THE UNFAITHFUL IS FEATURE NOW
 AT 10TH CENTURY

An up-to-the-minute story, pack ed with suspense, of woman who is unfaithful to her absent hus- band, is the exciting theme of The Unfaithful," new Warner. Bros, drama at the goth Century Theatre tonight for the last showing.
 Ann Sheridan, Lew Ayres and Zachary Scott have co-starring roles in the romantic production. with Eve Arden. Jerome Cowan, Steven Geray and John Hoyt in other important characterizations.
 "The Unfaithful" begins with a cry in the night and a dead body on the floor of Chris Hunters home Chris (Ann SheridanD tells police that the intruder had de- handed. her jewelry and in the struggle she had stabbed him with a knife which her husband, Bob Zachary ScotD, had brought home from Tokyo.
 The body is identified as that of Michael Tanner, sculptor, who. il develops, had been an ardent suitor of Chris during her hus- ,and's service overseas. When Bob learns the truth, Chris pleads for his forgiveness, but he asks for a divorce.
 In court. the prosecuting attor- ney (Jerome Cowan) strives to im- press the jury with the belief that Chris clung to the husband she had deceived, merely to preserve the comfortable life he had pro vided for her. Her defense rests on the established physical evidence as proof that Chris killed in self defense.
 The jury's decision and it's ef- feet on Bob's plans creates a sweep ing climax which wrings from the story the last full measure of emotion.

major change in the law, grew out of reports that certain account ants were deirauding trustful clients Heretofore, only Certified Public Accountants were recognized by law. The old Board of Account arcy has been replaced by the pre- sent board of five members, only two of whom are certified
 Acting Governor Lew Williams appointed the members of the new Board, which has teen organized as follows: Marshall Crutcher, Kodiak, President; Elmer G. Johnson, ketchikan, Secretary; Charles M. Marler, Ketchikan, Treasurer; Joseph A. Boulet, Fairbanks, and Clayton Esslinger, Palmer
 Public accountants who were in active practice before April 1, l949, are entitled to be licensed without examination if they comply with the act before July 1, 1949. Here after, no one may engage in the public practice of accounting until he has been a resident of the Ter ritory for one year and has pas sed an examination.
 Nonresident accountants may obtain. licenses by reciprocity with other states. but will have to be bonded and must pay license fee of $25000.
 The Board has ruled that all present and future accountants must post surety bonds of $2,500 to protect their clients against wrongdoing.
 The first examination to be given will start November 16 and will last two days. The examina- tions for Public Accountants will be much easier than the examina- tions given to certified public ac- ccuntants.
 The Board estimates that the fees to be collected under the new act will be about s2,500 per annum and that it will cost about that amount to administer the act.

all-out nature of Senator Mintons New Dealism and the hot contests in which he became involved that gave impression that his emotions sometimes ran away with his judgment.
 In Washington he is also remembered for his bitter attacks upon the press and for his bill making it felony for newspaper to publish anything known to be false Completely overlooking the impossbility of determining the truth falsty of every item of news the Senator urged fines up to Si0000 and im- prisonment for much two years for the publica tion of unruths It scarcely be said that his bill suggested attachment to the guarantee of freedom of the press that the Supreme Court is expected to uphold.
 Nor was Senator Mintons attitude toward the Supreme Court that of constitutional scholar judicous- minded statesman. At time he proposed to limit the power of the Supreme Court so that it would be unable to declare acts of Congress uncon stitutional unless of it's nine members concured In these days of split decisions that ar rangement might have given minority of three con- ro of the involving the costitutionality of congressional acts

last week which is diplomatic dy- namite. He cast serious doubt on the State Departments right to enter into agreements with other governments without ratification by the Senate.
 Ruling that the Canadian -Ameri- can air agreement may be illegal, Judge Goldsborough required the executive departments to define where the Presidents power of executing agreements ends and the Senate's right to ratify treaties be- gins.
 Forty-nine Senators have pro- tested the Canadian agreement on air routes as a State Department invasion of the Senate's ratifica- ton powers. Meanwhile Canada has put the State Department on the spot by threatening to throw out every U. s. line from Gander Airport in Newfoundland tomorrow Sept. 30). Gander is the most important base on the trans Atlan- tic hop, and the constitution issue raised by Judge Goldsborough is probably the most important since the Dred Scott decision.
