K. R. MAY OPERATE VESSELS
 ON OCEAN ROUTE

Extension of the services of The Alaska Railroad to include the op- eration of oceangoing vessels be- tween Alaska and the continental United States has been approved by the House Territories Committee in reporting Delegate E. L. Bart let's enabling legislation to he House.
 The measure has the approval of the Interior Department, and in a letter to the committee included in the. report, Acting Secretary Chapman stated, in part, as fol- lows:
 Steamship service of private car riers between the States and AL aska has long been unsatisfactory, although the rates have been sub stantially higher than for com parable service elsewhere. The ships used have been old and of poor quality and irregular in their op- erations. Since 1942 the War
 
 Shipping Administration has been operating these ships, and now that the war is over it is supposed to turn them back to the private op- erators The steamship com panies claim that they cannot take their ships back from the Government and maintain service under existing freight rates and passenger fares.
 On their behalf, therefore, the War Shipping Administration has petitioned the Maritime Commis- sion for increases. The hearings on this petition were summoned on very short notice despite the pro- tests of the people of Alaska, and of various Government agencies concerned with Alaska, including this Department. At the first ses- sion of these hearings. the President of the Alaska Steamship Company testified that if freight rates alone were 10 be increased. his company would require an in- crease of l6l percent over 1889 rates or l08 percent over present rates, but that if passenger rates as well as freight rates were in- creased, the increase would need to be only 99 percent over 1889 rates or 65 percent over present rates.
 Tt is obvious that any such in- crease would send the cost of living in Alaska to such heights that it would stop completely the develop ment of the Territory and would cause the withdrawal from Alaska of many of the people now living there.
 The Alaska Railroad has for years been operating freight and passenger carrying vessels on the Yukon and Panama Rivers, carrying cargoes vast distances within the Territory. Tn 1884. during a eessa- ton of shipping due to disagree ments between the management and the labor force in the shipping industry, the Alaska Railroad also operated steamships between Se- attle and Alaska ports, pursuant to an executive order of the President.
 T am convinced that the time is particularly opportune for the enactment of HR. 473l inasmuch as the development of Alaska, which now more than ever before is matter of real importance to the national defense and economy, would be promoted by such legis- lation. Moreover the availability of

 The opening lead was won in dummy with the diamond ace. the nine of hearts was led and Hawk (East) refused to cover. Declarer let 1t ride, then led the four of hearts and finessed the ten-spot. He then le dthe nuine of clubs, took the flnesse, and Hawk won with the king.
 Now Hawk felt sure he had the contract defeated. He returned @ diamond. South won and led an- other club. Dummy's ace won and now the good queen of clubs was trumped. The king of diamonds was cashed, dummy was entered with a spade. the club jack was trumped and another spade led to dummy.
 When the last club was led Hawk had to trump Declarer over- trumped and captured Hawks king with his ace. A double grand coup gave South his contract!

STRAND

Closing tonight at the Strand is rivival of Gangs, Inc" featur- ing Alan L.add. The companion feature is "Frolics On Ice," with Virginia Dare.
 Vera Hruba RalSton glided to prominence on a pair of magic silver skates but 1t was her drama tic ability which brought her to motion picture fame.
 The blonde and beautiful actress who comes to the Strand Theater tomorrow has achieved stardom by remarkable courage and outstand- ing ability.
 On her first visit to the U. s. through James Johnston, of Madi- son Square Garden, she was intro- duced to Herbert J. Yates, presi- dent of the Republic Studio. After arranging an auditor in New York, Yates advised her to master the English language; which she spoke haltingly. He also advised her to trim her figure to the ideal t2O lbs Then he had her introduced in a ice revue, at the Hotel New Yorker. where she was an immediate suc- cess.
 Then Yates sent her on tour. in the spectacular "Ice Vanities" All during this time the girl dtlengtly studied the language and adhered to training schedule that kept her in perfect physical shape.
 Uncle sam extended her pass ana Yates case her to star in Republic "Ice Capades Review" The film was q success, and Miss Ralston achiev- cd personal acclaim. This triupmh resulted in her signing long term contracted with Republic Studio. Since then she has appeared m i've pictures, "Ice Capades of 1892" 'I,ady and the Monster" Lake Placid Serenade." Storm Over Lis- bon" and "Dakato."
 "Murder in the Music Hall" IS her most important role to date. This Is due to the fact that her dramatic ability Is predominant, while, at the same time, her talent on the ice has an ample oppcr- tunity to be displayed.
 The companion feature Is The Cstman Of Paris" featuring Carl Hssnond.

POLL

Ending its engagement today at the Loew-Poli Theater is the gay and diverting film, The Diary of a Chambermaid," starring lively Paulette Goddard, Burges Mere-> dith, Hurd Hatfield, famous for his Dorian Grey." and Francis Lederer.
 The second attraction is the action-packed mystery thriller, Crime of the Century" starring Michael Browne and Stephanie Bachelor.

Packed with a score of scintillating new song hits, high hilarity and an exciting romantic story, the film was directed. by Gregory Ratoff and produced by George JesSel.
 Tn the fabulous Hollywood story book of success, there is chapter which began once upon a time that finds a new ending in Do You Love Me-" As the tale goes. there was Q struggling young songwriter. Haynes, without royalty to his name, working as an extra in movieland to keep from starving. Then, one day, on Q hunch, he packed his bag with the unsold song manuscripts and headed for New York.
 The going was tough, no one would even admit him, let alone listen to his tunes. until he hap pened by chance upon another young fellow. James. Harry, who was just organizing his own band after blowing his horn for two years with Benny Goodman, list ened to him, then said in kindly way: Your songs are terrible, but your voice is swell, so why don't you forget your song writing ann bitions and sing with my band?"
 So Haynes went to work for James, and as the new James band rose to prominence, so did Dicks voice. Ultimately, with Harry's ape proval. Dick broke away to strike out on his own. eventually to be- come King of the luke Box while James rose to number one place in the country as a King of Swing

All set to dress up your toes for the summer show of feet on the beach or in town in topless shoes2
 Before you begin, let us remind you that Q pedicure Is not a mari- cure. given to another flock of nails. The two differences which should be observed, in the interest of foot health, have to do with the way you file nails and the way you cope with cuticles.
 Nails on toes, for instance, need to be filed straight across. They should be kept long enough to cover the flesh line. To treat these grotmd-dloor subjects as though they were fingernails by rounding or tapering the corners is an invi- tation to trouble.
 Cuticles on toenailS, unlike cuti- cles on fingernails, should never be touched with sharp instruments. Nicks or bruises can make toes a push-over for infection. A safer method of coping with horny rims around the base of toes is to probe after you soak your feet to soften up cuticle-with an orange stick wrapped in cotton and dipped in oil.
 To make smoothies out of rough ratl surfaoes-a not uncommon problem facing the home pedicur- ist-buh down the bumps or ridges with an emery board.
 All of this done, return your feet to the studs. While they're dunking, take some pointers from the Na- tional Association of Chiropodists- the men who take your feet in hand -on how to take foot-bath.
 These specialists advise using a stiff brush and good soapy lather and suggest that a daily scrub like this brings you step closer to sum- mer foot health.

Diseases Called G0ut Not Due to Drinking

tion described as gout.
 On the other hand most good physicians today recognize the de- posits of urates or uric acid salts in tissues or joints is a result, not the cause, of the trouble, whatever 1t nay be.
 So it is my belief that the num- erouS acutes and chronic ailments or disease called gout are one thing or another, certainly not due to high living, drinking, lack of exer- cise-if these factors produced gout there should be more gout today than ever before. It is actually al- most a curiosity when doctor finds a case he does not hestitate to call gout.
 On the whole feel as secure against the possibility of suffering any illness from exposure to cold and wet or of having nervous breakdown as I do against the pos- Sibility of getting the gout.

age soldiers from taking their frat- ternization and frauleins too ser- iously'."
 what Is the Army cartoonist supposed to do-make pin-up girls of the frauleins?
 After all, the Army itself hasn't been too chivalrous toward the women of Germany. First, the GIs were forbidden to fraternize at all. Then, since that ruling couldn't be enforced, the Army sad, "Okay fraternize. But you can't marry the girls"
 All the cartoonist was doing was using an even stronger weapon against the wileS of the fraterniz- ing frauleins-the weapon of ridi- cule.
 For nothing is so devastating to romance as is ridicule, as many @ parent, bent on breaking up a TO- nance, has found out.
 RIDICULE RUINS ROMANCE
 Tell a daughter Q young man won't make good husband for several sound reasons, and she is deaf. But somehow manage to make the young man appear ridiculous and she begins to wonder what she ever saw in him.
 So if the young American men in Germany are beginning to take their frauleins seriously, perhaps they need Don sheppard's deglana- orizing cartoons. A}
 The very fact that the Germans have protested against the cartoons must mean they have hit the mark
 Are we, or aren't we, more in- terested in keeping American boys from getting seriously involved with German women than we are in catering to the German pride?

No one as yet has expressed the wish that I may get hydrophonia just to show whether I'd really take my chances without Pasteur treat ment. Of course if I had rabies l might not be capable of judging about that. But in my normal or shall we say ordinary state of mind I'm positive I would not take PaSteur treatment in any conceiv- able circumstance. Incidentally 1t is my offhand belief-I can't go through the vast amount of data in my files noW-that there are no cases on record in which PaSteur treatment effected the cure or saved the life of 8 person presumably III of rabies. All of the "cures" credit ed to PaSteur virus are cures of people who had nothing the mat ter-they had been licked, touched or bitten by an animal that was presumably rabid. If l were bitten or scratched by an animal, whether the animal were presumed to have rabies or not, I'd want immediate or the earliest obtainable surgical treatment of the wound and a pro phylactic dose of tetanus (lock- jaw) antitoxin or serum, and prob- ably second injection of the same antitoxin 5 to 2 days later. That's all.
 But many reader has wished that might CD catch cold from exposure, CD get the rheumatism from cold and dampness, (0 have a nervous breakdown from over- work, strain and worry, or even 1O get the gout. They are not mali cious about 1t, just anxious to teach me the facts of life-and they in1a- zine I'll have to believe in such things if they happen to me.
 Well, let's table the first three hypotheses and discuss the gout.
 I still say there is no scientif1c basis for the notion that too much uric acid; deposit or accumula- ton of uric acid or mono-sodium urate or other salt of uric acid in the tissues or the joint is not the cause of any trouble, call it gout or what you please.
 In various diseases chemical an- alysis reveals more than the normal proportion or amount of uric acid in the blood. Few of these diseases have any resemblance to the condi-

is any other veteran Hollywood ob- server. Where Filmvflle marriages are concerned. gossip, no matter how elusive in it's origin, has an rn- canny habit of coming true. It's much more dependable than the de- nials with which it is almost met.
 William Boyd, who plays Hop along Cassidy" on the screen, will make a personal appearance tour this summer, but instead of doing an act on theater stages, he's go- ing to stage picnics for his kid fans in 20 different cities. Now there's a worthwhile idea, not only for Boyd, but for the entire film industry. Bill is a ulable, clean living chap and he'll make thous- ands of good friends on his tour. It wouldn't hurt other stars to take e page from his book and try to get closer to the public.
 With Reggy Cummins apparently out of Forever Amber" specula- ton is running high about her re- placement-if 2Oth Century Fox musters temerity enough to resume production of the picture. Numerous actresses have been mentioned and several of them-notably Linda Darnell-seem likely candidates. Personally, I feel sorry for the one that gets the part, for it's a fore- gone conclusion that every critic will compare her work with that of Paulette Goddard in Kitty" a story so much like Forever Am Der" that only their authors could tell them apart. I don't approve of kitty" for general audience fare, but I do approve of Miss Goddard's acting. I don't think anyone in the entire industry can hold a candle to Paulete in that particular kind of Q role.
 Exactly three days after Los Angeles newspapers announced that Henri Carpentier, the world famous French chef, had arrived here, received the following publicity dis patch: Henri Carpenter has ac- claimed Jack Carson the best anna teur male cook in the film colony. I'm more impressed by Carpentier's speed as an investigator than I am by Carson's skill as kitchen me- chanic.

MISS AMERICA LECTURES

MISS AMERICA LECTURES
 Bess Myerson, Miss America, is on a lecture tohr and doing very well. In fact, she's been so well received the applause has drowned out the eye-poppdng
 But 1t proves that eye-appeal isn't what interests people. Yes sir. what draws the crowds to Miss Myerson's lectures is her well-developed personality. But I exercise a similar influence on some of those Hollywood girls. After several dates with me, Hedy Lamalr went around making speeches What I didn't hhe' about 1t !. she made 'em to her lawyer.
 I understand Miss America is the intellectual type. She went to college and got nothing but "A's". Then went to Atlantic City and got nothing but "Ahs." Even at Atlantic City they were still judging, 1t was evident that the future Miss America was an iatel- lectual, One look at her in bath ing suit and you could see she be- longed to the Back -Of-The- Month" Club.
 hope none of these film cuties get ideas about going intellectual, because my type would never get dates. And in my case. 1t would be Q double blow. I just got through making the last payment on my new 1046 yo-yo.
 Miss America has done some eS- fective research in seometry. The old mathenaticians established that a straight line was the stort- est distance between two points. But Miss Myerson proved that . curve was the incest.
