HOW THEY LINE UP

Stimson favored the Thomas bill No. 2. He disliAed the feature in 1t requiring the President to have con- sent of Congress before shutting off supplies to an aggresSor nation. He believed the President should have authority to act independently in that direction if he considered 1t the best means of preserving the security of the United States. Sena- tor Thomas himself was of that frame of mind, but injected the requirement for congressional ap- proval as means af abating op- position of those who disliked giv- ing the President such blanket au- thority.
 Baruch favored the Pittman bill No. l. He conceded that it gave advantage to powers with big navies because they could come to the U. s. for supplies without having to de- pend on U s. ships to carry them. He agreed that it favored England and France in any war in Europe because they could bottle up the to- talitarian states, yet have their own ships free to transport U $. goods. Nevertheless, he said, it was his be- lief, based on his service as war in- dustries chairman during the World War, that this method of letting na- tions know in advance what posi- ltion the U. s. would take would be the best way to keep the U. s. from being accused of taking sides in a war. Moreover, it would keep U. s. ships out of the war zone
 He agreed with Senator Borah that it had the disadvantage of sacrificing U. s. rights to trade at sea.
 As to the Nye bill, it is the "com- plete hands off measure.
 Its supporters say the U. s. will be safest when war comes if it simply backs away from the war, let the outcome be what it may. It has solid support of the midwest ern isolationists.

 No hope can be held out to these people by the Board of Public Well fare, Kirk said, as relief funds are available only to take care of resi- dents of Alaska. Nor can the De- partment pay their steamship fares home without authorization from relief authorities in the applicants home town.
 Kirk's advice to anyone seeking work in Alaska is to get reliale in- formation, before coming north, from prospective employer or some re- liable person in the Territory
 Projects Closed To Outsiders
 No employment for transients can be given on any of the public works projects which are under way to the Westward and in Fairbanks this year, authorities here stated. Local residents on relief must be given preference on all such projects, and there are plenty of these to take up all jobs available. s' N
 Only local men are to be employed on the l. J. Dowell paving project in Juneau this spring, Jim Doyle, Foreman, who is here to get the work lined up stated today The hiring is being done through the local unions. t TN tf
 Kirk said that it does not take job seekers long to be sorry they came to Alaska. If they could be headed off before coming, however. it would save great hardship and disappointment, he declared.

STATE

Performances tonight conclude the week long showing of "When Tomorrow Comes," at Warmers air cooled State. Irene Dunne and Charles Boyer team in romance in the feature attraction, while Will liam Lundigan and Joy Hodges headline the secind hit of the bill 'They Asked or It."
 Opening tomorrow for a four-day engagement and manifestation of Warmers greater show season is "Old Maid" with Bette Davis, Mi riam Hopkins and Jane Bryan. Made by Edmund Goulding, who directed Miss Davis in the seasons appealing Dark Victory" the new show is rated by experts even above the earlier production. It's heart gripping story of women fighting for the love of ia child, with two cousins as the participants.
 It's Miss Davis as a withered old spinster, in conflict with Miriam Hopkins for the love of Jane Bryan, a founding. But behind it lies a more deeply human story of Miss Hopkins jilting her ance-Miss Da- wis consoling him and revealing her own deep love-and a tragic death stunting new romance. Staid old Philadelphia is the setting for the film.
 Jane Bryan rises to new heights, while Miss Davis plays pathos to perfection in her role as "Old Maid"
 The companion feature is "Blondie Takes 8 Vacation" with Penny Singleton and Arthur Lake.

Forgotten Key Unlocked Secret of the X-roy

0NE of the most popular stories
 V of the discovery of the x-ray
 by Wilhelm Konrad Roentgen, in
 1895, is that a forgotten key, used
 as a bookmark, was accidentally
 exposed to the rays, reproduced
 upon a sensitive photographic plate.
 Roentgen never confirmed this anecdote, but it is certainly true that his discovery unlocked an entirely new field of medical sci- ence, gave physicians most po- tent weapon in the battle against disease-the ability to see within the living human body.
 Roentgen was over 50 when he made his remarkable find. His early life as a student was undis- finguished by any show of bril-. Iiance, but later association with Augllst Kundt, teacher of experi- mental physics, led him into re- search, won him honors as pro- lessor of physics at several great German universities.
 m 1901 he was awarded the Hobs1 Prize in physics, which he imnsdiately assigned to be spent on scientific research. But the World War wiped out that rev- enue ss well ss his personal for- tune.
