HIGH BARBAREE,' !SFEkTURE BILL AT
 CAPITOL THEATRE

Van Johnson at the controls of bullet-riddled Navy plane which is plunging to almost certain de- Istruction in the South Pacificl
 That's the pitched op- ening scene of High Barbaree,' ad- venture-romanoe co-starring Van and June Allyson on the screen at the Capitol Theatre starting Sunday.
 The adventure packed yarn is from the pens of Charles Nordhoff and James Norman Hall, who wrote the memorable Academy Award win ner, "Mutiny on the Bounty" which proved one of Clark Gables greatest hits.
 In the new picture, Johnson DOT : trays the pilot of a PBY Catalina which has attacked and sunk an en- emy submarine while on a routine patrol mission But in the fierce encounter with the sub, the huge flying boat has been mortally wounded. One engine afire, radio gone, co-pilot killed, there IS noth- ing to do but try to set the ship down on the submarine-infested Pa cific.
 Johnson pulls the flaming plane out of a tailspin and. against all most superhuman odds lands right side up on top of the water.
 After making the landing, he dis covers every member of the crew has been killed, except the navigator, played by Cameron Mitchell. There is enough water to last week, with careful rationing, and enough food for several days. Pilot and navigator then begin the long wait for rescue Ii and when it comes.

BY S. [.

A touch of dancing, pinch of
baseball and basketball, a generous
amount of queen contest campaign
ing, a portion of Bazaar and Fiesta
mixed thoroughly will give you
birds eye view of the SaIade de
Saison on the Filipino Catholic
Youths menu for 1913.
We wish to extend our sincere
thanks to all those who patronized
the F. C. US International Dance
recently at the Washington Hall.
We would also like to thank those
persons who were so generous with
words on how much better the
dance may have been It's a
pity they couldn't possibly come in,
via the paying entrance.
The F. c. Y. has nominated
pretty, coy AdeIia Pagarin as its
candidate in the Community Queen
Contest this year. AdeIa is attend
ing Garfield High School. She is
comparatively newcomer in our
community but due to a fine per-
sonality and her Pepsodent smile,
she has made many new friends.
Besides Adelia, there are Ra-
mona Del Fierro and Dorothy
Laigo, also running for queen. Ellen
Robertson, another candidate, is
thinking of joining the Filipino
Catholic Youth.
The F. C. Y. has just completed
its basketball schedule. r. cantil
was captain, aptIy aided by c.
caasi, B. Mamon, j. Beltran, 3.
Cantil and A. Mendoza. The girls
of the F. C. Y. are planning to
form a softbal squad. This I've got
to see.
There has been much talk about
the club presenting its Fiesta"
an entertainment composed of
Spanish music and dances, but due
to conflicting occasions, it will
be shown early next Fall. Besides
this, the club hopes to sponsor
bazaar towards the end of summer.
II we will still be feeling as ener-
getie as these phrases would indi-
cate, all this will be something to
see.
It's better late than never, and
so the entire club offers it's con-
oratuIations to sonny" Jiminez
and his lovely, young bride. Also,
congratulations to Jimmy Filarca
of o'Dea High School who is gradu-
ating from that school at the end
of this month, and Beverly corpuz
who is graduating from Garfield
High School.

 Mir. Thomas J. Moore
 Carter: We have heard nothing further regarding the charges you filed. Have you heard anything?
 Card: No The regional director says he has not forwarded his recommendations to Washington yet.
 Carter: There is one point we want clarified here; that is, your manner of loading company barges. Is that continuous or intermittent?
 Card: Both. We have an order for 100000 feet that is divided into 16 lots on that order. Each load is kept separate and identified by dif- ferent bands. This is inspected and tailed The inspetcor's certificate is like a check and you can take it to the bank and cash it. The lum- Der comes from the sawmill and has to be sorted and put into the diff ferent lots. There will be 2500 feet in each package which is banded and then assembled and each lot placed by itself The same men who band and package it, load it. When 2 or 3 lots are assembled they are loaded Then the men come back and sort and package again, so it is intermittent.
 Ninnis: Could the sawmill operate and work with longshoremen?
 Card: don't know how you mean that?
 Ninnis: Could the sawmill make a profit with the longshoremen loading?
 Card: have not gone into that They say that they don't want any, thing beyond the bull rail. Are they going to be standing around wait ing for load and getting paid? Or are they going home to wait until they are called back?

members Who can urlIt elSeWnere and find other work Carter: Is there anything further? Guy: Why is this company-this company is trying to break those of , us who were here in this town for years and years. Carter: The only answer is that the company has contract with the woodworkers and they will not enter into any other contract un- less they have instructions from the NLRB. to do so.
 Guy. The sawmill workers know that it is not their work.
 Wukich. This committee-is it going to try to arrange meeting?
 Carter: No; the mayor has only i asked us to find out the facts. Albright; No. it is not within the jurisdiction of the committee to bring the employer to meet us.
 Guy. If they claim that they need storage space they could put a ship alongside to take it all.
 Moore: How much could be load cd on such a ship? l Guy: Six or seven thousand feet in a few hours.
 Moore: Is there room on the dock for days cut?
 Guy: For six or seven days cut. Albright. The difference in pric, between shipping by barge ant steamship is as follows. From Ret chikan by barge $900 per thousand or by ship $500 per thousand anS insurance. It is safer by ship The, consider that they do not have tn, dock space to store. That all of tn, cut cannot be loaded as only tn, orders should be loaded. A goot lumber gang will handle 100,00l feet in ten hours With the nev gear up to 25,00O feet per hour. Hendrickson: They claim the con tract they have with the NV A covc.s this work. Alcright: MT Fading, Presiden of the IVA, says the contract doe, net cover this work.
 Moore. The IVA. has lost theil right to protest by publishing tha this is not their work and also b, respecting the picket line. Hendrickson: How do you suppl, men?
 I Albright: We have regular shir gangs. We get together with tn, company and figure out how man, men are needed, that constitutes : gang. This works out through , mutual agreement with the com pany.
 Ninnis: What is a gang? : Albright. Ten men on a ship fo general cargo. For barge lumbe on a scow it differs to meet condi. tions. The company and the uniol meet and mutually agree on th, required number of men for the job
 Ninnis: All your contracts now II force have this arrangement? Wha is the minimum number of men?
 Albright: All the men requested i by the employer. Tn Ketchikan the agent for the ship says we want 3( men.
 Ninnis What is the minimum number? Like for the Estebeth?
 Albright: Even one man.
 Wukich: Usually on the Estebeth we get two men.
 Garter: Any more questions?
