There were two worn iron beds,

WITH THE UNITED STATES
ARMY IN FRENCH MOROCCO
Dec. 2l.--In a colorful ceremony
Older than Christendom and in sur
roundlngs that were old when the
United States was born, American
officers were honored guests yester-
day at the climax of the years most
important religious festival in the
palace grounds Of the Sultan of all
Morocco.
Behind mounted mountain tribes
men dressed and armed as they had
been for centuries stood trim young
United States soldiers beside the
light and medium tanks Of the
Western task force.
MAJ. Gen. George S. Patton, jr.,
commander OF the force: Gen All
guste Nogues, resident French gen.
eral, and members Of their STATS
were welcomed by Sultan Sidi Mo-
BANNED, head of the Sherifian en-
pire and sultan OF both Spanish and
French Morocco.
The words of Gen. Patton and
Gen Nogues were translated from
English To French for the sultans
chief Of protocol. as one doesn't talk
TO the sultan directly.
Sultan Receives Gifts.
Then the words were translated
into Arabic, for the sultan is ad-
dressed only in Arabic, even though
he can speak French and English
fiuently.
After the palace ceremony In
throne room with the tiles. windows
and rugs you read about. the guests
left and walked slowly through the
panoply OF the Moorish world to
tents in great grass field outside
the palace, where the sultan re-
ceived gifts from every one of his
tribes, rich or poor
This done. from his beautiful
white horse and surrounded by huge
black functionaries, the Sultan re-
tired TO the palace. leaving his two
elder sons with Gen. Patton and his
party for the show put on by the
tribesmen.
In quadrangle marked off by
straight black Sheriflan guards with
needle pointed bayonets on old but
well-kept rifles. each group of tribal
leaders galloped fun tilt and fired
their Silver-encrusted rifles.
Band Plays American Tunes.
Between the rushes. the Sheridan
Guards Band, each man in a red
tunic, red pantaloons with white
leather breast belts and white
leggings and wearing blue and
white turban, played over There"
Johnny Get Your Gun" and You
Can't Get En- Up"
The days ceremony broke up like
circus crowd, with the chiefs rid
ing every kind of vehicle from pala-
tial sedans to bicycles and their fol-
lowers on everything from hand
some chargers to donkeyS.
On the last day the Sultans
guards. the Spahis. and the Zouaves
and United States soldiers and
sailors paraded.
Thus was the three-day festival
Of Islam that stems from the sac
rifice of Abraham. The first day
throughout the Moslem empire each
family able TO do so sacrificed a
sheep and gave most of Ii to the
poor. Families who could not af-

Frances Nash, soloist with the Ma
tional Symphony at yesterdays con-
cert In Constitution Hall, demon
StTated once again her fine pianistic
talent in concerto by fairly un-
known composer, the Russian. Sergei
Bortkiewicz.
In a work not fully calculated to
test pisnists gifts, she nevertheless
was able TO make it glowing and vital
by her own inner fire and musical
understanding. The solo number
formed the peak OF the program
which otherwise included such
widely diverse works as Corelli's
Concerto Crosse, No. g." Debussy'S
"Children's Corner" and Strauss
tone poem. Don Juan"
Aside from forceful and fluent
technique, Miss Nash has a COM
manding temperament and in it a
prize that places her in the front
rank of wornen pianists. Because
OF it the vision OF the musics mean
ing. clear to her sensitive mind. is
re-created vividly and all its details
touched upon with full understand
ing OF their importance, This is
rare gift and few pianists of either
gender possess it.
Poetical Effect Achieved.
The Bortkiewicz Concerto in B
Flat Major has plenty of interpre-
tive variety In 1t and Miss Nash out
lined the changes that affected mood
and rhythm with thorough personal
sympathy. Written by pianist it
gives the player almostsa constant
opportunity for a display OF his
prowess in the intricate passage
work, the thunderous chords and the
fine cantilena.

the west side swimming title in
the league meet yesterday at
NorthwcStcrn'S pool.
The Western victory. following
the trend set by DENLY in the east
loop yesterday, came as no sur
prise and ordinarily the results Of
the two meets would make the
TarS and the Cowboys heavy
rivals for city honorS in the finals
next "Wednesday and Friday.
In this case. however. the stop
watch predicts that the west side
swimmers. paced by Western. have
considerable edge over DENLY and
