Firing Squad For Killer

united Press Staff Correspondent
 Salt Lake City, June 19-(UP)- Hooded and strapped firmly to a tiny wooden chair, 3S-year- old Aus tin Cox, Mass. murderer, died at dawn today before a five-man fir ing squad against the south wall of the ancient Utah state prison.
 Five rifles fired simultaneously from behind their canvas curtain in cellhouse doorway at 7:42 a. m., EWT. Cox was pronounced dead three minutes later, just as the morning sun climbed over the tow ering peaks of the nearby Wasatch mountains.
 The heavily-bearded, six-f o o t four-inch Cox killed ogden district Judge Lewis V. Trueman and four strangers who crossed his path last July while Cox was on an enraged hunt for a former wife who had been granted divorce by Trueman.
 Before he left his cell in death row, Cox was heard believing loud ly.
 Then he was led into the prison yard. His hands, feet and neck were bound to the chair by leather throngs and the prison doctor lo- cated his heart with a stethoscope and pinned @ red and write target over the killers new white shirt.
 Continuing to below, Cox strug- gled to shake loose of the chair as the prison doctor opened his shirt to locate his heart.
 The target finally fixed, the phy- sician stepped back and sheriff John R. Watson of Weber county, scene of the murders, took his place to the side of the chair.
 Then Watson gave his signal and the five rifles parked. Blood spurted through Cox's cotton shirt.
 The spectators pressed forward and found four neat bullet holes in the target.
 There were five riflemen, paid at least $25 each, but only four fired live ammunition. The fifth gum contained a blank.
 Cox made no statement before the execution, and was silent when the death warrant was read to him.

Vivlen Leigh and Robert Taylor
 certainly are one of the outstand-
 ing romantic teams in film annals
 judging from the enthusiastic au-
 diences reception accorded M.d-M's
 waterloo Bridge" which still has
 three days left to be shown ct Loew Poll Theatre. The brilliant drama
 from the pen of the Pulitzer Prize
 winning playwriter, Robert E. Sher- wood, Is back on the screen aS the most tender and heart tugging love story since seventh Heaven" with added interest in It's timely and vividly pictured background of Lon don of the war-years, 1917 and 1040. Miss Leigh proved her ability as an actress with her Academy Award performance of Scarlet O'Hara in "0one With the Wind, but reveals further versatility in c role as diff. ferent from Scarlett as day from night. Tn addition to the excellent dramatic work of the stars the film features flawless support from Lu. ellie Watson aS Taylors mother, Virginia field, who contributes e splendid and touching performance as Miss Leight's sacrificing girl friend, Maria Ouspenskaya, aS the stern disciplinarian of the ballet school, and c. Audrey Smith as the kindly officer of Taylor's regiment. The co-hit on this thrilling program of hits is strangers in the Night" with William Terry and Virginia Grey.

3 MeKENNEY oN BRIDGE
BY WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY
 Amerlca'S Card Authority

Tn the semi-tinal round of the Masters team -of-four contest, which the defending champions lost by 10 points, Charles H. Goren and Sidney Silodor of Philadelphia could have picked up more than enough points to win the match on today's hand. A directing play was involved here, as in yesterdays hand.
 Mrs. Golder's flve-diamond bid was daring indeed, but she felt that something unusual had to be done, as her team had been down 1900 points at the half-way mark. On Silodor'S opening lead of the jack of clubs, Goren played the three-spot, This was intended as a suit-direeting signal, requesting his partner to shift to the lowest suit not trump-in this case, a heart.
 Had Silodor cashed the ace of hearts and led @ small heart, 0oren would have ruffed, and Silodor still would have made his queen of hearts. This would have meant an additional 200 points which would have given the match to the de- lending champions by l90 points. However, Sllodor failed to read the suit directing signal and continued with another club; whereupon Mrs. Colder ruffed. drew trumps, and in the end lost only two heart tricks

IOu WAAA AAOb AAdNG Go leave the patient shivering in damp bedding while you run around Co collect something you forgot. Use Bath water that is little more than &arm, but not really hot,
 AVOID EXPOSURE
 If you have extra blankets use ewo of them for bath blankets to avoid getting the patients blank cts damp. If extra blankets are not available large bath towels may be used to protect the bed from damp ness,
 Remove all covering from the patient except one blanket. Place bath blanket on top of this and ask ehe patient to hold 1t at the upper edge while you pull the bed blanket krcm underneath. Turn the patient on his side facing you, and lay the other bath blanket in long folds close to his back. Then turn him back over the folded blanket and smooth it out, drawing 1t down over the edge of the mattress to pro- tect it.
 With corners of the wash cloth folded into the palm of the hand to prevent dribbling water, use firm, smooth strokes in washing. Begin with the face and wash, rinse and hry each part thoroughly as you proceed, Avoid exposing the body except the part you are washing, Change the bath water whenever at gots soapy, and be sure and wash off aN soap before drying the skin,
