Under the judges watchful eyes,
Prescott played the will. II find,
the judge said, looking at the tape,
that it was cut at the points Miss
Terry suggested"
IF Your Honor please" Tessie
said. I'm not interested in whether
or not Prescott Carney attempted
fraud. Nor whether or not tape
recorded will may be admitted to
probate. But, a written will contain
ing erasures isn't legal unless the
erasures have been initiated by the
maker and witnesses. l ask Your
Honor rule that a tape which has
been cut be classified as an erasmre
and thus illegal in the absence of an
initiating in the form of the voices
of the maker and witnesses.
''On the showing of counsel the
point is we'll taken. refuse to admit
the tape-recorded will for probate"
We'll appeal" Edwards said.
Il request, Your Honor" Tessie
continued, "that this will, made a
year ago, be admitted"
The judge examined the will, then
said, so ordered"

AS they left the courtroom Dan
asked, "How long will it take the
appeal to go through, Tessie?"
Prescott won't appeal" she pre-
dicted. HE tried to run whizzer

but why did Uncle Hank make
a new will?"
Il suppose he believed Prescott's
reformation was sincere and felt he
deserved boost from five to
twenty-five thousand in the be-
quest" Tessie answered. Prescott,
no doubt, suggested a tape recorder
as he wanted the executors job, and
with his love of any novelty your
Uncle Hank went for it. Now in
stead of the twenty-five thousand
dollars Prescott might have had,
he'll get but five, and if | know
Edwards, he'll take his share"
Dan nodded, and looked admir-
ingly at Tessie. "And now you have
achieved the goal few lawyers make

forewords from the Governors
of Maryland, Virginia and North
Carolina.
Old home week-like, it Is and
newcomers perhaps should see 1t
to realize that wars and politics
are not the only excitements we
have had around here during the
goth century.
*
Probably on the theory that the
Tri- -Staters were not worth 1t.
which probably is true. Warmers
have used a second-string cast to
represent the unholy terrors OF
this area more than a decade ago.
Steve Cochran, who looks more
like George Legenza than Jimmy
Cagney anyway. is top man in
the group and Virginia Grey plays
the moll who fakes being one of
The Stars ladylike girl reporters.
The others are the usual actors
in documentary-type films and
they are good enough at their
chores.
In addition to pointing the
moral that crime does not pay.
Highway 3o1" argues that the
Tri-Staters were the result ofs too
great a leniencv when they began
as juvenile delinquents.
They are shown starting their
career with the robbery Of a
Winston, N. c. bank. a Job whose
cleverness is surprising in view
Of the fact that the gang is mean
and murderous rather than brainy.
It does, however, leave clue in
the form Of a Maryland license
tag whose first three figures are
109-, which gives the police some
thing to work on.
While the police of Washington
and the three states are following
this evidence to whatever end 1t
may lead, the gang pulls its in
spired job, the one calculated to
put it in the big time. This is the
hold up Of a mail truck in Rich
mond which. the gangs intel
Iigence has it, is carrying 13 bags
Of money totaling two million
dollars.
The gangs intelligence is abb
correct in every respect
out one. the fact that the tip off
man neglected to say the two
is in shredded money on
its way to be burned in an official
incinerator. The tipster gets shot
to death for this mistake but the
gang is knocked off balance
sufficiently by the blunder to start
falling apart.
1t is finally brought to book-a
book full of murder, robbery and
other charges-when the widow
of one of the slain mobsters
to break away. When
they invade a Richmond hospital
to kill her, after merely wounding
her in first attempt, Lagenza
and his henchman walk into
Truscott's neatly set trap.

Other people, however, are moi
likely to find much. if anything
in the comedy to fill their souls
with delight. 1t is a pretty foolish
script and without Miss Mains
saving presence it wouldn't even
make good mandolin picks.
She is cast as rough and
ready gal of the old West, who has
kept her bag packed, ready to
depart the old West, for several
decades-ever since the late Mr.
O'Malley, while suffering the de-
lusion that he could fly. took off
from a high cliff Tapping his ell
bows. Her opportunity arrives in
the form of a $50.000 radio jack
pot and she takes off for New
York.
En- route she encounters a hero
she has met in the pages of detec-
tive story magazines, a crime-
solving Chicago attorney named
Malone. This boy is just the type
you have every right to expect in
the fiction of Craig Rice, who
collaborated with Stuart Palmer
on the original story. He makes
SIS. .000-a-year and is continually
in hook. he sleeps on slab in the
city morgue on occasion. he drinks
constantly and he goes on the
make for every girl he sees the
moment he sees her. He is sup
posed to be witty and appealing in
his carefree boyish way. but max
ing him either of these things is
beyond the capabilities Of James
Whitmore.

would be beyond the capabilities
of Sir Ralph Richardson.

Cochran's portrait of him

same goes for Robert Webber

Apart from Miss Grey as the dame
who dares to say she worked or

The G,adGe Roele4
By Mildred Kirkpatrick

Do you remember when the Draft began before World War II? There were farewell parties, dinners, gifts, and a crowd at the station to "see the boys off"
 It has begun again. Next Mon- day afternoon, five of our boys are going again. These are only the first contingent. Every month will see a few going, but five seems rather large num- Der for our population.
 These are younger brothers of those who went before. They attended the farewells of their brothers Are they to be left alone, ignored, or forgotten, just to get out of town by themselves, without any acknowledgement from the town?
 No doubt there will be some private parties for them, indi- vidually, but it seems only fit ting that some public acknoWl- edgement should be made these youngsters. say this, not be- cause one of these first boys is my own son-he does not like parties-but because it is the beginning of continuing thing.
 Editorial comment over the country is noting the absence of any feeling or patriotic enthus- iasm during this draft. The in- ductees themselves, go into the service u c t a n ly, feeling cheated and with low morale. Part of that feeling may be due to the lack of interest at home Mrs. Bell, Clerk of the Local Board No. in Anchorage, re- marked that none of the Alaska cities are doing anything for the boys leaving home for the service, and said she thought it would be "so very nice' if they did. This has been brought up to various organizations about town, and many people agree that i've should do something, but as yet no one has come for ward with plan. The time is short. If we are going to do anything, somebody must start it soon I noticed work gang this morning, in which four out of seven men were quite young.

Evening clothes go on gala
spree. We suggest that unless it's
quite soiree you overlook wear
ing the almost "fairylike" ball
dresses that are guaranteed to
take you out of your everyday
world into one Of dreamlike splen-
dor Many of these dresses are
made up in the ARREST of fabrics
-mousselines, organizes, light
taffetas, fables, chiffons, organzas
and nets. Straplessness is used
a bit but newer looking are the
squared-of necklines with two to
three inch wide straps of the same
material. The sheath evening dress
looks a bit like its EOS original but
careful scrutiny uncovers the fact
that instead Of the drapery trail
ing in the back 1t has been moved
to the front and touches the floor.
The short evening gown is
gaining acceptance with one de-
signer, Pierre Balmain. who goes
far as to not include one long
floor-length gown in his collection.
In Paris accessories always
plant an important part in
the fashion picture Of every sea-
son. This Spring lots of white
starched items will be played up
on suits. coats. trims, etc. Basque
belts in patent leather, shoes Of
white suede with black patent
heels, long, thin necklaces and
carnations looking as If they just
came from the flower cart-are
new favorites.

Teachers who are rated accord
ing to the averages their classes
make in the subjects they teach
are unjustly rated and so is the
class. No average mark tells the
truth, so what good is it? More
heartache has been caused by this
stupid practice in the schools than
by any other form of educational
error.
There are always children at
the top of a class, in the middle
and at the foot, no matter how
good a child is in a subject, there
are others as good and better.
There must always be a head and
a foot to a class roll. Try as the
machine-minde may, a class is a
group Of individuals and do their
work as individuals.
When one child gets 100 per
cent and another gets so, who gets
