Once again goth Century Fox has delved into rich lore Of a great American tradition and has come up with that is at once a great, heart warming experience as well as trump of thrilling exciting en- tertainment. Gloriously filmed in Technicolor, Home In Indiana, which opened yesterday at the Loew Poli theater. is an utterly welcome seouea to 20th's two memorable ex- cursions into the romance and drama of horse racing. Kentucky and Maryland" both of which this new film surpasses in breathtaking beauty. dramatic Impact and stir ring action. Featuring Walter Bren- nan, Ion McCallister, Jeanne Grain Charlotte Greenwood. June Haver and sn outstanding supporting cast the picture is based on the cele- brated Saturday Evening Post ser- ial. "The Phantom Filly." by George Agnew Chamberlain.
 Home In Indiana" tells its beau tiful story of spirited youth, lovely women, fast horses and proud men against brilliantly colorful bacK. around of county fairs and the great "apple pie" country in the most dazzling beautiful Technicolor this review has ever seen. Walter Bren- nan gives what is easily his most outstanding character portrayal to date. His role-that of Thunder" Bolt, the proud horse trainer whose shattered dreams are revived by a young and iInpetuous boy end a ',secret" Filly-is tislor.made to the three time Academy Award winner who plays 1t with deep nderstand. ing and warmth. Tn other important roles. three comparative newcomers to the screen provide one of the most refreshing treats of the year. Lon MeCallisteT whose performance as "California" in Stage Door Can" teen" marked him as a truly eXclt' ing discovery. firmly establishes nus right to stardom with his winning portrayal of Sparke. the boy Whoo has SO much to learn women ano horses. Jeanne Grain is utterly en- chanting as the girl whose problem is to get sparkee to consider neg as more than Q mere pal, while ,jurle Haver does a wondeFful JoD ID completing the triangle. Judging from their performances in Home In Indiana" we are likely to see nauch more of Miss Grain and Hayer On the screen. It's really grand en- tertalnment, g delightful tonic sos these times that shouldndt ee missed. 4.

waterburys delegates to the Fifth Congressional convention scheduled to be held in Torrington. Monday nizht will meet in caucus shortly before convention time to determine their ballotlng procedure at the meeting.
 1t seemed likely, at this time, that some compromise candidate may be injected into the picture depending primarily upon the display ot strength shown by any one of the four candidates, following the first balloting.
 What has amounted to virtual rec pudiation of the candidacy of Atty, Michael Biansfield, Waterbury, was expressed yesterday by Mayor John s. Monagan in a statement In which he declared that ''he did not espouse Mir. Blansfield's personal fight" with the C. I. O. but declared that hiS expression was a personal" one and vas not necessarily the consensus of the entire delegation. Political observers have considered this as a complete disavowal of the hopes of Blansfield which some point to being political maneuvering' hay ing the appearance of convention motives within its contents.
 Meanwhile support for w. Harry Evrnes. Watertown candidate. seemed to continue to pick up with considerable encouragement being given the watertown mans efforts from delegates down thorugh the lower valley.

Board Sets Hay
Harvest Waqe

Hay harvesting wage rates as
represented being in effect in the
valley during 1943 will be accept
able in 1914 and are the rates being
re recommended that the State Wage
Board establish as ceiling, Charles
Small. secretary cf the USDA War
Board said Saturday.
The War Board Thursday took
steps TO prevent any spiralling CT
pay. when from present indications
it appeared that excessive wages
were in prospect. The board is
preparing a formal application to
the state board to establish a
specific ceiling
Small said the general prevailing
rates for harvesting last year were
represented to be:
Cutting, per acre, 75c (contracD
CT 35c Qabor rate.
Raking, per acre, Sl00 contract,
or 40c Qabor rate)
Baling, per ton, S3.75 contract, ,
or 35-40c Qabor rate).
Piling, contract rate-,08c per
bale to June /, 09c per bale after
June l; Labor rate-.05c for total
labor tc June /, 06c for total labor
after June l.
Recent discussions have indicat-
ed the above scale was equitable
and could suffice for 1914 if not ex-
ceeded 1t is not the intention of
the War Food Administration to
arbitrarily establish wage ceilings
for all operations. 1t will be the
policy. however, to establish such
programs where it is deemed neces-
sary to keep wages from rising to
unjustified heights"
Small said the board took this
action after it was learned that
the cooperative efforts of all con-
cerned 10 set up unofficial fair rates
had broken down.
