One of the strangest arguments in
movie annals is raging currently on
the Paramount lot, already postpon-
ing that studios start OH its fourth
version of The Virginian" by eight
days.
The row centers around Joel Nc
Crea and his portrayal of the title
role. In the Owen Wister story and
in all previous movies the Virginian
has been forced to round up mis- best
pal Steve and hang him for cattle
rustling. Gary Cooper did it and
SO did other Virginians Of the past,
but McCrea rebels.
In sharp contrast to the attitude
of Boyer. MacMurray and other ro-
mantle heroes, McCrea believes he
shouldn't dare risk his reputation
with his following by performing
such q cruel act as hanging Steve
The star is firm in his belief that a
typed hero should stay typed and
not stop to unsympathetic deeds.
If Steve were played by just any
actor it might be different, but
Sonny Tufts is down to enact it and
McCrea realizes that Sonny has q
long and adoring fan public of his
own.
killing off Tufts" said Joel,
would just about kill of yours
truly
It's McCrea's idea that the famous
yarns ending should be SO rewritten
that Steve makes his escape. Para
mount has two other choices: 1t can
get new boy to take Joel's place
or 1t can shelve the whole business

NO RUSH TO PAY TAXES
Big Checks From Major Factories Not Received
 Says MCKeOn

Naugatuck. July 28-No rush to pay property taxes has thus far oc- cured, Tax Collector Patrick F. McKeon said today. As this is the final week for such payment a rush was expected Interest charges will be added after July 3l.
 Many property holders paid their taxes late in June or early in July and MT. McKeon feels that these early payments are the explanation for the lack of a tax rush this week.
 The fact that most residents are earning good wages puts them in a position to pay their taxes early and quite a few also paid the tax due next Dec. 3l.
 The big checfls from major fac- tories here have not yet been re- ceived, MT. McKeon said, but he ex- poets these by Saturday. Monday is the final days for payment of the July l9-mill levy before interest is added.

Naugatuck, July 28.-Cpl. Frank Furs, former Naugatuck high school athlete now with the invading forces in France, wrote his parents, MT. and Mrs. Julius Furs of Crown street, recently that the invasion doesn't deter American soldiers from enjoying an occasional game of baseball.
 Cpl. Furs, who is with an artillery unit, wrote that his outfit has played several games in which he participated. At Naugatuck high he was a shortstop on the baseball team and a member of the cham pionship basketball team.
 The game is a welcome relaxa- ton after the grimmer task of war Cpl. Furs said, He wrote his unit recently partook of white bread and milk for the first time in a month as their mobile kitchen unit finally caught up with them.
 A brother, Sgt. Edward Furs, who also played on the Naugatuck high school nine, wrote his AAP unit in England had played a number of baseball games and added there are a lot more flying baseballs" in the air in that vicinity than flying bombs.
