 On the good side the tans will see Pat O'Brien, which ought to be satisfactory enough He's the Captain of the Yard in San Quen- tin. On the bad side they'll have Humphrey Bogart and Joseph Saw yer as a couple of tough prisoners, plus big Barton MacLane as a crooked jail official.
 But the picture isn't altogether masculine. For sweetness and light there's that lovely red-headed lead ing woman, Ann Sheridan, as a San Francisco night-club singer with whom Pat falls in love.
 It's far from being a gloomy  picture, preview observers declare, in spite of the fact that a lot of the action is behind the walls of the ancient penitentiary on the shore of San Francisco Bay. There are no execution and no death-house scenes.
 Lloyd Bacon, a specialist in fast action and thrills, directed San Quentin
 Others in the cast besides those mentioned include Veda Ann Borg, Joseph King, James Robbins and Gordon Oliver.
 A double feature program, Sing and be Happy" starring Tony Mar tin and Leah Ray; and Jack Ran dan in Danger Valley" will be shown tonight for the last time.

 Brown besides being an expert mechanic, was one of the popular fistic stars when smokers were given almost monthly in Juneau over seven years ago.
 Strolling about the streets of Ju- neau and visiting his former friends, Brown notes the many changes since his absence and declares the city is metropolitan, up and com- ing, and to his reckonings, one Of the most prosperous and hustling on the Pacific Coast.
 Brown and his wife expect to re- turn south in a week or ten days. They are house guests of MT. and Mrs. Arthur Bringdale during their visit here.

share of $3,700 for the period between mid-July and February.
 And Pilchard fishermen are having price troubles like other fisher men. Last year, the men got $13 a ton for pilchard. They ask $15 ton this year, but believe they will be offered much less.
 On one good trip of the Adenture last year, 150 tons were brought to port after one trip to sea.
 The Adventure was only launched last August from the shipyards of the Anderson works in Seattle. Ex- pecting to leave Seattle again for the pilchard grounds by the first of July, owner Olaf Hanseth is hoping prices will be good enough to help wipe out some of the 1000 expense entalied in building and outfitting the Adventure.

The stock market maintained its
upward trend today, adding gains
of a point and more to the fair

Virtually all sections of the list
participated and trading continued
at a more active pace than on the

motors and auto accessories were
in the van of the upswing.
DOUGLAS AIRCRAFT UP
Douglas Aircraft spurted 2
points in the aviationS, while West
inghouse and JohnS-Manville did
nearly as well.
Gains of point or more were
registered by a long list of pivotal
issues, including Bethlehem, U. S..
Steel. ChrySler, General Motors,
Montgomery Ward, Americ a n
Smelling, Kennecott, Anaconda,
U. S. Rubber, Union Carbide, and

Utilities, building shares, oils,
and rails showed gains of smaller
proportions.
COMMODITIES FIRM
Commodities were firm with few
exceptions, particularly copper

improved tone.

U. S. AGENCIES
IN BATTLE OVER
BANK CONTROL
ECCIes, Morgenthau at
Odds on Supervision
BY ERIC FREEDMEN

U.N.S.) High administration fl
nancial leaders today locked horns
in a bitter behind-the-scenes battle
for powers to regulate the bulk OF
the nations banks.
The controversy involves Fed
eral Reserve Board Chairman Mar
riner S. Eccles and officials of the
Comptroller of the Currency and
grows out of the formers proposal
that Federal regulation of banks
be concentrated in one agency.
1t is reliably reported that
Eccles, in a recent memorandum
to Secretary of the Treasury Nor
genthau, touched on the sugges-
ton that the Federal Reserve
Board be given authority to super
vice all the banks within the re-
serve system.
SUPERVISION SPLIT
Under existing law, Govern
ment supervision over banks is
divided among three agencies.
The comptroller of the currency
regulates all national banks; the
Federal Deposit Insurance Cor
poration policies insured inStitu-
tionS and the Federal Reserve
Board has control over state banks
that are members of the reserve
system.
Officials of the comptroller of
the currency are outspoken in
their determination to thwart any
attempt to wrest their authority
over banks and place it with the
reserve agency.
Supporters of the Eccles pro
poSal contend the present system
of divided supervision makes for
inefficient bank regulation.
OPPOSES PROPOSAL
Eccles is said to have urged
President Roosevelt to recommend
the concentration of bank super
vision to Congress at the next Ses-
sion.
It is considered likely that Nor
genthau will oppose vigorously any
plan giving the reserve board domi-
nation over the nations banks.
Morgenthau recently effected a
complete housekeeping" in the
Comptroller of the Currency or
ganization, bringing that hitherto
Independent agency virtually I'M
der Treasury Department rule.
There is a strong likelihood that
Morgenthau will urge AdminiStra-
ton support for the bill of Sena-
tor Smathers Of New Jersey con-
tolidating all bank supervision
