"6in Marriage Bill Walks Again In Legislature

Revival of Rep. Harvey Smiths "gin marriage" bill from the death it met in a four-to-four tie vote in the Senate some weeks ago was effected today when Senator o. D. Cochran won support for a move to ask the House to return the bill so that the Senate could "rescind" its former action.
 Voting against asking the House to return the bill were Senators Edward Coffey and c. H. LaBoy- teaux.
 The House agreed by unanimous consent to send the bill back over to the Senate. The bill would re- quire couples to give three days notice of intention to wed.
 An attempt to resurrect the bill which would legalize the Department of Health failed in the Senate today when LaBoyteaux sought to move reconsideration of his vote which was one of four against admitting the bill to the upper house. Senate President Henry Roden ruled that unanimous consent would have to be granted to allow reconsideration at this late date, and Cochran objected, so the matter was dropped.

else, aren't going to help pass this or any other bill"
 Senator Don Carlos Brownell of Seward remarked that If this Sen ate continuously refuses to consider Jills which have had careful con- sideration in the House and have actually passed the House, it might n time result in change in the structure of our government
 This brought from Cochran the observation that the matter of a Inicameral legislature had twice been submitted to the people and twice defeated and that it would be defeated again Walker said tha5 Brownell had not mentioned the word 'unicameral" and that he, Walker was one of those who fought hardest against a unicameral sys- tenn.
 The Junior Senator from Nome has been wrong in about half the statements he has made Walker said Of Cochran. He declared that if the Senator would keep an open mind and open ears" he would prob ably think differently on many mat Lers.

 Cochran, in his best form, refer ring to Brownell's statement that 1hange might come. said
 I'm going to stand in this Senate as long as this Senate exists and yield only to the dictates of my, own conscience and not to any threats of any Senator, or any person or any body of persons.
 T am chosen by the electors of my Division and sent down here to use my best judgment in the interest of the Territory. We have a Dele gate in Congress, similarly chosen by the electors, to represent the peo- ple of this Territory in Congress and to use his own best judgment and his own convictions.

 We have in Congress today man who is outstanding. He is a man held in the highest esteem in the Territory, a man we all look. up to, respect and highly regard. But we were sent here to Juneau to exercise our own judgement and Tony Di- mend would not want to deny us that right.
 We've elected Tony Dimcnd be- cause we believe in Tony Dimond and in Tony's good Judgment. It would come with ill grace. on our part to issue a ukase telling him what he's got to do in Congress.

 The Nome Senator asked that a committee be appointed with the power to subpoena witnesses and employ counsel to investigate the matter
 Dent Meet Minimum
 Consideration of the armory bill began with Major w R. Mulvihill Adjutant-G General of the Alaska Ma tional Guard, being called to the stand. He said that in Ketchikal the fair building being used for an armory is not large enough and that storage place for arms and equip ment is three miles from the drill floor; that in Juneau the fair build ing has no heat and no safe place to store equipment, and that in Nome where the Moose Hall is being used for National Guard drill, the pre- sent quarters are not large enough
 None of the buildings being used by the Guard units at present meet the minimum requirements of the War Department, Mulvihill said
 DimOnd Radiegram Read
 Walker began his argument for ac- ceptance of the bill by reading a radiogram from Delegate Anthony J. Dimcnd relative to armories. The radiogram from Dimond to Davis, dated March IS, asked that Davis show the wire to all other members and to the Governor.
 Tt was within Representative Davis right to show or not to show the wire" Walker said, but the Del esate asked specifically that it be shown"
 Then Walker read what he des- cribed as radiogram written by an unregistered lobbyist" and put in the hands of labor union men here with instructions that it be sent to Dimond. The radiogram de- clared organized labor to be opposed to the a1mory bill. Walker said the radiogram was not sent but turned over to him instead. Later he said the union men to whom it was hand ed were MT Chinella and Mir. Hill , No group of organized labor is op- posed to the armory bill, Walker declared.
 Messages Quoted Then he quoted from Davis mes sage to Dimond that the bill was strongly opposed by labor groups and by chambers of commerce" and declared that it must have been with the belief that the unsent telegram was sent that Davis would mai,e such statement
 It was here that Walker, declaring his remarks did not refer to any Le- gislator, said that opponents of the hill had reached new depths of de- pravity chicanery, knavery and trickery'
 Walker said he would consent tc cutting the amount of the bill in half if it were received, but that it would place the Territory in a very i difficult position in these critica times not to receive a bill as im- pcrtant as this bill "
 Senate President Henry Rodel, said he had received from the Dele gate a radiogram indentical with that tc Speaker II. II. McCutcheon Of the House, which Walker read.

host of other matters pertaining to
extra players.
When actual shooting gets under
way it is the job of the assistant
director each night to notify every
actor and extra the time to report
for work the next day and what
wardrobe is required.
He must see that the set and the
technical crew are ready each day.
He orders the extras, sees that they
arrive on time. are properly out
fitted and made up.
If 10 horses with white legs are
required on the set at 8 o'clock on
Wednesday morning the assistant
director is blamed if they are not
there.
Of course, there is a general pro-
duction manager who supervises the
entire operations. But no single
man could possibly carry out single
handed the work of a production.
So Production Manager Walter
Mayo looks to TUNNEL and Nc
Garry to carry out the vast number
of details. If they don't know the
regulations governing electricians,
and because of that suddenly find
the company faced with huge over
time charges or shortage Of help
well, that's their fault.
They Must Know.
If an actor is out for the evening
when they call to notify him to be
on the set at 8 the next morning,
they just have to keep on the job
until the actor gets home so they
can tell him. If they are told to
hire dog that won't bark, and the
dog does nothing but bark when
the cameras start-well, the assist
ant director gets the blame. The
director cannot be expected to di-
rect his complicated story with a
cast of oftimes temperamental play
ers and also find barkless dog.
If Carole Lombard or Jack Benny,
who are starred in ITO Be or Not
to Be-" turn to TUNNEL or McGarry
and ask what they are supposed to
wear in a certain scene, TUNNEL
or McGarry have to know. That's
