 AT 10TH CENTURY

A smoldering hatred that bears up and then explodes into mur- der mystery during an African big game hunt is the exciting theme of I"The Macomber Affair" W hi c h opened last night at the 20th Gen. tury Theatre.
 This unusual drama, which brings together Gregory Peck, Joan Ben nett and Robert Preston in the leading roles, was adapted to the screen from one of Ernest Hem ingway's most notable short-stories, The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber."

DRESS REHEAR5Al
 FOR THE WINDOW
 I5 HELD LAST NIGHT

"The Window a prize winning play that has won acclaim wherever shown, had it's dress rehearsal last night in the Grade School Auditor ium. According to the few specta- tors, the play is a drama destined to grip the audience.
 The leading characters, Edith Shrenk, Helen Schaafer, Richard Peter, Lowell Gibson and Harry De- Land. all interpret their lines with an artistry that stirs the emotions. However, this quality is not con- fined to the leads as every character in the cast gives splendid perform ance. Rollin Emel as the minister, Harriett Smith and Rose Olive King as the unhappy daughters in the household; and Lane Rolf as the abandoned wife; all give fine char acterizations. Last but not least are Elnora Baker and Gladys Knight, who as the gossiping neighsors, add the sprightly humor that is needed to illumine the sombre background.
 The play will be given Friday and Saturday evenings, this week, in the Grade School Auditorium. Tickets are on sale at the Baranof Book Store, the Baranof Hotel and the Douglas Drug Store. The curtain will rise promptly at 8:30 pm

 FINAL ACT
EIissa Landi, Blonde Beau fly of Stage and Screen,
 Dies Suddenly

l KINGSTON, N. T., Oct. 2l-LR- Elissa Landi, Italian-bor actress and novelist, died of cancer today at the age of 43.
 Miss Landi, reportedly the grand- daughter of Empress Elizabeth of Austria, died in Kingston hospital, where ste had been a patient for the past 10 days. Her illness pre- viously had been described by her physician only as chronic condi- tion."
 Dr. Kenneth LeFever, who an. nounced the cause of death, said the actress never knew she had can cel."
 Her condition, however, had been known to her family for nine months, he said.
 Miss Landi was an artist of mul- tiple facets, equally successful as motion picture and stage star, as a novelist, as linquist, as pianist and as a singer .s.
 Her varied talents, combined with a subtle blonde beauty, won her praise from both dramatic and lit- erary critics of a half dozen na- tons.
 She was born Dec. 6, 1904, in Ven- ice, Italy, the daughtr of Austrian Count and Countess Zanardi-Landi.
 Her stage successes in London and New York quickly brought her to the attention of Hollywood and she made her first American film in the Holl wood production Of Body and Soul" She followed this with leading roles in "The Sign of the Cross 'The Warriors Illus band The Count of Monte Cris- to- and other films.

Democratic National Chairman J. Howard McGrath said, however, that the continuing threat of iso- lationism is the greatest single obstacle to be overcome" in shap- ing U. s. foreign policy.
 Speaking on the same forum with Dewey, the Rhode Island Senator added:
 That we may not have com pletely become converts to inter- national responsibility is the basis of the greatest fears that plague our Democratic friends in Europe"
 McGrath said "a handful of iso- lationists in high places" of the 80th Congress came dangerously close to sabotaging the European recovery effort" .

NEWSP AYERS

When you read your Daily Alaska Empire you little realize the conditions under which it is published Here is an interesting Associated Press dispatch from Pittsburgh which says the next 12 months will be the most crucial in the entire history of the newspaper industry in the opinion of the comptroller of the Wall Street Journal.
 The prediction was made by T. F Movie before the 2Oth mechanical conference of the American Newspaper Publishers Association, in it's second day in Pittsburgh
 thousand men who supervise the printing Of newspapers all the world attending the three day conference hghlghted by of the largest dis plays of printing equipment since the war.
 Movie said 300 daily papers have gone out of bus- ness in the past 10 years Newspapers have always had high costs The average is Sl86 per hour" ;"
 To solve the dilemma he urged greater labor management cooperation There is a serious need for help from unions, the weaker papers will fall like leaves" he said.
 Further insight into the publishing business is the increase the price of newsprint That keeps going up and the supply is still limited.
 In the job printing department, paper stock ha also advanced price and certain grades hard tC get at almost any price.
 Newspaper publishers in Alaska are just as harC pressed those in any city in the States.

More Support Needed for Mining
(Ketchikan NeWs)

With proper support, mining again can become an important industry in Southeast Alaska ketchlKah cot it's main start through prospecting and mining in early days There still many evidences of that activity in abandoned shafts, tunnels and open-cut gouges.
 The hunt then was mostly for gold and silver Little thought was given to the base metals or many of the other rare minerals badly needed TOT the defense or offense of the nations industries.
 Yet there are many traces of these in Southeast Alaska There are known to be immense deposits of lime There is pitchblend from which uranium IS sometimes extracted There marble deposits. And besides base metals there many of the more rare ones.
 different technique is needed today from the nd ready prospecors of early days The form CT. looking mostly for gold silver could, with a frying pan and coffee pot, live oil the country ana endure all kinds of hardships.
 Today a much wider knowledge is required Tor the classification of the many kinds of minerals. And those with that technical education will not rough It the same as the early proSpectorS.
 One good sign is an increasing stall o1 geologSts now working in Alaska These can point out the way for likely mineral deposits but still further step IS necessary More roads and trails are needed Most of the islands are still jungle away from the shore
 lines making prohbitive the cost of finding ana ae- veloping mineral claims. Every encouragement alSc should be given by the government in pointing ou the way for the testing of samples, and the building of roads.
 There is no part of the world where there art preater mineral possibilities than in Alaska ane Canada but to get the needed minerals Will require active and mutual support from both governments

IKE.s PERSONAL VIEWS

However. Eisenhower. himself. did not seem at all sure in his own mind and right up to near the end, he talked with high-up Demo- crats as if he could be drafted. Most significant of these conversa- tions was with William Ritchie, Democratic State Chairman of Ne braska, who took careful notes on his talk with the General. and here $ exactly what he said:
 The gravest issue before the American people and the nation is world leadership for democratic in- stitutions. Ii America does not back firmly, and efficiently the Vandenberg Marshall plan, then the world outside of America will go to dictatorship, with the re- suit that American prosperity, the American way of living and Amer ican liberties will be gravely en- dangered
 lllCdlAl Ntidl Eisenhower continued, when said that I didn't want to be a candidate But I will say this: If | the necessity arises, I will answer any draft to serve the American people along the lines that I have just discussed-even if it requires me to carry a gun in the rear ranks.
 'I will not let down the boys who fought under me in Europe and Africa and who made me what I am today. I will never let down the boys who gave their lives for democratic institutions.
 If Vandenberg should be nomi- mated" Eisenhower told Ritchie, T know he will interpret the Repub- lican platform in such a way that America will be safe
 ! After some further conversation Eisenhower concluded:
 If I should be President I want you to understand this: I will be an American President, not a Re- publican or Democrat And would make appointments on the basis of what man stands for and his qualifications for the job. I would pay no attention whatso-

 Conceiv1bly the Russians would offer to Wlth- draw their occupation troops from Austria as an inducement for the other powers to move their own personnel out of the Berlin area of Germany-but right away, not when they get ready to-.
 It is the time element which probably is more important to the Russians than realize. So long as the forces of the democratic West are able to operate in the vicinity of Berlin, they interfere with Soviet plans for complete unifcation of what the Russians have come to regard their half of Ger many Possibly, therefore, they may be willing to sacrifice holdings in Austria where their occupa- tion has net been too successful Possibly we repeat

WHY EISENHOWER WITHDREW

A battle -toughened soldier like General Eisenhower doesn't often cry. But when, in George Aliens presence, he wrote his historic statement finally taking himself out of the presidential race, real tears swelled in Eisenhower eyes.
 The complete story as to why Eisenhower signed that statement is not yet known. This writer has tried to find out, but is not yet satisfied with the answers.
 The fact that some of the big political bosses, such as ex-Mayor Hague of Jersey City, hopped on the Eisenhower bandWagon unques- tionably had its effect. The Gen. cral thought he was being used for political purposes. Also the fact that the Republicans nominated a good ticket was important.
 Also it is a known fact that some of Ike's own best military friends pleaded with him not to get into politics. As one of his clos est battle comrades told Eisen- hover: Every time one of us
