 As typical American boy in Eng lands most exclusive school, Mickey has some of the most hilarious scenes of his film career. and some of the most dramatic.
 While Mickey is his usual brilliant self as The Yank," Freddie Bar tholomew, playing in his fifth pie ture with Rooney, also is outstand- ing Now a full head taller than Mickey, he is hard to recognize as the little boy who once starred in David Copperfield."

Coast Guard Band Concert
 Huge Success

A large crowd, braving wind and rain storm to attend the con- cert at the 20th Century Theatre yesterday afternoon. tumultously applauded the excellent two-hour performance of the Coast Guard Band of Ketchikan
 Preceding the program. It. J g) J. P. Towey, manager of the group, expressed thanks to the people of Juneau for the hospitality shown the bandsmen during their stay here. He explained that the band was first organized solely for the purpose of furnishing recreation for the unsteady inclined, and paid i tribute to Mrs. B. E. Abegglen, mus ical advisor, who has been of the greatest help to the band since it's inception less than year ago. It is the official Coast Guard band for the 18th Naval District, and is making tour of Southeast Alaska.
 Beginning with the national an- them, the band proceeded with the
 Coast Guard marching song, Sem per Paradis," Sousa's Liberty Bell March, the Aurora Overture, ? Colonel Bogey," and Rossini's Barber of Seville" Overture.
 The pleasant baritone voice of Charles c. Hiatt, Machinist's Mate 2nd Class, was heard in two num- bers, Kashmiri Song" from the h. dian Love Lyrics, and the popular Road to Mandalay" As an en- core he chose the lovely song Trees" by Joyce Kilmer, set to music by Rasbach.
 The second half of the program started with the stirring strains of Wagner's Under the Double Eagle" followed by American Pa troi' by F. A. Meacham, "Mantilla Overture by Paul Yoder, "The American Legion March by Garter, and the last number scheduled for the concert, von Suppe's Poet and Peasant Overture" Rowing to the demand of the audience for more, the band obliged with one of the great favorites, Sousas "Semper Fidelis.'
 Conducting the band was Ralph w. Girton, Gunners Mate, 2nd Class, assisted by the first clarinet list, J. w. Steel, SIX 3rd Glass. Com posed almost entirely of amateur talent, the members followed their director with precision, giving a smooth performance hardly to be expected of so young an organiza- tion. The exceptional acoustics of the theatre were evident at the concert.
 The city of Juneau has been proud and happy to play host to the men of the Coast Guard Band of Ketchikan, and hope they will drop anchor here again soon

BLOOD PLASMA

The latest miracle Of TRANSMISSION
-plasma-has been described as tho
No. agent in saving the lives Of
our American soldiers.
Plasma is the liquid element In
the blood in which the red and white
cells float. By adding salt Of So
dunn citrate to fresh blood, the
blood remains unclotted and is al
lowed to stand for two or three
days, during which the cells settle
and the plasma then is poured of.
Formerly, it was necessary to
type" blood since it was discov.
cred in 1900 that substances in GER
tain bloods destroyed red corpus
cles in other kinds. Plasma, how
ever, removes these substances and
makes use of the fluid general.
Dried or frozen, plasma can keep
for weeks or months. 1t can be
shipped to any part of the world
and used. Through the agency Of
the American Red Cross, blood do
nors throughout the country are
making plasma possible.

AIR AMBULANCE:
Fly $1,000 Wounded

Sick or wounded, $4,000 Allied SOL
diers have been flown from the At

N. w. Grant, air surgeon Of the army

General Grant said, as many as 900
patients were moved, three times
the number that an ordinary hos
pital train can carry on single
trip.
In further demonstration Of how
air transport had been utilized by
the medical corps to afford imme-
date facilities to casualties, Cen
eral Grant said Allied airmen once
flew a $50 bed hospital from one
sector of the African front to an
other.
Declaring that the medical corps
use Of the airplane will be expanded,
General Grant said that such trans
port not only increases efficiency in
treatment but also serves as
stimulus to the wounded.
"For a wounded man to know that
he is soon to be in a safe, friendly
area, clean and comfortable with
all the skill and equipment Of mod
ern medicine at his side, his will to
recoveryis much greater" General
Grant said.

GAS:
Tight Pinch

Completion of the big oil pipe line
in the Middlewest and declining
petroleum production in California
might we'll spell Tightening of gaso-
line supplies in those sections within
the near future, Secretary of the In
terror Harold Ickes declared. At the
same time, Ickes could see no relief
in the gasoline situation in the East.
In all cases, Ickes said, the serv-
ices huge consumption of petroleum
is digging deeply into the nations
supply. Ickes cited Lieut.. Gen.
SomervelIs estimate that military
demands now approximate 100000
barrels day, exclusive of gasoline
and lubricating products, while
American refining capacity stands
at 3,85O,000 barrels.
Completion of the big pipe line
in the Middlewest, Ickes said, will
free many tank. cars for haulage of
oil from the area east of the Mis-
sissippi. However, Ickes pointed
out, it is this area which is suffering
from a decline in production, and
further diversion of it's supplies nee
essarily will result in a further pinch
in civilian consumption there.

F. Byrnes' efforts to patch up the

Jesse Jones apparently had come

funds to continue operations. Then
he repeated his charges that Jones'

FOOD SUBSIDIES:
Banned by Congress

The administration plans for the
use of subsidies to ''roll back retail
food prices were strongly jolted by
congressional action in passing the
Commodity Credit corporation bill
outlawing such payment except as
incentives to producers. AS a re-
suit, the "rollbacks" recently in
stituted on meat and butter would
be wiped out, with payments only
being made on previous commit
ments.
In passing the bill, congress acted
in opposition to administration sup
port Of the subsidy program. Prior
to passage, the War Labor board
came out for "rollbacks" to offset
the increasing cost of living, which
threaten it's policy of limiting wage
boosts to Is per cent over January,
1871.
In passing the bill which extends
the life of the CCC for two more
years and adds $50 million dollars
to it's lending authority, congress
permitted payment Of $50 million
dollars for substituting increased
transportation costs and the produc-
ton of critical minerals and food.
