IAH SHOWING OF BERRY HIT THIS EVENING Thunder AfIoot" Closes
 Al Capitol '.'''
 Theatre

Adding another prize portrait to his gallery of memorable character izations, Wallace Beery climbs still another rung in stellar rating as the tugboat captain who joins the Navy and tries to fight the war single handed in Thunder Afloat," ," which ends tonight at the Capitol Theatre
 Breathtaking as the action thrills of the picture are, Beery still dom- mates the story in two-fisted fash ion. with Chester Morris lending notable support as his tugboat rival and Virginia Grey, as Beerys daughter, the only woman in the cast, holding the romantic interest with refreshing zest and appeal.
 The action shots at sea are the most realistic ever brought to the screen as subchasers and U-boats engage in warfare, lightship is torpedoed, Gloucester schooner attempts to ram a submarine and is sunk by gunfire, and the under sea boat finally is crippled with depth bombs. Spectacular under water camera work, chaser fleet speeding through stormy seas, and scenes within the interior of the submerged U-boat, keep audiences on the edge of their seats through out.

PAA Seattle Juneau Line Linked With United Air
 Lines for Speed

SEATTLE, June IL Citie s throughout the United States and the Americas will be placed only hours away from once remote AL askan points through connections of domestic airlines in the United States with the projected service Of Pacific Alaska Airways between Seattle. Ketchikan and Juneau, it is disclosed today in bulletin is- sued by United Air Lines
 AS examples of the new speed to be given travel to and from the northern territory, flying time from Juneau to San Francisco will be approximately 12 hours; to Los Angeles, IA hours; to Chicago, 21 hours and to New York, 25 hours. Such cities at Nome, close to the Arctic Circle, will be just 20 hours from California; B hours from the Atlantic seaboard.

The new Alaska ser vice will give United it's fourth con- nection with Pan American Air ways schedules, since the com psnys Mainliners already link up with Pan Americans Clippers fly ing the Pacific from Alameda, Cal, to Hongkong; it's Clippers flying the Atlantic from New York City to Europe and its land transports flying from Los Angeles to Mexi- co, Central America and South America.
 Speed up Travel
 Harold Crary of Chicago, Vice President in charge of traffic for United, commented on the fact that the connecting services be- tween Alaska and the United States not only will vastly speed up travel from the Territory to cities throughout the United States but also should result in substantial increase in travel from the United States to Alaska.
 Without any airplane service be- tween the United States and AL aska, we have noticed steadily increasing steamer plane business through both Seattle and Van couver," the official said. Now, with airplanes flying from Seattle to Juneau in seven hours, travel to and from the Territory should be stimulated enormously"

ASHIN GTON, = Republican presidential lightning may strike a long shot at the Philadelphia convention, June 24.
 Although political bookmakers give Dewey, Taft and Vandenberg preferred listing in the race for standard bearing honors, COP. dark horse chances are by far the best in 20 years.
 The scramble is the first real contest since the Frank Lowden- Leonard Wood deadlock in 1920 produced Warren Harding as a surprise nominee. Coolidge in 1924; Hoover, in 1928 and 1882, and Lam don, in 1886, virtually had won before the conventions opened. Many Walks of Life
 Among the present group of so- called lesser contenders and dark horses are a former President, Her bert Hoover; Supreme Court Justice, Owen J. Roberts; two busi- ness men, Utility Chieftain Wen dell Willkie and Newspaper Pub fisher Frank E. Gannett; two Sen- ators, Charles L. McNary and H. Styles Bridges; and Republican House Leader Joseph A. Martin Jr.
 Gannett and Bridges have made extensive campaigns for the nom- ination and Willkie is a ''recep- tive" candidate and active speaker Hoover has said he wasn't a candi- date for any office, but he has a substantial following. ssocia te Justice Roberts has stated he has no political ambitions. Senator Me Nary, Oregon's favorite son, hasn't taken his possibilities seriously and Representative Martin of Massa- chusetts merely chuckles at men ton of his name. Here's a brief appraisal by neutral observers of the assets and liabilities of these dark horses:
 WENDELL WILLKIE So om e would put him in to expand the Big Three" into a Big Four" He has made rapid gains in preference polls. Combines punch, home-spun logic and wit in speeches. .. Has administrative ability and wide knowledge. Credited with lib- eral tendencies. As head of billion dollar holding company, Willkie would be open to campaign fire as a Wall streeter" Lacks delegate strength, was a Democrat until few years ago. Most 'Willkie for President talk is in Pullman cars, little in the day coaches.
 HERBERT Rated high in qualifications because he h as been President and because of his knowledge of foreign affairs. Has improved considerably as a political speaker since 1892. The severity of his defeat eight years ago still hangs over his vote winning abil- ity.
 FRANK E. GANNETT - Won political spotlight when, as organ izer of the National Committee to Uphold Constitutional Govern ment, he helped defeat President Roosevelt's plan to enlarge the Su- preme Court. Supporters cite his record as successful publisher with sound social welfare out look" Has poor boy makes good" background, traditional American political asset. Is a comparative newcomer in national political field.
 JUSTICE ROBERTS = Talk of the Pennsylvania jurist as nom inee started before the 1886 cam paign and still goes on although he stated last summer he was wholly unavailable" -. Rated moderately liberal, has high mental

COUNT THEM ! VERY CLOSE

DENVER, June - Colorado's grizzly bear population is just about static The 1940 game census dis closed there still are approxi- mately 10 grizzlies, all man-eat- CTS, in the state The number hasn't changed for several years.
 Deer in national forests in- creased about 20 percent during the year and elk about 10 per- cent. There are an estimated 130,900 deer in the states forests and 19,200 elk. This is about 88 percent of all the deer in the state and about 95 percent of all the elk.

 attachments. Would need consider able build-up.
 SENATOR McNARY = Veteran Republican strategist with pro gressive" western "help-the-f farmer" views. Would run strong in farm regions. Has many influential friends. He is 65, would lack color as a standard bearer
 SENATOR BRIDGES-Aggressive foe of New Deal with administra- tive background as progressive Gov ernor of New Hampshire. One of earliest contenders for the nomin- ation. Preferential polls show lack of large following. Being from east ern state with small electoral vote is handicap
 REPRESENTATIVE MARTIN - Keen Republican tactician. Voted ablest man in the House in poll of newspaper correspondents. Very popular among Democratic, as well as Republican, colleagues. Better organizer than campaign speaker, Short on radio eloquence and plat form "oomph"
 Four others quite frequently men tioned as long shot' possibilities are Rep. Bruce Barton, of New York, Governors Bricker, of Ohio; Vanderbilt, of Rhode Island, and James, of Pennsylvania.
