NEW CAPITOL MUSICAL WILL
 OPEN TONIGHT
Story of Vernon and Irene Castle Portrayed by
 Rogers-Astaire

A romance that blosSomed into the greatest dancing team the world has ever known underlies "The Story of Vernon and Irene Castle" in which Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers are co-starred as the two principals. The film opens tonight at the Capitol Theatre.
 The film deals with the real-life career of Vernon and Irene Castle, who danced their way from ob- scurity to fame in a few brief years and who created many of our finest ballroom dances.
 Covering the period from 1911, when Vernon Castle was knock about comedian on Broadway, to his untimely death in an airplane crash in Texas during the World War, the picture presents pam orama of the pre-War days and cavalcade of the tunes of that era. along with the brilliant dance routines created and popularized by the dancing Castles.
 Going to Paris when Lew Fields scornfully told Vernon and Irene that nobody would pay money to see a man dance with his wife, !" the then-unknown pair nearly starved in the French capital be- fore they got their start dancing in a Paris cafe. Within few months they were the sensation of Europe, and their triumphs abroad were topped by their success in this country, as the film vividly discloses.
 With Edna May Oliver, Walter Brennan, Lew Fields and other noted players in important roles, the picture is said to be one of the most entertaining offerings of the year, and it's many dance rou tines and old-time song hits make it the most unusual vehicle the Astaire- Rogers team has ever had. H. C. Potter directed the film, which was produced for RKO Radio by George Haight.

Icy Straits Gamer Says His F District Aided, New
 Regulations

Frank Wright, superintendent of the Icy Straits Packing Company cannery at Hoonah cast new light today on the picture of pro and con arguments following in the wake Of recently issued 1940 fishing regu- lations in Alaska.
 Wright said in effect, T have no complaint. We got a lot of things we wanted in our district
 Planning to go to Hoonah for a ten day visit ironing out production problems for the coming season and make arrangements for certain improvements, Wright is guest at the Gastineau Hotel and will fly to Hoonah tomorrow.
 Wright said with reference to the neW regulations so roundly con- demned by most cannery men, "It is the first time the natives of our district have been given any con- sideration in the making up of the I CS III Oul Qlobl1Ct, WN NSA Y granted three requests made pre- vicusly in interests of conservation and economic betterment of the Hoonah workman.
 However Wright added. What effect the weekly closed period ex- tension will have it something no one can anticipate. No doubt it will curtail some fishing, but the question remains to be seen as to whether or not the fish will school over the weekends. If they do, sein- CTS will make larger catches at the start of each new weeks fishing.

WEATHER BUREAU BALLOON k FOUND
 NEAR CARR0SS

A radio-sonde balloon and instru- ment released by the U. s. Weather Bureau here on December 23, was found on the Tutshi River, British Columbia, on January 6, according to word received today by Meteoro- logist Howard J. Thompson from Joseph L. James, the finder.
 The instrument is the fourth one known to have been recovered since the Bureau began releasing them daily on September l.
 The point where the instrument alighted 20 miles south of Carcross, Yukon Territory, indicating the balloon travelled something over 100 miles. Other instruments released here were picked up on the Stikine River, at Hazelton, B. O., and at Salmon Creek on the Glacier High way.

United States because the two war associates are willing and eager to buy all they can in this coun- try and are not in a position to blackjack us into unhappy terms.
 Rigid as this plan sounds, it may be the one that finally will evolve for Europe and, for a time at least, for the rest of the world when the war ends. All the countries in- volved are fairly likely to follow the German pattern of bi-lateral trade agreements for a time until they can expand them into three or four or many-sided agreements along the Chamberlain lines.
 In any such event they would all have to agree on certain values. for their currency, on capitalized tariff schedules, and a carefully measured give -and-take in finan- cial arrangements which would permit each country to have a balanced trade It never would do for one nation to get caught with an "unfavorable" balance of trade even for a single year. Each would need an agreement with one or more nations to equalize the trade 1 in some fashion, either through direct sale of goods, or through l loans.

FREE TRADE IDEA

Secretary Hull has sought a system of free and open trade un- der which a nation would feel per- fectly safe in buying when and where it wished without fear that it would find itself with banks full of blocked foreign currency. That is Plan Number One casu- ally referred to here as the old system"
 Nevertheless, even Hull has had to modify his plan piece by piece in the direction of a more closely regulated trade. In some of the trade agreements it has been nec- essary not only to agree on quotas, but to base the whole treaty on currency agreements. That was one of the stumbling blocks over which the Argentine U. s. negotiators finally sprawled.
 Whether and how soon this gov ernment will be willing to take the next big step and agree to lend money abroad in order to equalize trade is a speculation.
 Perhaps the United States, since it has most of the gold, will be able to temper the Chamberlain plan in the general direction of Hulls unhampered international trade.
