FRENCH CABINET
IS HELD DOOMED
TO SHORT LIFE
Chautemps' Group Face
Communists War
BY MICHAEL WILSON

PARIS, Jan. 10 (IN.SJ-End.
ing Frances political crisis for the
time being, at least, Premier
Chautemps was back in office to-
day at the head Of transitional"
government composed almost en-
tirely Of members Of his own
Radical Socialist party.
In forming his new cabinet,
Chautemps finally obtained a
promise of support from the
Socialist party headed by former
Premier Leon Blum, despite the
fact that Socialist participation in
The government was completely
lacking.
ECUTTLING THREATENED
But the Communists, angered
by the conservative complexion of
the new regime and by the fact
that neither they nor the Social
lists were included in the govern
ment, prepared to carry on the
political warfare that has accom-
panied Frances financial Difficult
ties in recent weeks.
Prior to actual formation Of the
cabinet, the Communists had
threatened to scuttle it at the
first opportunity, unless it in
cluded extreme leftiStS and repre-
sented the entire so-called "Popu-
lar Front" coalition.
In view of this set up, and the
rapidly developing political storm
clouds, observers felt that the new
cabinet would not long survive,
but would serve instead as a.
Transition" ministry which will
strive to deal with the economic
and social difficulties confronting
the nation.
AIMS ARE GIVEN
In a radio broadcast to the
nation, Chautemps said:
Members of the new govern
nent. will attempt to carry
out the hopes of the country.
A heavy task awaits us. We
face it with the aim of giving
expression to the will of the
nation as expressed by vote.
Whether we maintain the
Soundness Of our finances, pre-
pare social laws to achieve
peaceful collaboration between
capital and labor or defend the
security and independence Of
our country. we will devote all
our efforts to the task"
Special care will be taken
to smooth the path Of the work
ing people severe control
will be exercised over for
eigners."

Bladder Weakness

When bladder is irritated and kids
neys sluggish you may have to get up
often at night-sometimes flow is dif-
ficult and smarts and burns.
You probably need a good diuretic
and kidney stimulant such as GOLD
MEDAL Haarlem Oil Capsules to help
restore kidneys and bladder to normal
activity. Get a IS cent box and get
results-don't accept a counterfeit.

PETERS CREEK
 MINE MAN ON
 WAY TO WEST
Rich Placer Ground Is Brought Into Production
 by "Non-Miner'

Earl Clifford, Spokane mining man interested in the Peters Creek Mining Company, passed through Juneau on the Columbia this morn- ing, on his way to the operations, flying in from Anchorage.
 Clifford said the two-yard drag line on the creek is expected to pro- duce even more money this year than last, when a seasons total of $240,0O0 was realized.
 The story of the Peters Greek Mining Companys success really began only two years ago, Clifford said, when John Mcdonald, New York construction man, joined the company.
 McDonald's introduction to the mining business and his resultant success is an interesting short story.
 Fresh from big building projects in the East, and knowing nothing ot mining in the least, Mcdonald watched the Peters Creek dragline operations one day two years ago. Finally he stepped up to the super intendent of opera tions.
 'Is that all there is to this gold mining moving dirt?" he asked.
 Right" replied the superinten- dent
 Well, you're all wrong" McDen- aid is understood to have replied. "If I couldn't move twice as much dirt as that outfit is moving, I'd lose money on any contract in the East for digging basements!"
 McDonald's bluff was called, and it is understood he bought into the company and took over superin- tending the mining digging" to him.
 The first year he increased pro duction four hundred percent!' Clifford laughed today as the Co., lumbia sailed.
 Mining reconstruction man McDon- aid sold out, however, and went

COMEDY RIOT IS SHOWING
 AT CAPITOL
Nothing Sacred Co-stars Fredric March and
 Carole Lombard

If dizzy, hilarious doings and carvings on during the filming of a picture are an criterion then Da- vid O. Selznick's technicolor pro- duction Nothing Sacred" at the Capitol Theatre, should walk away with all prizes and awards for the maddest comedy riot that was ever devised to shatter the peace and quiet of the amusement world.
 For reasons well founded on air guns, splintered stage lights, broken eggs, horseplay and general hilarity, the Nothing Sacred" set at Selz- nick International Studios earned a reputation as the dizziest in Hol- lywood."
 Whether the stars caught it from the script or just happened to find their fun-loving natures in close ac- cord has not been determined Gen. eral opinion is that Ben Hecht's screen play. based on a story by James H. Street, has had its effect
 At any rate, the fact remains that Carole Lombard and Fredric March. co-stars in the technicolor film, spent all of their spare time practicing with air guns. They were joined by Director William A. We'll man. with Charles Winninger and Walter Connolly, taking occasional pot-shots just for the fun of it.
 This, in itself wouldn't be un- usual but as it happened, their col lective targets were the lights at the top of the sound stage roof!
 Wellman won first honors with two lights, followed by Miss Lom- bard and March with one apiece. Winninger and Connolly missed.

Proof Of Age
 Nov Required
 OId-Age Money

Development of the Federal old age insurance program under the Social Security Act has given added importance to the record section of the old family Bible, baptismal certificates, and other papers car rying birth dates
 With the size of the average pay ment of lump-sum claims for old age insurance benefits increasing steadily, Hugh J, Wade, Territorial Director of the Social Security Boards office in Juneau, has been instructed to inform claimants that, when a claim is for over $l00 proof of age will be required, except in the case of claim made by the heirs or estate of a wage-earner who has died.
 Lump-sum payments amount to 3t2 percent of wages received since January 1, 1937.
 Ordinarily, where the amount is $100 or less, MT. Wade said, proof would be required only when the birth date as stated in a benefit application is not the same as the date shown by the Boards records.
 The Social Security Board, recog- nizing the difficulties in supplying proof of birth since many States have not required certificates until recent years, have provided that when an applicant cannot obtain evidence without difficulty and ex- pense he will be directed to file for consideration Bible, family, busi- ness, fraternal, school, government al, or other similar records.
 Lump-sum benefits are paid to covered workers who reach 65, or to the relatives or representatives of estates of those who die, These are the only claims now being paid. Beginning in 1942, monthly checks will be sent to those qualifying for Federal old-age insurance retire ment benefits.

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, July 12.- Not too many years ago you heard producers whining because the fans stayed away from POOR pictures. Today's cheering thought is that they take it for granted the fans will stay away from that kind!
 One producer, viewing world con- ditions, sets $650.000 as top produc- ton cost on any feature expecting to show a profit With some exceptions, of course, like Snow White" and Robin Hood"
 Jeffrey Lynn, the Worcester, Mass, boy who is making good in Sister Act" has seen his rushes, is afraid he's in for some of the rib ping that pursued Robert Taylor so long. I've been photograph ed very, very pretty in two or three scenes" he contiues, but if it comes-I can take it."

 Inspirational re-christening of the week: Dorothy Comingore (the girl admired by Chaplin at CarmeD is re-titIed Kay Winters, just as if the screen wasn't filled with Rays already, including Francis.
 The screen return of Mitzi Green has met delay. Cast in "Fid- dlesticks, which was combination of music and nutty comedy (the two film types presently in dis repute), she'll go instead into "The Mad Miss Manton" with Barbara Stanwyck.
 The friendship of Bob Burns and Lew Ayres dates back to LeW's star dom and Bobs obscurity. Lew was making a picture with Anita Louise C"Heaven on Earth') in which Bob had an extra role. .

Those loud, rumbling moi es that you heard last night were not caused by an earthquake they came from the Coliseum Theatre, where Jack Benny's Artists and Models" had a laugh-convulsed au- dience rolling in the aisles and hold ing its splitting sides.

With Jack Benny heading a cast of screen and radio stars and hundreds of gorgeous girls, which includes Ida Lupino, Gail Patrick, Richard Ar len, Ben Blue, Judy Canova, The Yacht Club Boys, Louis Arm strong's Swing Orchestra, and Eng lands most famous and most beautiful model Sandra Storms, laugh fans have ample guarantee that they can expect more good, solid chuckles than they'll know what do do with!
