KEY INDUSTRIAL AREAS OF SOVIET
 FAR FROM NAziS
Alaska Mining Man Tells of Russian Muni-
 lions Cenfers

Nazi forces thrusting spearheads into Soviet Russia are not yet with in striking distance of the huge industrial plants, steel mills and intuition making centers of the US.SR., J. D. Littlepage, mana ger of the Chichagoff Mine, told The Empire today, as he stopped off in Juneau on a business trip.
 Littlepage was mining opera tor in the Soviet for 10 years and is familiar with the country over which much of the fighting is now reported He is the author of Rus sian Gold" one of the outstanding books on Soviet mining properties.
 50 ia IT," Littlepage stated, country where the fighting is going forward is of no industrial importance, so far as supplying the Russian fighting forces are con- cerned.'
 Iron Mines Safe
 The important iron mines of Krivoi-rog are 150 miles southeast of Kiev, Littlepage pointed out, and the aluminium production center of Dneiper-P -Petrovsk, where federal al- Joy plants are located, are 200 miles from Kiev in the same direction Likewise, the steel plants of Kursk and the tractor factories of Khar- kov are beyond reach of the Hit Ter armies, unless a strong offen- sive is launched and Red armies thrown back before winter sets in Where fighting is now taking place, the area is an agricultural belt, Iittlefield said. In the win ter, the mercury sinks to 40 below in this region, he said. The only improved highway to Moscow along the line of German advances is the Minsk- -Smolensk highway, being held by the Red forces, according to Russian reports. Other roads, as winter settles down, will be impas- sable for most motor vehicles, Lit tlefield believes, although he said tank corps could progress along other routes.
 Ural Plants
 People generally do not realize the fast industrial developments in the Ural mountain regions, Little field believes. Over in western Si- beria, far from the Nazi forces, he said, there are huge plants. Muni- tions works at Sverdlovsk and a caterpillar tractor plant and alloy steel mills at Chelyabinsk are able to keep turning out war materials for the Soviet fighting forces with out any immediate threat from the Nazis, he said.
 From these Ural mountain re- gions, three good railroad lines run to Moscow, Littlepage stated.

GASB0AT FANNY
 REPORTED LOST

Reported to the Customs office here today was the loss of the gas- boat Fanny. identification number 31-A-478. the morning of July 2 in Kvichak River, Bristol Bay.
 The boat was owned by the Ma kat Packing Corporation and oper- ated by Thomas Ryan, of Nakeen, Alaska. Fire. the report said, was started from the backfire of the engine while the boat was going down river to pick up scows of fish. Current in the river was too swift for row boats from shore to come to the aid of Ryan, who tried without success to extinguish the flames with a fire extinguisher.
 A total loss. the boat was cov- cred with $500 insurance.

HENRY HATHAWAY, the director

HENRY HATHAWAY, the Director, is on the warpath. His last picture was "cut' after he left the job, and he's sick about it.
 Tt was the best picture I ever made" he says but now-well, I haven't seen it since they finished with it."
 He makes an interesting point We previewed it first in San Ber- nardino, in IA reels, on a Friday night before tough audience. We got no complaints on overlength We cut two reels out, took it to Santa Barbara on Thursday night. Cooks night out, class audi ence. We got 12 preview cards say 1t was too long We took two more reels out, previewed it in Pasadena and 20 cards said it was too long
 How do you like that? It was not too long at IA reels, but it was at nine Why? Because fans don't notice length if they are kept interesting if the story builds scene by scene

and holds together tightly. Cut out a motivating scene here, another there, and it's loosened up-then it drags and seems too long. Why do they cut it down? To be able to run five shows daily instead of four, on the theory they'll fill the house oftener and make more money. But why can't they see that four full houses are better than five empty ones?"
 I wonder how the fans feel about it. I'll skip the name of the picture, which is still pretty good, but if you see it you'll know what Hathaway is talking about.

Louis and Ida are working to- gether in movie for the first time. It's Ladies in Retirement, the the chiller- -meller about the house- hold retainer who kills her mistress and stokes the body away in the old bake-oven by the hearth in that lonely house on the desolate Eng fish moor, year 1886. Ida's the killer, a fine bundle of neuroses, and Louis is the young heel, 994 per cent pure no-good, who finds out and tightens the black mail screws. They carry on their re-and-hounds game of wits in a set that's enough, by it. sell. to give a spectator the willies. Sort of "Wuthering Heights" effect, ideal for chiller.

We talk nothing else at dinner, and then we start plotting for the next days scenes. It's how-about- this way, and how -about-that.

Past Louis, in fore ground, to Ida, poking the fire. Louis is cramped, has to take care not to hide Ida as he taps out his pipe on the bake-oven. It's one of his cute tricks to let Ida know he knows what's inside, to watch her startled, haunted reaction. There's a lot of talk about how it's to be done. Timing, gesture, ex- pression. Intelligent actor-talk, by people who savvy. Some kidding, too, about the Hayward Lupino plea for close-ups.
 Vidor says, with mock solem- nity, Remind me to make my next picture without actors" Says Ida, aside: will we get cur close-ups? Oh, yesp She gig gles. Louis and I-we're strictly closeup actors. No medium shot stuff for us!"
 Vidor is preparing a Hayward closeup as I leave.

Says Country is Haven to
Oppressed of Other Nations

"Our land is looked upon as haven
for the oppressed of other nations be-
cause here they are not compelled to
bend their knee to Kings and titled
officials but only to the Great Master
said Senator Homer M. Carr OF Proc
tor in his address to over thousand
people at the Memorial Day exercises
at Whiteside Park on Friday.
1.-The early settlers came from across
the great waters with one mind to
get away from oppression and come
where there was freedom to worship
your God in any manner you choose;
where there were free schools, free
discussion at town meetings free
speech aSd free press. For this prin-
cpile the people fought later at the
battle of Bunker Hill and with George
Washington at Valley Forge.
Think about the price paid in the
7 years of revolutionary war where the
Declaration of independence was born
and from the foundation of which was
formed our great democracy and from
which the country expanded in great
strides westward" said Senator Carr.
"Selfshness and greed again raised
its ugly head in 1861 and the civil
war again pitted fathers against sons
and brothers against brothers from
which emerged the Great Abraham
Lincoln, who took his place alongside
of Washington among the immortals.
To-day we are memorializing the
Army of the Republic, the Civil war,
the Spanish-American war and the
World war. Now the war drums are
again beating and thousands of men,
women and children are dying every
