JOE SMITH," LITTLE MAN,
 IS ACE FILM
Capitol Theatre Brings Bob Young, Marsha Hunt
 in Fine Acting Roles

Unfolding a story permeated with suspense and excitement, Joe Smith, American" opens tonight at the Capitol Theatre, with Robert Young and Marsha Hunt scoring as a typical young American mar ried couple.
 The theme was conceived for a magazine story by Paul Calico, well-known newspaper man, who wrote of events that are common in the headlines of the day. Metro Goldwyn-M Mayer produced the film, with Young in the title role.
 The quiet restraint of Young's technique, hailed in his recent title role characterization in I'll. M. Pull ham, sq.,' is again effective here. He appears as a typical American defense worker in a seething air craft factory Miss Hunt gives a warm and sympathetic portrayal as his wife, and Daryl Hichman is excellent as the small son who emulates his fathers integrity and courage.
 Young and his family live steady uneventful lives until he is assigned to work on a secret bomb sight. He is waylaid by four thugs on his way home, blindfolded and taken to their hideaWay, where they proceed to torment him in an effort to learn the secret of the new device. Their failure, and his dramatic escape provide thrilling moments.

 For the most part, according to British sources here, results in England have been so gratifying and so satisfactorily revolutionary that there is no thought of back stepping on any of the laws or orders operative today.
 The British pattern has made an indelible impression on manpower and other government officials in this country. It is almost certain that it will be followed to some extent in working out industrial and military Womanpower prob lems here.

nel opposite Treadwell. Witnesses on the boat said the craft was about 50 feet in the air and that they could see the wheels were down.
 On the boat were MT. and Mrs Allan Wicks, William Morrison and Jake Cropley, Jr.
 They said that one of the mo- tors was silent and they could see that the pilot was in trouble. They had headed the boat in the direc- tion the plane was taking when they saw it hit the water once then again before crashing.
 They estimated they were about "a mile or less away from the scene of the crash, The plane floated foi a short time and they were cer- tain that they saw the pilot either on the fusilage or the tail.
 Sank Quickly
 By the time the Marcheta ar rived, only few pieces of wreck age floated at the scene of the crash.
 Nine passengers were to have left Juneau on the plane yester- day They were Ruth Jensen anc Mrs. Julia Dean of the Alaska Office of Indian Affairs; Clara Mcconnell, visiting here from Sew ard, Edith Hansen, s. D. Baskin making trips to the Westward Lille and Jacqualine Carr, return ing to their home to the Westward after a visit here; Paul R. Pugh Deputy Collector of Internal Reve- nue, and Sgt. A. w. York, U s Army.
 Passengers Unloaded
 Glass had loaded the passengers at the field and started the mo- tors but was having trouble with one motor. He taxied the plane to the end of the taxi runway, tried to start the balky motor again, then ordered the passengers off and had baggage taken off.
 He then took off by himself on test run. Apparently he was un- able to gain enough altitude to bank and return to the field.
 The location of the sunken wreck was definitely established this morning by oil slicks and wreckage bits.

Murder mysteries intrigue me. Out of 499 Charlie Chan movies l have attended, to date 1 have pick cd no less than four of the mur- derers before the picture ended.
 That puts me in Class IA of the Movie Mystery Solvers of America, and eligible for gold pin with battered corpse emblazoned across it.
 My greatest triumph occurred during Charlie Chan thriller diller at Juneau theater recently. When the picture was only half through I loudly announced the probable murder and as the pie ture ended, I was proven correct,
 Many were the envious looks cast in my direction as the mystery unfolded. Through sheer genius l had picked an innocent looking jan itor who appeared only once dur ing the picture and then merely walked across a room and picked up waste paper basket.

been lending aid and comfort
to the enemy" by making untrue
statements relating to interna-

States.
Mr.. Hull made his remarks at a
press conference and then for en-
phasis issued them to the press for
direct quotation He volunteered
his views and did not specifically
connect them with any of such re-
cent developments as the reported
resignation Of Undersecretary Sum-

Maxim Litvinof as Soviet Ambas-
sador.
The Secretary's statement:
1T Is unfortunate that a few

others In an excess of zeal for one
theory or another, have dealt care

statements which are absolutely
untrue.

This relates often to interna-
