"(ARNEGIE HALL" I5SCHEDULED FOR
 CAPITOL THEATRE

Producers Boris Morros and Will liam Le Baron moved their Federal Film Productions cameras onto the stage of New York City's most hal lowed musical showcase, Carnegie Hall, to film Carnegie Hall," this most bountiful of classical music programs. Practically every top name in the music tield-s symphony conductors, singers, violinists-ap- pears in this film as soloist.
 It's a vast, brilliantly picture sure to receive immediate applause from any music lover. But more than this, it will please even the non-musical who don't know clarinet from a crenscendo. It will please these people because, while the music is strictly long-haired, with a couple of exceptions, the more familiar, more showy selec- tions are used. The exceptions are Vaughn Monroe and his orchestra, and Harry James and his horn.
 The concert stars appearing com prise who's who of the musical world: the conductors, Walter Dam- rosch, Bruno Walter, Artur Rodzin- ski, Fritz Reiner and Leopold Stokowski; the singers, Lily Pons, Rise Stevens, Jan Peerce and Ezio Pinza; the cellist, Gregor Piati- gcrsky; the pianist, Artur Ruben stein; the violinist, Jascha Heifetz. All these, plus the New York Phil harmonic and the Philharmonic Quintette.
 Binding these stars and their offerings together is the story of mother who wants her son to grow up to be a pianist good enough to play at Carnegie Hall. The boy is a pianist, all right, but he prefers to play with Vaughn Monroe's orchestra. This situation makes for passion and pathos, but the film is resolved hapilly by having the Pldlllot-oOii dPPSdl dV OoAhS6AS e-S the composer-conductor pianist of a modern horn concerto with Harry James as soloist. The Hollywood cast enacting this story comprises Marsha Hunt, the mother; William Prince, the son; Frank McHugh, the Carnegie Hall porter and door man; and Martha ODriscoll, a popular singer who provides the love interest.
 Carnegie Hall" comes to the Capitol Theatre on November 15, 16, IT, as the second offering in this theatres Film Classic Music Series. It is sure to be the most outstanding event of this kind in Juneau this winter.

FINE RECORD FOR JUNEAU YOUTH
 ON HALLOWEEN

Gay, rollicking creatures from the world of imagination took over the city last night for noisy Halloween pranks and fun, but. according to the Juneau Police Department, no real damage.
 Ghosts, goblins, witches, black cats and other "haunts' roamed the streets of downtown and residence areas, most of them intent on tricks or treats" with the empha- sis on treats.
 However, anything detachable was considered fair play, so many resident found a gate on tele- phone pole, doormat on the roof.
 Among the detachables was a bright red 12-foot ladder which A. E. Phillips had failed to take in. This was found, unbroken, on the curb of the Ninth Street hill.
 One Halloween character how ever, came near causing serious ac- cidents and, despite the cleverness of the plan, police hope that the imagination which devised it will be put to more amusing use next 1 year.
 This was the life-like dummy which was repeatedly tossed into the street from the Calhoun via duct, before oncoming cars and buses.
 Thanks to the drivers quick re- action and immediate stop, and the fact that there was little traffic no accident resulted when the dummy. struck the windshield of a City bus. But there might have been injuries, even deaths.
 Another idea of humor was tc put garbage can with burning smudge pot in the cemetery This seems harmless enough, except tha; the smudge bomb was taken, as were numerous earricades, from locations of street repairs which thus were left unguarded. Juneau motorists were wary, though, and no result ant accidents were reported.
 Young sprouts overturned gar bage cans, and older mischief makers are being blamed with let. ting air out of tires to the rear oi the Federal Building.
 Hundreds of bars of soap mus have been needed for the deco rating" of windows which were being washed this morning b, merchants and housewives.
 Signs on the Governors House read For Sale and For Rent.

THREE WOMEN, EJT0RY
 AT 10TH CENTURY

The philanderings of a debonair philanderer form the tasis of RkO Radios powerful dramatic offering, They Won't Believe Me-" starring Robert Young, Susan Hayward and Jane Greer. This feature is at the 20th Century Theatre tonight.

 Tom Powers. George Tyne and Don Beddoe are others who are prominent in the photoplay di- rected ty Irving Pichel, and which is based upon novel and Cosmo- rolitan story by Gordon McDonell. Joan Harrison produced.

Peron Succeed Self
BY the Associoted Press

BUENOS AIRES, Feb. 2.-Argen-
tina's majority Peronista Party re-
versed itself today and decided to
amend the constitution to permit
President Juan D. Peron to succeed
himself.
Earlier the party decided to retain
the provision of the 1853 constitu-
ton which would prevent the Pres
ident from serving consecutive six
year terms. Gen. Perons present
term expires in 1852.
The Peronistas control 109 of the
1853 seats in the Constituent Assem-
bly,. which is rewriting the old con-
stitution. The party's approval Of
any projected change is tantamount
to adoption by the Assembly.
Gen. Peron read a list of proposed
constitutional changes to a group OF
party delegates January II. He was
cheered wildly when he mentioned
the provision allowing the President
to serve consecutive terms. He add
ed, however, he had accepted the
idea against my will because it is
the desire of the Peronista Party"
He has said the duties of the
presidency were too much for his
health. He is SO years old.

Senate Group 10 Vote
Today on Proposals
Ito Avert FiIibusters
BY the Assoeioted Press

The Senate Rules Committee
was called into secret session at
2 pm. today to vote on pro-
posals which would wipe out the
f1libuSter.
Protesting Southerners had COM
promise ready to offer. But the
committee was expected to approve
resolution which would change
Senate rules to permit a gag on
debate at any time on any matter
by two-thirds vote. The two
thirds rule now applies only to
debate on bill-not to argu-
ments on motions and other busi-
ness.
The Southern bloc was willing
to accept a compromise to shut of
debate at any time by the vote of
Sc of the 96 Senators.
The Southerners say the proposed
rule change is just a device to gag
them while Congress rams through
antilynching, antipoll tax and fair
employment legislation. They have
promised to fllibuster-i. e., to speak
at great length-against the rules
change once it hits the Senate floor.
Senator Johnston, Democrat, of
South Carolina, told the committee
yesterday an effort is being. made
to pass the civil rights program
quickly before there is tine ito

tinize its probable drastic effects
upon the social and economic sys-

port that the Hoover Commission

ate Majority Leader Lucas blocked
immediate Senate confirmation the
other day of James NJ Mitchell as
