for Disney is. of all fictional
creatures, 'Pollyanna."
The combination of Hayley
and Eleanor H. Porter's "glad
girl" arrive today at Leow's Pal
ace and it could hardly be more
hypnotic. Its effect is finally
to prove that Disney can make
a live action movie as fascinat-
ing as the most glittering of
his fairy tales.
This is true from whatever
angle one looks at ''Pollyanna,"
the cynical one that Miss Por-
ter's 1918 best-seller has been
turned by time into a parody
of its Victorian treacle, or sim
ply as a baroque period piece
with a kind Of honest, conta-
gious nostalgia. The explana-
ton for this is Miss Mills
performance, one of those
achievements in magic that
may very well have had Disney
taking notes on how this sort
Of thing should be done.
There are undeniably things
a 13-year-old genius can teach
even a genius of Disney's own
age. This one is merely among
the most surprising.
= + y
David Swift who wrote and
directed Disney's "Pollyanna,"
has not updated its story. nor
diluted the originals 1000
proof sentimentality.
In a lush, Technicolor Vic
torian setting. he leaves it as
the tale of an orphan whose
radiance keeps her lettering
constantly on the brink of in
sufferable priggishness, but
without ever toppling over. In
this long stretch of acrobatics,
spritelike Hayley has the sup
port Of such adult make-be-
LEVERS as Jane Wyman, as
Aunt Polly, Richard Egan. Karl
Maiden, Nancy Olson and
Adolphe Menjou among others.
They enter perfectly into the
spirit of Miss Porter's over
powering gladness to be alive
and only a churl could resist
their enthusiasm for Pollyan-
mas cause.
AS its heroine, Miss Mills
takes over the picture imme-
diately. She arrives, motherless,
fatherleSS, and dressed out of
the missionary barrel" to be
met at the train, not by rich,
dour Aunt Polly, but by the
latter's maid. Is she disap-
pointed at this sign of Aunt
Polly's aloofness?
Not Pollyanna. Instead she
is ecstatic to make a new
friend, just as she is ecstatic
with the remote attic room to
which she Is assigned. And, as
she is later to be dizzy with
happiness, with both chilling
Aunt Polly who owns the town
and all the townspeople, surlily
plotting to dispute Aunt Polly's
title to the place. And the tight
to run it on her own terms
which. come right down to it,
are those Of a waspish spinster.
= A&
The charm Of "Pollyanna" is
to be found in Hayley's i'm
agination, her sense that it is
. fun to play game that there
once might have been a world
like Miss Porter's. The specta-
tor, she suggests, doesn't really
have to believe it, but he will
have a better time for going
along with the idea for a little
while.
Director Swift naturally
makes his own vital contribu-
tion to this notion, too. He
keeps his glad girl" rushing
from one narrative detail to
the next. softening up Aunt
Polly, patching up the romantic
disaster between her and hand
some DR.. Chiffon, uncovering
the heart of gold in misanthro-
pie old Mr.. Pendergast, and
bringing light into every other
dark corner Of community and
personal life.

PribiIof Seal Harvest Is Only 34,9O9 Pelts

SEATTLE, lR-America's har- vest of fur seals in the Pribilof Islands has taken another major setback, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service reported.
 This years harvest totaled only 34 ,9O9 pelts, according to Samuel J. Hutchinson, regional director of the Fish and Wildlife Services Bureau of Commercial Fisheries.
 This is little more than one fourth of the record 123,000 skins taken in 1856. Fish and Wildlife Service crews took 90,000 skins in 1858 and 58,250 last year.
 With seal pelts retailing at about $100 apiece, the decline in the Pribilof seal herds represents financial loss for Alaska as well as a scientific problem for the American government. Scientists are not yet positive what has caused the decline, but they tend now to theory that infestations of hookWorms are weakening the seal pups so that the pups die when they leave their rookeries for the sea.
 Under the international treaty that helped rebuild the seal herds and protects them from being killed at sea, Is per cent of the proceeds will go to Canada, and Is per cent will go to Japan. The remainer previously was held by the US. With statehood for AL aska, it now gets this share.

Demos Stop Watch Nixon Presiding Over the Senate
H8RR-

WASHINGTON, R - Senator Stephen M. Young D-Ohi0 told the Senate Tuesday he used stop watch to figure out that Vice President Nixon spent precisely two hours, 55 minutes, 40 seconds in the presiding officers chair during about 5712 hours of Sen ate session last week.
 He said this showed that "the honor and responsibility of pre- siding have been relinquished by the Vice President" during all but 5.1 per cent of that weeks ses- Sions.
 Young said Nixon was not to be condemned on the basis of such statistics, but that the Con- stitution states clearly "the Vice President shall preside" over Sen ate meetings.
 His speech drew swift Repub- lican retorts that the figures merely show that Nixon, the Re publican presidential nominee, in stead of taking the "easy way" of serving out his term by sitting in an arm chair through Senate ses- sions, has played an active role in foreign and domestic policy making.
 The Republicans also brought up the number of Senate roll call votes missed by Sen. John Ken nedy, the Democratic standard bearer, in this Congress session.
 Neither Nixon nor Kennedy was in the chamber to hear the debate. Sen. Gale McGee D-Wyo) sat silently in the presiding of ficer'S chair
 Sen. Kenneth Heating R-NY) told the Senate has was aston ished" the Ohio senator would make such point of Nixor1's work ing hours.
 Heating said there had been I49 roll call votes thus far in the 1860 Congress session and Kennedy answered only 29.

FISHING STUDY FINDS NO GREAT POTENTIAL IN VICINITY OF NOME


 The Alaska Department of Fish and Game exploratory fishing study conducted near Nome by C. L. Jensen during the past two weeks did not reveal any com mercial concentrations of fish in the vicinity of Nome but did dis cover some oceanographic infor nation that may explain their absence this time of year.
 The study was hampered con- siderably by rough water but the research group was able to com plete a number of otter traWl drags within 20 miles of Nome all of which produced only star fish and a few shrimp.
 Bathythermograph readings in- dicated that the Norton Sound in the Nome area was quite warm with surface temperatures of over so degrees and bottom tempera- ures of over 50 degrees. Since the normal bottom temperatures would be less than 40 degrees the unusually warm water may have caused the bottom fish to move out of the shallow seas into deep CT and colder water.
 Jensen emphasized that because of limitation in time and equip ment this study was preliminary reconnaissance and only indicated that for this year in August there probably were not any commer- cial concentrations of bottom fish within 20 miles of Nome.
 It is known that fish and crab are taken by local fishermen dur ing the winter and a complete study covering the Norton Sound conducted during all of the sea sons should be made before any conclusions on the availability of commercial fish, Jensen stated Numerous plankton hauls taken during the recent study did show the local waters to be very rich in these tiny organisms which form the basic food supply for all fishes.
 This country is long overdue on basic fisheries and Oceanoeraphic information particularly in the Boring Sea coastal area and the need for studies in the Norton Sound is part of the general need for basic information.
 MT. Jensen is in charge of Ex- ploratory fishing and fish tech nology studies for the Alaska Dept of Fish and Game, and was assisted by Dr. Vim. A. Smoker, chief of the Biological Research Division. The tugboat Helen w" from Teller was chartered for the study. Her captain, Teddy Reed, and the crew. Gil Ozenna and Lloyd J. Elasanga, gave very val uable assistance to the study. The research was conducted with part of the special funds appropriated by the recent state legislature for exploratory fishing.
 Sen. Les Bronson, who was re- sponsible in large part for se- curing this study, said if he is returned to Juneau this fall he will work for a more compre- hensive study of the fish poten- tial in Norton Sound and the Bering Sea.
