FRANK MORGAN,
 MOVIE ACTOR,
 DIES IN SLEEP

HOLLYWOOD, Sept 19-IR- Actor Frank Morgan-he of the harried manner and embarrassed laugh-is dead.
 The veteran stage, movie and radio comic, who in real life took events so calmly he once slept through the victory of his owr yacht in hotly contested race to Honolulu, died yesterday during his sleep. He was 59.
 His wife of 34 years, Alma noticed he had stopped breathing and called an inhalator squad. An b4ars effort was futile.
 Morgan had just finished a pic ture, Keys to the City," with Clark Gable and Loretta Young, on Thurs day, but he did not seem unduly tired. It was his 68th film.
 His latest-released movie was "The Stratton Story" in which he portrayed a baseball scout. Among his top films were "The Great Zieg- feld," Naughty Marietta and Green Dolphin Street." He also had his own radio show for a time.

COMMUNICATION

To the Editor of The Empire: I notice in your newspaper that your Juneau City Band is planning a concert to aid fund for the pur- chase of a grand piano for the city This in itself is a very laudable undertaking but
 Are there not other better funds that could be aided?
 A grand piano is grand thing cut would it be used more than three or four times, possibly six during the year? Then. if a real artist did appear whereby its use would be required, it would neces- sarily have to be tuned, and this is added expense.
 A grand piano must be kept in place where certain tempera ture must be maintained day in and day out and should be kept locked also to prevent indiscrimi- nate use. Far be it from me to take the shingle off the roof, as they say, of any agent or agency, but is a grand piano essential to the few needs required?
 Let us have band concert, cer- tainly, but for a better cause than for grand piano fund.
 Signed, MRS. R. L. w.

and came to stop on the sandy bottom off Palm Point at the entrance to Controller Bay.
 SIGHTED BY PLANES
 The crew slowed their gear in side the upper cabin, out of reach of the water. Then they waited. At 8 o'clock an airplane flew over (this was the Cordova Air Service plane flown by Merle K. Smith :. After it had gone, four-engined Army plane circled. Finally, at 9 o'clock, a Coast Guard PBY arrived and dropped a walkie-talkie. Then the crew of the Afognak was in- formed that the Mary B of Cordova was on the way to help them. The crew waited as the fishing boat Mary B rounded the point. They held their breaths as it con- tinued rounding the point and went out of sight.
 i Then they gave up, pushed the i lllcUOdJ ONcI Illc oluc dAlO StuA tCNs for shore. The surf upset the boat, and the crew of the Mary B which had landed in the Bay since rocks off Palm Point wouldn't allow a landing there, dashed out into the water to help them ashore.
 The crew of the Afognak - Brades,. Johnson. Lee Christy of Ketchikan, Bucky Sadler of Ju- neau, Curtis Bach of Douglas and Jimmy John of Juneau-returned to the wrecked Afognak Friday morning to get their gear.
 l They found that the ship was beginning to break up astern. They returned to Cordova aboard the Mary B Saturday, and left the Afognak, owned by J. V. Cole of Juneau, still on the beach at Palm Point, lying like tired warrior at the end of fight

POWERFUL NOVEL
 HAS REMARQUE,
 CAPITOL THEATRE

Again, Erich Maria Remarque has contributed significant chapter to film history, in the motion picture version of his powerful novel, "The Other Love-" which is at the Capi- tol Theatre tonight and tomorrow Barbara Stanwyck, David Niven and Richard Conte have the lead ing roles.
 Briefly, this is the story of Karen Duncan, a concert pianist who col lapses after strenuous tour and is sent to Swiss Alpine sanitarium to recover her strength. At first she rebels against the total inactivity prescribed for her, especially the prohibition against piano playing But because of her growing aftec- tion for the doctor, she comes to accept her new routine.
 Then a dynamic auto racer arrives in the nearby village, sweeps Karen off her feet and presuades her to run away to the Riviera With nm She resists at first, but becomes con- vinced that she will never regain her health regardless of the doc tors words of encouragement, and determines to live to the full what ever time remains to her.
 The end of the story is inevitable Karen's stepped-up pace is too much for her and, as her strength fails she turns instinctively to the doctor and the sanitarium where, during the last days of her life, she gains the calm serenity that results from acceptance of ones fate and the se- cure love Of the doctor.

THESE DAYS
 GEORGE E. SOKOLSKY

THE RETURN OF ADAM SMITH A people lives by its assumptions, and basic assumption of the Amer ican people is that this is a cap- italist country Capitalism is an economic philosophy best described
 by Adam Smith whose book ap- peared in 1776, the year of the De- claration of Independence.
 Our current generation, in schools and colleges, are being taught away from this basic assumption. Few of them are sufficiently courage ous to declare themselves Marxists, and therefore talk around the sub
 ject; usually producing such a mix ture of truth and falsehood that the student is left without guid- ing philosophy. This confusion, the professors call liberalism: that is, an -mindedness which never reaches conclusions and therefore never reaches maturity.
 This phenomenon startled a lawyer, George s. Montgomery, Jr., who listened to the conversation of the young. He described this ex- perience:
 Some time ago I found myself an observer in in informal dis cussion on modern economies, car- ried on by certain of my nephews and nieces and some of their con- temporaries, all recent graduates or about to become graduates of var ious well-known American colleges.

2oH SCREEN HAS STAR GALAXY IN
 'MExIC0' MUSICAL

Rich in acting and musical talent, Holiday in Mexico" to be seen to- night at the 20th Century Theatre, is a delightful Technicolor musical. It boasts a galaxy of stars headed ly Walter Pidgeon, with the lovely Ilona Massey and youthful Jane Powell handling the singing chores, aided by Jose Iturbi and Xavier Cugat. Punctuating the merriment is Roddy McDowall as the adoles- cent admirer of Miss Powell.
 With its picturesque scenes laid in Mexico City, the plot of the new Joe Pasternak musical centers on the American ambassador to Mex leo and his motherless daughter, played respectively by Pidgeon and Miss Powell The latter, believing herself indispensable in managing her fathers affairs, is shocked on discovering him to be involved in romantice intrigue with mys- terious countess, played by Miss Massey. Spurning the attentions of the impetuous young McDowall, Miss Powell turns instead to Jose Iturbi with whom she believes her. self in love. It takes a cit of in- genuity on the part of the batfled Iturbi to convince Miss Powell that she would be more happily mated to someone closer to her own age, but he finally achieves the feat with the help of his two grandchildren.
 Tn departure from its usual all-screen fare, the 20th Century management announces a novelty attraction tomorrow, with two per formances by Memo, the Magician who has "wowed em" in other Alaska theatres. The feats of magic are billed for tomorrow night only.

ings in foreign exchange. In Can ada, linked with trade ties with Great Britain but whose money follows the U. s. dollar rules, Fi- nance Minister Douglass Abbott promised a statement to Parlia- ment tonight
 Here's how the devaluation works and how Britain and other coun- tries are taking a calculated risk in cheapening their currency:
 Buying Spree Hoped
 Until last night it took S403 to buy pounds worth of British goods. Today the same goods can be bought for $2.80. Britons hope Americans and others with dol lars wilS go on buying spree that will boost their earnings.
 But this financial mechanism also works in reverse. The average Briton eating American wheat smoking American cigarets or buy ing American machinery will have to spend more pounds to get those goods.
 Cripps announced that the first immediate effect to Britons would be to raise the price of a 28-ounce loaf of bread from four and a half pence to six pence (from about eight to ten cents).
 British financial writers express ed shock over the sharpness oi the cut-301a per cent, in specula- tion here for the last year no rate lower than $3 was suggested and most British experts thought il would range somewhere between $3.20 and $3.50.

business and professional families The success achieved by their fath- CTS and the comforts and education made available to them were the results of diligence and thrift over many years under the American capitalistic system, to which the parents were wholeheartedly devot- ed. Orthodoxy was their most prominent characteristic.
 But the views expressed by these self-assured young Americans were so foreign to those of their parents and their forefathers that I have given the evenings colloquy a great deal of thought, study, and research V"
 So he wrote a book, ''The Re- turn of Adam Smith," and it is a significant and valuable discus sion of our current problems. Ev- cry American parent, who really cares about his children and his country, should read the book, and if his children are of college age he should try to get them to read it. It will do them more good than much of the stuff they read for g degree.
 There is one point in MT. Mont gomery's book that I should like to emphasize: I quote:
 ". secured the latest Amer ican edition of The Wealth of Ma. tions, published by the 'Moderr Library in 1897. I discovered that this volume contained an Intro duction written by Professor Ma, Lerner, of Columbia University. read this Introduction. I saw { glimmering of light. There was ! strange similarity between the ia. cile words to which I had listened a few evenings before and the sub. tie phrases of MT. Lerner Whe. I finished the Introduction I wa aware that MT. Lerner had written not an introduction to Adam Smith but an invitation to Karl Marx. Ht provided an epitaph for Adam Smith. It was quite evident tha MT. Lerner intended Adam Smitf to have no greater influence or the economic thought of American youth than has Piers Plowman' or its literary expression. Perhaps thu publishers can explain how the. came to select such a man to in 1 troduce Adam Smith to the Ameri can public"
 1 That is the technique which i undermining America. Huey Loni put it so wisely when he said tha when fascism came to America, i would be called democracy. For in stance, the program of the nev i political group, the ADA, i straight socialism, but they cal it democracy. The Stalinists cal i their satellie countries, People Democracies." So many who would destroy capitalism function a though they were capitalists. I is an era of masquerade, the as sumption being, as Harry Hopkins is so often reported to have said "The people are too dumb" It is this intellectual arrogance which makes it possible for sucf a person as Leon Keyserling, sit. ting in the White House, to advo. cate the destruction of our econ- omic system while giving the i'm. pression that he favors it's preser- vation. Mrs. Roosevelt recently put 1 that thought into words when shs protested that she and her husband during the widest days of the New Deal, sought to preserve capitalism in the United States-sought te do it by establishing mixed econ omy, the first step in Fabian So- cialism.
