"HOMECOMING"” IS FEATURE SHOWN, CAPITOL THEATRE That rare thing—a stellar cast and sensitive direction, combined |with a fine: script and astute show- manship—has trought to the screen powerful moving drama in Homecoming,” now on view at the Capitol Theatre with Clark Gable,| Lana Turner, Anne Baxter and Juhn' Hodiak as its arresting principals. * Based /cn an original story h)l Sidney' Kingsley, the new MGM idrama concerns two medical men, one the smug, overly-successful mid- | western surgeon Ulysses Johnson, | played by Gable; the other the vis- ionary and altruistic bacteriologist i Robert Sunday, enacted by Hodiak. | Anre Baxter and Lana Turner| have important parts in this drama. As the extra feature there is “Democracy’s Diary,” the behind- the-scenes story of the free press. In no other country is newspaper reading such a constant widespread, taken-for-granted habit. Nowhere else are people so addicted to in- formation and entertainment via the printed word. Every day the world comes thumping on the American doorstep, and nothing that happens anywhere remains long a secretl from American newspaper readers. Typical of the American press is :the renowned New York Times, one fof the oldest, most respected news- ipapers in the world. - - GOP CELEBRATES LINCOLN BIRTHDAY | AT ANNUALDINNER| “Cpeecnes are not in order,” commented Toastmaster Howard D.| i Stabler. “But,” he continued, “this | {is a good old-fashioned Republican | | get-together, commemorating the! i great founder of the Republican | ' Party, Abraham Lincoln.” { ‘Whereupon, Saturday nigat's din- | Iuer at the Salmon Creek Country | ! Club being in the nature of a; { political rally, Toastmaster Stab- | lef, Pirst Division Committeeman, called upon GOP members. | | All except Albert White, Coun- sel for the Republican Party in | Alaska, whe made the keynote ad- ! dress, gave brief remarks. A | number of them quoted from Lin- coln’s noted sayings which they | considered appropriate to the oc- lcuslon and the circumstances. 1 “Lincoln said, ‘A house div-' | ided against itself shall fall’,”, commented White, in a talk which stressed unity on the party front. | . He reported on the recent meet- | |ing of the Republican National | Committee in Omaha, stressing the ability of Chairman Rufus Scott, ;and the offer of Senator Capehart Aof Indiana to serve as “senatnr, | fror1 Alaska,” should Alaskans ! write him of their problems. i ‘White listed party contributions by divisions, naming some of the larger contributors. i Regarding selection of a nation- | al committeeman to succeed the late E. A. Rasmuson, White said [ the rules “plainly state that only j the National Committee can re- place him, and the only way they can do it is on recommendation of the Territorial Central Commit- tee.” Among the 96 persons attending, these were called on for brief re- marks: Senate President Gunnard M. Engebreth, Senators Anita Gar- nick and Charles D. Jones of Nome, THE DAILY ALASKA Championship Hoop Squads Now fo Meel NEW YORK, Feb. 14.—®—The Nation'’s three top basketball teams will wind up under one roof next month if the National Invitation Tournament gets its way. The NIT. hopes to corral not only Kentucky and St. Louls but also Oklahoma A. and M. These chree clubs rank 1-2-3 in the As- ociated Press poll. St. Louis (16-1) is the defending champion. Kentucky's Wildcats (19-1) have shown every sign of wanting revenge for their only loss angd St. Louis is the team that beat them. The Aggies (15-3) hold the only decision over St. Louis. The NIT. opens in Madison Square Garden here March 12. Al- though nothing official has been forthcoming from the invitation committee, it’s known that St. Louis is expected back. And the Billikens' return is figured to bring Kentucky, the defending N.C.A.A. champion, into the fold. The Aggies are another problem. They'll be asked, all right, but whether they will come remains in doubt. With the cream skimmed off, the rest of the field is wide open. - UCLA, USC KEEP AT TOP, 50. DIV.
