DEFECTIVE YARN OPENS TONIGHT,
 10TH CENTURY
Michael Shdyne, Private Detective, Screen ver-
 sion of Exciting Book

When Brett Halliday, famed de- tective story writer, invented Mich ael Shayne he thought of him as "red-headed, tough skinned, thirsty and Irish as any dick who ever stood under bowler hat in ho- tel lobby. He has whats in it for me?" complex, and a notable capacity for absorbing punishment and anything in glass
 And so he comes to the screen in the rough-and-r romantic person of Lloyd Nolan in 2oth Century Fox's Michael Shayne, Private De- tective" which opens tonight at the 20th Century Theatre.
 Nolan, long known for his ready wit and his complete adaptability, fits into the role of the detective perfectly. It was a particularly ap- pealing assignment for him when he discovered charming Marjorie Weaver was to play the girl in the case.
 The film has been heralded as one of the most exciting in months, what with it's mixed-up situations that put the detective on the spot. Shayne is found with a girl at the scene of the crime; he's the L and his gun is the murder weap- on
 But he turns the tables in the unique climax that caps never Tagging story. Cleverly blended in Michael Shayne, Private Detec- tive' are adventure, action, TO- nance, plenty of humor and set of unforgettable characters.

The Convention is an interesting document. It requires that pris- oners' food and living quarters be as good as flor troops at base camps of the detaining power" and that they be generally "humanely treated and protected"
 As for labor, 1t provides that prisoners not be required to work longer hours than civilians doing the same work. that they be paid wages fixed by agreements be- tween the belligerents' and that they not be compelled to do un- healthful or dangerous work.

 AT CAPITOL
 IN FUN FR0LIC
'BIondie in Society" Is Most Hilarious of Popu-
 lar Family Series

Penny Singleton, Arthur Lake and Larry Simms . . the Bumstead family of cartoon strip, radio and motion picture fare return to the screen of the Capitol Theatre this evening in their latest happy adventure, Columbia's "Blondie in Society,". Others in the cast in- clude Danny Mummert, Jonathan Hale, Edgar Kennedy, William Frawley and Chick Chandler.
 Frank R. Strayer, who made the sensationally successful Blondie pre- decessors, is responsible for the laugh-filled record of Blondie's ad- ventures with the Four Hundred, a series of hilarious incidents which begins with Dagwood almost ar rested for writing out $50 check without Blondie's knowledge. From that moment, through his hilarious acquisition of an cver-sized and ex- ceedingly hungry Great Dane, which terrifies the neighborhood and al- most wrecks the Bumstead's happy marriage, the film is said to move with swift abandon to the hectic free for -all which wrecks a swark dog show and effectively keeps Blondie out of society. On the oth- CT hand, Dagwood gets an offei for the dog from Pincus, mil lionaire, and when Blondie, Dag wood, Pincus, Dithers and Peters all claim ownership, it takes show manship to straighten it out.

 The Governors testimony was made public when the bill was in- troduced in the House
 In his testifying, the Governor said many persons were sending their families out of the Territory because they cannot support them there any longer. He said the sur- charge ran counter to the Govern ment's policy in attempting to stabilize prices and added that a large part of the freight rates paid by the Government itself is being reflected in requests for appropri- ations.
 Gov. Gruening said the Matan- uska Colony, as general rule, has been successful and a ready mar ket has been found for products at Army bases.
 The Governor said he favored onstructing the International High way along the westerly route through Prince George.
 Alaska Delegate Anthony J. Di- mond appeared at the hearing and urged appropriation of funds for continuing construction of the Palmer Richardson Highway and also asked that something be done for relief of Seward.

In order to iron out errors in the alert held in Juneau last week, and any that may crop up tomorrow night, general mass meeting of all first aid chiefs and their as sistants and all interested in First Aid will be held Tuesday, March 31. The group will meet at the Elks' Hall at 7:30 p. m.
 Meanwhile, plans were going ahead today for the second such alert to be held tomorrow night between the hours of $ and 7:30 o'clock This time Juneauites do not know the exact moment when the alert warning will be sounded Im- mediately upon the sounding of the alert the 20 First Aid chiefs, tn cir assistants and ambulance drivers will report to their stations.
 Mistakes Aired
 At the meeting of First Aid chiefs with Holgar Larsen, Assistant First Aid Chairman, Monday evening, numerous mistakes in the first practice were discussed. The good old American custom of free speech was exercised as those present aired their views. It was unanimously agreed that the 20 hours required instruction are not sufficient to qualify the layman to care for ac- cident victims, and hence a series of practices will be needed.
 And another thing declared Pedagog Larson, Put your supplies back into your kits. I don't want to find a trail of splints and band ages all over Juneau the morning after the alert
 Persons who sign up for First Aid duty should feel their respon- sibility and be present at all drills or meetings, or be represented by an assistant, stated MT. Larsen.
