Teachers Present
Annual Music
Critics PROGRAM

The Washington Music Teachers
Association presented its annual
music critics program last night
at the Arts Club when selections the
critics would like to hear were per-
formed by artists of their choos-
ing. The program, with one excep-
ton, was entirely American and
each group of numbers was pre-
coded by short explanatory talk
by the critics.
Constance Russell was the artist
performing for Ray Brown of the
Washington Post in the presenta-
ton Of three piano numbers, Hinde-
mith's Two Interludes and Fugues"
from his latest work "Ludus Ton
ais" the first movement of
Beethoven's Sonata in c Sharp
Minor" and Chavez Three Prel-
udes." The reason for the inclu-
sion of the so-called Moonlight
Sonata" in the group was to dis
prove its accepted poetic designa-
b1OAl. V1i. olOWil DlOusilt cblUcllCG
| that the movement could represent
a woman praying in church for a
lost one and Miss Russell skill
fully portrayed the mood in her
performance.
Eight Epitaphs" by Theodore
Chanler and three songs by Paul
Nordoff. Willow River" There
Shall Be More JOY" and "Serenade"
were sung by Ina Holtzscheiter, pre-
sented by Alice Eversman of The
Evening Star. Miss Holtzscheiters
finished performance, accompanied
by Theodore Schaefer, was evident
also in Mary Howe's new song,
Mailed" which was added to the
list. Mrs. Howe was present in
the audience.
The program concluded with the
brilliant playing of Quincy Porter's
Sonata for Piano and Violin" by
Earl Wild, pianist, and Alto Micci,
violinist. DR.. Glenn billiard Gum
Of the Times Herald introduced his
artists with resume of their public
accomplishments before entering
the Navy Band.

HOLLYWOOD.

A minor league wedding occurred
in Hollywood the other evening.
Press photographers went out to
cover 1t only because 1t was a dull
evening and there was nothing else
to do. Just before the ceremony
Capt. Clark Gable and Kay Will
liams came in as guests.
The photographers never did
photograph the wedding party.
They got dozens of good shots of
the captain and his girl friend and
rushed away gleefully.

The Olivia De Havilland suit
against Warner Bros, in which the
courts held that no contract could
be longer than seven years, includ-

has studio legal lights in an uproar.
Latest development is the opinion
of several experts, who say uphold
ing the decision in the upper courts
may invalidate the contract of every
star in the armed forces. All of
them took contract extensions.
II the appeal takes the usual
length OF time, Miss De Havilland

New military and civilian built
bridges for the postwar tourist al
ready are connecting the Americas
on the great Pan-American High
way through 18 Latin American
countries from the United, States
border southwark, the American
Express travel service points out.
Modern in design and construction,
many resemble the beautiful arched
spans built in the 18th and 18th
centuries.
OF special Importance are the
new international bridges linking
10 of the American Republics, the
latest Of which Is the newly COM
pleted 480-fQot span on the Rio
Goasceran highway, connecting El
Salvador with Honduras. Two in
ternational bridges connect Mexico
with her southern neighbor Guate-
mala, the latest being the new Ell
Talisman Bridge near Ayutla across
the Suchiate River.
Among the other international
bridges are those crossing the
boundary streams between the
United States and Mexico, Mexico
and Guatemala, Colombia and Ven-
ezuela, Colombia and Ecuador, Bra
zil and Uruguay. Another span un-
der construction over the Rio Uru-
quay will be a connecting link be-
tween Brazil and Argentina. A Sec
ond international span is to be con-
structed at Guarahy, Brazil, across
the Artigas River.
OF picturesqueness Is the replica
of the Old Slave Bridge at Puente-
Esclavos in Guatemala, built by
slave labor in the early 18th GEN.
tury. Among other famous bridges
are the ones under construction
along the Inter-American High
way in Costa Rica. A concrete
bridge now spans the Choluteca
road in Honduras, one Of the most
difficult spans of the series. Vads

 Founded to relieve suffering on the battle field, the Red Cross pion- eered in other types of relief when governments took over medical care of the wounded. Besides providing recreation and rehabilitation for soldiers, food and clothing to war torn countries, the Red Cross re- cruits nurses for the Army and Navy, gives courses in home nurs- ing, first aid, water safety and aides for the overburdened hospitals of the nation, provides blood plasma and helps persons stricken by dis asters to regain their pre-disaster status, and many other services.
 The national quota has been set at $2OO, ,00O, four-ffths of which will be expended on behalf of the men and women in the armed forces.

In speaking of Captain Charles w. Bennett, Base Chemical Officer, one does not need to go into great detail or description, for the Cap- tain is known widely throughout Bradley Field for his many accom- plishments and his personality.
 He embarked on his colorful career in Syracuse, N. Y., where he was graduated from Christian Brothers Academy and Central City Business College. Upon com p etion of his education, he became engaged in banking and real es- tate, and it was these occupations which he forsook in favor of the Army in October 1882.
 His first enlistment was spent in Panama with the Second Field Ar tillery, but this is only one of the many organizations which he has called home. Two and one-half years with the 18th Infantry in China and six months at Fort Lew is, Washington, made up his sec ond "hitch." He raised his hand for the third time to enter the 18th

ing to his academic pursuits.
During her. IA years of service
with the bureau, DR.. Stiebling ha.
made nutrition history in many
fields.
In q spectacular way she brought
home to America its nutritiona
needs In 1941 with her publication
Are We Well Fed" Here, by means
of simple charts and figures, she
presented the nutritional standing
of the Nation and its pepole in 8
plain and straightforward way. She
found that one third of the Nation
population was poorly fed.
Develops -Four Diets" Plan.
For the scientist and the laymar
alike, she had demonstrated what
people In various sections of this
country, on the farms and in the
cities, rich and poor alike, were eat
ing, and what changes they needed
to make in their diets to get more
nourishment.
This study was preceded by her
development of the so-called -four
diets" plans at four levels of cost
These flexible dietary plans enable
families and individuals at different
economic levels to obtain the best
possible nutrition for the amount OF
money they have to spend for food
At the same time, the plans make
allowances for different food habits
and tastes.
The methods worked out by DIR
Stiebling now are considered basic
in nutrition planning in many coun-
tries throughout the world. They
have special significance in making
possible a closer gearing of food
production to the nutritional needs
of large or small populations groups,
and have resulted in her being sent
as delegates to dietary conferences
in Hungary, Yugoslavia, Czecho-
slavakia, Scotland, Geneva, Buenos
Aires and Mexico City. She was a
member of the technical secretariat
OF the United Nations Food Confer
ence at Hot Springs, Va, and served
as committee secretary for the dis
cussion on consumption levels and
food requirements.

Born on Ohio Farm.
Born on a farm near Hoskins,
Ohio, Dr. Stiebling taught at the
Kansas State Teachers College
Emporia, before taking up graduate
study at Columbia University, New
York. After receiving her M. A.
degree in nutrition and her Phi. D.
in chemistry, she worked as an as
sistant to Americas two great nu-
triton pioneers, DR.. Mary Swartz
Rose and DR.. Henry c. Sherman.
ITO fulfill its highest destiny, re-
search must be so conducted as to
push back the frontiers of everyday
knowledge" she said. Another of
her convictions is that the help de-
rived from scientific food planning
should be translated as speedily as
possible into A, B, G simplicity for
the homemaker, so that the chill

fit by it.
She is confident that the squirt
given the general nutritional pro-
gram by the war in both Great
Britain and the United States can
not help but be generally effective
when peace comes.

for better nutrition standards and
food consumption, both at home
