ALASkA'5 DEFENSE
SAVINGS STAFF
GETS APPROVAL
Morgenthau Says Rumor
Of High Cost Are "0b-
viously Untrue"

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26-Secre-
tary of the Treasury Henry Nor
genthau has written Delegate from
Alaska Anthony j. Dimond that he
authorized the appointment of ar
assistant administrator to super
wise Defense Bonds sales in AL
aska because Gov. Gruening's
duties were already burdening the
staff at his disposal.
Gov. Gruening was named as
official Defense Savings Admins
traitor.
Secretary Morgenthau said that
Frederick Aver was selected for the
post of Gruening's assistant after
careful investigation and receives
salary of $4,000 year.
Morgenthau said that it is ex-
pected that a paid stenographei
will be furnished Aver
Delegate Dimond forwarded to
the Secretary of the Treasury pro-
tests by residents of Alaska against
the appointments and asked what
justification existed for the APP
pointment of an assistant admin
istrator, having in mind our COM
mon desire to promote rigid econ
omy."
The Secretary Of the Treasury
said, "Rumor of an Alaska Defense
Savings Staff payroll of between
ten and twenty thousand dollars a
year is obviously untrue. Such a
report could be given circulation
it would seem, only because its
sponsor failed to seek the truth
before starting the rumor."

AND EXOTIC SCENES
ON CAPITOL SCREEN

of the action taking place at a
fashionable Buenos Aires race

onial "estancia" on the pampas.
Lolita O'Shea, the daughter of
a naughty irish Argentine grandee,
meets Tim Kelly, a young Ameri-
can oil man, at the race meeting
Kelly's American employer orders
him to buy Lucero. noted race
horse owned by Lolita's father. and
knowing that the proud Don has
no intention of selling the animal,
Kelly persuades Santiago, the Don's
chief gaucho, to introduce him at
the estancia as cattle buyer.
The sentimental Santiago leads
Lolita to believe the handsome
young Yankee has followed her
for personal reasons. When she
learns the truth, things begin to
happen; further complicated by the
arrival of young Argentine sports
man, Alberto, who is in love with
the girl.
Kelly's purchasing scheme and
the romantic triangle develop when
the American suddenly discovers
that Lolita is more important to
him than Lucero.
Ten catchy songs written es-
pecially for the picture by Richard
Rodgers and Lorenz Hart, and sew
eral dance numbers of which the
most exciting is a gaucho dance,
the "Chaco,' provide the musical
and terpsichorean highlights of the
romance.
