LATE SATURDAY
IS Measures from House
Disposed Of Before
Weekend Rest

Senators adjourned with a clear
conscience Saturday evening, hav-
ing gone through one of the longest
calendars of the session and not
left anything over for Monday
morning-except the general APP
preparation bill which came from
the House too late for consideration
Saturday.
House Bill No. 76, the appropria-
ton measure, spent few hours in
the Senate Finance Committee and
then was reported out just before
adjournment with the recommen-
dation that it be considered in Com
mittee of the Whole.
So the Senate's work for the next
few days is cut out for it.
House Measures Passed
Among measures passed late Sat-
urday were House Joint Resolution
No. 6, providing $500 bonus for the
clerical force of each house; House
Joint Memorial No. "a, asking that
student airplane pilots be trained
at the University of Alaska; House
Joint Memorial No. 81, asking the

Carl Drager's House Bill No. 14l
dealing with initiative and referen-

fate.
Criticized by Senators as another
example of sheer carelessness" in
drafting was Drager's House Bill No
1903, which would prevent steam

from the Territory any fish pro-
ducts without requiring from the
shipper an affidavit stating thai
there were no labor liens against the

Bette Davis and Errol Flynn in "The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex. the technicolor produc- ton that has the whole town talk ing, will continue to thrill audiences at Warmers State theater until he closing performances Tuesday even- ing.
 Since the opening last Wednesday thousands have viewed the offering and are now praising 1t to the skies. Ask your friends, they'll tell you it's the best show in town.
 Telling highly dramatic and es- sentially human story against the magnificent pageantry of the Eliza bethan court, the production deals with the one great love in the life of England's most famous queen.
 The motivation of the story is the desperate struggle in the mind of Elizabeth, between her unreasoning love for the young and ambitious Earl Of Essex, played by Flynn, and her love for the country she rules 6wayed between her infatuation with him, and her fear that he may be false in his protestations of love for her; 1t is only his final admission that he would usurp her throne, that causes her, broken-heartedly, to consign him to the Tower and the executioner's block for treason.
 Miss Davis is brilliant as Queen Elizabeth while others include Olivia de Haviland, Donald Crisp Vincent Price and Alan Hale.
