Harriet Craig,'
 Starring Crawford, Al Capitol Theatre

Joan Crawford has never looked more bewitching nor behaved with such lack of moral restraint = than in her present acid-etched per- formance of a fascinating woman, at war with everything and every one who stands in her way. The stars film, which arrives at the Capitol Theatre today. is titled Harriet Craig" Co-starring Wen dell Corey. Harriet Craig" is based on the famous Pulitzer Prize win ming play, "Craig's Wife" by George Kelly. The film is certain to be rated one of the five best pictures of the year.
 Essentially the emotionally-- charged examination of the com plex relations between a woman and her husband, Harriet Craig9 emerges as a magnificently con- ceived motion picture. Under Vim cent Shermans able direction, Miss Crawford dominates the screen in a glittering performance that WEI rank as the peak achievement of her career

Matanuska Valley farmers, living
 ln what some people have called the Dust Bowl of Alaska and fre- quently facing the threat of long dry spells, are showing an interest in handmade rain.
 Turning on the rain by artificial means has been proved feasible in some places but it is still far from an exact process. The rain makers haven't yet found way to put the
 water just where it is wanted or
 shut 1t off when the people dowr below begin to holler that's | enough"
 Iampering with the rain clouds, ln fact, can sometimes be almost as devastating as tampering with the atom
 The Dry Ice treatment for per suadlng clouds to turn loose their moisture is the older of two meth ods now used and was first tried by Dr. Vincent J. Schaefer of Ger eral Electric Company. In this method, particles or pel- lets of dry ice are sprayed into a cloud formation from an airplane. The moisture in the cloud is pre- cipitated almost at once and falls over limited area as rain, or some times as snow or hail. Users of the dry ice method have had trouble in accurately aiming their deluges and the rain they produce frequently misses the farm lands where it is wanted and falls on picnic grounds or baseball diam onds where it is unwelcome. Down in New Mexico a road builder is reported to have lost $50,O00 on cer- tain contracts as result of rain making experiments thereabout. The defects of this method may be cured in time by some sort of scientific instrument combining moisture measurement with a bomb sight.
 The Silver Iodide treatment of clouds, discovered by another Gen. eral Electric scientist, Dr. Bernard Vonnegut, has much more wide spread effect than the dry ice treat ment.
 While nobody knows for sure just how far the results may reach, it has been pretty well established that dosing a cloud with little silver iodide may affect weather over thousands and even millions of

Complete School Survey In Inferior And Westward

After completing work in the In terior and Westward on a Fedora school survey program, Herbert Hillerman, director, A. N. Eide and Robert Isaac, assistants, re- turned to Juneau last week
 Purpose of the survey is to t,mt inventory of present school facil- ities, buildings and equipment and to establish the present anc expected pupil load of the Terri torial schools.
 It is part of national pro- gram being carried out in the states and Territories to analyze community's ability to pay for it's schools maintenance or new construction and to establish what amounts might be . needed from the federal government for up keep of schools. p0
 The Alaska survey is working under the supervision of the Ter ritorial Department of Education but completed reports of the school situation in Alaska will be for warded to the U. s. Congress fol it's consideration.
 Hillerman, Isaac and Eide vis- ited Anchorage, Fairbanks, Nome and smaller towns such as Una laska, villages on the Kuskokwim Fort Yukon, Eagle and coast towns to the Westward rr
 Southeast Alaska will be cov- cred within the next month.

makers in particular will be likely have to be edited before publica- ton.
 Up Here In Alaska, so far as is known, there have been no exper- iments in rain making. But in much of the Interior the placer min- CTS as we'll as the farmers could frequently use more water than they normally receive during the summer months. A little extra rain now and then, judiciously laid down, would benefit both farmers and miners, help keep down the dust and curtail forest fires,
 The dry ice method may well be used to help in dropping water in certain areas, but in view of what has happened elsewhere, AL aska clouds should be doctored with silver iodide only after great deal of prayer, meditation. crossing of fingers and scientific. study of the subject. ~,4 .l. -rs
 Rain Making as science. art or business. has come to the attention of Congress. along with the sug- gestion that the rain makers ought to be placed under some sort of control.
 Perhaps they should be, but 1t bothers us a little that foremost among the departments putting in bid for the control authority is Alaska's ancient paternal guard ian, the Department of the h. terior
 We are not prepared at this time to state categorically that such control should not be vested in the Department of the Inter for. But Alaskans have been sup pliants to that department for far too long.
 We prefer to postpone thinking about that morning, perhaps not too distant, when an Alaska far mer or miner, needing little water for his crops or his sluice box, will have to put in call to Secretary Chapman at Wash ington: Please. Oscar, could you let us have a little shower snf rain this afternoon?"

MAY CLOSE ALASKA PENINSULA AREA

Although the Alaska Peninsula is having one of the best pink salmon runs in several years, it may be necessary to close the area for a time, Clarence Rhode, regional di- rector of the Fish and Wildlife Serv- ice said today
 Low water in the streams is the reason, Rhode said. The situation is especially noticeable at Deer Is- land, near Sand Point, on which one of the areas best pink salmon streams is located.
 Richard Shuman, fisheries man. agement agent, is at Deer Island now making check of escapement low water conditions.

square miles.
 The silver iodide may be sprayed into the clouds from a plane, or un- der certain conditions, from a mach inc on the ground. The process is known as seeding
 Dr. Irving Langmuir, the famous American scientist who was instru- mental in getting General Electric interest in rain making, started ex- perimenting with silver iodide at Socorro, New Mexico. in 1949.
 Heavy Rains began to fall in the Mississippi Valley soon after Dr Langmuir started factoring the clouds. When he cut down the seed- ing, the rains lessened.
 Then he started seeding on only two consecutive days each week the same days each week. Results were, to say the least, spectacular For as long as he continued that pattern, Buffalo, N. r., received IA times as much rain on Tuesdays as on Saturdays and Wilkes Barre, Pa., got AZ times as much rain on Tuesdays as on Saturdays.
 Ratios like those were reported from cities in an area of about a million square miles. Other exper- iments showed similar results. The odds against such things happen ing by chance. Dr. Langmuir cal- culated, were around two million to one.
 Some People were pleased with Dr. Langmuir's experiments and many people were not. Enthusiastic farmers in some places claim their lands have doubled in value as a result of man-made rain; other farmers in other place complain either that their lands have been robbed of natural rain rightfully theirs or that they have been de- luged with an over supply of wat CT.
 Back in Illinois and Indiana a good many farmers who have suf- fered damages from floods during the past four or five years blame the floods on the rain makers in New Mexico and their tampering with the weather although many of the floods happened before the sorcery ever got started.
 And what the people in Topeka and the two Kansas cities are say ing these days about rain makers in general and New Mexico rain

U. N. ADVANCE HEADQUAR- TIERS, KOREA, Aug. l = R = A lsouth Korean government spokes- | man said today United Nations forces should be kept in Korea for at least one year.
 The spokesman, Dr. Clarence
 Ryee, called for the immediate withdrawal of Chinese Commun-

 nation for the South Korean gov ernment, told newsmen: We don't want the United Ma tions forces to evacuate until the security of the Republic of ko-
 req is established, But we want
 the Chinese army to go. They
 have no business here. Ryee said the South Koreans could defend ourselves if we hao artillery and planes" We have the fighting spirit. ! he added.
 Ryee said about 250,000 men are available as troops but half are untrained and the other half had basic training of only one month The spokesman disclosed that

DefenSibIe Line Necessary, Says Secretary of 5faie

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1-aR-Sec- retary of State Acheson rejected flatly today the Communist proposal that a buffer zone be set up ir Korea along the 38th parallel.
 Acheson told a news conference the Reds wish to go back to a line over which they launched an un- provoked attack-to start the Ko- rean war-and he said that is not acceptable.
 He added that Secretary of De- fense Marshall has made it en- tirely clear that any demarcatiOn line must be defensible line. Events have shown, Aches0n said, that this is not true of the 38th parallel.
 He declared that the talks now under way at Kaesong are essen tially military talks, but that the Communists have been trying tc use them for a political purpose.
 By this he apparently meant that instead of being willing to stop the fighting where the armies now are and where both sides would have strong defense posi- tions, the Reds have tried to get all of North Korea again in Com munist control while leaving the South to the Allied forces.
 This would be a return to the situation which existed before the Communist assault last summer.
 At the. moment, Acheson said truce talks seem to be stalled. The negotiators have had several fruit less meetings.
 Acheson also said that Gen. Mat thew B. Ridgeway and his delega- tion to the Kaesong meetings have handled their share of the negotia- tions forcefully and soundly.
