HUMDINGER OF
 HILARITY All 10TH CENTURY
Joel MCCrea and Veronica Lake in Sturges
 Comedy

Co-starring glamorous Veronica Lake and broad-shouldered Joel McCrea, "Sunivans Travels" the new Paramount comedy written and directed by Preston Sturges, is now playing at the 20th Century Theatre.
 The story of "Sullivan's Travels sounds like natural for comedy. Sturges creates a character named John L. Sullivan. screw-ball Hollywood director who has made Ia success directing comedies, but who wants to make pictures of so- cial significance heavy with mes sages. "The idea is that Sullivan, played by Joel McCrea, goes out in- to the world dressed as a hobo, ready to learn about the tougher aspects of life. "Sullivan's Travels is the fourth comedy written and directed by Sturges. who leaped to a deserved top spot with his very first directorial effort, The Great McGinty." After "McGinty" came two more smash hit comedies, Christmas in July and "The Lady Eve

Suggestions For Dimoui Are Advanced

The Empire has received many brief letters asking what about the dimout that begins next Mon day" They ask various questions, the majority being; Do windows on houses or apartments not fac ing the channel, have to be dimmed out?" and do business places where men are working at night, with windows not facing the channel, have to be curtainedP"
 All letters suggest that the Civl- Ian Defense Council could send their men with instructions to go around the town either Friday or Saturday night and give informa- tion and not wait until next Mon- day night, as there seems to be an absolute desire on the part of all to readily dimout when mooted questions can be explained.

JOE FLAkNE IN
 TALK ON LABOR
 PROBLEMS HERE
New War Manpower Aet- ing Director for A.
 aska at (. of (.

Joe Flakne, Acting Director of the new War Manpower area for Alaska, told members of the Cham Der of Commerce this noon that the new office hopes to be able to do away with such disrupting practices as pirating of labor and the rapid turnover of workers in Alaska so that the war effort will be furthered and business men will have something on which to plan.
 He urged employers in non-es- sential industries to steer away from the Selective Service group in hiring workers, to rely more and more on women and others not essential to the Army and war in- dustries.
 Flakne will return to Seattle soon, where he will represent the Territory in manpower problems. He said that he feels we are doing a lot of good through this branch of the service"
 Flakne spoke highly of the rep resentatives of industry, labor and the government who attended the recent meeting in Juneau. He said that contractors have agreed to hire workers on a yearly contract basis, doing much to cut down the large turnover
 Flakne also brought to the at tention of the Chamber the prac- tice of some Alaskans, crew mem- bers of boats and others, of ship ping articles that are rationed in the States out of Alaska to friends in the States. He said that the continuation of such a practice might well mean rationing for AL aska.
 The new acting War Manpowel official also urged the Chamber to support a campaign to change the name of the new highway to AL aska from the Alcan to the Alaska Highway, stating that Canadians are in favor of the change.
