SCREEN COMEDY | ENDS TONIGHT
 AS LOCAL HIT
"zenobia" fo Have Final Showing al Capitol
 Theatre

With a cast studded with stars and story filled with action and humor, Hal Roach's "Zenobia," a merry comedy romance of the old South was ushered into the Capital Theatre last night and won the plaudits of a large and distinguished audience.
 Among the notable Hollywoodites who take part in the carefree doings of "Zenobia" are Oliver Hardy, Jean Parker. June Lang, Billie Burke, Alice Brady, James Ellison and Har- " Langdon The story, picturized from the well-known short story, "zenobia's Infidelity." by H. c. Bun ner, relates the unexpected turn of events in the Tibbitt family when Dr. Tibbitt, played by Oliver Hardy, administers first aid to a sentiment al elephant, Zenobia. The pachy- derm is grateful to her benefactor, in fact, so grateful she causes the collapse of his social standing. More than that, her unbecoming behavior ends in a court scandal.
 Billie Burke and Alice Brady are cast as society women who don't see eye to eye. Jean Parker, James Ellison and June Lang comprise the romantic triangle and turn in cap ital performances Harry Langdon, as the impresario of a medicine show, indulges in some side-splitting comics, and Hardy, as the medico who causes all the fuss, turns in his most impressive portrayal to date. Others who add to the general gay ety and suspense of the story are Stepin Fetchit and Philip Hurlic
 The direction of "Zenobia' was in the capable hands of Gordon Doug ! las, who yielded his baton with sureness and swiftness. The story moves along, dropping laughs and comic situations and working up to a brilliantly conceived climax. Law ish sets, automatically executed, and unusually fine lighting effects add their importance to the excellence of "Zenobia" .as one of the screens new comedy hits.
 This feature is on for the last two times tonight.

 First, you realize the people who come in to see us here are desperate, some of them tempo rarily insane. They are either thinking of taking their lives at any moment or they have already made an unsuccessful attempt to do so. There are no set rules about how to handle them. The main thing is that we deal with them the minute they come in you've got to take them as they come = no appointments. We may get through with case in 20 minutes-one consultation l had took 4 hours.

All fishing ornoc ovnanf
l946 and thereafter 100

Under the provisions of he last mentioned bill every employer engaged in the fishing industry would be required to keep record of all persons employed, showing the residence of each; and in the case of resident employees the date on which they acquired residence in the Territory. The records would always be open to inspection of the officers and agents of the Interior Department. the Bureau of Fish cries, the Treasurer of Alaska, the Territorial Labor Commissioner, and the Attorney General of AL aska. Independent fishermen sell ing their catch to an employer would be considered as employees of the purchaser.
 The Delegate believes that the enactment of either of the pro- posed measures will go far toward increasing the resident population of Alaska, as well as insuring livelihood to bona fide Alaskans now engaged in the fishery indus try

WORK FOR ALASKANS
 ON NAVAL AIR BASES

It now appears that most of the disputes with respect to the em- ployment of residents of Alaska in work on the naval air bases at Sitka and Kodiak are in a fair way of being adjusted.
 Before the bill carrying appro- priations for these two bases was passed by Congress, Delegate Di- mond requested the Secretary of the Navy to employ Alaska work men cn the projects so far as available, pointing out that the Territory of Alaska as a Territory in cooperation with the Federal Government maintains an employ ment service which would be help ful in supplying all types of labor and that the American Legion posts in Alaska would be in a po- sition to render assistance in sec ing that Alaska workmen had a fair opportunity to obtain what ever jobs were available. The Sec retary suggested that it would be an advantage financially for the contractors to employ as many skilled mechanics and laborers at or near the site of the work as possible and therefore, it was likely that full usage would be made of the services of qualified local workmen in construction of the projects.
 Contractors Contract
 However, after the contracts were awarded to the Seims-Spokane Company, Johnson, Drake and Piper, Inc, and the Puget Sound Bridge & Dredging Company, by the Navy Department, the con- tractors entered into a contract with the AZ. of L. unions in Se- attle that in reality discriminated against residents of Alaska. Those discriminations were of four types.
