about the union of the South Slavs Every foot of Yugoslav soil was paid for with suffering, misery and death. The soil liberated with lives and blood should likewise be defended: let the fiery sword oi the sons of the noble race defend their home.
 In these days of totalitarian governments, when human freedom and liberty is at stake, when na- tions are being overrun by hordes of dictators, when the peoples are enslaved and civilization put to trial, Yugoslavia-the land where the first constitutional law was es- abolished (by Dushan SilnD - should never surrender it's freedom cowardly
 The Serb National Federation the largest Serbian fraternal or ganization in the United States anC Canada, representing the natural ized citizens of the Serb race and their descendants greet their coun- try of birth and ancestry with the appeal to the Yugoslavs to defend Yugoslav territory, freedom and ciyilization-and not to permit to- talitarian hordes to overrun the sacred land where millions o1 graves stand as mute evidence o1 people who knew how to cherish and defend liberty. It is a greater and nobler honor to die in glory than live in shame and slavery

BENNETT-RAFT
 TEAM SEEN IN NEW PLAY HERE
Stirring Story of Woman $ Devotion Seen al Capitol Theatre

Highly emotional drama and honest to- goodness thrills are in store for filmgoers when they wit ness Walter Wanger's new film production, The House Across the Bay" which opens tonight at the Capitol Theatre, with George Raft and Joan Bennett heading an im- posing cast of Hollywood top notchers. This new picture not only introduces new romantic team composed of Raft and Miss Ben nett. but it brings the beautiful Miss Bennett forward in one of her most varied and exciting roles to date.
 Walter Wanger is to be con- graduated for having filmed this story which deals with women whose husbands cross the law and leave them behind while they serve prison sentences. The picture spotlights the plight of these wom- en, beautiful, exposed to tempta- tions, but trying to be faithful to their men behind bars. Joan Ben nett, playing the role of Brenda Bentley, speaks for all those women who are left without their men to battle a hostile world and to save their faith and loyalty.
 The House Across the Bay marks the first time the spotlight has been turned upon the story of these women. When Brenda Bent ley travels to San Francisco and rents an apartment overlooking San Francisco Bay so that she can be near her husband, serving a term in a Federal Prison, she is acting a real-life episode torn from actual court records. For Brenda Bentley is fictitious character only in that she is not an indi- vidual but represents a composite of a group.

GOVERNOR HIIT5LAB0R
 DEpT..BILL
Full of Faults, Declares Message Becomes Law
 Sans Signature

Criticizing the Department of Labor bill for a long list of al- legged shortcomings, Gov Ernest Gruening nevertheless let the measure become law without his signature yesterday afternoon be- cause, as he stated in a letter to the Senate, it represents the only gain that labor has made in the Fifteenth Territorial Legislature now drawing to a close"
 The bill became law at 4:30 O. clock yesterday afternoon, three days after it was received by the Governor.
 Tt should be pointed out the Governor wrote to the Senate, that various other desirable labor re- forms in existing statutes have been lost in this session by scant margin. That under the national New Deal administration the Ter ritory should so little reflect the progressive tendencies of our lead ership-tendencies which believe the vote of the Alaska electorate has repeatedly endorsed-is regret table,
 Residence Requirement
 The Governor found fault with the qualifications placed upon the office of Commissioner of Labor, declaring the 35-yeart age mini- mum unnecessarily high and the 10-year Alaska residence "fantas- tic, without precedent, parallel or i justification" fe
 The residence requirement., which applies to all employees of the new Department except clerical the Governor pointed out was lover twice as stringent as the residence requirement. for the Pioneers Home
 He. called the requirement. disas- trous to the growth and progress of the Territory, if it were followed in other offices.
 
 Tt would in effect" he said, "bc hanging a sort of keep out sign on Alaska-a sparsely settled Ter4 ritory in need of more population. !"
 Other Objections
 The Governor also objected to the power to fill vacancies in ths Commissionership resting with the Attorney General, Auditor and Treasurer saying such power should belong to the Governor with confirmation by the Legisla- ture. Other faults found with the bill were that the $3,600 salary for the Commissioner is too low, the office should be. appointive rather than elective and there are num- Der of complicated legal questions raised by the bill which would in- terfere with the administration of the office.
