No NLRB Action

In the meantime, the Juneau Chamber of Commerce received a reply from its telegram to Delegate E. L. Bartlett in Washington, D. c. The Chamber voted Thursday to ask Bartlett to help speed up action from the National Labor Relations Board there.
 Bartlett said today that NLRB Headquarters told him that it knows only that the Juneau Spruce Corpo- ration has filed unfair labor prac- tice charges against the Longshore- men. The NLRB said, however, that it has not received any further ad- vice from it's Regional Director, Thomas P. Graham, in Seattle. who told the company's attorney N. c. Banfield, in a telephone conversa- ton on April 28 that he was for- warding his recommendations to Washington Graham's report was based on an investigation made here by NLRB Examiner Howard E. Hil- bun.
 The Chamber, today, immediately dispatched another telegram to Graham protesting against further delay in this controversy and re- questing immediate action be taken.

AS an antedote for the lacquered'
fiction in which the screen often
deals, it represents another one
of those bargains which Dore
Schary believes the movie public is
entitled to.
Mr.. Schary is no longer with RKO,
which now belongs chiefly to
Howard Hughes, but Rachel and
the Stranger" is the sort of movie
that might well make the studio
regret his leaving. The picture
should show neat profit, more on
its unadorned merits than because
one of its stars, Robert Mitchum. has
been getting his name in the head
sines lately.
It is not a large wilderness that
RKO carved out of one of It's big
sound stages for Howard Fast's
novel, adapted by Waldo Salt. Still
it is adequate to contain the story
of Rachel Loretta Young, the bond
servant who married Big Davey
and who was treated indifferently
by him until the singing stranger
came into their lives. The latter,
played by MItchum, is the roguish
troubador type whose ma am" to
frontier woman means more than
the surface politeness it implied.
Rachel and the Stranger" is not
one of those pictures in which a
great deal happens. It's leisurely in
terest is principally the character
of it's people. In the course OF
80 minutes, it lets the audience
into a lot of odd corners of their
lives. Some of these are small, but
nonetheless pleasant, such as the
fact that they never think, but
reckon" and that they never waste
time saying shut up when shut
covers the same ground more
abruptly.

Ingrid or her hackers can make a
cent for themselves, the movie has
to clear $10,OO0,000 to pay off the

by Fast, is the principal figure In
Keith's screenplay. Recently wild
owed, handsome high-minded Big
Davey Harvey takes her as his wife
merely for the sake of appearances
when he buys her for s22. AS slaves
go, she is beautiful wise and sensi-
tive but these assets in no way alter
her status in the Harvey wilder
ness cabin. Both Big Davey and
his son are in love with the wom-
an they buried a short time before
on a hill above the crude abode.
Rachel joins them merely to perform
the womanly chores around the
place, the milking, the cooking, the
od-carrying and the like.
Except for the flash of decency
in which +. gives her the cabin
bedroom, BE- Davey treats her as
the bond servant she is.
This is the way it has been for
months until the stranger, Mitch
um, comes along. He is man
with q guitar and the songs that
90 with it, and his eye for a pretty
woman is all that is needed to start
revolution in the emotional lives
of the Harveys.
1t is only on the surface OF the
story that the materials of Rachel
and the Stranger" are harsh and
grating. In general, the theme is
treated with an Infectious light
heartedness, wholesome sort OF
amusement that disarms the spec
tator.
Miss Young and William Holden
as the lonely pioneer pair know
there is something amusing about
the spectacle of two attractive
people living aloofly under their
circumstances. They make the most
of it, not enough perhaps to keep
Rachel and the Stranger" always
interesting, but still enough to re-
deem it from anything like dullness.
The Northwest Territory setting
of the screenplay must have
tempted the producers strongly to
let go on a few violent forays be-
tween the settlers and the irate
Shawnee Indians. In the main, how
ever, the Shawnees are utilized for
the suspense inherent in the notion
that they might come at any time.
Otherwise, they are saved for a
climax battle in which Rachel makes
it clear that the man who married
her has been quite fool ever since
the day of their strange wedding.

Verbal Battle On Alaska Rages In Seattle C.. of C..

SEATTLE, (P) - Verbal fire works greeted the controversial is sue of Seattle's virtual monopoly of Alaskan trade when the subject was discussed at Seattle cham Der of commerce session Friday.
 Richard L. Neuberger, Portland magazine writer, told the meeting that both Seattle and Alaska would benefit if the Territory was served by many ports.
 Seattle would be better off with large hunk of large Alas kan trade, instead of monopoliz- ing the relatively small $150,0OO,- 900 trade it controls now," he said.
 His statement brought spirited rebuttal from an Alaska editor and an official of an Alaska ship ping line.
 William R. Carter, editor of the Alaska Daily Empire at Juneau, said that Seattle and Alaska are linked together by firm bond of many years. No other city has ever taken such a warm interest in us, and Alaskans know it."
 Admiral F. A. Zeusler, assistant to the president of the Alaska Steamship Co.,, declared no other city but Seattle ever has been in- terested in giving Alaska the service it receives.
 During the discussion an uni identified Alaskan jumped to his feet and termed the chambers trustees "a bunch of shoe clerks"
 To this L. A. Dinty) Moore, an official of the Alaska Railroad, re- piled:
 "It's too bad Alaska doesn't have more shoe clerks like the Seattle chamber helping them the way in which the Seattle chamber has,"
 The pyrotechnics subsided soon afterward.

Taft Says Dems. Keep Prices High

WASHINGTON, (R) - Senator Taft R.-OhiO accused the Demo- cratic administration Saturday of a deliberate attempt to keep prices high for political reasons.
 The idea, he said, is to Create an air of false prosperity for the Presidential election campaign.
 Taft told a reporter he can put no other interpretation on the ad- vance announcement of secretary of agriculture Anderson that the government plans soon to buy 50,- 0O0,O0O bushels of wheat.
 Anderson disclosed this at a news conference Thursday after corn and wheat had dropped the legal limit of 8 and 10 cents a bushel for two days in a row.
 Usually the governments buy ing intentions are kept secret.
 The announcement by Anderson was followed by a brief rise in wheat. But Fridays market closed with the legal limit drop for the third consecutive time.
