FOR UGASHIK TO BUILD
WIER, SUMNER PATROLS

The Crane, Fish and Wildlife
Service boat, expects to leave some
time today with pile driver in

Brown Bear. The Crane expects to
reach its destination about May
IA, said Capt. Lin Jorgenson, mas

Jgashik River to spawn. After the
construction of the weir, the Crane
is to go to its summer headquar-
ers at False Pass. From there, the
fessel will go on its patrols of
he Shumagin area during the
Ishing season. The condition of the
pawning streams will be checked
and checks will be taken on SAL
non going upstream to spawn.

man and his family were put off
at Ketchikan. Mrs. Marcus Meyer
md two children are leaving the
BOAT here instead of proceeding to
Kodiak to meet Mr.. Meyer FWS
employee.
Mrs. Jorgenson is staying in Ju-
neau visiting her daughter, Mrs.
Blake Kinner, instead of sailing

MOZART STORY
GIVEN PREMIERE,
CAPITOL THEATRE

With the doors opening at Z pm.
and program starting at 7:45 to-
night Juneau music-loverS will
finally see the Alaska Premiere
Showing of 1.-The Mozart Story at
the Capitol Theatre. No seats are
reserved and the later starting hour
has been arranged to permit as
many as possible to be seated be-
fore the feature starts. No one
will be seated after the feature be-
gins thus allowing patrons to hear
Mozart's exquisite music undis-
urhed. The poignant story of Wolf
gang Amadeus Mozart is sure to
move every patron and will give
,uller meaning to the music he
wrote.
The picture opens with the meet
ing of Franz Joseph Haydn and
Antonio Salieri in an attempt to
right a wrong that had been in
ilicted on the poverty stricken
genius throughout his life. They
ecall the astounding introduction
to the world of Mozart as a child
prodigy, through his heartbreaking
youth and finally his untimely
death at 81 years.
The performances are convincing
and moving Hans Holt is a charm
ing Mozart. Winnie Markus as his
wife Constance and Irene Won
Meyendorff as her sister Louise
contribute strong portrayals as the
women in his life.
Wilton Graft makes convincing
villain $50 to speak, as the musical
director who crushed any hope
Mozart had for success in his life
time.
Interpolated between portrayals
Of his life and often times forward
ing the action, are brilliantly
played and recorded musical rem
ditions of the finest that Mozart
composed. The music as played ana
sung by the Vienna Philharmonic
Orchestra and Opera, respectively,
4 all any music lover could wish
ior 1t is sure to increase the de-
sire to hear more.
One scene to remember is the
meeting of Beethoven and Mozart.
This is the only scene in which
music other than Mozart's is
played Beethoven plays his own
compositions in a manner that will
really surprise those familiar with
bis music.

A BILLION DOLLAR PROPOSAL

William E. Warne, assistant secretary of the Interior Department who is in the Territory and who met with all the heads of government departments in confer ence recently at Mt Mckinley Park, has announced a new plan for the development of Alaska The plan in- cludes billion dollar development similar to the Ten nessee Valley Authority and would be known as the Alaska Development Corporation. The problems of the proposed program well propounded in the Anchor age Daily Times from which quote:
 "The proposal presents some interesting problems for Alaskans to ponder Until MT. Warne makes known the details and powers of the huge corporation, local alterations must the legislation will bring to

LITTLE THEATER GROUP OF NOME
(By Norman l.. Bellury)

A group of ambitious persons in Nome and on Marks Air Base have organized a Little Theater Group not long ago and they hoping for the support of all clt of the Nome to insure the success o thelr un- dertaking.
 The initial movement was spontaneous and many peo- pie have already become members of the group, and many others are needed The Little Theater Group is already conducting initial rehearsals for a Christmas play, Dickens immortal "A Christmas Carol
 The Nome area is in need of cultural movement of this order Talented persons have too long been pelled hide their powers This is their opportunity to express themselves and take part in the things that much to them. Through the long winter months that lie ahead almost unlimited opportunities exist for those who willing to put forth the effort required
 stage play is not made up of actors alone. The be hind the scenes workers make up the real heart O the business and persons who have knack with tools, cos tunes, and the art of makeup are urgently needed There satisfying flavor in the successful production of play in which you have had active part To it reach it's successful conclusion at the final curtain and know that made possible through effort your part is really satisfying Any good stage play depends largely upon the scenery and lighting effects The actors heavily handicapped when they poor ly supported and any play is only halfsuccesS when the spirited cooperation that is necessary is lacking
 To the residents of the Nome the Little Theater Group offers unparalleled opportunity to participate in the arts Great benefits be gained from such work both in individual sense and to the community at large Strangers gathered together and through the medium of close cooperation learn to judge those values that make up SucceSS1ul personality. Many close friendships have resulted from little theater ments and invaluable training and experience offer ed to those who seriously consider making the stage their Young persons especially benefit in this way although this to consrue that the field is limited to them alone The older folks who often the real backbone of the organization reach into new fields extending their business relations and their abilities to handle groups
 The little theater group is made up of amateurs, a nonproft unit in the that the members not paid for their work Expenses must be met of and admission charges largely cover these.
 Therefore, it behooves each and every one in the Nome area to give whoe-heared support to this group We believe the Little Theater is worthy organization and deserves the support of the entire czenry of the Nome area.

Little Theater
 Group Have Try. Outs For Play

Monday night at o'clock the Little Theater Group of Marks Air Base held their second meeting at the Service Club. Approximately thirty-five members were present and copies of the proposed play "A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens were distributed to those present Miss Virginia Bushko. president of the Group, began the initial reading of the play and the various roles were picked up by other members present. All roles will be cast strictly on a try-Out basis and everyon is eligible to try out for any part he or she may want to play.
 The need for a choir was em- phasized. Few people are known who might take part in the choral group and members were asked to talent scout about the base and in Nome until about twenty persons with good singing voices had been found for the choir. Capt. Ambos is presently attempting to organ 1 ize choir on the base and anyone interested in group singing IS urged to contact him. Singers are urgently needed, and anyone who can sing, or knows of anyone else who can, should contact the Little ] Theater Group on the Base as soon as possible, so preparations can be made to interest them in joining the group.
 Some sixty people will be need ed to produce the play and the call for members is still out. About forty members have submitted ap- plications to date. Anyone inter eSted in producing stage play; acting, makeup costumes, stage enjoyment, finances, and all the other jobs connected with a pro- duction, are urged to join the group ot once More members are urgently needed if the play is to be a success. There is a definite need for talented children in the play. Many child roles are DOT trayed and, as yet, no definite children have been assigned to fill them.
 At the conclusion of the first reading, suggestions were in order and several of interest were put forward and plans were made to act upon them when organized re- hearsals begin in the near future.
 The Group will meet again next Friday night at o'clock at the ] Service Club on the Base and, once more, all persons who are in- terested in theater work are urged , 10 attend this meeting and assist in producing this play. Next Fri days meeting will begin as busi- ness meeting, which will last about an hour, and then the initial casting for the play will be given.
 Copies of the play are available for all members of the cast and lthe Group is making every effort possible to insure that the play will be success in every way possible.

Alaska the worst forms of bureaucracy.
 If the project is found to be desirable with bureau cracy operating in it's most obnoxious fors then the program must certainly be approved by Alaskans. At the same time however, it can be hoped that the cOrpo ration powers will be such to make the bureaucracy not so obnoxious Only Mr. Warne reveal that phase of the program.
 The development corporation financed with gigantic sums from the federal treasury is considered necessary for Alaska because of the failure of private capital to north for development projects History proves that private capital is not available There has been evidence that this situation has is about to change
 It is also well known that most of the problems of Alaskan development hinge on the availability of money Most of Alaska's problems could be eliminated if enough money were available.
 Consequently if Alaska is to be developed there must be huge investment in the Territory. private funds will not be forthcoming then the federal government is the onl yother possible course.
 This leads to the conclusion that Uncle Sam is the only man who is going to put in the money to bring about the development that has been found national neces Sty.
 When the federal government spend money in area bureaus always follow the funds closely Thus if Alaska receive the benefits from billion dollar de- veopment the federal supervision must be expected.
 On the other hand if Alaska seeks freedom from the bureaucratic domination it stands to lose the billion dol lars and all the benefits that would from settle ment projects development of cheap power, cement plants synthetic fuel plants and numerous other op- portuntes for employment and production.
 At first sight it appears that Alaskans have tough choice If they want their land developed they must
 live under mighty bureau that will control large Seg ment of their economy If they oppose and eliminate the bureaucratic controls they will lose the development.
 The only logical to be that Alaska must be emphatcaly in favor of the billion dollar program and at the time, prepare to fight vigorously and perpetually the obnoxious conditions that probably would arise as federal administrators great with power build up fantastic and clumsy organizations fraught with red tape inequtes and sometimes oppressive pol icies
 The explanations of the development program to be made by Secretary Warne may furnish enlightenment to the methods of administering the funds This pro- posed legislation is of the most important propos tons which has emanated from Washington in recent years It will affect the daily lives and the livelihood of virtually every Alaskan. It has many desirable fea- lures that opposition to it is most difficult It may be that Alaskans if they to their great land deve
