RANDOM HARVEST IS NEXT FEATURE AT CAPITOL THEATRE

Random Harvest profound and beautiful love story by James Hil- ton, has been screened by MGM and will be shown locally at the Capitol Theatre beginning tomor- row.
 The picture has Ronald Colman and Greer Carson teamed for the first time in pair of characterize tions sure to win added laurels to those already bestowed on these two for their fine performances in past hits. Not since Lost Horizon" has Ronald Colman had a role as fine as this one; indeed, many are likely to proclaim it his best.
 Greer Carson, on the other hand, scored so strongly in Mrs. Miniver" that to excel that portrayal would be no easy task; but it equals it and strengthens the already strong foundation of a remarkable screen talent.
 The story concerns Colman, a Sheu-Snocked victim Of World War l, who escapes from an asylum in England. He is suffering from amnesia Greer Carson meets him, learns his plight, and takes care of him. While seeking a job in Liver pool, Colman is hit by an auto, his memory returns up to the point where he met Miss Carson. There upon he returns to his old way of life and becomes a high political figure: A series of exciting events finally clear up the situation.
 Supporting players include Philip Dorn, Susan Peters, Henry Travers, and Reginald Owen. Random Harvest" was directed by Mervyn LeRoy.

"LARCENY, ING" I5 HUMOROUS DRAMA
 AT 2OTK CENTURY

The most delightful type of com edy is one which blends drama with humor and that is just what War ner Bros. Larceny, Inc does. It tells the story of gangster who finds himself kept so busy in an honest enterprise that he hasn't the time to rob a bank. The star of the film, which makes it's local de- but Sunday at the 20th Century, is Edward G. Robinson, whom no one can surpass in gangster roles. In the feminine lead, as Robinson's adopted daughter, is vivacious Jane Wyman, who tries her best to see that her father goes straight. and much to his chagrin, she succeeds
 Robinson's partner, both in lar ceny and honesty, is played by Frederick Crawford, big, burly, afraid of no man (but Robinson) cast as a fellow who sticks by his friend even when he doubts that honesty is the best policy" Jack Carson has a role in the picture that is different from any of his previous ones. In Larceny, Inc, !" he is not the innocuous villain, but bright, affable leather goods salesman
 When the picture opens, Robin son and Crawford are about to be released from prison. Anthony Quinn, in the role of a fellow prisoner, tells them of plan to rob bank. Robinson turns it down on the grounds that he has something more profitable in mind. But when his more profitable" plan falls through, he sets about to do the bank job Then there are plenty of thrills.

 For Tax System
 Citing the tax system as one ex- ample of outmoded law, the report finds that If Alaska had a tax system equal in revenue raising power to that which prevails in the average state, the Territory and it's incorporated cities would be collecting about ten million dollars annually-an amount more than three times present receipts. If the Federal Government wishes to be relieved from repeated re- quests from Alaska for special as- sistance, it will have to remove the financial strait jacket in which the Territorial government has been dressed these many years"
 The report is part of the National Resources Planning Boards nation wide report REGIONAL RESOUR- CES DEVELOPMENT - REPORT FOR l942 transmitted to the Con- gress by the President some months ago. The Alaska section was prepared late in 1941 by the staff of the Boards regional office with the assistance of the field officers of Federal agencies operating in Alaska.

 Gel Paddy
 Case Today
Arguments in Murder Trial Begin in U. 5. District
 Court This Morning

P. J. Gilmore, Jr., Assistant U. s. Attorney, made the preliminary argument for the Government in the Paddy murder trial in the U. S.. District Court this morning during which he asked for an unqualified verdict of first degree murder based on the testimony of Government witnesses and the signed statement obtained from Paddy three days following the fatal shooting of Tony Simin.
 During his able argument Gill more pointed out the discrepancies between Paddy's testimony on the stand and the statements contained in his signed document. He also emphasized that the only witness for tlie defense, was Paddy himself.
 After the conclusion of the argu- ment for the Government ten minute recess was called by Judge George r. Alexander and at ll:10 when Court was reconvened, Freder- iok Paul, who with H. D. Stabler is representing William James Paddy, opened the argument for the de- fense. Paul based his argument principally on the fact that the signed document contained the statement that Paddy had been paid shortly before the shooting in Douglas, August 13, while it was brought out in his testimony on the stand, that all but $l0 of his wages had been attached If one statement is not true, the jury may take that into consideration in judging the veracity of the rest of the state ment, he said.
 Paul talked for only fifteen min- utes and at 11:25 o'clock turned the defense argument over to MT. Stabler, who had not completed his argument when Court adjourned at noon today. He was to resume his argument at o'clock and it is expected that the rebuttal of the Government will be concluded to- day and the case given to the jury, following instructions by Judge AL exander.

Air, Surface Engagements Continue Between U.

(By Associated Press)

American and Jap warships are reported maneuvering for titanic showdown battle in the Solomon Islands area as the U. s. Army troops today registered new gains at Guadalcanal.
 Flying Fortresses have smashed the big enemy air base of Rabaul, while military secrecy hid critical developments of the sea, the Navy declaring mdrely that operations constituted "a reconnaissance in force,' the same term applied to the opening phases of the great battle in the Coral Sea.
 Speaking in terms of the utmost restraint, Washington quarters said that air and surface engagements are continuing"
 It was indicated further that the two big armadas have not yet join ed in decisive battle. A U. s. Naval spokesman said both sides "are sparring for position"
 Tokyo likewise had little to say about operations in its latest re- port. Broadcast by German radio, the report fell back on the total ly unconfirmed claim that the Japs were attacking enemy naval forces" south of Santa Isabel Is- land last Monday, which resulted in the alleged sinking of an Allied cruiser and heavy damage to an other cruiser, as well as the de- struction of B planes near Santa Isabel Island, north of Guadal- canal
