EROSION URGES
BETTER AIRPORT
BUILDING HERE

Joe E. Crosson, well-known in
Alaska aviation, told members of
the Juneau Rotary Club today that
the airport facilities at Juneau are
far from adequate and that better
terminal building could be put to
good use right now.
He suggested, however, that only
temporary building be attempted
for the present since conditions four
or five years from now may be al

President Harold Foss named a
committee headed by Gov. Ernest
Gruening to meet with Crosson to
discuss the problem Immediately

INSIDE STORY"
OF GERMANY ENDS
AT CAPITOL SHOW

Revealing for the first time on
the screen the real inside story OF
the inhuman master race Hitler is
endeavoring to create in Germany,
RKO Radios 'Hitlers Children
will be shown for the last time to-
night at the Capitol Theatre. 1t
is an amazing, daring and signifi-
cant picture.
Tim Holt, Bonita Granville and
Kent Smith play in the uniquely
unusual film which is based on
Gregor Ziemer's provocative "Edu-
cation for Death" factual ac-
count of his ten years as head of
the American Colony School in
Berlin and what he saw from that
ringside seat of Nazi educational
doctrines. A great love story is in
terwoven with the theme of the
production. The plot revolves
around the plight of two young
people who are baffled in their love
for each other and are caught up
in the relentless gears of the Nazi
machine. Rebelling against the die
tates of their superiors, they en-
deavor to escape but fail; and in
stirring climax they seek to warn
their fellows against the evils OF
Nazism.

SPECIFIC PRICES,
CERTAIN ARTICLES,
ARE LISTED BY 0PA

Effective April 20 in the seventeen
larger towns of the Territory speci-
fic prices have been issued on APP
proximately 95 items of popular
brands of egg noodles, spaghetti,
and macaroni. This is according to
an announcement made today by
the office of Price Administration.
These are added to the list of flat
prices that have been set for most
of the food items used by the aver
age Alaskan family. Complete lists
of these prices have been furnished
all Alaska retailers in the towns
affected and lists are available to
consumers at the War Price and
Rationing Boards in the various
towns.
Consumers are urged by the OPA
to obtain copy of these prices and
to use it when doing their shop
ping. Every store must mark its
specific dollar and-cent prices on
the package, shelf, or tray, for all
items listed. BY comparing selling
prices with top legal prices and by
not paying more than the specific
price, shoppers can contribute a
great deal to the fight against
initiation.
