SECRET STORY OF CCNGRE55W0MAN
 BILL AT CAPITOL

The story of the conflict between a boss from the political under world and a beautiful, ambitious Congresswoman whose heart and career are both in his power. MT Ace" bows in at the Capitol Thea tre tonight
 George Raft and Sylvia Sidney stars in the roles of Eddie Ace, the political boss, and Congresswoman Margaret Chase. Jerome CoWan and Sara Haden respectively play her campaign manager and pri- vate secretary.
 The elegant Congresswoman calls on blunt, tough Eddie Ace for support of her nomination as a candidate for the Governorship. Dynamically attracted, they fall in love but Eddie refuses hls very necessary political sup port.
 Congresswoman Chase takes up the challenge in the teeth of al- most certain defeat. By a clever, interruptions maneuver she forces a split in Aces own party, tri- umps magnificently in the game of politics but forfeits her triumph in the game of love. This is the starter of a good story told in MT Ace"

 Destination on the present trip is the area around Telegraph Creek, B. O., where Kennedy hopes to take a Stone Sheep, which will complete his specimens of game animals of the North Ameri- can continent. Headquarters for the party will be at George Balls ranch, out of Telegraph Creek. The hunting party will fly there from Juneau, and will likely return here by air
 John Osborn of Juneau, who guided Kennedy on his successful bear hunt this spring, will ac- COillpdily Ille ACllIlCOyo Oll oiiCAA British Columbia hunt, by special arrangement with Canadian wild life authorities. MT. Kennedy's trother, Lee, and another Tulsarl, A. r. Boswell, were also in the bear hunting party, with Max Dorman, of Funter Bay, as the other guide.
 Boswell and Jim and Lee Ken nedy were much impressed by Southeast Alaskan scenery and game on their spring trip. In ad- dition to bear trophies, they took many color movies and still shots back to Tulsa with them. All went away determined to return with their families, with Jim Ken- nedy being the first to fulfill that promise.
 Weather permitting, MT. and Mrs. Kennedy and Osborn will fly to Telegraph Creek by AGA plane to- morrow or Friday.

ished to the three companies op- erating out of Seattle.
 Briggs said the Commission had referred his request to the Alaska Steamship Company for their ad- vice on the matter. Delegate Bartlett said that after his ex- perience with the Commission he would advise Briggs that he was wasting his time. Other commit- tee members promised to look into the situation.
 Briggs said that so far his op- erations has not been profitable for three reasons:
 CD Because of competition from three Seattle lines subsidized by the Federal government. CD Because of the uncertain labor situation here and in the States.
 (3) Because of the terrific in crease in labor costs both aboard his boat and on the docks and feather bedding tactics by long shoremen.
 Briggs said that the longshore- men use too many men on a truck and too many for tie-up crews in docking.
 1 He pointed out that he has not been able to secure enough ton mage for his operation from Prince Rupert except in the south haul when he carries fish, and blamed this upon the inertia. of Alas kanS" and their reluctance to change buying habits. Many items, he claimed, can be hauled by rail to Prince Rupert from the Gen. tral States and to Alaskan ports cheaper than they can be hauled from Seattle, and some items may be hauled cheaper from Seattle. : He said that he believes he can reduce rates providing he can se- cure enough tonnage because he will be able to make quicker trips land quicker turn -arounds. | Briggs told the Congressmen that Alaska needs more capital | investment if it is to develop. , William Paul, Sr., last witness, was limited to 10 minutes for his presentation of the theory of conservation" by Chairman Craw- ford who said the committee would welcome filing of written brief on the subject, however, and he would give his word that he would read it.
 Paul charged the Fish and Wild life Service with improper en- forcement of regulations and with being controlled by members of the salmon industry, whom he re- ferred to as Judge Arnold s clients" He said that conserva- tion could be best accomplished by aholishing the most efficient gear the fish trap, and gave examples of what he deemed improper op- eration and placement of traps.

(Conttnued from Page One) case of smaller vessels, where sailors work one hatch and no more
 Company officials contend that in many small Alaskan ports there are not enough longshoremen available to work the boats and that they also have a contract with the sailors at present pro viding they have first chance at this job in Alaska, and cannot give way to the longshoremen without violating this contract. However, it is understood that contracts with the SUP will be re- opened for negotiations toward re- newal.
 Rep. Fred Crawford, committee chairman, pointing out that the people of Alaska must bring in by boat all of the goods necessary to sustain life, questioned Bulcke as to whether the union official felt the rights of his union mem bers superseded the rights of the people of Alaska to secure their needed supplies. Bulcke contend ed that there are no shortages and smaller vessels are allowed to con- tinue to operate.
 Crawford then wanted to know if the longshoremen would re- main out on strike if unable to get a contract signed for. the next six months and shortages did oc- cur. Bulcke replied that the ques- tion was hypothetical and refused to answer.
 The union official left for Ketchikan this afternoon, where he will meet with steamship op- orators and Labor Department officials in an attempt to settle that port strike.

DOUGLAS
 NEWS
STOCKHOLDERS MEET

A stockholders meeting of the Douglas Canning Co.,, Inc, was held last night in the City Hall, with a very good representation of stockholders present.
 Mark Jensen, president of the Board of Directors, opened the meeting. He stated that the can nery had operated at loss last year, but was making substan- tial profit this year. The differ ence in the two years operation was not because this was better fishing season, but because the cannery officials had made bet ter contacts with fishermen out side of the immediate area, and because the cannery was success full in its bid for Taku fish, he said. However, he explained, the present cannery foundation is in a bad condition and that either a great deal of money must be expended on the present location or new cannery site hc purchas- ed and new buildings be erected, also at large cost. He told of a possible and available location at Idaho Inlet where a cannery could be erected at minimum cost Cannery Superintendent M. M. Mil Ter stated the advantages of a cannery operation at that site because of the availability of fish and proximity to the fishing grounds. E. P. McCarron was then appointed chairman of the meeting, for the purpose of open discussion by the stockholders present.
 After three hours of discussion in which all present took part, it was decided that because no au- thentic survey had been made on either the cost of repairing the present location, or of erecting and moving to a new location, that must te done immediately before action could be taken On a stand ing vote, the stockholders showed the great majority wanted the cannery to remain in Douglas.
 Financial statements were dis tributed.

VETERANS GUIDE
By MAJOR THOMAS M. NAL

1apsed term" insurance without physical examination? Was the August 1 dateline extended or was it not?"
 He can because it was. The new deadline is Dec. 31, 1947. No physical if you reinstate before then.
 Query from FVD,e Raleigh: Why can't a veteran who is self employed draw the readjuStment allowance for 52 weeks like the veteran who is unemployed? Why the discrimination" There's no discrimination. The self employment allowance is $l00 month and can be drawn for 10 and 2-5 months. The unemploy- ment allowance is $20 week and can be drawn for 52 weeks. They add up to exactly the same thing, S1 1,040.

Where is your discharge? don't righly know why, but from letters coming in it seems that the ex-service world is pretty hap hazard about keeping tabs on its original discharge papers.
 These papers cannot be replaced in their original form. If vet eran loses his discharge he can write the branch of the Service in which ke served and request a certificate in lieu" of the lost dis charge. He'll get one. But it's not quite the same as the little piece of paper most service peo- pie put in so much time to ac- quire.
 A discharge, especially straight honorable discharge, is an impor- tant piece of paper, almost as important at a birth certificate or a certificate of marriage. You should put yours where you can get your hands on it any time you want it.
 You throw it up on the attic and rou ge on a two-Weeks vacation and when you come back you find your mother or your wife has done a little cleaning up and throwing out" Maybe you'll find your dis charge or maybe you won't.
 Here's what to do if you've lost your original walking papers: If ex-Army, write the Adjutant Gen. erals Office, War Department, Washington, 25, D. c.
 If ex-Navy, write the Bureau of Naval Personnel, Navy Department. Washington 25, D. c.
 If ex-Marine or eX-Coast Guard, write the Commandant Marine Corps GOT Coast Guard, Head quarters, Washington 25, D. c.
 Request a certificate in lieu of lost discharge It'll probably turn out that you'll do plenty of search ing in the mail hox before you get it.
 Question from WIG, Lawrence, Mass: I'm married and have one child. I'm training on the job un- der Public Law 16 and have 10 percent disability. I get $125 per month, which includes my pension and my allowance. Recently I got $5 a week raise, but the $125 was not reduced I thought that under those ceilings when a trainee got a raise, his allowance dropped. Do you think I'm getting too much money and will have to repay some of it to the VA?"
 Probably not. Those ceilings do not apply to Public Law l6. The only limitation governing on-the- iob training under that law is this Subsistence allowance plus wages cannot exceed tEc pay of a fully-trained worker. Pension is not included in this deal.
 Query fro mP.L.F.. San Francis co: twill you please tell me how much money veteran can make in full-time job while going to full-time school under the GI Bill and still draw the full subsistence allowance?"
 He can make $110 and still draw the full subsistence. of $65 eff sin ele) and $90 eff he has depen- dent. That's because those same ceilings mentioned in the last question DO apply to all training uncer the CT Bill, both job training and training in schools and colleges If tte veteran makes more than $110 a month the al- lowance will drop corresponding ly.

If we could substitute adequate
purchasing power for full employ
ment", it might be easier to clarity
the relationship between a stable econ
omy and a progressive tax.
But for certain reasons we are not
quite ready for that kind of termin-
ology.
A. The majority of people are not
yet ready for the doctrine that we
can afford" anything in goods and
services that we can produce. That
is that we can afford houses and food
and clothing for all if we have the
material and skill to produce; that
we can afford education and medical
care for all if we have enough intel
ligent people to become teachers, doc
tors and nurses and if we have the
material and skilled people to build
school houses, hospitals and clinics.
B. The majority are not yet fully
aware that mass production is now no
doubt eliminating men faster than new
tasks can be found for them; that one
man and a machine now replaces ten
to twelve workers; that never again
under the present rate of technolog
ical advancement can we hope to find
