run. The oncer fired once in the
air but failed to frighten the robber
into stopping.
Later, the suspect was picked up
and is held at the third precinct
station for investigation. Mrs. c. S.
Card and Charles M. Osborne, pro-
prietors, valued the bracelet taken
from the window at SIS. 1t has not
been recovered.
This was the second robbery of
that kind within few days
Thursday night the window of the
Slavin jewelry store at 843 Seven
teenth street NE. was smashed and
gems valued at 5000 were carried
off, Harry Slavin, proprietor, re-
ported to police. Mr.. Slavin said
today this was the fifth time he has
been robbed and none OF the stolen
jewelry has been recovered.

Goodrich Tire Store at 1922 Four
teenth street NV, reported that

value of s6O35. He said the door
was evidently opened with dupli-
cate key or the thieves were locked

Propaganda That
May Get Us in War
Extension of Probe
For Yeur Voted by
House, 344 to IS

By the Associated Press.
Backed by topheavy vote OF
confidence from the House, Chair
man Dies of the House Committee
on Un-American Activities proposed
today to ferret out sources of for
eign propaganda that may get us
into war"
The Texan said he would recon-
mend that the committee divide its
work into three departments, one of
which would investigate foreign
propaganda.
I'VE should look into this very
important matter of foreign propa-
ganda as it relates to war" Repre-
sentative Dies asserted, find out its
origin and determine where the
money to finance it comes from and
how much is being spent"
The other two divisions. he sug-
gested, should investigate Com
munist and Fascist activities.
Years Extension Approved.
The House decided yesterday to
extend the committee a year Rep
resentative Dies said he expected
the Accounts Committee to recon-
mend next week that the House vote
100000 to finance the years work.
Vociferous opponents fought con-
tinuation of the committee with
charges that it had been unfair and
partial and had "smeared" inno-
cent persons But their bitterness
outWeighed their effectiveness, as
was demonstrated by the 344-to-35
vote.
Mr.. Dies admitted the committee
had erred at times. But he told the
House it would recognize those mis-
takes and do everything within its
power to continue a fearless. honest
and complete investigation of what
is definite danger"
To critics who had contended the
committee had attacked the New
Deal he retorted that it would not
have sought the cooperation of
Government agencies if that had
been its desire
Meetings May Be Closed.
Through the hours debate was
threaded a clear hint to the COM
mittee, even from those who favored
renewing it, that many members
disapproved some of its procedure,
the nature of its evidence and the
type of testimony it permitted
Representative Dies told report
ers, however he was sure any
grounds for criticism could be elimi-
mated
I'VE may decide to take our tes-
timony in closed meetings and then
bring before the public any dis
closures about which it should be
informed he said IN that way
we can sift out any irrelevant or
Objectionable material"
Yesterdays roll call vote found 1877

ton authorizing resumption of the

PREPARING FOR
 FAIR" K TOUGH
 GOING AT TIMES
Intimate Visit 10 a Studio Where Program Is
 Being Arranged
By GEORGE TUCKER

NEW YORK, Feb. 14.-Some Of the men were tired You could tell that. They were in various stages of undress, because they had been there since one o'clock, and it was now five Some of the men had their coats off. Others had their neckties loose and their collars open at the threat. Eddy Duchin sat at the piano and ran his hand through his jet curly hair.
 He said: "Okay once again for that ending"
 The men picked up their instru- ments. Morton Downey stopped thinking about whatever he was thinking about and stepped up to the mike. Duchin's hand came down and the band, with Downey singing, played about five bars of Heart and Soul When it was over Duchin looked up towards the control booth. Harry Von Zell, the production man, nodded to him, and then Duchin dis missed the band.
 We were sitting in the control booth, studio 3B, watching the re- hearsal with Von Zell, and several agency officials, and Durelle Alex ander, the little Dallas. Texas, girl who is Duchin's vocalist. Then Du- chin and Morton Downey were com ing into the booth. and Duchin yelled, What was it, Harry, what was it?"
 "A couple of clinkers sneaked in there" Von zell told him. A "clink- CT" is a bad note. Duchin looked surprised. Cant understand il" he said
 -"Oh, it's okay now. You're all right now" Von zell assured him.
 T hope so,' Duchin said. We've been here all afternoon and I'm tir- ed. It costs lot of money to keep men and rehearsals, Harry
 But it can't go out over the air unless it's right" There was a lot of good -natured heckling, and then Eddy said How did it go? For time, I mean?"
 One of the men in the control booth put his forefinger on his nose. That meant right on the nose" or right on time.' Sometimes during
The Daily Alaska empire., 1939-02-14

a broadcast you'll see production men signal an orchestra leader in this manner. Then he hasn't any thing to worry about. If the show is running a little ahead of schedule he makes a motion with two hands as if he were pulling candy or play ing an accordion. That means to stretch it out a little If the show is behind schedule he makes a motion similar to the way you crank car or turn an egg-beater That tells the orchestra leader to step up the tempo that he's running behind time.
 There must be a thousand such signals which radio men know and use every day. You have to hang around and watch a lot of rehear- sals to get onto them. Duchin was running his hand through his hair again. It was his show-or would be when it went on the air at 9:30 He guessed it was okay lie said Come on. I'm buying a drink" So we all went downstairs to a res taurant and had a glass of some thing or other-all, that is, except Morton Downey, who ordered a big bowl of ice cream He is very fond of ice cream. He will order it four or five times day, or every time you pass restaurant if you go inside, He just can't say no to ice cream
 Duchin said, you hear a guy a half hour on the air and you think that's all there is to it--a half hour. But we've been working since one o'clock and it'll be after midnight before we're through. I'm going to catch little shuteye.' Downey said, T better call Barabara" Barbara is his wife. So Duchin got up and went out, and Downey went off to look for a telephone, and the rest of us said "so long" and scattered here and there It was just that sort of afternoon.

PARIS Is USING RIOT OF RIBBONS
 ON NEWEST HATS
By ALICE MAXWELL AP Feature Service Writer

PARIS, Feb. 14-New Paris hats are tied up like Easter bouquets and bonbons.
 Grosgrain ribbons tie Glengarry straws across the back. or Dutch caps under the chin Velvet rib bons tie front and back, in gerani- um pink on brown straw, fuchsis on mauve.
 A hat made entirely of picot- edged ribbon is one of the latest Schiaparelli ideas. The ribbons, in multi-color, climb from the mar row brim straight to the top where they end in loops tied around with a candy-box bow Mixed-color rib bons meet again across the back of a Glengarry bonnet" of fancy black straw.
 CyIamen Straw
 Ribbon-ti tied under the chin is a Dutch cap style in tawny yellow paillasson straw. A felt model in the same shade has felt chin strap, wide front brim, and close all-over stitching in self-color for brim and crown.
 l Among large faille bows in this collection. is a white one backing i black straw with peak crown and l turned-up brim. Wide navy faille holds a cyclamen straw disk to the head and finishes in large bow near the neck.
 Cchechia turbans copied from the lAlgerians are designed of straw, organdie and flowers. A black or gandie chechia is "plaided" with yellow and green grosgrain rib bons. One in navy paillasson straw i is fronted with a military looking aigret made of the straw Il d topped with nothing at all, like a roofless mansion. A third chechia is covered with white and yellow narcissi, and very well covered at | that.
 Postilion Shapes
 Fine bakou straws are used for breton and postilion shapes. The position hats are trimmed with grosgrain ribbons; the bretons with streamers. A large black ba- kou breton has long thin streamers of white ribbon tumbling from the i,,,orlar-trip1 at centar- hack A navy model is treated to navy ribbon streamers falling from the under brim on each side of the face.
 Feathers have fling, in lac- quered navy blue wing fronting a Itall-crowned model of cerise-colored bakou. This is trimly tailored with a conventional brim and a dented crown.
