Word has been received from Mrs. Jennie Myers that the condi- tion of Mrs. Edith Walker, who was in a train accident in early Sep tember, is still serious, and it will be some time before she is out of the hospital but she wishes to con- vey to her many friends in Ju- neau and Channel area her good wishes for the year and hopes she will be able to return here by fall.

 Arnold, who will oppose him, comes from an old Wyoming fam fly, once served as Mayor of Lara mic, had a sensational career in charge of the Antitrust Division and as Judge of the U. s. Court of Appeals. His economic theories are the exact opposite of Robert sons. It will be interesting to see which one Wyoming voters pick to represent them in the Senate.

HOW THE ARMY LoBBIED

This showed that the Army had spent $36,293 to produce military training propaganda film, plus Sl4,244 of the taxpayers money to distribute the film. Also, the War Department had paid two civilians-Alan Coutts of New York City and Mrs. Arthur Woods, a former lieutenant colonel with fine record in the WAC-$25 day, plus expenses, to tour the country. drumming up public sup port for peacetime conscription.
 The report also quoted former Assistant Secretary of War How ard c. Petersen as admitting that Mrs. Woods and Mir. Coutts were employed ito sell the (UMT) pro- gram to the public with the hope that the public would sell it to the Congress"
 Mrs. Woods admitted that she laid particular emphasis upon the spiritual values of universal mili- 
 tary training in her discussions with girl scout groups" the Har- ness reported stated, adding that she had endeavored to interest the Ma tional Board of Girl Scouts Of America in showing "a plan for peace" at their meetings.
 Harness also quoted the follow ing paragraph from an Army prepared outline for veterans ra- dio panels: The opposition to universal military training is gen. orally not based on fact, but rath- CT on such generalities as demo- cracy, aggression, education, and pacifism. The chief opponents are parents, church groups, educators, subversive groups, and large sec tion of the public which does not think"
 In other words, the Army was trying to tell veterans what they should say in radio broadcasts sup posed to be voluntary efforts of the veterans themselves.
 The Harness report further charged. that numerous people "of all walks of life" had been flown in military planes at the taxpayers expense to the Army's UNIT experi- mental camp at Fort Knox, Ky, where they were conducted on tours of the unit by selected guid- es, who were able to sell the vir- tues of the plan under considera- tion."

Engineers "Shoof" Chickens
At Airplune Windshields

WASHINGTON. - Jet-propelled
chickens are being used by the Civil
Aeronautics administration in ex-
periments to develop airplanes
which can collide with a bird with
put suffering serious damage, CAA
officials revealed.
CAA engineers have developed an
air gun which Shoots chickens at
aircraft windshields, landing lights,
and other vital exposed parts.
The tests seek to develop wind
shields and landing light lenses
which will not break when a duck
or a gull strikes a plane in flight.
The CAA has completed a survey
which shows that the scheduled air
liners on a ye%ar-around average
can be expected to collide in flight
with about eight birds a week.
However, S e v e r a | unexplained
fatal crashes involving commercial
aircraft have occurred in which this
cause was suspected. Numerous
records of fatalities and aircraft
crashes exist in military aircraft OPP
erations.
The tests with the jet-propelled
chickens are being financed by the
aircraft manufacturers, according to
the CAA. The chickens are electro
cuted," put in a flimsy bag, loaded
in the air gun, and fired at the
airplane at flying velocities.

Blind Section Hand
Uses Wife's Eyes
To See His Work
Young Woman Begun Working On
The Railroad During the
War Period

KANSAS CITY, MO. - Mary
Alonge, who stands ver five fee
tall in mems work shoes, admits
that her job as a section hand with
her blind husband is the best work
she's ever had.
A broad grin lights up Mary's
round, smudged face as she tells
about her work of cleaning out box
cars at the Rock Island dump yards
here. Shoveling dirt, unloading
whatever debris has accumulated in
the cars, welding a pick in cold
weather to loosen frozen ground, all
are part of an eight hour daily shift
for Mary, who's been employed here
for five years.
Working constantly beside the
young woman is her husband, Joe,
tall, slender and dark, who needs
her with him because of failing eye
sight. Physicians who have exam
ined Joe have given no hope that
his sight will ever be improved.
eff he could see better, he would
be doing something else. Well, we
both work." commented Mary.
Since a railroad yard isn't exactly
the place for frills, this stocky wom-
an wears mems overalls, a leather
jacket and an old wool scarf tied
around her head.
Mary began her job during the
a when all the railroads, desper-
ate for help, first began hiring wom-
en- as laborers. Her husband, who
had been rejected by the army be-
cause of his almost sightless eyes,
was employed at the yard doing
piecework. One day Joe's boss came
around and asked him if his wife
wanted to work.
Mary went down the next day and
"never quit" There were about 40
women in the yards then, cleaning
tracks and doing other labor for
merly done by men. Most would
quit or lay off when cold weather
came along. Today, only one other
feminine worker, a switch oiler, is
still there.
Mary and Joe each arm "a cents
an hour, which brings their weeks
income to S90.24. And they r saw
ing as much as they are able-what
with doctors bills and increased
prices-so they can buy a little
house. They have long dreamed
of it.

S~tupendous Pains
Give Hollywood
Colossal Headache
Scren Actors Guild Estimates
That Half Of 5000 Members
Are Unemployed

HOLLYWOOD, CALIF.-Beset by
dwindling foreign markets, declin-
ing receipts at home box offices and
uncertainty as to how the supreme
court will rule in a federal action
to compel the studios to dispose of
their theater outlets, Hollywood to-
day has something to cry about.
The disclosures of Communist ac-
tivity in Hollywood and the progress
made by television are contribut-
ing to the state of jitters prevalent
throughout the movie industry
from top producers down to janitors.
During the prosperous war years
major studios were averaging so
productions annually. The average
now is between 25 and 80 and many
Did films are being reissued to pad
exhibition schedules.
Employment Way Down
More actors and actresses pro-
portionately are out of work at pres
ent than ever before. The Screen
Actors guild estimates that half
Of its 5000 members are without
employment, the chief sufferers be-
ing free lance and bit players. Some
Of the biggest stars who demanded
$3.50, 900 or 5000, 900 for one film
and only worked in a few each year
because of heavy income taXes-are
now reported lowering their asking
prices considerably.
Employment of technicians, part
and full time, is off 80 per cent from
a peak of $4,000.
Studio ledgers we're deep in black
figures for 1947, the 125 million dol
lar net profit being one of the big
gest ever recorded in one year. And
favorable dividends on film shares
thus far in 1913 are a reflection of
l947's earnings. But these current
dividends are illusory as far as the
current state of the industry is con-
cerned, and a sharp drop in 1948
profit figures seems inevitable. The
effect of the loss of the British and
other European markets will not be
shown until this years bookkeeping
IS completed.
Europe Shows Hostility
The major studios have usually
counted on breaking even by their
film showings in the United States
and reaping most of their profits
from exhibitions abroad.
But when the British insisted on
a rs per cent tax on profits of Amer
lean movies shown in England-a
virtually c~onfiscatory levy-Holly-
wood decided to ship no more films
to that country. Continental coun-
tries, such as France and Belgium,
have also shown hostility toward
American pictures, amounting in
some instances to boycotts. And
most of the market in Russia's vas
sal states has been lost, those
Soviet satellites specifically banning
films featuring certain stars because
those stars are u~nfriendly toward
the Communist party line.
The movie theater box office take
off between Is and rs per cent in
this country as compared to a year
ago.
