States were not to be robbed of
this opportunity to witness the
beautiful performance because of
the insidious barriers of race pre-
JUDGE. So an experimental pro-
duction was arranged, directed
by Miss Webster. A superb sup
porting cast was selected. Jose
Ferrer was chosen to play the
role of the treacherous and wiley
Iago and Mr.. Ferrer's lovely
wife, Miss Uta Hagen was as
signed to the role of the gentle,
victimized Desdemona. The per-
Torrance was held at the tiny
little Cambridge Theatre at Har-
ward University.
Naturally a great deal of in
terest was aroused by the pro-
duetion and the drama critics of
nearby Boston flocked into the
tiny playhouse. The following
morning their reviews were so
glowing, so ecstatic, that Broad
way managers Immediately be-
sieged the company with offers
for a Manhattan showing.

illness.
A native of Pueblo, Colorado,
she was born November 20, 1876,
a daughter of Willis and Annie
Sexton. She was married to Sam
uel Steward on June IA, 1898,
and moved to Salt Lake City in
1913.
Mrs. Steward lived a full and
beautiful life; was a founder and
active member of Calvary Baptist
Church where she contributed
her services willingly and eff
ficiently. For twelve years she
was the respected and loved
president of the Missionary So
ciety. She was truly a Chris
tian, and raised her children in
the Christian way of life.
Mrs. Steward was a faithful
wife and companion, and in June,
1943, she and her adoring hus-
band observed their Golden We'd
ding Anniversary. She was a
devoted mother-honored and re-
spected by her children and hei
childrens' friends. She was idol
lied by her grandchildren ant
nieces and nephews.

tary law. That law was rioting.
In the military manual there is
no excuse for rioting, no matter
what the cause.
OF course we, understanding
the cause, which by the way is
not permitted in the record, l
think the sentences were some-
what severe.
Now 1 can say that the provo
cation was so natural that any
American citizen with red blood
would have been in the same
predicament.
When you consider that sol
diers are taught to hate and kill
an enemy nation, it does not
make sense that they can be
thrown in contact with enemy
prisoners and learn to love them
over night.

ARMY PROPOSES
SPORTS PROGRAM

NEW YORK, Aug. 21.-lRLThe
Army will have a complete COM
petitive athletic program ready for
the CTS as soon as they can take
time off from fighting, if plans
of the newly formed athletic branch
of the Special Services division are
carried through.
Lieut.. Col. Henry w. "Esky"
Clark, recently appointed head OF
the athletic branch, said today that
his branch is developing pro-
gram based upon the Service
Forces sports program initiated
about four months ago. During the
past week Army officers have met
with committee of civilian sports
experts, including representatives
of professional, amateur, college
intra mural and college varsity
athletic.
The plan will go into effect for
the service forces if they are ap-
proved by Lieut.. Gen. Brehon
Somervell, head of that Army
branch. They also will be offered
to the ground and air forces and
to the various theater command
ers. If generally accepted, the
plans eventually will lead to cham
pionship tournaments in all sports
in the ground, air and service
forces and in each theater of oper-
ations, leading up to final armed
forces championships.

the 445-yard fourteenth, where he
lost stroke by pitching over the

brides, four on the first nine.
Tomorrow another 1874 of the

find room to swing a club in to-

IT feel that tie officiating in the

it has been since I was appointed

reports show that many Off

tended only a few times the weekly
meetings. I feel that this is one
of the causes of this poor officlat-
ing"
st. Clair declared 'there is no
excuse for poor officiating at any
time and especially this year.

threw the ball. That big lug would
just wham the ball out of the park
and turn his head casually to me
