BOSTON. June 18.-Chester Ross s six brothers are ballplayers. Ches- ter Ross's wife used to play short stop on a championship girls soft- ball team.
 It would seem to follow that Ches- ter Ross is a ballplayer He ls- and Hub City fans think he's one of the best newcomers in the Ma tional League.
 Chester came up from Evans vile of the Three-I League last September and joined the Bees for III games of National League sea soning He peppered the ball for 1923 average in those closing games. With Evansville during the season he had hit .306 and batted in III runs.

 He impolitely smacked scream ing triple, then scored the winning run after a long fly. That's what the fans like mostly about Ross That 320 average he was sporting at the end of 26 games this year looked good, but it looked better to the grandstand and bleacher sit ters because Chester's hits came at opportune times.
 Ross, husky Buffalo boy, takes no sass from anybody-hes a mo- tor vehicle bureau worker in the off-season. This is only his second full season of professional baseball.
 Hartford Gloom
 He played two months with Beav- CT Falls in 1937 In 1888 he was playing with Hartford-and how he was playingl On five successive days he hit home runs. On the sixth day he suffered a leg injury that throt- tied him for the rest of the year.
 The moaning of Hartford base ball fans could be heard for miles in every direction.
 And if anything like that hap pened to MT. Ross this year you can expect some high-powered moaning up around Boston way. They like their rookie outfielder.

 Since it was Mr. Olivier who pro- duced the play and directed, most of the brickbats were heaved into his dressing room. They accused him of mumbling his lines, of being indistinct, and of prancing around the stage in sort of a daze. They said Miss Leigh was lovely but that she was in no sense the shoulder ing maid of l4th century Italy that Juliet was supposed to be. Juliet was IA, and there is an old sacred COW of critical opinion that says no actress can play the role until she is forty.
 Miss Leigh is long way from 40, but she was an old hand at Shakespeare long before she ever delivered a stinging slap across Rhett Buffers cheek. So was Oli-

Laurence Olivier, Vivien Leigh Appear in "Ro-
 meo and Juliet"
By GEORGE TUCKER

NEW YORK, June 18-Youd think we were coupe of inter- lopers from Hollywood trying to taunt the critics into fury
 It was a black Friday indeed for Laurence Olivier. About him were scattered the New York daily newspapers, They carried sour re- views of his play, Romeo and Ju- lien" which had opened on Broad way the night before The front pages were flaming with headlines Britain threatened France in- vaded.
 MT. Olivier is an Englishman. He is engaged to marry Miss Viv- fen Leigh, the erstwhile Atlanta Jezebel of Gone With the Wind" Miss Leigh had opened in the play with him in the role of Juliet. The critics had hopped on this produc- tion, some of them savagely. They should have called it Laurence and Vivien' instead of Romeo and Jul
 
 jet, one critic wrote.
 All this left MT. Olivier slightly stunned.
 Did any actor ever get worse reviews, I Wonder?"
 He was assured many actors had drawn worse reviews = Raymond Massey's attempt at Hamlet, for in stance.
 Tn 3 way, this was a disappoint- ment to great number of people wto aren't even connected with the theatre. Miss Leigh made such a hit in Wind" and when her en- gagement to Olivier was announced the Romeo and Juliet idea seem ed sort of lovers dream come true.
 But the reviewers, almost with out exception, condemned the pro- duction. One critic suggested the only reason they decided to play Shakespeare's tragedy of the star crossed lovers was because they were in love themselves and were irving to cash in on the publics

 Washington

Possibility that the PAA Clippers may yet be given authority to carry mail and passengers between Ket- chikan and Juneau was seen m a telegram received today by Gov Ernest Gruening from Ruth Hamp- ton of the Division of Territories and Island Possessions of the De- partment of the Interior.
 Yesterday Delegate Anthony J Dimond and Paul Gordon of the Division of Territories called on Chairman J. Walter Madden of the Civil Aeronautics Authority and conferred with him and other CAA officials regarding protests from Governor Gruening and residents of Ketchikan against the prohibi- ton which makes impossible for the Clippers to carry mail from Ketchikan to Juneau.
 The following points were es- tablished at the conference, accord ing to the telegram today to Iile Governor:
 "l.-Prohibition against local traf- fife in this instance does not nec- essarily constitute precedent ap- plying to local traffic in other parts of Alaska.
 "2.-Inauguration of Seattle to Juneau service with prohibition ap- piled does not initiate against re- viewing this matter at any time in the future.
 "3-CAA now has applications from other operators for certifi- cate of convenience and necessity for service between Juneau and Ketchikan and wishes to keep matter of local service open until these applications come up for &C., ton. If at this time PAA is grant, ed permission for local business

TOP COMEDY 3 7 ROMANCE AT
 LOCAL SHOW
Bachelor Mother Ends at Capitol Theatre
 Tonight

The stormy romance between a strong -willed department store exc cutive and an unmarried salesgirl whom he unreasonably believes to be the mother of baby boy provides the amusing b a is of Bachelor Mother in which Ginger Rogers and David Niven have the top roles. The picture has its final showing tonight at the Capitol Theatre.
 As the behind the counter gal forced to rear a child whom she accidentally finds, Ginger enactS some of the most exciting exper- fences in her screen career. Despite her denials of motherhood, her em- ployers and friends are convinced, through circumstantial evidence, that the baby is hers; and in order to keep her job she is obliged to assume responsibility of the infant.
 David Niven, as Miss Rogers handsome employer, falls in love with her in spite of her embarrass- ing position. The progress of their romance, coupled with their hectic battles concerning the proper rear ing of baby provides delightful comedy-which is only a prelude to the unroarious climax where Niven's father is falsely led to believe that his son is the tots dad and himself its grandfather.

below Grand Coulee Dam from the traps at Rock Island"
 The fish compartment in each truck holds 1000 gallons of water, and the water in the truck is circu- lated by means of centrifugal pump Tee storage cooling systems on the trucks reduce the temperature of the water in which the fish are hauled to nearly that of the stream in which they are planted, MT. Suo- mela explained.
 Picket racks or weirS are con- structed in the streams and at the lake outlets to prevent the planted salmon from returning to the Col umbia.
 Chemical analysis of the water in the streams where the fish were planted and control over the water used in the trucks to transport the fish made possible careful adjust ment of the fish to their spawning streams.
 The average distance the fish were hauled was between 55 and 60 miles, while the longest haul was approximately 150 miles. During the season, total of 36,237 food and game fish were salvaged by this system. Of these 11,026 were chin ooks; 19,591 were bluebacks, 5,427

 The mortality of the fish trans planted was exceedingly low, and the fish appeared content to re- main in the streams where they were planted, MT Suomela reported
