on the screen, never touches a

I'm not drinking man in pri-
vate life" Homolka said. "But
in the movies the wages of sin
is jobs, as far as I'm concerned"
And money is money, as long
as the part is good, whether he
has to be drunk or sober.
Homolka currently is playing
Paulette Goddard's drunken father
in Columbia's movie version of
the long-run Broadway hit play,
"Anna Lucasta." He appears as a
sodden sot in this flick.
In his last screen appearance,
he played the alchoholic Uncle
Chris in 81 Remember Mama -
He was nominated for an Acad-

"The best acting performances
come through the imagination, .
Homolka said. "a teetotaler can
give perhaps the best impersona-

interpret the emotions and re-

Florida State Chamber of Com

that congressional committees

and on february 3. addressed a
letter to each member of Flori-
da'S congressional delegation
urging a stand against hiking the
present Accent minimum wage
more than 10 or Is cents, and
against federal legislation that
would nullify Florida's right-to-
work constitutional amendment.
The latter is proposed in a bill
that would substitute the old
Wagner labor law for the Taft
Hartley Act.
The two members of the en-
gress who have replied to CO.

of a" tendency to rush those bills

In his letter to Florida'S con-
