 The presence of IT native chil- dren, ranging in age from two to eight years, whose names appeared on trappers' affidavits covering the taking of the pelts was proof enough for the federal judge to re- fuse the claim of Leo Kaye, fur trader, to the skins.
 Defense Attorney Julian A. Hur- ley, representing Kaye, contendeo it had been the policy of the game commission to seal all skins taken for all members of every native family, regardless of age.
 Also implicated in the case was a U. s. Commissioner at McGrath who sealed the skins presented on the false affidavits.

BOYS TOWN E
 FILM FEATURE
 FOR CAPITOL
Famous Cast Returns in Another Story of Father
 FIdnagan's Work

Men of Boys Town coming three years after the notable screen achievement of "B oys Town" was worth waiting for. Not in any sense a sequel, because this drama stands on its own merits as one of the most dynamic, heart warming entertainments of the sea- son, the new picture, again starring Spencer Tracy and Mickey Rooney, opened last night at the Capitol Theatre.
 The story is woven around Father F7anagan's increasing finan- cial problems as he overexpands to care for the increasing hundreds of boys who appeal to him for aid. But such troubles mean nothing to him when boy needs him. Tracy is hard pushed for honors by Rooney as Whitey Marsh, Mayor of Boys Town. now more mature, who has become Father Flanagan's s right hand
 | The film reaches its stirring cli- max when Whitey is adopted by two wealthy people, gets into the hands of the law when he tries to help a boy criminal and is sent to reform school. Father F'lanagan's bringing to light the true state of affairs provides suspense, excite ment and dramatic impact
 Director Norman Taurog's hand is evident in the work done by two boys, Larry Nunn as Ted Martley, crippled boy who murders re- form school guard and is placed in Father Flanagan's custody, and seven-year-old Daryl Hickman as Flip, a kid bandit.

 These, declared the Japanese, are the principal results of the first shock of their air and naval offen- sive.
 The claim of supremacy appeared in a commentary resume of news broadcasts.
 Domei, Japanese news service, said any force the United States now could muster must be regarded as utterly inadequate to accomplish any successful encounter with the thus far intact Japanese tleet.'

SETTLEMENT OF
 NEW LAND IS
 PICTURE THEME
Richard Dix, Florence Rice Are Stars of Cherokee
 Strip" 2Oth Century

Cherokee Strip" which opened last night at the 20th Century Theatre, is q thrilling romance of the west in the days when out laws ruled the plains. It brings Richard Dix back to the screen in a role he can get his teeth in and seemed to enjoy to the utmost. It is a d-blooded picture that wo- men as well as men will like, one that youngsters will go crazy about.
 The picture is laid against an historical background of the set- tling of the Indian Territories of what is now the state of Oklaho- ma. The period is 1893 when the government was about to open the Cherokee Strip for settlement un- der the Homestead Laws. This at tracted some of the best, and a lot of the worst, elements in the country and lawlessness had to be curbed.
 Florence Rice, the blonde and pleasing daughter of Grantland Rice, the well-known sportSwriter and columnist, lends the romantic atmosphere. William Henry, as her brother. plays juvenile role con- vincingly. Victor Jory and Morris Ankrum play two of the feuding Barretts. Andy Clyde gives a come dy touch as a deputy marshal and George E. Stone is also in com- edy role as the towns general storekeeper.
 The picture was produced by Harry Sherman from a story by Bernard McConville. It was direct ed by Lesley Selander.
