He said that although the title
speaks of repeating other statutes,
nowhere in the body of the bill is
any statute repealed
Furthermore, the chief executive
states, the tax is due on January
l., but payment may be deferred
until December /, when many a
presumed taxpayer who belongs to
the great category of seasonal
workers who have come to Alaska
from the States will have departed
from our friendly and hospitable
shores with tax unpaid"
The tax formerly was imposed
only on all males between the ages
81 and so, and the new law i'm
poses the tax on males and fe-
males between the ages Of 81 and
SIS. Women who are unemployed
and whose support is entirely de-
pendent upon the incomes OF their
husbands, and whose husbands have
paid the tax, would not be liable.
The Governor asked If woman
who is employed in the spring, and
not in the fall would be excepted,
and also wondered about women
whose husbands are over SIS or out
of the Territory.

''YANK IN Raj"
OPENS TONIGHT
AT20TH CENTURY
Tyrone Power and Betty
Cradle Starred Actual
Combat Scenes Filmed

i The first story of Britain's fight
ing Raj will zook across the screen
of the Goth Century tonight in the
new production, "A Yank in the
Raj"
With Tyrone Power as the Yank
and Betty Cradle as the Yank's
sweetheart, this story of England's
men of the skies follows them as
they live, love and laugh on land
and perform deeds of heroism in
the air as part of their everyday
job.
Production Chief Daryl F. Fan
uck received the full consent and
cooperation of the British govern
ment to show many of the excit-
ing events of the war-flights over
Germany, the evacuation at Dun
kirk, forced landings in enemy
country; and on the lighter side,
the pilots efforts at relaxation.
The story follows Tyrone, an
American flyer in Britain who joins
the Raj. to get some action. Bored
by the instructions he must take
and the routine of his duties, he
does not get along well with his
fellow pilots or his commanding
officer, played by John Sutton.
And his romance with Betty Cradle,
an American dancer in London,
receives a setback when Sutton
proposes marriage to her.
Although this is Betty's most
dramatic role to date, she is fea-
tured in two musical numbers es-
pecially created for her. The top
song writing team Of Leo Robin
and Ralph Ranger wrote two new
songs, "Hi-Ya Love" and Another
Little Dream Won't Do Us Any
Harm" for these musical scenes.
Actual combat pictures, filmed by
the Raj. in action, show the
thrilling dog fights in the air, dive
bombers dropping their deadly
loads and add to the thrills of the
film.
