severest challenge is ito bring

Ritchard relies upon pa
thence and encouragement
and an occasional crack Of
the whip"
Comments Abbott: Going
after the best results with q
cast is a matter Of compro-
mise. It Is the directors task
to be flexible. If the cast is
quick, we can work easily. If
we have q cast that Is neurotic
and vain, the director must
exercise q great deal OF
patience"
Kazan works to find in
each actor something like the
part they are to play"-and
then feels free to use any
means he can devise to at
tain that response.
Many and Varied
Josh Logan seeks results
by respecting the actors "as
intelligent human beings; by
enliSting their aid in telling
the story; by encouraging
them to be creative and
never forcing them to do
anything that they do not
believe in deeply; and while
doing the hardest work
having funl"
The job, explains Kelly, is
to make the actors under
stand what the play is about
from the authors point Of
view, not from that of the
individual players.
There are as many ways
Of coaxing, bullying or ca
joling q performance out of
an actor as there are direc-
tors"
Clurman believes in vary
ing the approach, depending
upon both the play and the
players currently at hand.
Sometimes I pretend to
lose my temper to get results
in the reaction I want" he
says. However, I never
lose patience, really.
"A director has to be many
things-father, artist. teach
er. psychologist. psychoana-
lyst, diplomat and hypocrite."

"The most difficalt task is
to get a good play and a good

possible to do o play in the

Abbott replies, however,
that getting the script

problems and the response of
tryout audiences--is the most
trying chore. With him, it
is the author who must do
the adjusting.
Logan insists the prime
task is to provide IAN ex-

that has been worth their
time and attention as well as
having given them q feeling
that they have learned

Kazan pinpoints his role
with the words: 1.-THE most
important thing is to come
as close in the staging as
possible to what the author
had in mind when he wrote.
"The French have a won

--he is called the 'realizer.'
If you don't succeed in doing
this, you have somehow
failed"

Bryan pointed out that among
the $4,000 credit unions in this
country, shortages are not an un-
known occurrence, but that
through a complete and adequate
bonding service provided by the
organized credit union movement
credit unions and credit union
members are protected against
possible loss from this sort of
thing. Bryan stated that among
the $50 credit unions in Montana
relatively few such embellishments
have occurred and none in re-
cent years which have caused
losses to credit union members.
Credit Unions are basically self
help organizations, formed among
friends having a common bond.
The main purposes Of credit
unions are to encourage regular
savings among the members and
to provide a source of credit for
the members from the savings
thus accumulated.
The complaint setting forth the
charges was filed through the
office of the County Attorney of
Richland County, Victor G. Koch.
A warrant for Clark's arrest was
issued by Lucy Fisher, justice of
the peace. Clark is thirty
years old, married and is the
father of three children. All per-
sons connected with the disclosure
and subsequent investigation were
visibly shocked that such an &C.
currence could be traced to Clark
who was always a highly respect
ed and trusted man in the COM
munity.

Don Nutter Is
Rep. Candidate
For State Senate

Don Nutter has peritioned for
the Republican nomination for the
office OF State Senator, a position
which he has held since 1851. In
that year Nutter served on the
Educational Committee of the
Senate and since the 1853 session
has been a member Of the i'm
portant Highways and T~ranspor-
tation Committee, Labor and
Compensation Committee, Judici-
airy Committee, and Oils and
Leases Committee. In 1855 he
was chairman OF the Labor and
Compensation Committee and has
erved as chairman of the Employ
ment Committee of the Senate for
two sessions.
Nutter has been conservative in
tax matters and has criticized
waste in government and the high
cost of government to the tax
payers. He has continually advo-
Gated fair and equitable taxation
with everyone carrying their fair
share of the tax burden. He has
long felt that ~silicosis and occu-
pational diseases should be con-
sidered as incident in the cost of
production, and the burden OF
caring for those afflicted should
he borne by the industry and not
by the taxpayer. He was an
author of the Occupational Di-
sease Bill in the 1857 session.
Don has advised, that if re-
elected, he will continue to work
for equalization and reduction of
taxes and win continue to advo-
cate sound government practices

Credit Union
Treasurer Faces
Larceny Charge

David T. Clark, treasurer of
Federal Credit Union, Sidney,
Montana, is charged with grand
larceny of funds from the credit
union, 1t was announced by J..
Harry Johnson, president of the
Credit Union. The shortage was
discovered during a hutine
check of the records of the credit
union. The money embezzled by
Clark was secured through falsi-
fled loan applications and forgery.
Johnson, president of the Credit
Union, stated that the embezzled
funds and all funds and assets of
the credit union are fully pro-
tected against loss. The bond of
the credit union is current and
covers all losses of this type to
a maximum of one million dol
lars. Estimated loss in this en-
bezzlement is approximately
100000.
The directors of the credit
union met in special session Sat-
urday, March 29, 1858 to sign
charges and to consult with David
L. Bryan, of Great Falls, man.
