The effect of a strike of 65,00O workers at the Ford Motor Co.'s two Detroit area plants was be- ginning to be felt in the industry today. The strike started last Thursday.
 The company said it will lay off 5000 workers at Ford plants in St. Louis, Minneapolis-St. Paul, Los Angeles, Iron Mountain, Mich, and Metuchen, N. J., within Q few days. .
 Many small plants among Ford's $500 suppliers were beginning to feel the strikes effect also.
 Elsewhere in the automotive in dustry, 47,600 workers previously made idle by strikers were 10 re- turn to work today.
 Hudson recalled 25,000 laid off last week by shortage of brakes; Briggs Mfg. Co.,, recalled l6,300 made idle Friday by small walk out. And Chrysler resumed opera tions in Plymouth, Mich, where $500 were laid off by shortage of Briggs car bodies. Some 1900 San Francisco cab drivers returned to work today af ter settlement of their l28-day strike.

Open Letfer 10 Members,
 Territorial Legislature

PETERSBURG, Alaska, Jan. 22. I-Gentlemen: Cur attention has been called to thes recent House Bill No. 3. presented by MT. Marcus Jensen and MT. Glen Franklin. h. corporated into this bill is 4 per cent tax on all raw fish delivered in the Territory, which this or ganization, composed of resident halibut fishermen, are strongly op- posed. We as body realize that the Territory, in order to enjoy bal anced budget will undoubtedly have to legislate form of taxation to meet the steadily mounting expen- ditures of government operation.
 We do not believe this bill with a 4 per cent tax on raw fish will compensate in Territorial Revenue the damage and ill feeling it will cause Ii passed in it's present form. The effect on the halihut fisher men will decrease the earnings at a time when the operation costs are at an all time high, with a pre-war price for our product. We firmly believe this tax will not only divert 3 large percentage of American halibut landings into Canadian ports, but also tend to channel the business of partially if not wholly outfitting these vessels to Canadian merchants, this being particularly true in the port of Ketchikan, which lies close to Prince Rupert. Vessels normally selling in Alaskan ports would not hesitate travelling these few miles if the monetary gain would warrant, which would defi- nitely be the case if this bill was enacted into law.
 We as a group of resident fisher men strongly urge our present leg islators to abandon this proposal, and as an alternative we would suggest the issuing of an unloading license, similar to the one in force in the State of California This license is issued to each vessel Qn California $25.oO for the season, no vessel being allowed to unload it's catch before presenting this li- cense. In our opinion this license should be imposed in the Terri tory through graduated scale, each boat being charged in accordance with it's net tonnage. We do not find any objectionable features in the till calling for an increase in fishing license cost, but at the present time our law taxes all resi-

SINGING STARS,
 PIANO KING AT
 CAPITOL THEATRE

Jeanette Macdonald sings-Jose Iturhi plays-Jane Powell sings and it's a case of stars, romance, music and heartwarming comedy brought to the screen in Techni- color in Three Daring Daughters" :" the feature now at the Capitol The atre.
 This is MGM's welcome home picture for Miss Macdonald, Hol- lywood's golden-voiced star who deserted films five years ago to win fresh acclaim in the concert and operatic fields. AS the mod ern business woman with three growing daughters who finds TO- nance during a tropical cruise, she has the type or role which has en- deared her to millions of fans throughout the world. She not only romances with the renowned pian- ist, Jose Iturbi, but sings song after song to his magnificent accompani- ment.
 Iturbi has his initial romantic role and a chance to reveal his histrionic abilities as well as his stellar tal- ents as a conductor and, pianist.
 No. content with these two artists the picture also features Jane Pow ell, whose glorious voice and per- formance in Holiday in Mexico, " skyrocketed her to stellar heights on the eve of her sixteenth birth day. Again Jane has a chance to sing and to meddle in the romantic mix-ups of her elders. She is aided in the merry tangle by Mary Flea nor Donahue and little Ann E. Todd, with another big role played by Edward Arnold, as gruff news paper tycoon.
 Three Daring Daughters" is a story of amusing complications which result when woman at tempts to keep her second. marriage secret from her three young daughters.

Richie Mitchell,
| Almost Ring King,
| Succumbs at 81
By the Assoeiotsd Press

MILWAUKEE,, June 27.-Richie
Mitchell. 81, who boasted he once
was "one second away" from the
lightweight boxing crown, died at
a Milwaukee hospital yesterday.
He suffered a ruptured appendix
last week.
His wife Florence, who had been
at his bedside since he was strick-
en-, was placed in another hospital
bed after his death. She was near
collapse.
Richie, born Richard Harvey
Mitchell on July IA. 1895. fought
them all during his II years l912-
1929 in pro rings. But his great
est chance was the title bout with
the late Benny Leonard in New
York's old Madison Square Gar
den January IA. 1921.
Mitchell was floored three times
in the first round, but he kept on
coming.
AFTER had picked myself of
the floor for the third time" he
related recently, IT saw Leonard
pull his right hand back. That
was to be the clincher. But he
never landed.
IT used my own right for block
as Leonard swung. and with my
own left, q hook, caught him on
ths law DOWN he went, At
three, he was on one knee. He
had q sick look on his face. At
nine, he raised himself to a crouch
and winked at his seconds. indi-
eating he was all right. But he
wasn't, I know.
"As he staggered back on his
heels, he went all the way across
the ring until he bumped into the
ropes. And he got lucky break
when he did, because as he hit
them his head snapped back. My
right, which might have finished
the champ then and there, just
missed Benny's chin. My biggest
chance to win the title was gone.
I had been only one second from
the championship"
Leonard went on to retain his
title, the bout ending in the sixth
round after he had scored three
more knockdowns. The fight
drew the largest gate in the old
Gardens history, $166,000.
