Major studios with high h-poWered

chuckling up their sleeves over the
announcement from Gary Cooper
that he has decided to quit making
movies on his own and resume as a
free lance star.
In the past IL months there has
been a veritable epidemic of big
time stars leaving studios to finance
and produce their own films. II the
wave continues much longer the
lots will find themselves bereft OF
all but secondary stars. Among the
big names to try going 1t on their

Charles Boyer and Ginger Rogers
Contemplating the step at this mo-

The big laugh producers get out
of Gary Cooper's return IS the state
ment he repeatedly made to the ef.
feet that he took a loss OF $4,000

COMMUNICATION
Editor Daily Alaska Empire: Dear Sir:

Editor Daily Alaska Empire: i Dear Sir:
 T have read without surprise the Governors harangue about the re- cent Legislature, (the Senate 1T particular). The Governor has a habit of condemning those who dc not blindly follow his advice or or ders, although they are the elected representatives of the people while he is a super legislator who is not elected.
 T have consistently supported the Governor for over four years. My admiration for him has turned to contempt after his repeated acts of duplicity in breaking his given word.
 No lengthy answer will be given at this time, as prefer to make them next year when thirty-two new members come up for election to the Legislature.
 T received one cowardly anony- nous letter (that of course is im- possible to answer). I do not intend to muckrake and have no doubt that the minions of the Governor will hurl many charges at me that can wait for answer at the proper time.
 During this time of the nations grief over the loss of a great leader 1t might be interesting to reflect that when our dead President looks back on his record of glorious achievements, his appointment of Governor Gruening will hardly be one of them

Following the testimony of foul witnesses, the prosecution at noon today rested it's case against Dan White, charged with embezzlement Presentation of the defense, which was to get under way at 2 o'clock this afternoon, is expected to be brief, with prospect of conclusion of the trial soon reached.
 Twelve jurors to try the action were selected in short order yes- terday afternoon and the Govern ment. opened the prosecution by calling the complaining witness, Charles E. Pearl. His testimony es- tablished that he is a joint owner of the seine boat St. Louis, on which the defendant was engaged as captain during the fishing season last summer. Owner of the other half-interest in the vessel is the Estate of George Fenton.
 The prosecution alleges that White appropriated to his own use approximately $500 of the receipts of the fishing venture.
 In his opening statement, De- fense Counsel William raul, Jr., countered that the defendant would seek to establish that the money was due to him for services rem dered, to the best of his belief, and that. there is foundation for that belief.
 Following his turn on the stand yesterday, Pearl was recalled this morninng for redirect and re-cross examination. Succeeding him in the witness chair was Clifford Erickson, superintendent for the Sebastian Stuart Fish Company, at Tyee, where two catches were sold and

IBACH5 FOUND
 GUILTY ON ALL
 THREE CHARGES
Jury Reaches Agreement in Eary Morning Hours
 Stiff Penalties Possible

Guilty as charged on all three counts. was the verdict returned by the jury this morning in U. 5 District Court here, against ootr Winifred and Horace Ibach.
 The jurors are reported to have reached agreement at 2:lO O'CLOCK this morning, after nearly l2 hours of deliberation. At one point, at the i,lrv's request, opposing counsel and the defendants were called back to the courtroom, while Judge George F. Alexander clarified points with regard to the law in the case This unusual procedure occurred at about 6 o'clock last evening, after the jurors had been striving to reach a verdict for more than three hours.
 The verdict, as signed by Fore man Bert F. McDowell, found the co-defendants guilty of Kidnapping assault with a dangerous weapon, and burning of a gasboat with ln- tent to injure the owner. on the kidnap charge each of the defend- ants is subject to sentence of from one to 10 years in a penitentiary' The conviction of destroying a boat makes them each liable to prison sentences of from three to 10 years. Three alternative penalties are at- forded by the statute on assault with a dangerous weapon. On that charge they may each be sen tenced to from six months to l0 years in prison, or receive jail sen- tences of from one month to one year, or be fined minimum of sloO to a maximum of Sl l,o0o. Each of the convicted persons thus faces a total possible penalty of 30 years in prison.
 Whether Defense Counsel Howard D. Stabler contemplates further action in the case is not stated.
