DRAMA AT COLISEUM HAS FINAL SHOWING
 ON SCREEN TONIGHT

Promoted to stardom in his sec end motion picture, John Garfield is the star of the vividly dramatic and exciting Warner Bros. picture entitled They Made Me Grim inal." with the Dead End kids as his co-stars. This feature ends the run tonight. The extent of the quick rise of this young newcomer from the New York stage can be easily gauged by the fact that he is given the starring position in a truly notable cast assembled by War ner Bros. for this production.
 In his support are such players as Claude Rains, Gloria Dickson, Ann Sheridan and May Robson, while the lesser roles are handled by Robert Gleckler, John Ridgley, Barbara Pepper, William Davidson, Ward Bond and Robert Strange, among others.
 In the motion picture, he is a professional prize fighter, and not many years ago Garfield himself was a pretty good fighter even though he never deserted the anna teur ranks In the picture he buns his way across the country and works as a fruit picker in Califor- mia, and that is precisely what Gar field himself did one summer about eight years ago,

port on pages 75-76: At the present time public investment in the devel- opment of Alaska does not appear to be feasible. If Alaska is to be developed it must be on the basis of private capital. The Federal gov ernment should give every possible assistance to responsible citizens who seek to make possible by their investments, the upbuilding of a new frontier democracy. The assistance mentioned refers not to financial aid but to assistance of technical, ad- visory character.
 Individual Basis
 "(2) The brief seems to assume that the form of colonization advo- cated by the Department involves Government planning. What the De- partment intended to propose in its report is planning by the individuals whose lives and investments are in volved in a particular project. The Government would be interested in such planning only by way of check ing in order to see that finances are adequate for the needs of the set tiers so as to provide against their becoming public charges and that the enterprises will not disrupt other enterprises or create unemployment in the States or in Alaska.
 "(3) The brief assumes that the Department desires to encourage large scale colonization at an ex- tremely rapid tempo. While pointing out that the ultimate potentialities of Alaskan settlement may compare favorably with the present Scandi- nayian population, the Department has carefully refrained from making any estimate as to the number of years it may take before this figure is reached. In fact by calling atten- ton to the deepndence of settle ment upon investment. the Depart ment has suggested criterion drastically limiting the number of settlers that Alaska can receive. If, for instance it should be determined that $2,00000 of investment is re- quired to secure the ecoonmic future of each settler, then the raising of as much as $2O,O00000 in the United States for such investment during the coming year would make possible the settlement of only 10000 per- sons. At this rate, it would take more than 1000 years to bring the population up to the total of pres ent day Scandinavia.
 Incidentally the main reason for comparing Alaska with Scandinavia was to bring out the fact that the formers climate and topography are not the obstacles to settlement pop ularly supposed.
 No Immigration Letdown

ify present immigration laws in a way which may admit to Alaska persons who are below the standards set for admission into the United States. I particularly regret this misunderstanding, inasmuch as the only suggestions considered by the Department have been in the direc- tion of raising the standards under which immigrants may qualify, so as to assure a selective process des- tined to bring to Alaska those who are best equipped physically, moral ly and financially to meet present day problems of life in the Terri tory. In this connection I call your attention specifically to pages 79-81 of the Department Report.
 "(5 Certain parts of the brief suggest that the Department plans to send people to Alaska before in- dustries are developed by which they can be supported. Such assumption is quite at variance with what we intended to convey in the report. In order to clarify this misunderstand- ing ask you to read again the sec tion of the report dealing with Planning for Settlement, pages ST. 92, inclusive.
 "(6 The brief suggests that one result of the Departmental Report would be the encouragement of des- titute individuals, whether refugees or Americans, to go to Alaska. As a matter of fact the report throughout attempts to dissuade e individuals without financial resources if 0 m looking toward Alaska for their economic salvation. Furthermore in it's answers to inquiries about Alas kan opportunities, the Department consistently advises correspondents that there are practically no year round job vacancies; that the indi- vidual prospector or homesteader without adequate funds is in hope less position; and that cooperative or corporate pooling of resources and abilities is essential to successful settlement
 To Bring Funds
 "(D A varient in the brief of the above suggestion is that the report would encourage a great many re- fugees, who are unable to finance themselves, to tile in Alaska, thereby creating additional economic difficulties. The Department has ex- pressed special interest in those re- fugees who, because of their par ticular training and abilities, may be able to contribute to the develop ment of Alaskan economy. Many of these people, through their own re- sources or those of friends and rela- tives, could bring to Alaska the funds, machinery and other forms of capital now needed there.
 Tt is hoped that the above ex- planation may serve to clarify cer- tain misunderstanding about the Departmental Report, which are all most bound to arise at the beginning of any new venture or conception. We welcome the kind of criticism you have made. It is only through a frank exchange of views that the best plan can be worked out for de- veloping the Territory.
 we are impressed with your mot to: What Helps Alaska Helps You. That expresses in concise from the attitude of the Department toward this vast problem. We, too, believe that the crux of Alaskan develop ment rests on a business expansion solidly based on individual initiative implemented through the tried ma chinery of corporate organization.

to Alaska, th, e should be a de- termination cf specific facts relating to the Territory's resources, costs of living, business opportunities and job vacancies; CD that if people wish to settle, the number should be linn ited by existing opportunities for livelihood; (3) that private funds should be available for the develop ment of Alaskan industry in advance of new settlers being induced to go to the Territory; (4D that in the de- velopment of Alaska, empha sis should be laid upon the expansion of industries based on minerals, timber, fishing and Eur resources rather than upon agriculture; (5) that there should be no lowering of the eqvirements for the admission of immigrants into the United States so far as Alaska is concerned; and (6) that the Federal Government has a definite responsibility to as sist in the development of Alaska by stimulating sound investment of idle funds.
 Common Goals
 with agreement upon so many fundamentals, we should be able to cooperate toward our common goals. Such cooperation requires not only an accurate appreciation by this Department of the feelings of groups of Alaskans, to which your brief makes a definite contribution, but equally an accurate appreciation by organizations like yours of the true character of the proposals outlined in the Departmental report. So that all of us may approach the situa- tion with the same understanding, l wish to point out what seems to be misconceptions in the brief:
 "d) The brief suggests that Gov ernment financing of settlers is con- templated by the Department. You may have overlooked the following statements in the Department Re-
