 Theatre

The opening of Walter Wanger's adventure romance, Trade Winds with Fredric March as the hero and Jean Bennett as the heroine, pro- sided the movie patrons of the Capi-
 cl Theatre with the thrills and eX- eitement important to first-rank mcsicn picture entertainment.
 Seven exotic countries of the Far East provide the setting of the new picture, although the story begins md ends in San Francisco where a man is murdered and a girl begins | chase which leads halfway around
 he globe, Tay Garnett. who is listed as the producer and director of Trade Winds also conceived the original idea for the story. More than that, Mir Garnett, in his own yacht, equipped as a floating stu dio.' photographed the thousands of feet of brilliant background shots which are dramatically and effec- lively incorporated in the produc- tion
 Among the more unfamiliar places visited by MT Garnett on journey which lasted eighteen months are such novel and little known places as the Laccadive Islands, Saigon in i Indo-China and Kobe in Japan. Against backgrounds of pictorial beauty and impressive sweep, the story of Trade Winds" is told with drama and suspense. Joan Bennett portraying Kay Kerrigan, San Fran cisco blonde, is suspected of mtr- der and wanted by the police. Eff fecting a daring escape when she plunges her car off a ferry into the bay, the girl is next traced to Honolulu Detective Sam Wye, DOT trayed by no less a personality than Fredric March, is the man chosen to pursue her.

SEBENICO HOME IS
 DAMAGED BY FIRE

Fire caused by a faulty chimney in the Sebenico cottage on Fourth Street caused an alarm to be turned in about Il o'clock yesterday fore noon and occaSioned a little action for local volunteer firemen.
 The run was quickly made and the blaze extinguished with loss con- fined largely to wetting of furni- ture and bedding not insured.
 Had there been a strong wind blowing the fire might have been disastrous, which should lend great CT seriousness to recent warnings of Chief Pusich about care of stove pipes and chimneys.

THE GOLD BOWL

Juneaus first Gold Bowl football game an un- qualified success should create strong sentiment here to have this contest made annual event
 If the game yesterday had been between a Ju- team and outside rival the community spirit which it engendered would have been easily understood. For so much enthusiasm to be aroused by purely local contest without tradition without team records a championship at stake, is a token of the genuine interest of Juneau in football and an argument for having of these affairs every year
 The Gold Bowl is illustration of how a good idea in the minds of a few can if presented at tractively and plugged with energy capture the imag ination and support of whole community. The few men in this J. J. Mehern, Wallis George and Jim ONeill They received help from countless Juneautes and few important Outside Two who should be mentioned Ray Eckman Athletic Director at the University of Washington, who sent north the uniforms and equipment used in the game and F. L. McGovern of the Seattle Chamber of Com merce who perfected this and other arrangements.
 Considering the short time the teams had to practice and to perfect n1oder football organizations from scratch and considering the weather, which made outdoor practice almost impossible. the brand of football exhibited yesterday by the Sourdoughs and Baranof Bears was excellent. It was up to the standard of play witnessed by much larger crowds in Thanksgiving day games elsewhere
 By all means. let's have another Gold Bowl game next year.

admittedly unscientific inquiry at long range. Why would an agent of Winston Churchill or some other reprehensible Englshman be allowed to go into the 3urgerbrau and place bomb? Hitler is the most thoroughly guarded man in she world
 It is the practice of police and blackshrt troops search methodcay in advance not only the places Hitler is to visit but the rooms and cellars of all ouses along his route wherever he goes Surely the protectors of Der Fuehrer would not fail their master
 searching beer hall so halowed by National Social st tradition
 Now we come to question which would have no landing in court of law but which cuts straight to he heart of the crime Who but high Nazis would nave the imagination and daring to conceive plot admirably suited to the purpose of Naz propaganda?
 Hitler began his in earnest 16 years ago the exact spot where he made his 57-nute speech If the plot bona fide he calculated to end his career that spot and that anniversary with even more melodrama than his putsch provided Whoever planned the crime deeply conscious of Nazi tra dition, to choose Nazi shrine and Nazi anniversary for it's commission
 Would a British agent trouble to select a time and place ironically appropriate2 The answer is no. The British a singularly unmagnative race with respect whatever for traditions except their own
 Would anybody outside high Nazi ranks have planned the crime when Hitler was understood for weeks previous not to be coming to Munich? This is important. The bomb had to be planned days at least in advance Yet outsider had to expect Der Fuehrer to appear all in the beer cellar of his well-remembered putsch"
 Recalling the Rechstag fire of 1883, used by the National Socialists as an excuse for sezing power, and now generally recognized having been set by the Nazis themselves and not by the Communists charged Hessler asks:
 'Is this miraculous escape of Der Fuehrer another inside job? Naturally it is useless here and now to offer opinion But there little nothing to be gained by the assassination of Hitler, if British agents had had the unhoy wit to it. And there much to be gained by the near -assas- snation of Hitler. from the Nazi point of view, if it could be blamed the English"
 Perhaps the world will never know the truth. Ger ainly the truth will not come out of the trial in Ger many of the George Eser arrested this week by the Gestapo and claimed by Hitler agents to have con fessed" the assassination attempt

ANOTHER REICHSTAG FIRE?

The morning after the beer hall explosion which missed Hitler by II minutes, while Germany was congratulating itself the narrow escape of the Fuehrer and the rest of the world was expressing disappointment at the poor timing, the Empire sug- gested that the plot not by Hitler's enemies but by Hitler himself
 Now this view, which held by few others from the start, is supported by William H. Hessler Foreign Editor of the Cincinnati Enquirer who writes in a recent dispatch to that paper
 Why, we must ask first did Hitler decide to go to Munich when he had planned otherwise? It was not to escape the duty of answering the peace offer from the Low Countries for that would have been easier by canceling the speech at Munich It not for any discernibe military diplomatic purpose. Could have been to cooperate in cooked-up plot?
 Why, must ask next did Hitler proceed in advance of his schedule? The Is minutes saved not vital to the prosecution of the Could it have been to escape bomb explosion he knew com ing?
 Why, we must ask. were the persons killed of no importance when the gathering one of 800 hand-peked Naz celebrities? Could this too be planed by the hypothesis of a deliberate hoax, de- signed to intensity German national unity?

Ice Wagon WaddIes Through
Cleveland Plain Dealer)


 There is end to all things some philosopher has said And that includes the journey to Bos- ton of Admiral Byrds famous Ice Wagon, for mally known Penguin I. Nineteen days out of Chicago she waddled up to the dock Ere this morn ng's rises the city of Cabots and codfish the Penguin, lashed smartly aboard the North Star the ship which is to take her and the admiral to the south polar regions, may be on her way.
 The Ice Wagons embarkati ton fully as com plicated and painful her difficulties with mid western bridges and culverts. There was too much Ice Wagon linearly speaking, for the North Star, ten feet of what the modstes would call Miss Penguin's derriere had to be chopped off
 Considering the tortoise pace of the Ice Wagon in her transit of Indiana and Ohio she fairly flew through Massachusetts. In twelve hours she did 132 miles Her progress held 10000 in 2o-mile traffic jam. But, at least, those Bay State Sunday drivers must have learned what normal Sunday after noon traffic to the minority of Sabbath motor ists who really want to go somewhere
 Weeks months hence Miss Penguin will be put together again upon some polar ice shelf where there will be bridges to cramp her style traffic to get in the way But suppose after the excised ten feet are restored and everything is set for joy ride to points more south, the Ice Wagon, like many humber motor vehicle should fail to start? Why, then her chauffeur call up the nearest garage It would certainly be distressing Admiral Byrd unable to ascertain if those south polar regions still discovered!

Adverse stars appear to rule to- day. The morning may be unfavor- able for making plans and keep ing engagements.

Helpfulness that is wise should be lpersistently advocated.
 Business Affairs: Trade will in- crease during the coming weeks. The cost of living will rise, but merchants expect generous buying Brilliant entertainment of distinguished visi- tors will stimulate spending in the East and West. The coming holidays will be recklessly gay and money will be in circulation wherever pleas ure is to be bought. U. s. contribu- tions to relief projects abroad will be heavy.
 National Issues: Political factions will forget their differences of opin- ion and unite to face the potential danger which confronts the United States. This nation will enjoy a marked access to power and there will be amazing changes in the world.
 International Affairs: Unles s there is some sort of truce by the beginning of the new year, there will be a waste of human life and destruction of the works of man as has never been imagined4 Civiliza- ton among the white races may eventually be destroyed.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of advancement through courageous enterprise, but the young may expect opposition from their elders. Girls will be lucky in romance. Accidents may be sustained unless extra care is main tained.

NATURAL BATTLEGROUNDS

AK LA CHAP FL L E (noW Aachem looms large in the history books. Belgium was the scene ot the final military drama of Ma poleon's career.
 Belgium and Holland are the wedges between European powers and the British forces. They are natural battlegrounds because they have no high-ground barriers to invasion. fE
 Before hostilities officially be- gan, these neutrals once before of fered their good offices for peace They did what they could in the interests of humanity.
 Now, most diplomats feel they are acting solely in desperation to protect their own people--Which after all, is their first concern.
 It's in Belgium's Flanders fields that the peoples grow-and in Bel gium where the graves of thou sands upon thousands of peace loving Belgians bear witness, to the ironic geographical fate that has made Beligum and Holland the scene of Europe's decisive battles through the centuries. a ,,g
 It is also ironic that a |, nation 5000 miles across the. Atlantic should make a decision which brings tiny Belgium and Holland back into the limelight as apostles of peace-for their own security.
