Solid Triangle Exists af Legislature

The House of Representatives. the Senate, and the Gallery, are in per feet accord today on at least one subject.
 Charlie Raatikainen, developing the town of Pelican at Lisianski Inlet, where his cold storage com pany is building, came to town the other day from the construction scene to sit in on the Legislature for a few days.
 Tn the House, Charities best friend is A. P. Walker, who has intimated he might move to Lisianski and grow up with the new town. He says Lisianski is a wonderful spot"
 Senator Henry Roden, power be- hind the throne on the Pelican project, completes the friendly tri- angle. Roden says Lisianski should have had big town years ago"
 Caucusing harmlessly, the three are interested in pictures Raatikain- en brought to town showing nearly half hundred boats moored at one anchorage off the townsite of Peli- can, a completed wharf, seven new family residences on shore, and the

HOLLYWOOD = In the movies, blondes are more expensive than brunettes.
 Gregg Poland. Samuel Goldwyn's chief cinematographer, has taken a clinical interest in the matter and reduced facts to figures. It costs ap- proximately $20,000 more to photo- graph blonde star than brunette in feature length film, Poland says.
 Poland, currently working on "Wurthering Heights which stars Merle Oberon, a brunette, has a gadget called an electric eye" which measures in milliamps the amount of light players absorb.
 Blondes require more intricate arrangements of lights and more of them says Poland "They seem to absorb set illumination and must have at least 50 per cent more side lamps than brunette.
 "I should say it takes 30 per cent  more time and 50 per cent more lighting equipment. Conservatively. it runs about $20,000 more in light ing costs when the leading lady is a blonde"
 Toland refused to predict that the movie blonde would become passe but considers it significant that the straw-haired maidens, once consid cred a MUST on the studio star lists, aren't economic assets-from tech nical viewpoint. And the fact re- mains that there are fewer flaxen- topped feminine stars, natural or otherwise, than formerly.
 In 1924, 83 per cent of the movie femmes were blondes. Today they can almost be counted on your fingers-but Toland says the drop can't all be charged to movie ecoonmy.

ARMY FILM Al
 CAPITOL ENDS
 HERE TONIGHT
Yellow Jack" Co Stars Robert Montgomery,
 Virginia Bruce

A startling page from American history is splotlighted in the new picture. Yellow Jack at the Capi- tol for the last time tonight.
 Robert Montgomery is cast in his most dramatic role since Night Must Fall" with Virginia Bruce playing the feminine lead and Lewis Stone portraying the historical character of Major Walter Reed who was instrumental in the isola- ton of yellow fever.
 Director George Seitz has placed the action of the picture against the tropical background of an army m dical encampment after the Spanish-American War.
 The supporting cast is one of the most capable seen in recent months. including Andy Devine, Henry Hull, Charles Coburn, Buddy Ebsen, Hen " O'Neill, Janet Beecher, William Henry, Alan Curtis and Sam Le- vene.
 The story is that of the army medical commission sent to Cuba in 1900 to ascertain the cause of a yellow fever epidemic. Faced with almost insurmountable obstacles, the commission finally realizes that it's only hope for success is the volun- tary service of soldiers as human guinea pigs in fulfilling experiments designed to establish the cause of the disease. Montgomery stirred by the death of a friend, caused by the fever, persuades four of the men to join him in volunteering Their heroic act is one of the thrill ing pages in medical history

Rolling Pin Wins Way In Senate

Senator Joe fiofman of Seward made safe for rolling pins and by inference perilous husbands yester- day when by vigorous single-hand- ed fight he obtained Senate approval of House joint memorial No To- call- ing on the Department of Agricul- ture to make an intensive survey of the possibilities for establishment in the Territory of minor ood-using industries.
 A rhetorical rolling pin came sail ing into the Senate chamber when Holman declared that Alaska should have a number of small factories operating, turning out such articles as rolling pins, and that passing of the memorial would help to bring this about.
 The Senator from Seward deliv- cred such stunning blows with his rolling pin argument that Sena- tors, who apparently were six to two against the memorial when it came to the floor, finally passed it un- animously.
 Four Memorials Killed
 Four other measures already passed by the House fared less well yesterday, however. The Senate took up House joint memorials Nos. 4, 5, 6 and one by one and land them on the table, thus killing them for the session. Such action was recom- mended by the Committee on Fish cries, Game and Agriculture, which held that the measures were of triv- ial nature The memorials called on Congress, the Bureau of Biological Survey the Bureau of Fisheries, Delegate Anthony J. Dimond, the Secretary of Agriculture, the Sec retary of the Interior and President Roosevelt to do a number of things such as transferring control of sea otter from the Department of Com merce to the Department of Agri- culture, supplying1 funds for wild life survey, establishing a Forest and Range Experiment Station and establishing fire protection for pub lie lands in the Territory. All had been introduced by Representative James V. Davis of Juneau
 Two other Davis memorials were passed. Nos. and 9 urge the De- partment of Agriculture to promote pulp and paper development in AL aska and to lower the standards for forest highways in the Territory. Both passed unanimously.

fiseating the refugees only means of obtaining money
 Immigration On Increase
 The American quota on immi- grants from Germany, which had been 25.9s7 a year. was changed a few months ago to 27.370 because Germany took over Austria.
 Until this last year, immigration was considerably under that figure tsee charD. But in the l2 months ending June 30 1888, l7004 German immigrants were admitted, The Aus trian immigration during the same period was 864 double that of the preceding year. And the Italian fig ure was 3,428, and increase of 500
 The difficulty of meeting immi- grantion requirements has retarded immigration to some extent. Diff culties with government regulations abroad also are believed to have re- stricted the total.
 But the state department says immigration from greater Germany will exhaust the annual quota this fiscal year, and will probably con- tinue to do so for some years to come in view of the large demand for vis- as registered in consular offices abroad
 To date. 70 to 75 per cent of the Germans coming in are Jews, but since the Austrian anschluss. in March, new group, consisting iarg- ely of Catholics and some Protes- tants, has begun to arrvie.
 Skilled Labor Rare
 Ninety per cent of the Chris tians now coming in are reported to be professional people-profes- sors, doctors. and lawyers-who seek intellectual freedom.
 The Jewish refugees have en- gagged in greater variety of occu- pations, since persecution has fallen on all Jews alike. When the purge began, most refugees were profess sional people but now the majority of incoming refugees are small mer- chants.
 So far, there have been few skilled craftsmen among the refugees but with the coming of the Austrians the organization feels perhaps few European crafts and skills may be introduced here.

By LYDIA GRAY SHAW AP Feature Service Writer

NEW YORK, Feb, 2.-Some of the saddest people in the world are finding their way to the heart of the gay White Way at the end of a cross-Atlantic trek in search of sec urity and happiness.
 In the middle of the theatre dis trict is an undstinctive office build ing. In that building is the clearing house for German and Italian re- fugees.
 There, 80 workers of the National Coordinating Committee for Aid to Refugees and Emigrants Coming from Germany now plans to help Italian refugees, tool daily listen to real life stories more dramatic than those enacted on the famous stages of the neighborhood.
 Late Into The Night
 Late into the night. the staff la bors to help bewildered arrivals find relatives, jobs, places to settle. And 1t advises American relatives how to help their kin abroad.
 Founded in the summer of 1884 by James G. Mcdonald, League of Nations refugee commissioner, the organization, composed of 20 coop erating units, cares for Jewish and Protestant refugees. CThe Catholic Committee for Refugees from Ger many, maintaining separate of flee, watches over Catholics from abroad.)
 At the office of the coordinating committee, of which Joseph P. Chamberlain, Columbia university law professor, is acting chairman, there is bedlam. Every elevator brings a group of German-speaking men and women up to the large waiting room. Newly-arrived refugees sit alongside citizens seeking to help re- latiyes abroad Phones ring cons tantly The man at the information desk answers questions all day long, speaking with a heavy German &C., cent. His patient encouraging smile never wavers.
 Money A Mystery
 Most of the refugees have heard of the committee while still abroad.
 Miss Cecilia Razovsky, executive director of the committee, explains how they get there
 They come in on the regular quota, but the American cities have laid down the restriction that each German and Austrian applying for Q visa, have an affidavit from an American citizen guaranteeing him support in case he cannot find work. :"
 There are strict regulations in the fatherland on the amount of money the newcomers may bring with them, but some of them get around the rules in one way or an- other. How? They're not telling.
 When the first refugees began to arrive, the immigration authorities allowed many who had converted their cash into salable articles like cameras and microscopes to bring those things in duty-free. But as the pressure has become greater, they have enforced restrictions to the letter, though it may mean con-
