CHILLER TO END TONIGHT
 AT 10TH CENTURY

Based on the legends of the werewolf the mythical monster that changes from human into say age, bloodthirsty beast, "The Un- dying Monster" which is showing for the last times tonight at the Capitol Theatre, is a gripping tale, taut with suspense.
 Heather Angel, fragile and love- ly, is thoroughly convincing as Helga Hammond, an aristocratic English girl whose family archives concealed the truth about the weird monster that prowls the country side.
 John Howard turns in an adroit performance as Oliver, Helga s brother As the Scotland Yard in- vestigator, James Ellison is com pletely winning.
 All in all, 20th Century-Fox has succeeded in producing something unusual in the way of horror mys- teries. Director John Brahm, sea soned in the techniques of the mys- tery drama, has paced the scenes to race your pulse. The capable screen play, by Lillie Hayward and Michael Jacoby is from the novel by Jessie Douglas Kerrvish. Bryan Foy produced.

TR0LlER5 THANK JUNEAU CHAMBER
 FOR ASSISTANCE


 A letter of appreciation from the Juneau local of the United Trollers of Alaska to the Juneau Chamber of Commerce was read at today's meeting, thanking the Chamber for help in attempting to settle the fish, ing problem. Secretary Al Schramen signed the letter.
 The fishermen are to leave for fishing today, going out under pro- test while the problems remain as yet unsettled.
 After last weeks meeting, at the suggestion of Curtis Shattuck, the Chamber sent the following message to the House Merchant and Marine Committee which has been inves- tigating the Office of Price Admin istration in connection with the tieup of the fishing fleet.
 we note April 24 press dispatch that your committee interested in having OPA find solution to Alaska fishing tieup. We are advised today by J. w. Mendelhall of Ketchikan, who was in Washington recently to present the fishermen's case that the 'OPA is firm in that no changes will be made until fishing is resum- ed, then it will consider minor ad- justr, ants such as straight halibut prices less the differential between Rupert and Alaska and higher win ter prices and the 12-pound limit on salmon
 If the OPA can consider adjust ments after fishing is resumed, why can't it do so now? Why are they not taking action now?
 we believe it is time Congress insists that OPAs bureaucratic, dic- tatorial attitude gives way to a fair minded solution of the Alaska fish, ermen's problems and cannot see why they should expect the fisher men to fish under their existing. l944 price regulations.
 "The price differentials on halibut and refusals to grant 12-pound break for mild cure prices on salmon is both grossly unjust and in our opinion shows an entire lack of con- sideration by the OPA to the prob lems and actual fishing conditions peculiar to Alaska.
 "Alaskas biggest industry may be greatly harmed by the continued tieup which will result in military inductions, pressure of which is now being applied, and by others leaving the industry for other work.
 Weeks of essential food produc- tion are lost already with more gone each day of additional delay, so we feel immediate action is absolutely necessary and would appreciate any assistance you can give"
 Alaska Delegate Anthony J. Di- mond also was asked to get in touch with the committee and re- piled by wire that he would do so at once.

"A STRANGER IN TOWN" WILL END,
 CAPITOL SCREEN

Small time politics is given a swift booting by Frank Morgan in a climactic speech in M-G-M's ex- citing "A Stranger in Town" end- ing tonight at the Capitol Theatre.
 Morgan, who dons the robe of a justice of the U. S. Supreme Court, starts out for a vacation during re- cess of the highest court in the land. He originally planned to go duck hunting, but instead blunders upon spineless young barrister in a small town. and injects the neces- sary gumption to make the lawyer fight fire with fire.
 But it is not his judicial guidance of a small-town legal advocate that inspires Morgan's speech. Not by a long shot. It is tie petty politics which some individuals in authority seem to think is greater than to- morrow.
 If ever you wanted to see Morgan feel the part, this is it. And he doesn't hesitate to speak his mind either. Addressing his nemesis, he says, If I speak strongly about these things, it is because I feel strongly about them"
 Seen in the supporting cast are Jean Rogers, Richard Carlson and a number of others.

HEINTzLEMAN IN
 TALK TODAY AT
 CHAMBER MEET

Regional Forester B. Frank Heintzleman was guest speaker be- fore the Chamber of Commerce this noon, reporting on plans for postwar industrial development of Alaska as well as suggestions for developing the tourist stopover trade after the war
 He urged. that the coming legis- lature be pressed to set up some sort of development agency for the Territory which would coordin- ate the activities of local groups, and said that some public money should be spent along this line.
 As an example of the tremendous interest in Alaska, Heintzleman said the CAA recently ran ads in papers Outside for two employees and received 3o,0O0 applications in one week Letters from prospective Alaskans are pouring into the of flee of the Division of Territories and Island Possessions in Wash ington at the rate of 100 to 200 day.
 The Regional Forester said that a new attempt is being made to start pulp project in Southeast Alaska near Ketchikan where 7h million feet of timber will be block ed off for this purpose. Company officials will be up this summer to look the site over. Other lumber industrial concerns are interested in expanding to Alaska, he said plywood, wood preserving and lum- bering.
 Speaking of the tourist trade, he said Southeastern Alaska needs cheaper transportation facilities, and also will need lodges and re- sorts set up or the prospective tour ists if Alaska is to get them after the war.
 Guests included c. E. Swanson of Petersburg, the Rev. s. o. Whit man of Seattle, and Earl J. Water worth of the Coast Guard Auxiliary.

MISSIONARY IN
 TALK HERE ON
 JAP ATROCITIES

The Rev. s. o. Whitman of Seat- tie, escaped prisoner of war from the Philippines, spoke at the Cham Der of Commerce this noon, describ- ing unbelievable tortures of Ameri- can men, women and children by the Japanese after the invasion of the Philippines.
 He said that when the prisoners were rounded up by the conquering Japanese they were forced to stand in a tightly packed crowd without food for several days, then some were taken out to work on the streets. Those who were too weak to work were run down by trucks and buried alive.
 A doctor was slowly cut to pieces in front of the other prisoners. Two Red Cross nurses were violated and then disemboweled.
 One missionary woman was put to death by slow torture after see- ing Jap soldiers cut ner two child- ren. one 8, the other 10, until they died.
 He said the American boys took the test without any signs of fear, although some got so angry they were killed fighting.
 Whitman has six sons in the ser- vice who volunteered while their father was held prisoner.
 He will speak at the Capitol The atre this evening.

Cincinnati Enquirer)

The breaking apart of new Liberty ship in
Alaskan waters with loss of IS seamen is not
matter to be dismissed lightly. 1t is the latest in
series of incidents showing that haste in shpbuildng
infrequenty has excused the overlooking OF proper
safety factors
1t was only the third voyage for the Liberty ship
John Straub when her hull parted amidships, in
the vicinity of the end OF the Aeutians chain
The forward section of the vessel sank Immediately.
Only Is members of the crew of 80 survived in the
frigid water when vessels reached the scene.
AS in previous instances where new Liberty ships
have sustained hull ruptures the John Straub evident
ly was built with number of hidden stressesa fault
prefabrication and welding rather than basic de-
sign The Liberty ship design which has been STAN
dard for hundreds Of vessels has pretty thoroughly
proved itself.
For that matter, of course prefabrication OF Sec
tons in the interests of speed of construction and the
use of welding to replace the slower rveting, have
both proved themselves to be useful and reasonably
safe shipbuilding methods We must assume that the
trouble lay in faulty inspection and welding. 1t is
not enough for design to be right construction
method to be practicable. They must be executed
properly
If somebody 'cut corner" or two ip the building
and inspection of the John Straub, to make the job
little easier to make a little more money the
result was murder of IS and blow at our war
effort effective any enemy submarine could have
administered.
We trust there will be an. investigation long
enough and thorough enough to determine the reason
for the disaster of the John Straubnot alone to fix
responsibility but to reduce the likelihood of repetition
