KIpLING FILM PLAYS NOW AT
 CAPITOL SHOW
'6unga Din" Stars Gary Grant, Victor MeLaglen,
 Douglas Fairbanks, Jr.

Romance and adventure, comedy and thrills emerge in whirlwind of impetuous. headlong action through cut the colorful scenes of "Gunga Din. sensational screen drama of British army life in India Th e picture opened yesterday at the Cap itol Theatre before an audience which responded enthusiastically to its vigorous appeal, voiced in the resonant crash of field guns, the dazzling glitter of polished steel as bayonets and native blades cross in deadly hand-t -to-hand fighting. all etched in unforgettable detail against the exotic atmosphere of the mysterious Orient.
 The RKO Radio feature is adapted from Rudyard Kipling's famous poem of the same title, its central figure being a bhisti, or regi- mental water carrier, who develops from a humble servant into heroic fighting man, and makes the su- preme sacrifice for the sake of his comrades. Dominating the adven- lures of Gunga Din are three ser geants, a strong-arm scrapping trio who meet an attack by tribesmen of the murderous cult of Thuggee as British military patrol advances from a British outpost.
 The plot includes a quest for secret treasure by the bhisti and his pals, a love in which one of the ser geants is enmeshed, and a finale which shows the imprisonment of the four adventurers by the native rebels, terminating with an assault by the white infantry on the Thug headquarters, and the sacrifice of his life by Gunga Din.
 Cary Grant, Victor McLaglen and Douglas Fairbanks Jr., fill the roles of Sergeants Cutter, McChesney and Ballantine, with Sam J.ffe cast as Gunga Din, and Joan Fontaine as the girl in the drama.

Congress Awakens!

1t took congress a long time to
awaken to the fact that our debt
breeding fiscal policy was leading
the nation rapidly toward bank
ruptcy. But, judging by the session
which has recently closed, the ma
jority of the lawmakers finally
awakened.
The action of congress in sharp
ly reducing appropriations all
along the line, and in fatty refus-
ing to pass more radical "emer-
gency" legislation, has earned that
body the gratitude of the thinking
people of this country. 1t has en-
couraged business, and given the
advocates of common sense. who
were long routed by the free spend
ers, a revival of optimism. And, to
some extent, it has cleared away
clouds that obscured the future.
All this will be true, of course
only if succeeding congresses hew
to the same line And, in addition
they must 60 farther 1t is not
enough to reduce one years deficit
as this congress did. Deficits mus
be eliminated, and government out

come. It is not enough to refuse
to levy new taxes-after a definite
program for orderly retirement Of
today's national debt has been put
into effect, means must be found
for cutting existing taxes.
So the economy activities of the
last congress must be regarded a:
work just well started. The fin.
ish is far in the future. Infinite
patience, labor and courage will be
needed to return this country tc
honest fiscal solvency. Wringing
the water out of our national fl.
nancial structure won't be an easy
or pleasant job - but it must be

Who Will The
Republicans Nominate?

Those who are interested in poll
tics - and that broad classification
must take in about 80 per cent of
the population are giving a good
deal of thought to whom the Re-
publicans will pick to run for the
presidency. That is a much more
important question now than it was
in l936-no expert gave the COP a
chance to win then, but most of the
experts think it has fair chance
now, if it can procure a pleasing
candidate and platform.
At the, moment, going by recent
polls, Tom Dewey, racket-buster
extraordinary, is far in the lead
some As per cent of the Republicans
queried by the Institute favor him.
Vandenberg and Taft are running
second and third. Then, far down
the list on a percentage basis, come
Hoover, Landon and Borah.
Interesting point is a strong in
crease in support for Vandenberg.
Obvious reason for that are his vic
tories in the last congress. He led
the successful fight against amend
ing the neutrality act. and was a
big factor in beating the Florida
ship canal project. And he has
long advocated denunciation of the
1911 U. S.-Japanese trade treaty
a step taken by the state depart
ment few weeks ago. He was al
so much in the public eye because
of his activity in support of various
amendments to the social security
act.
OF course, public support doesn't
necessarily assure candidates
nomination. Both parties are still
dominated by political machines
which think much of their power
and perpetuation and little of pub
lie desires. The machines aren't so
powerful as in the 20's, when dying
Boies Penrose had no difficulty in
forcing the Republicans to nominate
obscure Senator Harding, but they
still control lot of jobs ard they
are force to be reckoned with.
However, if a candidate for either
party's nomination is able to enlist
enough public enthusiasm the ma
chimes don't like to take the risk of
fighting him.
