GINGER R0GER5AS MRS. AMERICA K
 NOW AT CAPITOL

Courage to appreciate the past and face the future is the keynote of Tender Comrade," Ginger Rog- CTS dramatic starring vehicle from RKO Radio.
 The plot concerns Jo and Chris, a couple of typical American youngsters who carry their school day friendship into marriage and dream happily of their future.
 Their plans are destroyed; Chris is called into service. Thereupon Jo gets herself a job in a defense plant. Besides the stress of separa- tion, there are housing and trans portation problems for Jo and many of the other war wives with whom she works. Four of them finally are forced to band together and rent a place of their own.
 How Jo and the other girls work out theh personal problems forms an expressing narrative, the TO- nance of Jo being highlighted in the action. The arrival of Jos baby, and her determination to carry on for Chris. Jr.'s sake, when she loses her husband, lends an emotional intensity to this inspir- ing tale of Mrs. America.

REGISTRY OF LANDS
 APPROVED

The House of Representative this morning passed with little fuss per haps one of the most far-reaching measures of the session in putting the approval stamp without amend ment to Senator Walkers captive lands bill which will require regis tration of all land outside incorpor- ated towns.
 The measure, number eight on the Senate books, is designed to provide a complete record of land ownership in the Territory and to force back into productive use the vast areas of patented land lying idle and whose ownership has become so obscured or forgotten that development there on is precluded.
 Under the bill, ali patented land must be registered by June 30, 1946 The bill also provides the Territory may take over such lands as fail to be registered and become delin- quent
 Pairing less happily was Senator Rogge's Senate Bill No. 5, asking certain changes in the primary elec- tion laws requiring a statement of citizenship for candidates declaring for office
 The bill was indefinitely postponed 13 to 10 when Representative Taylor moved for the morgue route with a reminder that Senators had killed a Taylor measure to have all Terri torial and Municipal employees file statements of their citizenship sta- tus.
 Passed in the usual storm of emas- culating amendments was Senate Bill No. 57, by Walker. The bill had asked referendum on the sub- jects of blanket primary ballots and direct election of national commit teemen.
 When House members got through routine used several times before ir that chamber, party politics had swung the axe and the bill read tc include the question of abolition oi fish traps and the blanket ballot no referendum on direct election oi national committeeman.

ming was an address by Mr.. Donald j.

sponsibility of the unions for MAINTAIN
ing price control, rationing control ana

of the first world war and the initiation
period which succeeded that event. MI. ,
Erskine said that most of the rise IN
prices after the first world war took
place after the war so it is particularly
necessary to keep prices under control
now when this war is nearing termina-
ton. The policy Of price control Is
almost world wide, according to MI
Erskine. it is not confined solely to the
United states He explained that eco
nonic balances must be maintained, so
that even though Montana and some
other states may have a surplus Of meat
or other goods it must be divided among
the people of the nation and especially
to those who are short Of these products
He also said that one Of the purposes
Of the OPA is not only to protect the
working people but to protect business
firms from failing. supplementing Mr.
