erouS roll calls and over the objec- tions of the two Waterbury repre- sentatives. The roll calls, however, kept the House in session until 12:37 a.. m., and Democrats threatened to use the same tactics today on every controversial measure.
 Before the Waterbury fight, the House disposed of long calendar of pending measures. A bill provid- ing for the use of separate ballots in presidential and state elections was passed by vote of 160-71; ere ation of an inter-racial commission was authorized, ard d constitution al amendment was passed, raising the salaries of the General Assem- ply members from $500 to $500 year.
 The Senate, meantime. approved the general budget of $107086, ,059, and the War Council budget of $4,- 845 ,690 unanimously, but only after Democrats assailed them as pad ded," and the largest in the history of the state.
 Sen. Leon Riscassi, D., Hartford, a frequent critic of the administra- tion, declared the two budgets "cou- pied with the supplementary budget | still to come before us, which I es- innate will total about $4,000,000 represent the largest budget in the history of this state"
 Riscassi charged the budget items were vague" and the total "astron- omical"
 Sen. John L. Sullivan, D., New Britain, opposed a House. approved amendment permitting the governor to transfer highway funds with ap- proval of the neWly-created finance advisory committee. He charged the move "opered the way for more rural road bloc graft" but despite his objections, the amendment was approved.
 The budget skirmish consumed so much time that most controversial matters, slated for yesterday, were put over until today.
 The Senate adopted bill allowing a political party, one of whose can- didates boiled at least one per cent of the total vote for an office ln preceding election, to nominate state ticket. It also passed another bill defining law terms, and a meas ure requiring proof of financial re- sponsibility when driver has been convicted twice within year Of violating rules of the road.
 The calendars in both Senate and House were choked with bills today, and Gov. Baldwin was expected to serd in his nominations to the new state housing commission, winding up the gubernatorial appointments.
 The separate ballot bill approved yesterday in the House, was almost certain to provoke bitter opposition in the Senate from the Democratic minority and a resumption of the roll call tactics.
 Gov. Baldwin, anticipating the session would be over today, virtual " completed the draft of his part ing message to the General Assem- ply.
 Democrats could, however, through the roll call maneuver, prolong the session until the statutory deadline June g.

GIRLS HOPING
TO DEVELOP
MAJOR LEAGUE
BY DAVE HOFF

CHICAGO - Professional girls
softball, with a 100000 bankroll
and the brains of two top-notch
baseball organizations behind it,
hopes after spending this summer
in an experimental dollhouse to
blossom forth next year in the ma
tons big cities-right alongside its
big brother, major league baseball
When Philip K. Wrigley, the
Chicago Cubs owner, and Branch
Hickey, the Brooklyn Dodgers vice
president and general manager
formed the all-American girls soft
ball league, they weren't just do
ing it to throw away excess cash.
They visualize day when fans
will jam the big city ball parks to
watch young lady name" players
perform.
Operational Setup
This year the all-American girls
softball league will operate on a
minimum scale, in four smaller
cities in the Chicago area. But the
operational setup is the same that
will be used if their dream of a
couple of major softball leagues and
a flock of minors some day comes
true.
Everything possible is being done
to keep the girls league from re-
sembling the mems game. The girls
will wear three-quarter length
skirts-no Stacks, no shorts Boyish
haircuts are out. And the salaries
being offered are good enough to
assure the finest and fairest of tai
ent.
For instance the lowest salary
called for in a current contract is
S45 a week, more than the average
stenographer or factory girl gets
and far above the pay of the aver
age Glass D minor league.
The best salary is $85 a week,
comparing favorably with the pay
received by players in the top minor
leagues.
And in usual baseball style the
girls get all their expenses paid
while they're on the road.
League Signs Girls
Instead of being under contract
to their respective clubs, the girls
will be signed by the league which
The Daily Alaska empire. [volume] (Juneau, Alaska) 1926-1964, 1943-06-05

will distribute the talent at the
start OF the season as equally as
possible among the four teams. The
first games were listed for May 80
with upwards of 100 contests card
ed for each club. Thus this is a full
time job for each of the players.
There are a few changes made
in the standard softball playing
rules. The pitcher is 40 feet instead
of IS from home plate. There are
only nine players on each team,
with the traditional short fielder
eliminated. Base runners may take
a leadoff. The pitcher may use a
glove to facilitate deception in
delivery
The four member cities-Kenosha
and Racine in Wisconsin, South
Bend, Ind. and Rockford, ILL.,
have been chosen because of the
large number of industrial plants
near by.
If the attendance is good and the
league shows workability, if name"
stars develop among the original
players, another year or two may
find the girls invading the major
league ball fields, playing at home
when the local baseball team is on
the road travelling when the major
leaguers are home.

new MYSTERY
ADVENTURE AT
10Th CENTURY
Mich aeI Shayne Comes
Here in The Man Who
Wouldn't Die"

A new mystery adventure with
that ace of private detectives,
Michael Shayne, is due at the goth
Century Theatre Sunday, when
The Man Who Wouldn't Die"
opens.
This new Goth Century-FoX pro-
duction stars Lloyd Nolan as the
se-cracking Shayne, in what has
been called the best of his films
The story centers around a dead
man who walks and talks" mysti-
flying everybody except Mike
Shayne-he's just scared stiff. But
his ready Irish wit and his acute
mind produce a solution-but good.
Mike Lloyd Nolan Shayne is
different from other movie detec-
tives in many respects. He gets con-
fused readily, and is often led away
from the task at hand by a pair
of flashing ankles. Seeking the
wrong guy is a habit and generally
making a mess of things, usually
with hilarious results, is the rule.
But like all good detectives, he al
ways gets his mainland provides
topnotch entertainment.
Marjorie Weaver, who is fast be-
coming a favorite, is said to add
fine comedy and romantic touch
to the film in her role of a dizzy
young heiress, and supporting play
ers. Helene Reynolds and Henry
Wilcoxon,. according to advance re-
ports are excellent.

field, opens tomorrow at the Capitol
Theatre.
Accurately recreated TO the last
detail, the set includes a street two
blocks long, with the paisano shacks
under the pines 1t covered an area
of three acres. The set was built
over period of six weeks, after
set designers and camera crews had
gathered data and materials at
Monterey.
One Of the most unusual stories
ever brought to the screen, Tor
tilla Flat deals with the happy-go-
lucky life of the California paisanos
who live a carefree existence on
Tortilla Flat. Tracy as Pilon, is the
leader of band of paisanos. The
youngest and best looking is Danny,
played by Garfield. Pilon's greatest
admirer is Pablo, portrayed by
AKIN Tamiroff.
They are content until Dolores

In dickering for established
operas, studios have had to an
swer questions. How many people
would be on the stage? Who would
conduct? How many times would
the camera cut away from the
opera? Would you alter the stage
directions in any way?"
In filming "Tschaikowsky
opera" the camera can take those
liberties essential to keep the movie
story going, remembering always
that it is movie theater and not
an opera house it is trying to fill.
And nobody" says Eddie Ward,
can criticise the way we stage our
Chopin opera because we're the
first to do it-there is no crusty

Film Opera
In Trouble
By ROBIN COoNs

HOLLYWOOD - Edward Ward,
the movie music man, needed a
few operas for picture. He had
studio money, but he couldn't buy
them. And out of his difficulty is
coming something new in screen
music.
1t is the war that has compH-
Gated the screen-operatic situation.
Before the war, Hollywood for a
price could gain permission to in
corporate scenes from famous grand
operas into its films. 1t usually took
a deal of negotiations, much legal
research into titles and copyrights,
and Hollywood's consent to treat
the opera with full reverence but
it could be done.
Copyrights on the more popular
operas are held today mostly in
France and Italy. Even when the
music itself is in public domain,
there can be various copyrights,
stemming from the original which
are jealousy neutrality-suspicious.
on the libretto, on the manner of
staging, the production in general.
In peacetimes, these can all be
traced, the holders located, and a
Zeal made. In war, it's another
matter.
Fascists armies have not been
squeamish about plundering in oc-
cupied countries, but there is no
temptation here to plumber music
in revenge. Come peace, and in
fringement suits would pile up just
as if there had been no war.
