THE WAY AHEAD AT 2OTH CENTURY
 IS SIMPLE STORY

"The Way Ahead" is the feature opening at the 20th Century to- night. The Way Ahead" is not Ia war film in the accepted sense. It carries no message, it does not cxhort. It is simple story of seven men who, like free men since Valley Forge and Concord, answer ed the call to arms. Despite their uniforms, despite their battle rec ords, they are not regulars" They donned a uniform to do job.
 The Way Ahead has more hu- nor than argument more human ity than heroics. It shows the seven men who are it's main char acters from their days as awkward rockies to their final great test of combat. It takes them through their last moments with their wives and sweethearts and families through experiences that will thrill every human heart. It shows them as you know they are.
 "The Way Ahead is not story of supermen. Its star. David Nivin, and it's cast headed by Raymond Huntley, Billy Hartnell and Stanley Holloway, play the roles of plain people and from that fact comes the films wonderful quality.

UNIQUE MURDER DRAMA SHOWING
 AT CAPITOL NOW

Uncle Harry is gripping sus- pense story, superbly told, and ar exceptional motion picture from every audience angle. The fea- ture is now at the Capitol Theatre A disquieting bond of affection between a brother and sister is a basis for the absorbing plot. George Sanders, co-starred with Geraldine Fitzgerald and Ella Raines, deliv- CTS to the fullest as the brother Harry, displaying unsuspected yer satility.
 Miss Fitzgerald is equally force full in the difficult role of the sis ter, Lettie, whose adoration be- comes an obsession. Miss Raines matches the performances of her co-stars as the third corner of the triangle. She appears as the att tractive New York fashion author ity who falls in love with the broth CT
 The consequent rivalry with its crashing climax, is screen drama of breathtaking calibre and amplified by the somber locale, quaint New Hampshire township.
 Other outstanding talent in the film includes Moyna Macgill, seen as an older sister. Sara Allgood Harry Won Zell, Judy Clark and Samuel s. Hinds all deliver gener- ,ously to the films vitality.
 Uncle Harry" is strong, worth while entertainment that will re- ceive widespread approval.

SHIPPING BILL DIES AS EXTRA
 SESSION ENDS
All Major Purposes oi Special Legislature
 Are Achieved

The extraordinary session of the Seventeenth Alaska Territorial Leg islature passed into history at 9:5C o'clock last evening when Senate President Edward D. Coffey's gav- el fell to proclaim adjournment sine die The House adjourned 10 min- utes earlier.
 Forty laws, six memorials and five resolutions were enacted dur ing the 30 days of lawmaking.
 That mark was hit by Senate passage. of II bills on the final day of the session. Though they did not by any means clean up their calen- dar, the Senators were satisfied that the purpose of the special session had been achieved.
 1 Highlight of the closing meeting last evening was consideration oi i S.B. 35. the super emergency shipping bill wired from Washing 1 ton for introduction on the next to-last-day of the session. The ! solons opened their evening ses- sion by voting to put that bill or | top of the calendar and act on il alone.
 During Second Reading, two amendments were made to the measure; One set the starting ap- propriation at $7,500; the other re- vamped the membership of the shipping Authority, supplanting the Governor and Secretary of Alaska with the Auditor and Highway En- gineer who, with the Attorney General. would make up an all- Territorial board.
 However, the measure was doom- ed to die as far as the special ses- sion was concerned. A motion to suspend the rules and advance S.B. 35 to passage stage failed by single vote of securing the need ed two-thirds majority Senator Howard Lyng. a presumed SUD- porter of the bill arrived just too late to cast his vote.
 ConJirmations After notifying the Governor and House of readiness to adjourn, the Senate was delayed from closing by Lyng, who argued that the Legis- lature should stand by to act on confirmation of appointments to the Veterans Board. On motion by Senator N. R. Walker, commit tee was dispatched to ascertain if the Governor had signed the measure-the answer brought back was no; whereupon the Senate ad- journed.
 President Coffey evoked the big laugh of the evening by naming Walker to head the committee; for in his motion the Ketchikan Sena- tor had specified that it be com prised of those Senators who are mot personnae non grata with the Governor" tWalker was author oi Senate Memorial No. 1, asking a speedy exit for Gov.

 The afternoon session was a busy time, during which six House measures were passed by the Sen ate and seventh was indefinitely postponed.
 Climaxing the afternoon with a fireworks display was House Bill l the highly controversial measure in- creasing unemployment compensa- tion benefits from s16 to $25 and extending the payoff period from Is to 25 weeks. The measure passed Second Read-

percent of the Jewish refugees
insItaly have indicated that they
wish to emigrate to Palestine, it
has been announced here by the
Central Committee of Jewish
Refugees" which conducted a
poll among the displaced Jews.
The results are based on replies
received from 9,160 of the esti-
mated $4,000 Jewish refugees in
this country.
Of the two percent who ex-
pressed a desire to go to other
countries besides Palestine, most
choose the United States, Cana
da and Argentina. None of those
questioned declared that they
wished to return to their home
lands.
Only 80 percent of the 9,160
indicated that they were Zion
lists, while 16 percent said that
they had been anti-Zionist, but
realize now that their only hope
for a peaceful and productive
life lies in Palestine.
Other statistical data obtained
from the pOl1 reveals that "a

A Unique
Anniversary

February IA, 1916 was the
5Oth Anniversary since the
publication in Vienna of DR..
Theodor Herbs "The Jewish
State the book that laid the
foundation of modern Zionism
and ushered in a new epoch
in Jewish history.
DR.. Herzl began writing his
monumental work 'The Jew
ish State late in the summer
OF 1895 in Paris, where he
served as correspondent of
the leading Vienna newspaper
the "Neue Freie Presse." It
was inspired by the emotions
and reflections aroused in
him by the Dreyfus trial
which at that time stirred up
the entire civilized world.
Herzl personally witnessed
the attempt made to rob the
Jews of their rights in a coun-
try where a century ago the
French Revolution had given
the Jews civil equality as
part of the program of Glib
erty, equality and fraternity"
Herzl who himself was
brought up in an environment
distant from Jewish life real
lied that the only solution of
the Jewish problem is the es-
Enlistment of Palestine as a
Jewish state.
We publish on page II some
of the prophetic passages in
Herbs Jewish State" which
retain an immortal freshness
despite the fact that they
were written half a century
ago.
Copies of ''The Jewish
State" may be purchased

cation of America, 1920 10th

INCOME TAX RRETURNs

Joseph l.. Numa,n Jr., Commission
er of Tnternal Revenue, and George
Hofferl ert, Collector OF Internal Rev.
enue, rrge taxpayers to fill out their
own income tax returns and to do it
early TO avoid the last minute rush
on March Is.
Collector Hofferbert said he Joined
in TIE advice contained in a letter adj
dressed by Commissioner Nunan to
taxpayers, through the Collectors
flee and the press. The Commission
ors letter follows:
Dear Fellow-Taxpayer:
l am impelled to write to you
about your 1945 income tax return
which is due now and must be filed
not later than March 18th.
However, the main subject of my
letter is not merely to remind you
that you must file, although that is
important AS you should know the
law requires a return from everyone
WHO had $500 or more income last
year.
The main thing | want to discuss
with you is how to go about filling in
your return. urge you, with the
deepest sincerity and good will. to try
to fill on your return by yourself.
You should have no difficulty if you
read the forms and accompanying in
structions.
In urging you to fill out your own
return as far as possible, l wish to
remind you that the tax blanks have
been vastly simplified since 1914.
My earnest advice is THAT you
tackle your own tax return as soon
as possible and by yourself. In at
least cases out of 10, l am sure
that you will need no assistance if
you follow the simple directions on
the form. However, if then you have
| questions or need advice, the local
Office of the collector of interanl rev.
enre will try it's best to furnish you
IirompG, courteous and efficient SER
vice free of charge.
Sincerely yours,

A STUNNING IDEA

Senator Tydings, conservative Dem
ocrat from Maryland, steps out in
front of the "madding crowd" and
asks President Truman to summon a
world disarmament conference, to
outlaw maintenance of land, sea and
air forces by all Nations after Janu-
airy l, 1850 1.-The time has come for
a showdown" Senator Tydings told
the Senate, and continued: IF we
are going to support the United Ma
lions Organization, then all nations
should be willing to disarm. If we are
not, the United Nations Charter
won't be worth the paper it is writ
ten on" The Maryland statesman adj
vocated complete disarmament, ex-
cept for continued occupying forces
in Germany and Japan, and a World
police force under the UN Security
Council, with limited small arms to
preserve law and order and enforce
disarmament conditions.

THIS WAR NEVER ENDS

THE end of the war in Europe and
Asia does not mean TIE end of the
war which farmers have to wage"
says P. v. Carbon in his current re-
port as Administrator of Agricultural
Research in the U. S. Department of
Agriculture "They must combat
pests and diseases of crops and live
stock, unfavorable weather condi-
tions, poor soils, and other enemies
of efficient production. Science fur
nishes the weapons to carry on this
warfare.
"In the years ahead there will be
, greater need than ever before for the
full use of agricultural science. One
Of the most difficult jobs ever faced
by American farmers will be that of
readjussting production to fit peace
time needs. This will be especially
true in areas where large acreage
has been devoted to war crops.
There are, of course, important
economic and social aspects in this
job. Much depends upon the free in
terehange of agricultural commodi-
ties among the nations of the world.
High purchasing power in our cities
is necessary if farmers are to con-
tinuIe fLIl-scale production. Aside
from these important considerations,
farmers will be more and more de-
pendent upon research that will cut
production cost still further, make
production more certain, and find
new uses for farm products.
Experience in recent years sheds
light on this point. The remarkable
accomplishment of United States
farmers in increasing food produce
ton by a third during the war, with
less labor and equipment, has been
commented on many times. Favor
able weather played large part;
long hours of hard work by farm
families were equally important;
support prices helped greatly. But
this is not the whole story. Better
plants and animals, better control of
pests and diseases, better UNDER
standing of soil management and use
of fertilizers-in short application of
science to farming completes the an
swer."
