''T0RRID ZONE"
 NEW ACTION HIT
 IS PLAYING HERE
CagneY, Sheridan, 0'Brien Star in Film dt Gross
 2Ofh Century

Probably the fastest, funniest com- edy-drama that Hollywood has given out is "Torrid Zone" Triple-starred with James Cagney, Ann Sheridan and Pat O'Brien, the picture ending tonight at the 20th Century The atre, rings the bell with every line of it's swift-paced dialogue.
 The story is laid somewhere in the banana belt. OBrien, as head man for a big fruit company, is the big shot of Puerto Aguilar, and runs things pretty much to suit himself. Chief thorn in his somewhat tough side is Cagney, as the ace plantation boss, who refuses to be run. When the story opens, Cagney has just given notice that he is quitting and going back to the States. O'Brien has to swallow his pride and bribe him to stay, because he is badly needed. In a fit of temper over this situation, O'Brien goes into the Hotel Nacion- ale Bar, and finds Miss Sheridan cheating the patrons at cards after wowing them with torch song. He orders the chief of police to arrest her and send her back to the States.
 But Miss Sheridan likes the tropics and she also likes Cagney, of whom she has gotten brief glimpse, so she escapes from the boat just before it sails and slows away on the fruit train that is taking Cagney back to his plantation job.

 Entertainment

Juneauites turned out en masse last night to give the Rotary Min strel Show capacity house for its first of two performances. What the audience saw was a local tal- ent show almost unbelievably good.

 Highlights Of the two and one half hour show were an exquisite performance by violin quartet consisting of Mrs. Phyllis Langdon. Corrinne Jenne, Sylvia Davis and Connie Davis; a comedy song by veteran trouper Jack Kearney that had the audience demanding en- core after encore until he ran out of verses, and really funny skit about a tailor shop.
 Director Performs
 Lillian Uggen, director of the show, contributes one of her mimi table song numbers in true pro- fessional style.
 MT Interlocutor John L. Cauble sparkles in an ice cream suit that stands out strikingly from the sea of black faces and bright costumes. He handles his lines without a flaw. pr. w. M Whitehead's slow draWl as end man MT. Poke adds greatly to the comedy of the show. Other interlocutors, Kearney, Kelly Blake and Claude Carnegie, keep the performance bubbling along without a hitch.
 Adding immeasurably to the show is the music of Director Art Uggen and his orchestra consisting of Mrs. Harry Sperling, Mrs. Lang don, Ed Garnick, Cleo Commers, Tea AuSterman and LeROy west.
 George Schmidt Lou Hudson, Bill Spicer and Ray Graf harmon ize in several quartet numbers, ri- valed by a vocal trio consisting of Mary Jeanette Cowling, Edna Lis ton and Mary VanderLeest, which proves it can warble both sweet and hot. A dance speciality by Vera Dreith, accordion duo by Hank Blackwell and Mabel Pouquette and a waltz clog by Kearney, Miss Dreith and Jessie McCrary all brought encores.

5. {. {. Registration
Will Be Accepted
By Edison Institute
Law Firm Understood
To Have Advised Step
After Investigation
Fy TIE Associated Press.

NEW YORK, March 5.-Electric
power circles said today it was prob
able the Edison Electric Institute
would register with the Securities
and Exchange Commission, under
the Public Utility Holding Company
Act.
The institute is a statistical, fact
finding and service organization for
the electric power and light industry.
The matter of its status with regard
to the Holding Company Act arose
when one of its members, Engineers
Public Service Co., listed dues paid
the institute under the classification
of service charges. This resulted in
an S. E. C. investigation into the
nature of services performed by the
institute and conclusions that the
organization did properly come
under the act.
1t was understood in utility circles
the S. E. C. had notified the institute
it would issue a show cause order
unless registration was effected in
the immediate future. Trustees of
Ii1S institute are DISCUSSING III
formally the problems involved in
placing the organizat ton under the
jurisdiction of the governmental
agency. They are due to meet next
week.
A law firm engaged by the in
stitute to determine its status in the
matter was understood to have ad-
vised it to register as a service
organization.
There are a number of power and
light associations in various sections
of the country whose status with
regard to the Holding Company Act
might be affected by the Edison
Electric Institutes case They in
Clude the American Gas Association,
the Arkansas Utilities Association,
the P;-fic Coast Electric Associa-
ton, the Rocky Mountain Electrical
League, the Southeastern Electrical
Exchange and the Missouri Valley

Government Charges
5O-Year MonopoIyin
Aluminium Industry
AIcou Also Accused
Of Humpering Defense
In Summation of Case

B" trs Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 5.-The
Federal Government, summing up
its antitrust suit against the Alu-
minum Co. of America. charged that
Alcoa and its predecessor company
had maintained a monopoly in the
industry for more than a half CEN
tury.
With the trial of Alcoa, Aluminium
Ltd, and so other defendants in its
final stages after nearly three years
of litigation, Walter L. Rice, special
assistant to the United States At
torney General, yesterday further
accused the company of having
waged from 1927 to 1898 "a ruthless
squeeze campaign against COM
petitors"
Ridiculing Alcoas defense, Mfr.
Rice declared the company's brief
contains 16 pages of eulosies for It's
benevolence in dealing with inde-
pendent (aluminum) sheet dealers"
1T is noticeable" he continued,
that these (pages) relate almost
entirely to developments since 1888,
when the Governments investiga-
ton began. From 1927 to 1888,
Alcoa waged ruthless squeeze cam
paign against competitors and was
able to buy out three of them while
four others bitterly complained Of
Alcoa's power"
Complete Monopoly Charged.
The prosecutor said the Govern
ment contended that If competition
were encouraged, the aluminium in
dustry would grow, become healthy
and develop into a much greater
industry than it is today"
Government summation will be
resumed today before Federal Judge
Francis G. Caffey, who is presiding
at the trial without a jury.
The trial is believed by Federal
authorities to have become the long
est ever held before a Judge. The
case was filed April %, 1887.
The Government attempted to
show that Alcoa produced 100 per
cent of the refined, unfabricated
aluminium in the United States; that
it acquired monopolistic power
through crushing every potential
source of competition; and that it
conspired with foreign producers Of
aluminium to restrain trade and con-
troll prices.
The defense, which with the Gov
ernment produced millionaire in
dustrialists as witnesses, sought to
show that the Governments charges
of monopoly and price fixing were
utterly ridiculous" and denied anti
trust laws had been violated.
Prosecutor Rice said that, through
the Canadian Co. Aluminium, Ltd,
and its affiliates, Alcoa and its sub
salaries controlled the ALUMINIUM
output of the world. He said Alcoa's
basic patents expired in 1909.
He charged that the defendants
had hampered defense in that only
327, 600, 900 pounds of aluminium were
produced in 1899, while the Presi-
dents airplane plans called for 8OO,-
100000 pounds for that purpose
alone.

has been at the head of the stock
exchange since a reorganization in
