seats in the next Congress as they
have now. and veritable miracle if
they could make any gains. 1t looks
now as though the Democrats will
increase their majority.
Although it is only mid-July and
the elections-eXcept for that in
Maine-do not come until November
g. the lines for the senatorial contests
have already been pretty well drawn.
1t is possible to say with some degree
of accuracy who will be the candi-
dates and to speculate on their
chances Of success.

been made in Florida. where Park

the Democratic nomination and is
assured reelection thereby; In Indi-

 These are the main characters in the Columbia-Lewis Milestone comedy hit, "The Captain Hates the Sea" which opens tomorrow at the Warner State theater. With Walter Connolly as the captain, the cast in the respective roles includes Victor McLaglen. Fred Heating, Helen Vinson, Alison Skipworth, Walter Catlett, John Gilbert and Wynne Gibson.

 Its Gift" reveals Fields. at the opening of the film, as the hen-pecked, inefficient manager of a grocery store whose home is such a crazy bedlam that he can neither eat, shave nor sleep in peace.
 He has one hope which he has cherished for years; to go out to California where they grow the or anges he sells, acquire an orange grove and watch the citrus fruit grow while he luxuriates on his back porch.
 When he gets an inheritance from his uncle, he buys the grove from an enterprising young sales man, who is in love with his daughter. bundles the family into the family chariot and begins the long trek westward.
 By a miracle, the family sur wives the peri1s and hazards of the their wild-eyed ride and arrive at the ranch to discover that it will not even grow cactus.
 - The ensuing events both funny and tragic lead to a happy ending when Fields finds a way to make it pay him a fabulous sum. How Well, see the picture and enjoy it. Performances tonight conclude the engagement, of "Babbitt" and "One Exciting Adventure.
