CLERK OF COURT CANNOT DECIDE
 ELECTION LAWS

Arguments were begun and briefs presented in U. S. District Court this afternoon by Albert White and Ralph J. Rivers, Territorial Attorney General, over the de- claration of party utilization in the Territorial primary elections under the new blanket primary election laws
 Judge George w. Folta ruled that the present action, no matter what decision was made, would not be binding on the Clerks of the Courts in the Territory's four Judicial Di- visions because they have no au- thority to interpret the law. Their authority, he said, is limited to the distribution of supplies in elections. He directed both counsels to present further briefs to prove that such a decision would be ef- feetive and binding.
 White, general counsel for the Alaska Republican Party, pointed cut that no harm is done to the voters by insisting that they de- clare their party utilization. He stated that the section of the old election law under question, was not amended by the Territorial Legislature when it wrote the blanket primary statute although other portions were altered
 White argued that it is up to the Legislature to change the law if it so desires.
 Rivers stated that the blanket primary law establishes an elim- ination election and does away with the party primaries. He used the State of Washington primary election law as an example. He argued that it was the intention Of the Legislature and the people to set up a similar statute
 Spectators at the hearing includ- ed the Governor, Secretary of Lew M. Williams and many other interested persons.

WHO SELECTS YOUR CANDIDATES

When man offers himself for the legislature the first time you may take his word fer it If sup ported by the opinion of those you trust. But when he has served one term or more, you must judge him by his record. That is to say, opinions for or against him are worth nothing unless coupled with the record.
 On that basis, I invite an exami- nation of the record I made ill the 1925 and 1927 legislatures. The improvements in the Workmen's Compensation Act on my motion are numerous and notable. Our failures were due to our minority position In that session, I made it easy for you to appeal from commissioners courts, which is a greater blessing than many of you think.
 While we made progress, when you remember that the issues of 1921 are still unsolved in spite of the overwhelming control which the Democrats had for fourteen years, your conclusion must be- the leadership must have been in adequate. It is not enough for your legislators to be progress sive," they must also have the "know-how. When you send men who cannot write their own bills or memorials, what can you ex- pect?
 Who wrote the Hope" Memorial that caused Sec. Krug to introduce the fifteen year trap lease bill? Why did the Democrats decline to propose fish trap regulations as requested by Sec Krug? Why are some labor unions against the Krug trap bill and also favor Governor Gruening who is supporting it?

The most exciting young dramatist
of the American theater, Tennessee
Williams, has composed another
walloping feminine figure to follow
the neurotic fireworks of his last
successful heroine, the twisted young
elegance of "A Streetcar Named De-

The new Williams play, Summer
and Smoke which opened Wednes-
day night at the Music BOX Theater,
contains typical William char
acter, full of bitter sympathy. emo
tional upheaval and dramatic tur-

Not all of the play is as thorough

ated for Margaret Phillips to por-
tray in magnificent style. Some of
the characters could stand more cir
cumspect pruning and one or two
of the overly upholstered roles could
have been ignored almost entirely.
But the tension accomplished even
with the interference of some of his
own characters proves again the su-
periority of the Williams pen.

4Ao1I w SSD'
It's curious paradox in movie
land that most of the great stars,
thoroughly photographed though
they are, don't like to have their
pictures taken. Some resent it bit
terly, in fact. They'll learn lines and
act out their parts before the motion
picture camera. but when the pub
licity boys beckon them toward the
studio portrait gallery they have a
hundred excuses for running the
other way.
These same actors, oddly. usually
are very press conscious. too. They
will hang around the publicity Offices
during of hours, sponsor fan clubs
and even spend as much as $500 a
week from their own salaries to
augment studio publicity with spe-
cial efforts on the part Of inde-
pendent f1acks.
Yet, try getting one Of these stars
to pose for gallery stills which. after
all, are essential to ballyhooing
them in the magazines. newspapers
and in theater lobby displays, and

Tracy Among Dodgers.
Fan readers of various publica-
tions often comment, That's an
awfully old picture of Spencer
Tracy" or Why do they print such
terrible photos of Clark Gable?"-
but there's no one to blame but the
subjects themselves.
Tracy and Gable are notorious for
their successful dodging of the still
gallery. So are William Powell
Wallace Beery and even Van john
son, to name a handful. All are
show-wise enough to realize that
stills are necessary for a good pub
licity campaign, but somehow they
resent taking of an hour or so to
sit and watch the birdie.
Male stars are not the only Offend
ers. Ginger Rogers. Laraine Day,
Olivia De Havilland Bette Davis
and Claudette Colbert have annoyed
their studio publicists for years on
this score.
If the lady stars do finally agree
to pose, it becomes a rare and
memorable event entailing no end of
advance preparation-winding up
usually by the carting of camera
apparatus in ton lots to the stars
home. There the job can be done
at her convenience and leisure.
Such missions require a full days

makeup experts and a flock of
