workmen hurting loaves of bread

Actors had their choice of being
carried up mountainsides by the
mules that packed the equipment
or wearing out their wardrobe shoes.
Most chose the latter, especially
after one mule rolled off the narrow
trail.

WIFE OF JOHN [.
 LEWIS IS DEAD
Passed Away Early Today at Her Home in AIexan-
 dria, Virginia

washington, Sept. 0.--(UP)-M Myra Bell Lewis, wife of President John L. Lewis of the United Mine Workers of America (CIO) died early today at her home in nearby Alexandria, Va.
 News of her death which occur red at 2:40 a. m, was announced at the mine workers union headquar- ters.
 Mrs. Lewis, who was 62 last May l8, had been i'll for seven months and had undergone series of major operations at Johns Hopkins hoSpi- tal in Baltimore.
 A UNIV spokesman said her ill., ness never was satisfactorily diag- nosed.
 Mrs. Lewis was born at Stafford, Monroe County, Ohio. She was the daughter of pr. J. c. F. Bell, coun- try physician.
 She was married to Lewis at Lu- cas, Ia, June 5, 1907.
 Her husband and Kathryn Lewis, one of their three children, were at her bedside when she died.
 A son, John l.. Lewis, Jr., a med ical student at Johns Hopkins Uni yersity, also survives. A third child, Margaret, died several years ago. Funeral services will be held Satur- day tt Springfield, H., where the Lewis formerly lived. Burial will be at the Oakridge cemetery, Spring field,

ofacer.
 The American nominee probably would be General George o. Mar shall, one of "Pershings boys" who was jumped from brigadier general in 1889 to four star rank as chief of staff.
 If Marshall were moved to the western European theater he prob ably would be succeeded as chief of staff by Lieut.. Gen. Brehon p. Somervell, West Point honor man who now heads the vital service of supply. Marshall is 8 graduate ot Virginia Military Institute.
 Next in Line
 Next in line after Marshall for the job of leading United Nations army into Europe is Lieut.. Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, General Ike" who now commands American forces in the European theater in. cluding sufch of the American navy as is based there.
 Nothing has been heard here in official circles in echo of the clamor of some months ago to put General Douglas Macarthur in charge of the war.
 Supreme command is touchy sub- ject and one which could create great antagonis1n between British and American service men and civilians. But a decision for or against will have to be made before this war ends and there is reason to believe that American claims on the pest will be presented to Presi- dent Roosevelt with vigorous cita- ton of reasons why Marshall or Eisenhower should get the job. It would be MT. Roosevelt's job to convince the British.
 If MT. Roosevelt has approached the explosive subject with his ad- viserS, none of that tight little cir cle has permitted that fact to leak But in his flreside chat review of the war situation there was a refer ence that suggests the matter is on his mind.
 "The war will finally be won," he said, ''by the coordination of all the armies, navies and air forces of the United Nations operating in unison against our enemies"
 Real Coordination
 MT. Roosevelt and Churchill are the principal coordinators as of now although there is combined stafi office here representing the UnitcS Nations. The Presider : cautious reference to unity of command might have passed without partic- ular notice but for a statement by Churchill to the House of Commons yesterday. The prime minister strongly hintd at an early second front and had this to say:
 "Continued efforts are being made by us and our Allies to unify and concert the command and action of the United Nations, particularly their leading members. These ef- forts are being made despite all difficulties which geography can ir1- pose"
 It is realized here that more than merely casual reasons would have

to be advanced and be made plausi- ble to the British public before an American offlcer could hope to be accepted as the commander of a joint operation in the European theater. And there might be bitter personal disappointments involved. Both the British and American high command has been shaken up from time to time in this war.
 Admiral Husband E. Kimmel and Mai. Gen. Walter c. Short were sum- marily retired after the disgraceful success of Japan's surprise attack on Pearl Harbor. Admiral Harold R. Stark, then chief of naval opera tions, shortly was shifted to con- paratively obscure post as head of our naval units based on Great Bri- tain. British experience has been even more bitter. Top British mii- tary leaders who were marked in 1889 as the defenders of the Empire have pretty largely disappeared from view and Churchill explained yes- terday that he had just performed another unhappy chore of that kind.
