NEW MEL0DRAMA FEATURE NOW AT
 CAPITOL THEATRE

Dan Duryea isn't exactly cop in Black Angel which is at the Capitol Theatre, even though he does a bit of sleuthing, but he turns in one Of the most arrest ing performance seen on the screen this season.
 Under his new deal with Univer- sal, Duryea is given chance to be a heavy with a heart and he delivers in his first starring role. The picture, based on story ty Cornell Woolrich, has a surprise ending that probably has o. Henry striving for a rebuttal. It also boasts one of the loveliest act resses on the screen today in June Vincent and certainly does not suffer from the presence of Peter Lorre as the third star in the cast.
 It would be unfair to prospective theatre-goerS to reveal the story. All that can be said is that they should be on hand at the begin- ming, for the plot motivation starts immediately and moves with the speed of a P-38 and explodes Tn the climax with the detonation of an atom bomb.

 Two years after victory" said the New Times in a leading edi- torial, the mouthpieces of in- ternational reaction are raging once more. The mongers of new war, as Henry Wallace put it, keep the kettle of hostility towards the Soviet Union at boiling point.
 The imperialistic circles of the Anglo Saxon countries are build- ing bigger plans for their expan- sion, plans of economic and poli- tical enslavement of foreign peo- ples."

FIGHT0vER LABOR BILL
 IN SENATE
Injunction Question Under Debate- Stiff Amend
 ments Added

WASHINGTON, May 9.-tR- Senator Ball (R-Minn) waged a last-ditch fight today to block jurisdictional strikes by private employer injunctions, while Sena- tor Taft (R-Ohio) threw his sup port behind milder measure.
 The Senate, in its eleventh day of debate on labor disputes legisla- tion, agreed to start voting on the injunction issue this after noon
 It called up for action first an amendment by Taft, which simply would permit private employers to sue unions for damages resulting from jurisdictional strikes or sec ondary boycotts.
 Taft's pending proposal is the last of four he set out to add to the big catch-all bill designed to curb strikes and restrict union practices. The Senate wrote in No. yesterday, voting 48 to 40 to outlaw union controlled health and welfare funds.
 Taft won, 60 to 28, on an earlier decision to prohibit union coercion of workers, but he lost, A to 43, on move to curb industry wide bargaining.
 The Senate rejected late today a proposal by Senator Ball tR-Minnl to permit individual employers to seek injunctions against jurisdic- tional strikes and secondary boy colts.
 The vote was 62-28.
 Defeat of the Ball amendment to pending labor legislation opened the way for action on substitute proposal by Senator Taft tR-Ohio). .
 Taft proposes that employees be authorized to sue for damages in such cases but would not permit injunctions to be sought by pri- vate individuals.
 The Senate also voted to let em- ployers sue unions for damages re- sulting from jurisdictional strikes and secondary boycotts. The vote was 65 to 26.

The W ashing ion Merry -Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON For about ter years, Raymond Patenotre, million aire grandson of James Elverson late owner of the Philadelphia h. quirer, has been a voluntary exile from the United States. During af least half of that time the U. s Government has been itching to get it's hands on him in connection with an $8.OO0,000 tax fraud.
 Now. very quietly, Raymond Pa tenotre has come back to the USA He slipped in by way of Latin Am erica and has been trying to pry loose $3,O00,00O of his money which the Government has frozen in the vaults of J. F. Morgan.
 All this has aroused one of the hottest backstage lobbying battles of recent years. 2.
 Despite the fact that the Pa tenotre family is charged with fraud, and despite the fact that the Treasury Department had recom- mended Patenotre to the Justice Department for criminal prosecu- tion, even while in exile, certain big-shot lobbyists are now pulling wires to let the family. off.
 Most interesting thing about the case is the lawyer -tax-lobbyist who is going to bat for the Patenotres He is Ellsworth Alvord, who work ed in the Treasury Department un- der Andy Mellon. and has been successfully practicing tax law anc entertaining Senators ever since.
 Government records show that Alvord has been cited by the Trea- sury for preparing and swearing tc a false and fraudulent document in connection with the Patenotre income tax Ordinarily when al attorney prerares fraudulent doc ument, he is prosecuted for fraud along with his client. However, fol
