WESTERN UNI0N'
 AT 20TH CENTURY
 STARTING SUNDAY

Zane Grey's Western Union, celebrated as the mightiest drama of the frontier West the screen has ever known, makes a return engage ment at the 20th Century Theatre starting Sunday, to thrill local audiences with its stirring adventure, pulse-pounding excitement and col orful drama. Filmed by Twentieth Century-Fox, the picture features an outstanding cast headed by Rob- ert Young and Randolph Scott, and includes Dean dagger, Virginia Gill more, John Carradine and Slim Summerville.
 A thrill-thundering e..ic of h. dians, romance and blazing guns Western Union unfolds the grip ping adventure story of the fierce battle to build the first transconti- mental telegraph over West in fested with renegades and hostile Indian tribes.
 The signal for the wagon train to start rolling across the prairie marked the beginning of one of the most colorful and thrilling episodes in the history of the West.
 Battling the heat of the desert and the snow of dangerous noun tain passes, their cattle stolen and their wires cut down, and stalked every foot of the way by Indians who were melted to massacre by ar outlaw band, Creighton and his men fought their way to an unforgettaele triumph.

Zoo ai Berlin
 Faces Trouble

BERLIN-tM- Berlin's decimat- ed but still extremely popular zoo is planning to cover its surviv- ing monkeys with woolen blankets if the Soviet blockade holds and the winter IS severe. This was disclosed by Director Katharine Heimroth as she drafted emergency measures to bring the zoo through it's fourth-and perhaps it's most severe-postwar winter.
 The zoo is in the British sec tor of the city and thus witl the remainder of the three western occupied sectors, depends upon the Anglo-American airlift for supplies Coal will certainly be in shorter supply than ever. Since many oe the buildings are bomb damaged, chill winds whistle through them and only small coal stoves are available to warm the cages. That is where blanket coverings would come in handy for the smaller animals, especially the monkeys.
 Winter casualties in the past have been heavy. "Siam," the zoos last elephant, died last win ter. He had sickened from the combined effects of age, short diet and cold. Other casualties in the past postwar winters have ] been from theft Hungry people stole some animals and birds for food. Berlin's children now art helping to relieve the zoos fooc
 problem by contributing gather ings of acorns, grass and straw

lars is pretty high Where are we going to get the extra money? Take it away from the schools or raise more?"
 The House later refused for a sec- ond time to concur with Senate change in one of it's bills It voted 9 to against concurring on the Senate amendment cutting the bounty on coyotes to $20. The House had voted for $50. The present bounty is $25. House members said the Senators must have been mis- informed on the coyote population; that there are large number in the Third Division. The House rejected, 10 to 12. Rep. Taylor's bill to qualify experienced stateside dentists automatically in Alaska.
 New Bills News bills introduced in the House yesterday afternoon were: By Egan, for $5 bounty on eagles; $15,000 appropriation. By McCutcheon, to create wild : life research unit at the University of Alaska under a director who is labeled the Leader" in the bill; $4O,0OO appropriation. By Carlson and Owen, reintro- duction in slightly modified form of , the once defeated bill for creating special marine facilities account for motor fuels tax receipts from boats.
 A resolution by Owen would ask President Truman and Congression- | al leaders to support passage of the Bland-Magnuson bills for building a merchant marine.
 Nerland in House l Senator Nerland made a dramatic half hour appearance in the House
 to assure the members the Board of Regents is working actively for the selection of a new University President. He expressed resentment over the House resolution of the i previous day which contended the regents weren't taking their task seriously. When he concluded Speaker McCutcheon and Rep. Glen Franklin assured the Senator they meant no personal offense, but that
 they felt other regents were not
 showing sufficient active insert in the problem.

property is in the incorporated towns and is already obligated, while the Federal government owns and controls the natural resources" :"
 Long Negligent
 we have long been negligent in performing our functions, including the building of schools both in ru- ral and municipal areas" Senator Rivers charged.
 He described city schools as "bulging at the seams" and rural schools antiquated, small, poorly lighted and ready to fall down.
 Even with the funds requested here. it will require five to eight years to catch up with our school construction program" Senator Riv- CTS stated.
 Congress has allowed nearly ev- cry city in the Territory to bond itself and we will be negligent if we don't take this, opportunity to use our credit to fill our needs"
 Senator Rivers scoffed at the idea that, Territorial bonds would not sell and that the memorial would in any way injure the statehood cause.
 Tt is the first indication we can give Congress that we are trying to help ourselves. We aren't asking for a handout from the govern ment."
 Asserting that the city of An chorage is bonded for thirteen mill lion dollars, Senator Rivers said that 3 or 31z per cent bonds would find a ready market.
 Engebreth Contradicts
 Senate President Gunnard Enge- breth turned the chair over to Sen- ator Lyng and took the floor, also in opposition to the memorial.
 He contradicted Senator Rivers statement regarding Anchorage stating that the city is bonded only for about five million dollars, and they are worried about that"
The Daily Alaska empire., 1949-02-26

Announcing that he is aware of the need for school building and firmly in accord with the program for their construction, Senator Engebreth said that the priority list made up by the Board of Edu- cation will take care of the i'm mediate wants, out of tax money.
 Senator McCutcheon felt that the opponents of the bill had lost sight of the fact that the memorial is only a request for permission to bono and said that it will be up to the next legislature to take up !, the bonding question if the per- mission is granted.
 Pay AS You Go Senator Butrovich favored pay as you go" program of school con- l struction, and recalled that only a i few years ago a twenty-five million dollar national debt was a cause for worry.
 "Yet we propose to go in debt for more than half of that amount" he said. "The interest alone would amount to enough to build several schools each bien- nium"
 | Fairbanks, he said, is having trouble selling its municipal bonds and may have to put the rate ur to four per cent before they are sold.
 We have taken on an ambitious tax program" Senator Butrovich said. We had better follow the lead Democrats in Congress and not stretch out too far. The future is too uncertain"
 Senator Peratrovich did not be- lieve the memorial would in any way jeopardize statehood.
 "The need for new schools is there" he said. "Let us take care of it."
 The five senators voting for the memorial were Huntiey, Mackenzie McCutcheon, Peratrovich and Riv- CTS.

B. 23, to change the name o1 the Unemployment Compensation Commission to the Employment Se- curity Commission, which had beer passed by l5-1 vote during the morning session, was revoted yes terday afternoon on motion fol reconsideration by Senator Jones. .

functions, including the employ ment service, the handling of re- adjustment allowances for veterans and War Shipping Administration benefits for the unemployed.
 Are there any functions denied them by reason of the name they go under?" Senator Jones wanted to know. Senator McCutcheon said he didn't know of any.
 The bill passed 12-4, with Sena- tors Butrovich, Dawes, Jones anc Engebreth on the minority side.

Townspeople have come to look
forward from year to year 10 the

The audience of parents,

the smoothness of the dialogue,
and the professional way the
story unfolded.
All of the scenes take place in
the Bailey's living room on and

It's Writers Crdmp'
Time Once Again For
Supt. Gale Baldwin

It's writer's Cramp season ! for
County Supt. Gale w. Baldwin.
The time has come again Supt.
Baldwin begins the annual task
of signing his name to the myriad
of High School and eighth grade
graduation and promotion CertifI-
Gates, as well as extra-curricular
certificates.
Mr.. Baldwin estimates that he
signs an average of 200 eighth
grade certificates and 100 high
school diplomas every spring.
This is his 18th year in the coun-
ty office and that totals up to ap-
proXimately 2200 times that he
had placed his signature on
eighth grade promotion certifi-
Gates and over 100 times he has
signed high school diplomas.
This means almost 1000 times
that Gale w. Baldwin" has been
signed on a certificate that means
so much to the pupil receiving it.
Some day when l retire l am
going to figure up how many
times | have signed my name to
papers, certificates, diplomas,
etc" Mr.. Baldwin said.

Employment Conditions
In County on UPGRADE
Better Weather

Workers Return
April Unemployment
However. Is Highest
Since Slump Started

Arrival of spring and warmer
weather has brought about re-
ductiOn in unemployment in I'm
ion County during the past few
weeks, according to figures COM
piled by the local office of The
Ohio State Employment Service.
April, however, had the largest
average number of unemployment
claims of any month since the
present business recession" be-
gan shortly after the first of the
year. There were an average of
$50 claims for unemployment
compensation during the month,
70 of which were under the Ohio
Unemployment Compensation law
and II under the Serviceman'S
Readjustment Administration.
During the last week of April,
however, total number of claims
dropped to ll6, of which 65 were
for Ohio compensation and 81
were under the Serviceman'S Act.
The first week of May showed
still further reduction.
Things Locking Good"
"As far as Union County is con-
cerned right now, things are look4
ing good" Carl F. Rogers, mana
ger of the Marysville office of the
OSES declares.
Much of the drop in unemploy-
ment claims has been due to re-
turn of seasonal workers to their
jobs, especially in farming and
construction trades, Mr.. Rogers
said. A still further decrease
should be noted during the com
ing weeks, he added.
In addition, several of the en-
ployees laid off by the H. B. Sal
ter Manufacturing Co. and the
Rance plant in Delaware a few
weeks ago have been recalled to
work. Also, Erie Screw Products
Co. and Nestles, Inc, have taken
on a few new employees at their
plants here.
Situation Elsewhere Hurts
Much of the unemployment in
Union County has been occasioned
by lay-offs in Marion, Columbus,
Springfield anad Delaware, Mr..
Rogers said. These have mostly
affected persons living in the
northern and eastern parts of the
county, although several from
Marysville commute daily to jobs
in those cities.
