 The action is still in "prelimin- ary stage" said Knox, the various activities would ordinarily precede an engagement of some size"

 While the Navy Secretary did not elaborate, he apparently meant nc aircraft carriers, battleships and possibly no heavy cruisers have been sunk so far as is known here.

''5p0ILERS" E FINE REFILM OF
 EARLY CLASSIC
Capitol Theatre Now Show. ina Vivid Rex Beach
 Classic of North

There's never a law of man or God holds North of 53"
 That. to purloin line from Kip ling, is Universal's The Spoilers, 3 which had it's local premiere yes- terday at the Capitol Theatre
 Vivid. breathless screen matter is made by Producer Frank Lloyd from the Rex Beach best seller mo- vel which dramatizes the mad rush to the Klondike and the primitive lust for gold--and woman's kiss in the rip-roaring era of '98.
 Cherry Malotte, the shrewd, se- ductive, beautiful operator of Nome's most glittering gin-palace, is the role Marlene Dietrich was born tc play. The portrait is ably backed by the virility of her co-stars Ran dolph Scott and John Wayne.
 It was real challenge to Pro- ducer Lloyd to re-film the cinemat ically classic fist-fight of the first Spoilers" made 30 years ago. Lloyd however, has topped the test-the cott-Wayne brawl had yesterdays audience spellbound.

WAGE RECORDS ARE NOT AVAILABLE AT SOCIAL SECURITY

Persons seeking to learn the am- ount of wages earned during 1942 for the purpose of filing income tax returns are urged not to request such information from the Social Security Board.
 Tt is impossible for the Board to give a wage earner a statement showing the total wages he has earned during the calendar year 1922 MT. Hugh J. Wade, Director of the Juneau Territorial Office ex- plained today. This is due to the delay in filing of the Social Security tax returns of employers and the length of time required to process and post the earnings of millions of workers. Consequently our records do not show wages earned after June 30, 1942.
 MT. Wade pointed out that most employers upon request will furnish their workers with a statement showing total wages paid for the entire year.
 However. if any worker desires to ascertain whether his wages nave been correctly reported and credit

 In addition to Moore, Mrs Mon- roe, and the Oneys, other tenants left homeless by the fire included l:
 Mrs. H. Howell, MT. and Mrs. c. A. Trager and two children, Wal ter Russell, A. Tolonen, Mrs. Kath- crime Mikaloff, John Medica, Mrs. Neil Stevens, J. R. Eullivan, MT. and Mrs. Kenneth Meier, MT. and Mrs. M. Isaac and two children, Esther Ellsworth, Douglas Shaw, Martin Sorte, l. Welch, Melvin Skinner, Ronald F. Mccoy, Lieut.. Mabel Moore, U. s. Army nurse Residents living near the scene of the fire packed their personal effects and were ready to make nasty exits if the flames, famed by the exceedingly high wind, got beyond control and spread. On Federal Hill, residents were pre- pared for emergency in case the fire spread on down on Willoughby Avenue, also the Seaview Apart ments, people either left their homes, or were ready to go. At the Federal jail six of the prisoners laid out hose lines and manned them. All cells were unlocked by orders of Marshal William A. Ma honey and prisoners were made ready for evacuation if the build- ing caught fire.
 Flying embers, hurled around by the wind, caused much trouble but they generally burned out when falling on snow-covered roofs or were stamped out if falling else where.
 The fire was one of the most spectacular blazes since the Gold stein building was destroyed, Feb- ruary 8, 1889, just four years ago today.
 Coast Guard Appreciation
 This afternoon officials of the Coast Guard desired to express ap- preciation to Mrs. Josephine White for opening her suite in the Eel don Apartments for first aid work during the fire Saturday night. One Coast Guardsman, J. Basso, was rendered unconscious by smoke and was brought safely through by first aiders in the White apartment. Sev- eral others were treated for frost bites.

Celebrities
 WiIIAppear
 Upon Screen
That Is, Actors or Actresses Will Be Made Up
 for Movies
By ROBBN COONs

LYWOOD-SOOner or later you meet all kinds of celebrities Tn Hollywood. You even get to know what writers look like.
 Naturally. they don't look like writers. Not in the least.
 I had chat today with William Makepeace Thackeray and with Charlotte Bronte MT. Thackeray looked, for all his bushy white hair and his dandied attire, like Sydney Greenstreet. Miss Brontes resem- blance to Miss Olivia De Haviland was startling. MT. Charles Dickens was around somewhere-probabl finishing up chapter to catch the next boat to America = but l couldn't find him. He looked, I was told, like Reginald Sheffield.
 MT. Dickens and Mir. Thackeray were scarcely speaking. They had a feud on. MT Thackeray told Miss Bronte, in fact, that he would never think of presenting that fellow Dickens to her Miss Bronte, an old English picture in poke bonnet and billowing red velvet gown, protested that she found Mir Dickens work most interesting
 I do not know what Miss Bronte really looked like, but think that had she looked like Miss De Hayil- land she would certainly have had more suitors. Miss De Havilland, you know. has fetching wink Gas in Strawberry BlondeO and also, if coaxed, can bark like dog two parlor tricks in which Miss Bronte certainly nefser indulged.
 These assorted literary characters are in the movie Devotion along with Ida Lupinos Emily Bronte None of them look any more like writers than did Emile Zola, whom I met several years back on an- other Warner stage. MT. Zola, you will recall. looked like Paul Muni When MT. Zola grew a beard, he looked even more like MT. Muni.
 With MT. Mark Twain. who was around recently, it was different. Mark Twain looked like Mark Twain, and very little like Frederic March. That, as you may guess, was because Robert Browning, in The Barretts of Wimpole Street" had already spoken for March's face, and even Hollywood can't have Mark Twain and Browning going around with the same face
 Another writer I met here was Edgar Allen Poe. Even with make up, and breeding. he looked like John Shepperd. When I saw him Shepperd was breeding, not about Poe or love, but about the kind of picture Poe's life was going to make. He was right. Poe's shade is pro- bably still breeding about 1t
 When we get down to cases, suppose Bette Davis and Miriam Hopkins are the only pair of writ CTS in the current cinema -1it'ry crop who really look like writers. That's because in "Old Acquaint- ance" they're modern scriveners- and modern writers can look like anything.
 These writers in pictures seem well fed, not at all as if they've been starving in garrets. Some day they ought to make movie about all the successful writers in the world, and let John Carradine of the lean and hungry look play it. There's a man who really looks like writer.
