EAST END PLANS
 PARTY THURSDAY
Guardsmen , Draft Board Inductees to Be Guests
 of Honor

Last evening an enthusiastic gath erlng of Selective Service committee men and women met at Chase grammar school and decided to change the name of their organiz- ation to the Servicemen's commit tee.
 The change of name was adopted because many people of the city were inclined to believe that this committee functioned only in the interest of young men inducted by the local selective service boards in the City Hall. However, the com- mittee was formed with the idea in mind to work in the interests of all local young men joining Uncle Sam's Army whether they be selec- tive service inductees, national guardsmen, naval enlistees or marine recruits.
 The geenral committee enjoyed brief meeting with the East End committee which is sponsoring party next Thursday for local boys who will leave soon for military service. Invitations for this party have been sent by Chairman Cor den to both guardsmen and induc- tees

BLONDE PLAYS CUPID" IS NEW
 HIT AT CAPITOL
Penny Singleton, Arthur Lake Back as Famous
 Comic Strip Family

There's new Bumstead merriment headed this way!
 Hailed by preview critics as being just as hilariously funny and warm ly human as in their past six hits, the Bumsteads will be here tonight at the Capitol Theatre in Colum- bias "Blondie Plays Cupid The same lovable characters, Blondie, Dagwood, Baby Dumpling and Daisy are seen in this latest film based on Chic Youngs comic strip.

This time the dilemma arises when Blondie decides that the family should visit her Aunt Hannah in the country, where they will be certain to enjoy safe and sane Fourth of July.
 Their delirious adventures pile up in rip-roaring fashion and. Of course, they happily blum d CT through to overwhelming success. Needless to say, when the Fourth is finally over, the Bumsteads sad- ly discover that they have cele- brated in anything but a safe and sane way.
 The cast of this gay comedy again features Penny Singleton as Blondie, Arthur Lake as Dagwood, and Larry Simms as Baby Damp ling, while Daisy once more con- tributes his share of acting in true mongrel fashion

Arehimandrife Tells of Jdp- dnese Boming Attacks
 While in Juneau

Three Russian Orthodox priests, including the Archimandrite Dioni- sey Diachenko, who recently was forced by the Japanese to leave his post in Shanghai, were Juneau visitors last night while the mo- torship Penguin of the United States Fish and Wildlife Service was in port.
 Accompanying the archimandrite, whose ecclesiastical ranking is next to that of bishop, were the Rev. Gregory Gleboff, going to Kodiak, and the Rev. Makarya Baranoff, returning to St. Paul Island after an eight-month visit in San Diego.
 The archimandrite, with his full beard, and his long hair twisted in knot at the nape of his neck, struck quaint, old world note as he told in mixture of Russian, German and English how Japanese bombers attacked Shanghai in the famous raids of 1888.
 Japan airplane come oyer," he recalled, gesturing with his hands. Guns go 'boomp Pretty soon no Jap any more."
 Although international strife often has forced changes in Archiman- drite Dionisey's life. he philosophi- cally shrugs his shoulders at each new change:
 Where am, it does not matter. But my people need help; I can help some"
