Characteristics Of the
MOTION PICTURE INDUSTRY

1t 10 surprising how few people seem to have
any real understanding of how the motion
picture industry operates as business.
Few seem to realize that beneath tie indus
try's Hollywood glamour there is . great
basic stability.
The industry has an established marke, of
over O,OOO, 900 paying customers a week in
this country alone and upwards of2O0, 100000
4 week throughout the world.
1t il q strictly cash business Of the
largest cash businesses in the world.
1t had 4 cash income of over 81 ,5OO,0O0,-
900 in this country alone last year. World
revenues were over $4,000, 100000.
1t Is one of Americas great export indus
tries. 1t is one of the few American industries
whose product sells in every country in the
world.
1t is the No. l salesman of American goods
throughout the world.
his relatively young industry. 1t has init.
ative and is aggressive.
1t is an industry with tremendous long-term
growth prospects.
1t is one of the last industries to feel the
effects of depression. During hard times,
going to the movies is one of the last things
people care to give up.
When general business starts to pick mp,
the motion picture industry is among the very
first to respond. Few industries enjoy such
high degree of resilieucy.
Although the motion picture industry Is
often thought of as highly speculative, actu.
ally it has as many factors making for basic
stability as any other leading industry, and
more than most.

u devoting it's creative and technical re-
sources to the production Of pictures OF
outstanding distinction. The production OF
so-called ''B'' pictures, Westerns and serials
has been eliminated
1t is our belief that the trend among the mill
lions of moviegoers both in America and in coun-
tries overseas is toward increasing seectivity IN
their choice of screen entertainment.
Implementing this new production policy.
Universal Pictures has acquired the entire assets
of International Pictures Cor
poration, and the production XAMs%A
organizations of the two COM S13ee11
panies have been merged. This International
combination of creative and
technical talent, story proper
ties and star contracts gives Universal one of the
strongest production organizations in the motion
picture industry.
William Coetz and Leo Spitz, outstanding
producers who headed International Pictures,
have been placed in full charge of Universal's
production activities at the studio. The COM
pany's productions now carry the trade mark OF
Universal international Pictures.
In addition to Is pictures of distinction being
produced at its own studio, Universal Pictures
has arranged for the exclusive distribution in this
country and in Central and South America of
British pictures produced by the J. Arthur Rank
Organization, with the exception of to be han.
died by another company and to be distributed
annually by Eagle-Lion.

Power Development Could Be Carried Out Under
 Reclamation Aet
By VERN HAUGLAND

f WASHINGTON, Feb. 22-R-The Reclamation Bureau can help to stabilize Alaska's economy--partic- 'ularly in regard to hydroelectric ipower-if Congress will let it, says Undersecretary of the Interior, Os- ear l.. Chapman.
 Chapman, acting for Secretary Krug, who is on an air tour of the Pacific, submitted to Congress the draft of bill which would extend the Reclamation Act to Alaska. Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.
 Only the IT western states now participate in the irrigation and power benefits of the Reclamation Bureau through interest-free loans for construction of dams, reservoirs canals and power plants.
 Chapman, in a letter accompany ing the draft, said Alaska long has been interested in obtaining re- clamation benefits for the develop ment of power sites.
 Impetus would have tesn given to settlement of Alaska by the wise development of irrigation and incidental power projects Chap man said.
 "In Alaska there are various areas which from time to time have been developed for agricultural pursuits The Matanuska area, which after land unsuccessful start is becoming an eminently worthwhile under taking. is an example of the kind of colonization which might be en- couraged in the Territory
 In connection with agricultural and colonization programs, ano perhaps even more important tc the development of Alaska because of it's potentialities of bringing in- dustry to the Territory, is hydro electric power

EMERGENCY CLAUSE I5 KNOCKED OFF A.G.
 MEASURE BY SENATE

Committee Substitute for Senate Bill 1-the Administrator General bill--was first and last on the Alaska Senates slate yesterday Thought disposed of when it was passed at the morning meeting; the bill popped up again for a recon
 sideration vote late in the after noon. It was again passed by the Senate-but was stripped of the emergency clause.
 The reconsideration resulted in a score for a legislative tyro over the Senate's most experienced heads Midway in the afternoon session, Anchorages new Senator Gunnard Engebreth gave notice that he intended to ask reconsideration of his vote on the emergency clause only Attempts to show such a move out of order resulted in Engebreth's changing his notice to include vote on bill and all.
 Instead of letting the notice go over until Monday, in regular course, when it would have been doubtful that Engebreth could have carried his motion, Senate veteran N R. Walker rose just before ad- i journment to move reconsideration of the vote immediately No one opposed. Vote on the bill was the same as in the morning-12 to A.
 but vote on the emergency clause saw two change-overs to the nega- tive side: Senators Victor. c. Riv- CTS and Engebreth Reconsidered vote on the emergency clause was 10 to 6. lacking thirds.
 Principal effect of stripping the
 emergency clause is that the Audi
 tor will not be in position to sub init any appointments to the Legis- laturs at the present session; as
 the bill will not now become eff l fective, if passed by the House, un- !, til 90 days after it may be approv-
 ed by the Governor.

Because of lack of road into the Douglas Island Ski area proper, those wishing to view the Slalom races this afternoon will be re- quired to go approximately one mile up the Ski Trail, which leaves the Juneau-Douglas Highway ap- proximately 300 yards from the Is land end of the Juneau-Douglas bridge.
 Sundays jumping events and Che finish of the Downhill races are easily seen, as both jumping hill and finish lines are less than one fourth mile from the road, up the ski trail. The entrance to the trail is plainly marked by a large Forest Service sign. In the past, the fin ish of the downhill events and jumping have commonly been wit messed by some hundreds of cheer ing spectators.
 It is not necessary to be equip ped with skis to climb to the jump ing area, although once off the packed trail, the snow is deep.
