 Interviews were held at the Juneau office with 792 callers in person to the Board for as sistance on industrial, business and related problems.
 The Ala K a Development Board is proud to have played a part in many of these develop ments," the report asserts.
 "The greatest strides in the Territorys history, both econ omically and in terms of new population, have been made dur ing this period. Hundreds of new small businesses have been established Considerable new land has been opened to settle ment.

 The elderly man was in tie habit of visiting the cook shack of the newly activated construc- ton camp every morning for coffee On Tuesday morning, when he did not appear, the cook looked out, and seeing smoke coming from the cabin chimney, he did not go to in- vestigate, but when Anderson failed to visit during the day, his friend went to the cabin, and found him dead on his bunk. Local authorities were notified and the body removed to Sew ard. The coroner's jury was told that Anderson had appeared to be in good health on Monday night. He had stayed in the cook shack until 9 o'clock playing pinochle, and it was a shock to find him dead.

War. Plants Hunt
 For Quicksilver

With mercury occupying high position on the list of strategic and critical minerals required for defense, almost dozen U. s. met allurgical companies have written or telegraphed the Alaska Devel- opment Board during the past 30 days requesting information about potential sources of supply in the Territory.
 Mercury is another mineral for which the nation must depend upon foreign countries, mainly Italy and Spain, for supply. Inn ports furnish 90 per cent of dom- estic industrial requirements.
 Since January 1, prices for this vital metal have risen more than $1O0 per 176-pound flask. to an all -time high of $220-$230. Such premium market conditions offer an unprecedented opportunity for Alaska operators and prospectors interested in mercury production, the Board stated.
 No mercury was produced in Alaska during the 1850 season, owing to unfavorable markets. About 100 flasks were produced in 1949, and a similar amount during the previous year, at an average price of $8O per flask. <
 Operators and prospectors de. siring to contact firms interested in purchasing mercury from AL aska should write the Alaska De- velopment Board, Box 50, Juneau.

 The American note was handed to Soviet ambassador Panyushkin by Assistant Secretary of State George w. Perkins.
 Panyushkin told reporters he had received a reply on the Jap anese question. State Depart ment press officer Michael Me Dermott said that what he got was the American response to a note from Russia on May 7.
 While officials would not dis cuss the text pending publication, it was learned that 1t followed pre- cisely the line disclosed by Nc Dermott on May 8. At that time he described the Russian proposal as "mOckery" intended not to promote but rather to stall" a peace settlement with Japan.

General" COxey
 Of Coxey's Army Dies at Age of 97

MISSILLON, O., (P) - Gen eral" Jacob s. Coxey died Friday night, 57 years after his ragged army of unemployed marched into Washington and into the nations history.
 He was 97, and he spent more than tw0-thirds of that long life fighting for a losing cause-print- i1ig-press money the government could use without paying interest to banks.
 "Coxey'S army" set out from here in the spring of 1894 on a 35-day march to Washington. The objective was to get Congress to use the easy-money method for a giant road-building progam to ease the hardship brought on by the panic of 1893. The march failed. "a:
 But CoXey's belief in the ideas inspiring that march never wa vered. Only five weeks ago, on his birthday, he voiced once more his enthusiasm for money reform as the answer to the country'S economic troubles.

 "Yes," was the prompt reply, What game are you playing?"

spire the queen to give up seclu-
sion.
While the incident of 1.-The
Mudlark" script has a disposition
to run thin, it is full of memor-
able passages. The entry into
! the castle, the chaos of the dining
room scene. the capture of the boy
and his enforced bath before the
whole servant staff, his visit to
the Throne Room and his sitting
on the royal dais itself, and sew
eral others are gems of sentiment
tai humor.
These are counterpointed nice
ly against the poignant scenes of
Victoria's stubbornness, Disraeli's
coldly logical arguments with her
and the big Parliament sequence
in which the mudlark's case makes
it possible for her reform program
to pass the Commons.
Best acting in THE Mudlark'
Is that Of young Ray in the title
role. Miss Dunno. padded into
late Victorian resemblance, is an
effective queen. Guinness is vir-
tually perfect Disraeli, and Finlay
Currie comes close to stealing the
comedy of the picture as the be-
loved John Brown.

boy has laid eyes on the Queens
image, he has fallen in love. He
knows nothing of Queens, nor of
mother love. nor indeed of any
thing. Nevertheless, he is willing
to risk his life for the treasure
when it is stolen and thrown into
the Thames. And, when he learns
that the Queen is a woman who
lives in hiding in Windsor Castle
20 miles up the river, there is
nothing for the obsessed lad to do
but visit her.
The rumpus he creates by pay
ing his unbidden call is enough
to shake the Empire before he
finally reaches the presence of
his beloved Queen, but the warm
dramatic point of this great love
story is that the lad finally meets
her.
That the action of '"The Mud
lark" is concentrated within the
confines of Windsor Castle is not
"a particular defect of the Plaza S
picture. After all, Windsor is not
only a large castle but represents
an area into which moviegoers are
seldom invited. Moreover, it is
the more dramatic for the fact
that it represents the place VIC
toria stubbornly refuses to leave
because there she lives with the
memories of her beloved Albert.

Divorce Suit Against Aide
70 0'Dwyer Brought 10 LighI
BY the Associated Press

DETROIT, Feb. 3.-A court
suppressed divorce suit against
Brig. Gen. Charles S. Ferrin, jr.
military attache to Ambassador
William O'Dwyer in Mexico City
was revealed here today by his
Wife's petition for increased tenn
porary support.
Mrs. Mera Ferrin of Bethesda,
Md, a Defense Department en-
ploye, filed the divorce suit here
last July but it was suppressed by
Circuit Court "due to the defend
ants responsible position and the
present international situation"
Mrs. Ferrin charges the general
with being indifferent, sullen and
morose." He has filed an answer
charging her with extravaganza
which, he said, impaired his pro-
fessional standing.
The petition which brought the
suit to light seeks an increase in
temporary monthly payments of
$50 month to Mrs. Ferrin for
support of their year-old son,
Charles. She asks $125 a month.

set a hearing for February 16.

slip past the most effective mill
tary guard is both exciting and
amusing but it is what happens
once he gets within the castle walls

the picture. Royal castles and
their staffs are totally unprepared
for mudlark's calls and the script
makes much of the comic con-

incident around which it is built
is dramatically touching and that
1t proceeds at a tempo usually
reserved for royal professions is
perhaps nothing to carp about.
For all the Victorian quality
OF its theme and the fact that
It's players are all English save
Miss Dunno, THE Mudlark" is an
american production. 1t bears the
hallmark of goth Century-FoX,
whose producer, Nunally john
son, went to England for the
castles and other indispensable
background of so English-spirited
a picture.
The story, written as we'll as
produced by Johnson, is an adap-
tation of Theodore Bonnet's tale
OF a small orphan whose spon-
taneous love for his Queen routed
Victoria out of Is years of deter
mined Seclusion. Since the lads
achievement in this respect was
far more than Disraeli, Parliament
and a disgruntled people had been
able to accomplish, it is quite a
historic incident.
1t has been photographed with
a becoming generosity and a
whimSically charming quality of
Victorian clutter.
