 In this second thriller the Rov- ing Reporters become involved in series of bond messenger mur- ders and get themselves in classic spot by breaking a murder story before it happens = and then find ing the victim" murdered sec- ond time!
 But Whalen and Chandler carry on gallantly-even with fair Jean jailed as a suspect and the police on their own trail-and, after a series of thrill-packed adventures, track down the murderer and solve the mystery.

Secrets of a Nurse" and laundering West"
 Playing Here

Emerging from opening days showings as one of the surprise dramas of the year, Universals Secrets of a Nurse" with Edmund Lowe, Helen Mack and Dick Foran, will have its local debut tonight at the Capitol Theatre.
 The timely story theme deals frankly with the sharp contro- versy over ethical or non-ethlcal revelations a professional trained nurse can, or cannot make,
 Lowe plays the central character in an unusual triangle as a high powered criminal attorney who sacrifices romance and reputation as an invincible courtroom strate- gist when he defends his young rival on an open-and-shut murder charge.
 Miss Mack, as a beautiful nurse, and Foran as a young boxer com plete the trio Action begins when Foran, badly battered in a fight is sent to hospital and is mirac- ulously pulled through a battle for his life by the nurse.
 Later the pugilist is framed on a murder charge and on the nurses plea, the lawyer agrees to defend him, even though circumstantial evidence points to his guilt.
 An uphill court battle results, climaxed by one of the most sur prising endings to any story.
 Paul Hurst, Samuel S. Hinds, David Oliver, Leon Ames, Frances Robinson, Dorothy Arnold, Stan ley Hughes and Clarence Muse are outstanding in support
 Also playing is The Thundering West" which stars Charles Star rett.

| That part of the Alaska eco oper- ating in portions of the Territory north and west of Anchorage, in cluding Cook Inlet, will, after March 31, next, be supervised by the Gen. eral Land Office from Anchorage, according to an announcement by Regional Forester B. Frank Heint- zleman. The Forest Service will continue to handle the eco from the Kenai Peninsula south to Fly der.
 The section of the CCC organiza- tion to be transferred to Land Off, flee supervision will cover one-third of the Territorial organization ap- proximately the same proportion that has been assigned to the re- zion north of Anchorage in the past.
 When the CCC program was first authorized for Alaska in 1883, en- rollments and projects were confined to National Forest areas of South east Alaska and the Prince William 0Ouliu lC6iOll, uilucI IOlcSb oCl FiOC supervision. In 1887 the program was extended to other sections of Alaska wher work was justified on the basis of unemployment condi- tions and the need for public inn provements of the type that are au- thorized as CCC projects.

Temporary camps and day labor projects in scores of other localities have been conducted in the past three years; among the Eskimos of the Boring Sea coast, the Indians on the Yu- kon and Kuskokwim Rivers, and among the Whites and Natives of the Kenai Peninsula and Cook Inlet country.

HELICOPTER FLIGHT

New vistas of flying opened as result of the successful demonstration by Igor Sikorsky of true helicopter The helicopters flight is pictured in a newsreel now showing in Juneau
 This experimental machine was developed at the Vought Sikorsky division of United Aircraft under Skorskys direction for the purpose of exploring the practical possibilities of type of aviation radically different from the conventional With it he was able to rise vertically to descend vertically 10 stand still in the air and to forward, backward or sideWise at will. These maneuvers, according to Sikorsky call for no special skill on the part of the pilot The heicopter seems to overcome some of the difficulties inherent in arpane flight Its de- velopment will be an important contribution to the advance of aviation.

 but do not C cynpeW 1.
TUESDAY, JUNE IS

This is an unimportant day in planetary direction It is promis- ing for ambitious leaders and fair- ly favorable for women. The week marks definite concentration on ob- iectives, military as well as politi- cal.
 Heart and Home: Women should enjoy pleasant Inequalities at this time when the stars appear to en- courage preparation for exacting duties in the future. Opportunities for recreation should be improved. This is a time for full enjoyment for peace and plenty, for later there will be tests to Americans as well as Europeans. This is happy wedding day
 Business Affairs; In the manu- facture of airplanes and warships the United States is to attain new standards this year Americans are to make important contributions in designs and machinery The sum- mer will be profitable to whatever is connected with travel in the way of transportation or housing. Res taurants are to gain in their pa- tronage as scientific preparation of food becomes imperative.
 National Issues: Jupiter is to have a definite effect on this country which will attract world attention by it's prosperous condition. The national political campaign is to be distinguished by daring presen- tation of conflicting opinions and personal criticisms that provide ma terial for libel suits However, there will be complete unity in all that pertains to patriotic maintenance of democratic ideals.
 International Affairs: Mexic o comes under configuration that is disturbing to the government. Organizations with subversive aims will encourage difficulties with the United States and may retard set clement of certain financial mat ters. The seeds of revolution may be widely sown as groups under foreign direction gain support Travel in Mexico should be heavy and certain manufactured products will be exceedingly profitable. b'
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of good fortune. Men will gain through con- nection with the Army or Navy.
 Children born on this day prob- ably will be energetic, industrious and optimistic. They may have varied talents. Orators belong to this sign.

FRANCE HUMBLED

A generous peace, fair peace is too much to expect from Adolf Hitler. That France should ask for armstice knowing well that the terms will be harsh is a revealing commentary on the desperate plight of the nation and her army. France looks on anything short of destruction a boon in this hour.
 According to Hitler the terms of the Versailles treaty signed by beaten Germany, were unbearably humilating and severe. But the French, being realists do not expect him to offer the kind of peace he argued for in the days when Germany still used arguments instead of arms.
 England will fight alone. She has seen her allies Czechosloyakia, Poland, Norway, Holland Bel gium and France, disappear by under the German heel The security of her own Isles is threatened as it never was before history British soldiers were overwhelmed in Flanders, in cam paign which awakened England at last to all that this means
 Britains roundup of fifth columnsts, the tre- mendous response the call for home defense vol unteers, the grim acceptance of new taxes and new restrictions the official warning to any manufac- turers showing signs of sackness, rresoution slow starting or mudde"-these are only few of the proofs that revolution has come over the outlook of the British people in the past terrible fortnight The new Churchill Cabinet is proving to be truly national coalition with genuine driving force behind it. The rumble of German guns across the Chan mel is now so close that class royalties, ngrained habits comfortable assumptions are being swept away.
 It takes time to rouse any free nation if there is rresolute leadership at the helm or sense of imagined security in the public mind. The British, perhaps were not yet awake even after they saw the failure Of their expedition to Norway The May II issue of one famous British weekly arrived in New York last week with page of photographs of the German troops who conquered Norway in a whrlwind campaign; the heading across the page was "Nazis in Norway: Infantry Our Men Did Not Find Formidable" And on another page was an

Problem of Food
Cleveland Plain DealeD

Cleveland Plain Dealer)
 Because of war the reliable crop reporting services of leading European nations have broken down. For that one is entirely in the dark to the size of the European harvest and thus of the probable demand for American farm products
 One thing we are certain of is that the entire current crop of northern France and of Belgium has been laid waste. There is chance also, that good deal of the growing crop south of the Aisne and Somme will be destroyed before harvest time.
 It is an established fact that more land is under the blow in the British Isles this year than in any since the World War But under the most favorable crop conditions imaginable the British Isles would still require heavy imports of food and grain. Their problem as to food remains primarily of trans portation and, in part, of credit.
 With Germany the situation is different With all his territorial acquisitions Hitler had not until he occupied Belgium and the north of France added materially to his food production, and in this case, there will be important alleviation of the situa tion from the 194O harvest.
 How much agriculture has suffered in the Reich this side can possibly know. But unless the German genius has excelled itself it has not been able with millions of men under arms, to provide adequately for food and for all military require ments well.
 In agricultural circles in this country there is disposition to plan n terms of the forthcoming European food crisis and believe that the recent sharp declines in wheat and other food staples are temporary. The trouble with this thesis is that it leaves wholly unanswered the question of means of payment at time when exports from the belliger- ents have declined sharply and much productive energy of power and of capital has been de- stroyed.

ITS EASY" SHE SAYS

Parrots, or no parrots, some speakers made some cracks well worth reporting that weren't worth reporting that weren't reported. For instance, Louise Ina den the Little Rock girl who got off the ground to make good said :: ITO those of you who do not. fly I should like to stress this point : the mechanics of flying is NOT a difficult job. Learning to fly is about on par with learning to drive car, ride bicycle or sail a boat. And there are no longer any heroics attached to flying"
 And Bill Stout, who is Presi-
 dent of his own engineering

 nOt-toc- distant future would
 bring the Fay when we could
 buy a 10O- horsepower engine,
 weiging about 100 pounds for
 less than $100; that the wings
 of planes will be detachable;
 that gent may drive his plane
 about the streets until he is
 ready to go to the airport, but
 ton on his flappers and fly
 away home.
 Stout says these new air fliyyers will be better able to land in small CT fields, on rougher ground, ill bumpier air and in suffer cross winds with less flying skill than anything we have now.
