Alaska Nellie" ReyerSeS The Order, Hollywood Comes To Her

SEATTLE-Picturesque Nellie Neal Lawing, known as Alaska Nellie" to hundreds of sour doughs and tourists, has gone to Hollywood and now has her pub lie.
 The noted 66-year-old big game hunter and resort operator arrived in Seattle from the film capital recently with 300 fan let ters and the manuscript for her forthcoming autobiography, Al aska Nellie"
 She is leaving the story of her adventurous life in the Far North in the hands of the print CT. The letters, received as a re- suit of her recent debut in mo- ton pictures, she is taking to her home in LaWing, Alaska There in the resftul solitude of tower ing mountains and sparkling lak es she will answer each letter in- dividually.
 Perhaps, she indicated, she may inclose a picture of her hunt ing and fishing resort on the shor es of beautiful Lake Kenai. She believes in advertising. Unlike scores of girls young en ough to be her granddaughters, she didn't have to make the pill grimage to Hollywood to get into pictures. As if she had built a better mousetrap, the movies" made a beaten path to her antler decorated door,
 James Fitzpatrick, noted pro- ducer of travelogues for Metro GoldWyn-Mayer, made a techni- color film last June of the viv- acious Nellie and her home life.
 It shows her fishing out of her kitchen window, the line attach ed to the kitchen stove and a bell ringing every time a big one is hooked, a simple and prac- tical angling method that has made her famous.
 It also shows her at her daily chores in scenic surroundings & pictures her in her museum ann ong the trophies of the hunt - moose, bear and other game that fell to Nellie's deadly aim.
 The picture opened recently on the bill at Seattle's Paramount Theater. Her fan mail resulted from the fact that it is now being shown in the east.
 Nellie spent the winter in Hollywood as the guest of her friend, Alice Calhoun, a film eel ebrity of the silent days, and Miss Calhoun's mother. There the Alaska woman finished writing her book when not meeting such movie notables as Harold Lloyd, Mary Piollford, Tom Mix and Shirley Temple
 Next to Seattle, she likes Hol lywood better than any other city in the states she said. But of course, Lawing, Alaska, has them all beat she added.

Suggestions and Criticisms Invited

JUSTICE WAITS on
A POLITICAL PARADE

"The FB1 report was not expected to
be made Soon.'
That sentence, one of a news report
about the investigation of the federal bu-
reau of investigation into subverslve ac-
tivities of Harry Bridges, is not very re-
vealing all by itself. 1t does not mean
great deal even when you know that the
report is to be made to the United States
Justice department, and that it might
furnish the grounds for deportation of
the West coast CIO leader back to his
native Australia.
But when you consider what the report
would do to Democratic New Deal pollti-
cal hopes on the West coast if it were filed
with the justice department and made
public before Nov. 5, the sentence means
a great deal.
1t means, specifically, that the report
will not be made known to the public,
nor to Mr.. Bridges and his supine ClO
members, until after election day
The G-men have been investigating to
determine if Bridges ever engaged in
Communistic activities attempting to
bring about overthrow of the United
States government In the minds of most
observers, there is little doubt that evil
dence will reveal that he did, even though
he might not now be a sworn Communist.
The Joker is that under the new alien
registration act, Bridges can be deported
if at any time in the past he worked for
or advocated overthrow of our govern
ment Under past laws, Bridges could not
be deported unless it was shown that he
was currently engaged in subversive ac-
tivities.
Bridges does not want to be depOrted.
His followers do not want him to be de-
ported. They would not be friendly to
the administration which brought about
deportation. If it appeared before cleo
tion day that Bridges was on his way out
of this country under forced draught, it
is extremely doubtful that Bridges would
exert his vote-getting Influence in favor of
Mr.. Roosevelt, as he did four years ago,
and as he is doing again this year.
So-Bridges will not be disturbed for a
while yet by any agency over which the
national New Deal administration has any
power.
THE FBI report was not expected to
be made soon."

IT BEATS THE DUTCH

Would you favor a government con-
trolled economy?
Holland is trying it out these days.
One wise Hollander sent a letter to
relative in the United States recently
telling about it. The way he phrased the
letter, it got by the German censors with
little trouble. But the way we read it,
the censor was bit thick-headed
Telling of all the mployment-caused
by wartime destruction-th letter writer
said:
''Stupidly, we did not see where we had
money to pay for all this This trouble,
however, is easily solved We print as
many notes as We please to pay wages.
The idea that other nations would not
give a cent for those notes is very silly.
As we shut our frontiers and do not allow
our citizens to travel in other countries,
those notes circulate only in our own be-
loved land and this merry-go-rOund solves
the whole wages and money problem at
once. 1t is really pity that none of our
professors of economy ever thought of
this simple solution"
And that is controlled economy Result?
The Hollander mentions it bit slyly in
the next paragraph.
eve have been a nation that ate too
much. This over eating has given us
many diseases. 1t is marvellous how little
food is really required to enable one to
live and to work"
Yes-that's controlled economy.

Wait for the Big Stick

This is the dangerous era. This
is the period when Americans find
the temptation to talk back" to the
diCtatorS almost irresistible. During
these days the government and pri-
vate but influential citizens must be
more careful than ever about what
they say.
When Norway. Belgium. Holland.
Luxembourg and finally France fell
to the Axis. Americans were plumb
scared to death. They still said
nasty things about Adolf and Benito,
but sometimes they trembled a lit
tie and made the cracks behind
the palms of their hands. They real
lied that with a paltry, badly equip
ped army and a general defense
system of almost no effectiveness,
it wasn't smart to make too many
threats
So congress got busy-feverishly
busy. Funds were appropriated in
sums unparalleled in the country's
financial history. Bills to increase
the size and strength of the navy.
to provide for war equipment and
to draft a large army were passed.
Almost overnight, the country be-
came defense conscious and tackled
the grim task with a vengeance.
What was done is all very well.
It was the only thing congress
could have done, under the circum-
stances. But remember this: With
negligible exceptions the defense

SAFETY RECORD
Sacramento UniOn)

Strictar police enforcement Of the traf-
fic laws is regarded by experts as the
chief reason for improvement in Sacra-
mento's safety record, in which both
deaths and injuries have been cut down
in record fashion.
While enforcement does help, the mo-
torists mostly deserve the credit. The po-
lice can't watch all the autos and drivers
They can watch only a small fraction Of
them. But so long as the drivers watch
themselves and observe ordinary caution
in their driving their lives will be safe as
will be the lives of others.
The city has had two long periods this
year in which no traffic deaths occurred
June was an all-time safety month, with
fewer injuries reported than in any pre-
vious month since the records have been
kept.
July can be made an even safer month.
But the motorists must do the job The
police can arrest. The courts can prose
cute. But the drivers are the ones who
must watch out for the lives and limbs
of our citizens.

system that exists today is precisely
the same we had when France fell.
The United States is not prepared
for war. Ships can be built on
paper within a few weeks-even
days-but it takes months and years
to get them in the water. Equipment
can be ordered with a stroke of
the pen, but it requires years to
build it. An army can be mustered
by an act of congress. but it takes
u long months to provide even
the basic training.
We have provided for defense;
we have not yet accomplished it. We
have started the ball rolling but it
has only started.
1t is too early to take too much
encouragement from Britain's UNI
expectedly gallant stand against
Nazi invasion. This is no time to be
shouting bawdy insults across either
the Atlantic or Pacific ocean.
1t is one thing to take a firm
stand on matters of world policy
and domestic security. 1t is another
to invite. through gratuitous utter
ances, trouble we can't meet at
equal terms.
Evolution of hatreds toward any
other peoples is not necessary TO
our defense. All we need to do is
insist that we be allowed to mind
our own business-and keep armine,
lust in case.

THEY CHOSE IT
THEMSELVES
(Palo Alto TimeS)

NfalO ALTO 1lmeS)
Months ago, long before the bombing
and summarizing got under way around
the British Isles, our Department of
State urged the Americans over there to
come home, and provided the means for
their transportation. The appeals and
the opportunities were renewed later for
the hesitant and procrastinating ones.
But despite those appeals and despite
the State Departments warnings that
those who remained in the trouble zone
would be doing so at their own risk, no
less than $500 Americans decided to
stay in England to see the big military
show with their own eyes.
By now they have seen enough, and are
clamoring for the chances of safe pas
sage home that they spurned when they
were available.
1t is too bad. but nothing can be done
for them now. The ships are not sailing
in the right direction. Moreover, a ship
load of $500 Americans becoming re-
duced to target for a German bomb or
submarine gunner would provide the one
incident required for precipitating our
country into the war. The unconsiderate
attitude of those $500 Americans, strand
ed because of their own deliberate choice,
should not be allowed to force a war upon
the whole population of their home folks.
The consequences of folly belong with
those who choose the foolish course.

NO MORE EGGS, PLEASE
(Oroville Mercury-Register)

Those in charge of the Democratic cam
paign must be rather worried by the
events of the past few days in which Mr..
Willkie has been egged by hoodlums and
Systematically boOed by groups of boys,
paid four bits to boo or deliver ripe to-
matoeS.
If the over-zealous RFC employe who
dropped a metal waste basket from an
18th floor upon the head of pretty girl
seeking Wilkes autograph had struck
Mrs. Willkie instead the incident might
have had a decisive effect upon the cam
paigH. 1t is not inconceivable that it may
anyway.
President Roosevelt saw the danger
when he hastily condemned such actions,
suggesting that the woman who drop
ped the wastebasket be discharged from
her RFC job. Rather, she should be
charged with assault and prosecuted
If such actions towards a presidential
candidate and his wife are tolerated, it
is only one step further to campaigns
and elections such as they have in Mexico,
where terrorism controls. The American
people will not tolerate this.

SENATE DOES LITTLE
CAMPAIGN INVESTIGATING

Big dud Of the campaign year TO
cate is the senate campaign in
vestigating committee. In the 1888
election tina; committee did yeoman
work. uncovering (among other
things the messy Tennessee WPA
scandals.
This year the committees labors
so far have been highly unexcit-
ing. although it has some interesting
material to work on.
A fair example is the delay in
getting action on the New Jersey
situation. Weeks ago the committee
chairman. Senator Gillette. named
Senators Tobey Republican, and
Miller Democrat to a sub-com-
mittee to handle this.
Tobey was raring to go, but Mil
Ter was inactive Miller finally re-
signed, and Senator Josh Lee was
named to his place. Lee at length
reported that he could not serve,
and Alva Adams of Colorado was
given the post. Gillette is now pre-
pairing to draw some cards in the
New Jersey affair himself and hopes
some repor; may be made before
election.

WASHINGTON, Oct. IL The
long-standing split between the
American Federation of Labor and
the Congress of Industrial Organiza-
tions is beginning to be overshad-
owed by the developing rift within
the c. I. O. itself.
This split has left-wing leaders
like Harry Bridges, Joe Curran and
Michael Quill arrayed against more
conservative leaders who have lin
ed up behind Sidney Hillman. So
far. John L. Lewis has played ball
with the Bridges Quill group.
The thing to watch is whether it
all comes to a showdown at the G.
I. o. convention in November
The two factions put on ter
rifle scrap at the recent c. 1. O.
convention in New York. Lewis in
tervened to settle that scrap in favor
of the leftists: the right wing
ers plan to bring the matter up
when the G. l. O. conveneS. and
there may be some extensive fire
works
If an open break is averted it
will probably be because insiders
fear its effect at this time on or
ganiZed labor as a whole. In his
post on the defense commission
Hillman has been working hard to
avoid labor ructions. and a show
down in the convention would hard
ly take place without his okay.
For the long pull, though. there
is at least 4 chance that the A. F..
of L. and c. I. o. will get together
and that the left-Wing groups will

HOLLYWOOD, Oct. IL - An all
seeing camera is working for Or
son Welles is the filming of
Citizen Kane. Nearly every shot
is a special problem for Greg To-
land. the boss cinematographer
and some of them are likely to
look downright spoky.
Most Hollywood sets have only
two or three walls and no ceiling
Most of Welles' sets have a ceiling
and four walls. The camera comes
IN a door. or maybe window
and moves about the room on a
20-foot boom, or crane.
In one scene, for instance the
camera projects clear through the
dining room of a house and into
the living room. The lens picks
up boy playing in the snow out
side, then it turns to pick UP
three actors inside When the peo-
pie move from one room to an
other, the camera FLOWS them all
the way All this requires smooth
work to keep furniture and people

NET EFFECT
SMOOTH

Immediately the letters dissolve
into rebus-like picture of the boy
himself, a small figure on the
white margin of the page. The pic
ture becomes larger the white
background is seen as snoWbank,
with the kid playing there. The
camera has been watching him
through an open window. His moth
er had raised the window to call
to him; now she escses it as the
camera draws back to show her,
the living room and the two men.
All this sounds pretty tricky,
and it is. But the effect, seen on
the screen, is amazingly smooth. I
don't know whether Citizen Kane"
will be a box-office smash but J
do believe that the Upstart Orson
Welles is contributing some i'm

pay for this privilege now because it is the
cheapest way to tell you what values they
