Just how authentic it is, we would
not know, but Home in Indiana"
more than implies that the sport of
Indiana thoroughbred kings is not
the most amiable, gentlemanly thing
that man has yet developed. A
ruthless owner, 1t seems, will do
virtually anything to win a race,
inspired by a vanity that stops at
nothing, including mayhem.

matte spectacle of the many actual

suggestion Of open spaces and clean,
fresh air. To the task of making it
thus, the studio assigned such of its
younger players as Lon McAllister,
June Haver and Jeanne Grain, q
trio which profits by the support of
such substantial oldsters as Walter
Brennan and Charlotte Greenwood.
Home in indiana" has something
OF the charm of the family album
about 1t.
"This," it sort of says, lis Sparky
Thornton, an orphan kid, who was
crazy about horses and vice versa.
He was taken in as the ward of
elderly, bitter J. r. CThunder) Bolt,
a broken breeder of fine trotters,
and almost before old Thunder
realized what was happening, the
Kid had re-establiShed him as the
kingpin among harness horsemen."
In quite the same lackadaisical
fashion, the story deals with the
numerous others, presenting them
against some of the most noStal-
gically appealing background the
movies have offered this season. The
general effect it creates is that of
giving you piece of good, if pos
sibly obsolete Americana, with the
possibility of its obsolescence height
ening the poignancy Of the drama.
Young McAllister, who made his
hrst impression upon moviegoers as
the young soldier in stage Door
Canteen," Is a quiet youngster who
should do much to restore your
fading confidence in the possibility
that cinema juveniles can be sooth-
ing on the nerves. He keys the
performances of the other juveniles
In the cast nicely this side of the
berserk level to which numerous
Others probably have accustomed

The climactic sequences of Home
In Indiana" are rather vivid things
to look at dealing as they do with
some of the hottest racing this side
of today's Hambletonian. The cast
sheet does not say who is the sorrel
1llly in the heroine's role. but she
Is competent actress and a sufn-
GENTLY beautiful animal to become a
rival of Twilight Tear, current
sweetheart of American horse lovers.
AS the quietly reckless youngster
who contrives a means of restoring
old Thunder Bolt to his place in the
racing sun, McAllister finds time
for numerous sidelines essential to
broadening the drama of Home in
Indiana" Rather conventionally,
but not necessarily to the disadvan-
tage of the picture, he gets himself
involved in a nice triangle with a
couple of young females who live on
the adjoining, highly successful
thoroughbred farm. One of them

Naming Of Inauguration
| Committee Is Asked

A reminder to Washington that
it soon will be making plans fol-
another presidential Inauguration
came yesterday in a resolution in
troduced by Chairman Byrd of the
Senate Rules Committee for ap-
pointment of the customary Con-
gressional Committee on arrange
ments.
The resolution, which went to the
Rules Committee for study, pro-
vides: That a joint committee con.
sisting of three Senators and three
Representatives, to be appointed by
the President of the Senate anc
the Speaker of the House of Repre-
sentatives, respectively, is authorized
to make the necessary arrangements
for the Inauguration of the Presi-
dent-elect of the United States on
the Goth day of January, 1945."
If the war is still going on next
January, it is likely to be a deter
mining factor in the scope and ex-
tent Of the inaugural ceremonies
regardless of who is elected. But
even simple Inauguration calls fol-
certain preliminary arrangements
for the administering of the oath
at the Capitol, and those plans
would be supervised by the joint
committee proposed in the Byrd
resolution.

The Nays giant training sta

near Williamsburg, Va, will be con-
verted to general service, probably in
July.
Disclosing this yesterday, the
Navy gave no indication of the pur-
poses for which the camp will be
used after $4,000 men now receiving
training there complete the basic
courses.
The camp had accommodations
for $4,000 officers and men when 1t
was established more than a year

of the construction battalions that
since have followed the fighting
fronts building air fields and other
installations throughout the world.

I'VE probably can go home. I have

In the past, Republicans gener-
ally have contended Congress should
remain on call, but they agreed Il
"a recess last summer, with the pre-
viso that leaders could summon
members If an emergency arose.

Something Of the same nature
may be attempted this year, bui
most members will want a vacation
extending through the November 1
election. The seats of all House
members and "a of the SO Senators
are at stake.
Plans for summer adjournment
apparently exclude action on any
major labor draft legislation, such
as the national service bill offered

of the problem may be attacked.

Senator Barley said there seemed
little doubt that the troublesome
food subsidy issue would be raised
in connection with the proposed
years extension in the life of the
Office of Price Administration. Sen
ator Taft of Ohio, chairman of the
Steering COMMITTEE, said
that group would meet after the
Easter recess to discuss Republican
amendments, but 1t has not been
determined if a subsidy ban will be
proposed.

Extension of lease-lend authority
is expected to be accomplished
without too much pickering, and
there seemed little opposition In
either chamber to an increase In
the statutory debt limit from 21O,-

The Senate probably will tie It,
self into knot shortly after the
