Bowery born. Del went TO New
York as featured vocalist with
Vaughn Monroe and his band.
She was chosen to appear on the
"On Stage Everybody" radio
show sponsored by Universal Pic
lures and to co-star with Frank
Sinatra on the air.
A familiar Bowery headliner is
tenor Paddy Cliff. Frankie knew
he was a find and billed him
until his fame spread far and
wide. Paddy leaves soon to open
at the Latin Quarter in New York.

THE VOGUE for oldtime must
Gals in celluloid form seems to be
sweeping the country back to the
days of bustles and horse-cars.
The latest studio to turn on the
gaslights is Universal. which has
Just produced "Bowery TO Broad
way" opening Friday at the Fox.
This has all the newtimers as
we'll as the oldtimers in IT, IN fact,
it is practically a tuneful roll call
of every player on the Universal
lot.
There's Maria Montez. Susanna
Foster. the new Turkish delight,
Turhan Bey, Jack Oakie, Louise
Allbritton. Frank McHugh, Leo
GARLIC and a dozen other well
known stars.
But il was the title which made
the local promotion department

up a local parallel. since all the
other parallels were out of town
STAR-LAUNCHER
This one was aimed at frankie
Barbara, the famous entrepreneur
i of the Bowery who, when he
counts his lucky stars, finds that
several have literally gone from
the ''Bowery TO Broadway"
So they screened the picture for
frankie and lovely Del Parker
one of his loveliest and latest dis
coveries, yesterday and we went
not only to see the picture, which
is a very entertaining one, but
also to check on Frankie's batting
average, which would be high ir
any night club league.
Number one on Barbaro's Star
Parade is Harvey Stone. Frank
gave Harvey his first big time
booking. After a long run at the
Bowery, Harvey was being con-
sidered 10 replace Milton Berle
(who was being considered BY
Uncle SAM in the Broadway hit
"Ziegfield Follies." However. Berle
was rejected and Harvey was
drafted. Cpl. Stone has recently
made guest appearances at La
Martinique and Leon and Eddy''
and is making a terrific hit or
Broadway.

SHOW YOUR INDEPENDENCE

Considering the events of the political campaigns
now coming end it is sincere hope that the
people of Alaska, when they go 10 the polls next
Tuesday will show emphatcally that they resent and
will stand for the interference in local affairs that
has been going in Alaska for too long time.
The Organic Act leaves Alaskans free to do one
thing at least to choose without approval from any
Outside source members of their Territorial Legis-
lature and Delegate to represent them in the
nations capital
No one deny that most of the campaigning
for certain candidates has been carried on by Federal
appointees who should have business at all in
taking an active part in the election.
When Congress granted to Alaskans a certain
amount of home rule apparently Congress expected
us to use it.
Because have own legislative assembly,
stated with representatives which can pick our
selves, Alaskans have the right to determine for
themselves how they shall handle their local affairs
The Federal Government can impose no taxes
upon Alaskans that not also imposed upon all OF
the people of the United States Thank God for that
Most Alaskans should realize by now that the
present Federal administration in Alaska has been
for some time still doing its darndest to force our

legislature to impose more taxes upon the people of
Alaska
Members of the last two sessions of the legislature
have been PANIED quite often for failing to impose
more taxes One of the arguments that Alaska,
in wartime is packed with civilian workers who
are making scads of money and the Territory ought
to get some of it, OF the joker in this is that
these persons can't be taxed and the permanent
residents overlooked in the deal Taxes be equal
in this respect
The large investors are also hit at continually as
failing to pay their share of the tax bill in Alaska
We mention here one instancethe of the Alaska
Juneau mine which was one of the few mines operat-
ing last year In the face of loss of s170000 the
company paid than $4,000 in taxes.
We encouraged to impose more taxes SO we
can spend money planning commissions, ETC. which
will paint an attractive picture Turing capital into
Alaska While at the same time, if we stop to think,
the best way to get capital into Alaska is to
offer an opportunity for investment in which the
profits wont all be taken through taxes.
The thing to work for it, is to main
tain tax system which will encourage investment
in Alaska. The money derived from taxes will mount
up accordingly Alaska has yet reached the stage
where we need to shut the door to further growth
through taxation.
1t is the duty of each session of the legislature
to look ahead for two years and .impose taxes
cordingly Alaska hasn't slipped into the red, in
spite of patchwork tax system" In fact the
Treasury is in very good shape at present Alaskans
might even want to reduce taxes next year, if they
feel like it.
There has been ample warning given concerning
the maneuvers designed to control local affairs
The people privileged to heed these warnings or
disregard them, as they wish.

WHAT NEXT?


We see by the papers that Mrs. Rose Wilder Lane
the woman novelist, announces she is going into re-
tirement until America produce "a politician Who'll
stand up and tell the truth"
Not very long CO. another woman, Miss Vivian
Kellems, threw the Treasury Department into an
uproar when she decided she wasn't going to pay her
Federal taxes.
This is indeed an era for rugged individuaism
However, it looks to if Mrs Lane has
written her last novel, that is if Mrs. Lane is really
earnest in her VOW.
After ALL when you ask a politician to stand up
and tell the truth you're going against nature.
What we can't understand, however, is how any
man who at some time or another had acquired the
embarrassing habit of telling the truth ever would
get to be politician 1t might well be- however that
one of these days genuine politician will suddenly
have change of heart and start out to tell the truth
And even then, nobody would believe him. That's the
sad part of it.

having done an inexcusably bad job

showing the effect OF tropical
weather on paper matches.

the memo and commented In Ell

Later, the Swedes also saw the
memo prepared by their American

opinion that the tropical argument
was too weak.
