One OF the greatest mysteries in
this enismstic land OF make believe
Is why motion picture actresses are
never satisfied.
Give EN- half dozen pictures in
which they play the part OF rich
aristocratic society girl in a regal
mansion. and they start yelling for
roles in which they can go on ram
page and tear the Joint to piece.
Similarly. feed EN- a few mug
ring. slspstick or other comedy roles.
and they want to so glamorous.
It's the same old story. perhaps
wealthy Miss Park Avenue likes TO
go on a cinematic stunning tour,
while little Gertie Ghetto is always
olamoring to move out OF the lower
East Side and wear fine furs and
feathers.
Look over their shapely curves and
pretty faces and you'll find it's
almost as automatic as the age e-old
tradition that all clowns sometime
want 10 play Hamlet.
The Blond Blitz.
Latest to agitste for q chance
from slapstick TO sophistication is
a 2l-year-old comedy singer and
dancer from Battle Greek, Mich.
She's a whirlwind bundle of energy
named Betty Hutton. who. in only
one picture. became one OF the most
volatile blasts of cinematic dyna-
mite 10 hit the screen in months
In fact, she has so much pep and
ambition, studio executives 1okingly
refer TO her as 1000 horsepower
blond blitz--their No. headache,
who's as fractions as young racing
thoroughbred being broken in at
new starting gate.
II was right at the beginning OF
her first picture, The Fleets In,"
that she became such problem

Finally. they decided that for her

they'd draw boundary lines on the

But all this boundiess enthusiasm
isn't just something Betty has ac-

When Betty was just IA, she was

when she was quite young, and, to
help support her family, her mother

BRITISH SAY
NAz| FLEET
RE5ERvE5H HIT
Prinz Eugen, Gneisendu.
Scharnhorst Declared
Out OF Action

LONDON, May 4. - The elusive
German battleships Gneisenau and
Scharnhorst, and the heavy cruiser
Prinz Eugen are definitely out of
action and must undergo extensive
repairs, the British announced Of
ficially today.
A heavy blow thus has been dealt
to the hopes of the German, italian
and Japanese alliance for gigantic
simultaneous world wide attack
against the fleets of the United Ma
lions.
The Admiralty and Air Force in
Britain said that the three great
reserve ships of the German Navy
had previously been hurt by torpedo
and bombing attacks in fight in
the English Channel in February
and by British mines, planes and
submarines.
The 26,000-ton Gneisenau and
Scharnhorst rocketed into the news
in February when they dashed out
of the dens of the French ports in
which they had been trapped and
steadily plastered by Raj fighters,
to make a fighting race for German
ports. At the same time, the 10000
ton cruiser Prinz Eugen had dashed
from Trondheim along with Tie Tir-
pitt, and then the German fleet was
home and ready for action.
Fears of a possible balance of sea
power swinging to the Axis side
pave been nagging at the Allies
since these escapes and the growing
probability of the gain of the French
Fleet by the Axis. However, the
breaking of the three big Nazi YES
sells will greatly lessen the possibil-
tiles of a naval attack soon.

convention he aided in preparing
the famous plank pledging the
party to Prohibition repeal, and
was one of the original group to
launch that plank.
Unanimous Support
When in February, 1888, Mr.. Troy
was mentioned as candidate for
the governorship of Alaska, unani-
nous endorsements were received
from every division in the Territory
and throughout Alaska and in the
States, almost unanimous personal
endorsements poured in to Wash
ington, D. c.
Delegate Anthony J. Dimond then
endorsed Mr.. Troy in Washington
D. C. and the appointment was
approved and the nomination made
by President Roosevelt.
Virtually all the newspapers Of
Alaska supported Mr.. Troys candi-
dacy for Governor beginning in
November, 1882.
Mr.. Troy, on learning of the sup
port behind him for candidacy
made the statement: Il am not
insensible to the honor and dis
tinction such an appointment would
confer upon the recipient. I have
not been a candidate for it and
am not now in the sense that
am seeking it.
1T would be untrue were 1 to say
that 1 did not know that my name
has been suggested more or less
frequently in that connection. l
have felt and still feel that there
are other Democrats in Alaska who
would fill the position more cap
ably than I and who are just as
deserving of the honor. However
If it is the sentiment of the or
ganization and as Delegate Dimond
has said, the rank and file of Al
askans, both Democrats and those
of other parties, that 1 can serve
the Territory as Governor and the
appointment shall be rendered me
I shall not refuse it,"
Faithful To Trust
During his six years in office he
was faithful to the trust that had
been placed in him as Territorial
executive and assumed the addi-
tional duties of the various New
Deal agencies that came into being
from 1888 on.
In spite of the increasing load
placed on his office, his door was
always open to everyone, friend or
enemy, in whatever walk of life.
He found time always to give TO
problems or complaints of any
callers, whether official or person :
al, his understanding attention.
In the execution of the duties CT
his office, he sought and welcomed
advice of his fellow Territorial Of
ficials, the legislators who served
during his administration and citi-
zens throughout the Territory.
Failing health and the gradual
recurrence CT an illness which had
him bedridden for many months
when he was in his early thirties,
lessened his strength and the at
tention he was able to give to his
office. He resigned as Governor
in 1899 and continued to live in
Juneau at the home of his daugh-
ter, Helen.
He entered st. AIMS hospital a
year ago and his condition grad
ually weakened. A week ago a def
mite change for the worse was
observed. Death came at lis Sat
urday afternoon.
With him during the last days
of his illness have been Lieut.
George A. Lingo, who is here from
the Naval Air Station at Sitka, Mrs.
Lingo and Mrs. ALT NJ Monsen, his
daughters. Mr. Monsen, a captain
with Pan American Always, ar
rived in Juneau today.
