panion who chose normandy over
precosity. Strangling an old, un-
suspecting friend is exciting, but
not sufficiently so. They have timed
it exquisitely to bring it of just be-

1t takes Hitchcock but a minute
to set this grisly stage which Is
lighted Immediately thereafter by
brilliant picture window which looks
out on New York's jeweled skyline
at sunset.
The blemish on the perfection OF
the murder is quickly revealed. 1t
lies in the differing degrees Of ego
in the killers, played by Dali and
Granger. The crime is the ex-
hilerating thing Dali expected. 1t
strengthens his superman convlc-
ton. Not so in the case of his COM
panion. The remnant of conscience
in him gives him a severe case OF
the filters which, as the party goes
on. exposes him to the suspicious OF
a former schoolmaster (StewarD
one of the party guests.
AS Hitchcock's cat in the subse-
quent game Of cat-and-mouse,
Stewart is no spotless hero. As the
former teacher of the precocious
killers, it was he who first planted
in their minds the amoral fancies
which became the motive OF their
crime. He is in a sense guilty with
them, but he also is ideally equipped
for the attendant duel of wits
which will expose the pair or put
the stamp of final perfection upon
their crime.
Hitchcock is not really concerned
to conceal that his climax will be
exposure of the crime. He Is con-
tent rather to build. his suspense
around just how and when this
will be accomplished.
Hitchcock's stunt in Rope" de-
mands of the performers finer
textured acting than is encountered
in even the better screen melo-
dramas. 1t asks continuous charac-
ter creation from the inside out and
it must have been as exhausting to
the players as 1t is rewarding to
audiences.

principal trio, master and pupils,

Based on the Territorial Department of Health report on it's tuberculosis x-ray program The Empire said in an editorial recently The X-ray survey Of AS GOO Aaskans of all races indicates that among whites in Alaska there less TB than in the States, but the rate among the natives is far above the na- tional average"
 of the Health Department, has furnished us the following information
 Several factors must be considered for proper interpretation of x-ray surveys in Alaska
 'X-ray surveys throughout the world have shown that there is a greater resistance to tuberculosis among people of European stock (because of their longer contact with the disease) than among those of African Asiatc or North American ancestry How ever any people will gradually develop resistance II control measures adequate.
 From public health standpoint, the individual with the higher resistance may be a greater menace as his symptoms develop gradually and he thus unkncwngly exposes others.
 "The tuberculosis rate in Alaska, even among these of European ancestry, is much higher than in comparable groups in the States. For example, in le47 an X-rav survey was made in New York City of garment workers Of the HOO workers examined, 39 survey in an Alaskan city of similar number and race showed rate three times high.
 During ls42 the State of Louisiana which has a high white population reported that 9S per cent of persons xrayed had evidence of tuberculosis The Alaskan surveys reached similar number of people and vet the rate four times greater.

ghost writer for President Truman, has favorite story of how cer- tain speech was prepared for the late FDR.
 Instead of turning the task over to his usual assistants, Roosevelt, on this occasion, did his own drafting. Several days before the speech was to he made, he turned the manuscript over to Harry Hop kins.
 I've written this myself" Roose- welt said. Look it over and see what ought to be done with it."
 Hopkins summoned Judge Sam Rosenman and playwright. Robert E. Sherwood who usually prepared the speeches. After the trio had read the draft, there was a long silence.
 Finally Sherwood said: "The best thing is to put this aside and start fresh from scratch" The next day, Hopkins handed the new speech to Roosevelt. He read it carefully and then exclaim- ed: This is. fine. Just what I wanted"
 Clifford relates that Roosevelt never asked about his original draft and never again wrote an- other speech.

countries with similar weather conditions have much lower tuberculosis rate An xray survey in Reykavk Iceland revealed tuberculosis is only II per cent of the 43000 examined
 "The experience of countries such as Norway, Denmark Sweden and such States as New Hampshire has shown what great progress in tuberculosis control can be made when proper measures are taken
 "The city of Minneapolis has developed tuber century. The death rate from tuberculosis has drop culoss control program over the past quarter of a ped from 120 per 100000 in 1920 to 27 in 945 Deaths from tuberculosis among children under five of age declined from high rate in 19203o to not single death from tuberculosis in 1945
 Tt is probable that Alaska have tuber- culosis rate as low as the Scandinavian countries within few years if public health measures expanded surveys continued, and adequate hos pital beds are made available.
 Health is a purchasable commodity within natural limitations, community can determine its own death rate"
 We give again the table from which conclusions were drawn:

Slow Bell on Pulp Development
(Ketchikan News)

The Daily News repeats its previous warning against trying to capitalize the proposed pulp and paper industry until work has actually started the first unit.
 It is fitting that should plan ahead and be ready to cooperate with the industry in every possible way but there will be time to carry out such plans after work has begun.
 Meantime, we don't want to create any false hopes or anything like boom Local men in charge of affairs fully capable of doing whatever is sary
 Official news will be given the public when there anything to announce Speculative and unreliable reports and efforts for the sake of few dollars that might be buldozed from the public by trying to create boom will do more harm than good. Such reports will not influence fool investors
 With them it is cold-blooded business proposi- tion They already know they will get full cooperation from this city any time the need arises

on, R., Cal, just as angrily insist ed on further public hearings. Each side accused the other of playing politics and grand-standing.
 I'm getting sick of this mess ing around" Hebert declared. Either Hiss or Chambers is lying, but it's not for us to decide who is guilty. We have presented the evidence, and it's now up to the Justice Department to determine who committed perjury and to prosecute. I am strongly in favor of the Committee continuing its investigation, but the HisS-Cham- bers phase of it is finished. It's time we went on to other things.
 But the administration wants to shut off the probe entirely while you Republicans want to keep this Hiss Chambers pot boiling. Both sides are playing politics. I'm a Thurmond man myself, and say you are both trying to drag this matter out until after the Novem- Der election"
 Were laying the facts on a very important matter concerning the loyalty of government officials be- fore the American people" re- torted Mundt Do you call that playing politics?'
 "It's the way you're doing it." shot back Hebert. You are ob- viously dragging this thing out in an effort to affect the election. We have already established the fact that perjury was committed. What more is needed for the Jus tice Department to act? It's got the evidence, let it step in and take over. That's what the Department is for"
 That's your opinion" snapped Nixon. We don't think the Com mittee has uncovered all the evil dence. Until we do, we should not waive our rights to the Justice De- partment."
 Strangely, Chairman Parnell Thomas, usually very vocal, took no part in the exchange. Later. how ever, he indicated he was 'inclin- ed' to agree with Hebert.
 The Committee finally effected a compromise On Nixon's motion it was agreed to hear several other witnesses after which the case would be turned over to the Jus tice Department.

 He is Arsenic Luz, Minister Of Propaganda in the puppet govern ment. The job slated for him is Information Officer of the En- bassy. And his assistant would be Leon Guerrero, who was top broad caster of the Jap-controlled Man ila radio.

SECRET TEST

The U. s. public doesn't know it, but it's being secretly tested" on reaction toward onetime Jap col laborators.
 The cagey probing is being done by a group of powerful Filipino politicos who would like to stage a comeback in next years presiden- tial election Head of the group is Jose Laurel, premier of the war time puppet government. Now at liberty under an amnesty order of the late President Roxas, Laurel has his eye on the Philippine Presidency.
 The testing of U. s. sentiment is being done in this manner: prom inent ex-coilaborators are being quietly sent to Washington on short visits to circulate among officials and to do some open-handed enter taining. The idea is that if no "squawks" develop. then others will be sent over for longer stays. If that proves successful, then Laurel himself will come oyer.
 Latest of these trial balloons was Jorge Vargas, who spent week in swank capital hotel. Vargas head ed the Executive Committee of the puppet Government and was puppet Ambassador to Tokyo. He was inn poisoned by General Macarthur and spent a long time in jail. Like Laurel, Vargas was freed under the Roxas amnesty.
 Two other x-collaborators are due shortly. They are Camille Osias and Emilio Tria Tirona, who
