Army Bomber Lands
On Icy Alaska Lake
BY the Associated Press.


The possible use of Alaskas frozen
lakes as emergency landing fields
for big Army bombers has been sug-
gested by the War Department.
In reporting preliminary results of
experiments at Fairbanks, the de-
partment said a four-motored "hy-
ing fortress" bomber had landed
without mishap on the glare ice Of 3
Northern lake.
Weighing % tons or more, the
plane was believed to be the first
of its size ever to attempt wheel
landing under such circumstances.
Other experiments to determine
how planes could be operated under
severe conditions of an Arctic win
ter resulted, the War Department
said, in improvements in the use
of radio facilities, landing gear and
de-icing equipment.

ogy that money in unlimited guam
titles is available whenever the magic
word defense" is spoken. If the
President could introduce little bit
of economy psychology it would have
salutary affect in preventing waste
as well as in saving dollars. The
first place to make economies is by
holding up the hiring of unnecessary
new personnel. This will not work
hardships because business and in
dustry generally will need personnel,
especially as the selective service op-
erations tend to subtract more and
more individuals from their jobs.
The next thing to do is to set up a
priorities commission in the Gov
ernment itself to require that GER
tain appropriations be suspended and
work be postponed on normal ac-
tivities Of the Government which are
not absolutely needed in connection
with the defense program and which
the country can get along without

The lead was the same in all
cases, the spade jack. But there
after things went differently.
AT the first table South won the
opening spade lead and led the
heart ace West played low and
was allowed to hold the next trick
with his heart queen. He couldn't
get to Easts hand for a spade re-
turn, so South made his contract
with a spade, four hearts, three
diamonds and a club.
AT the second table South pro-
ceeded in the same way to lead
the heart ace at the second trick.
But this West dropped his heart
queen, thus assuring his partner
an entry in hearts. South couldn't
make nine tricks without the hearts,
but lost his contract when East
got the lead in hearts to push a
spade through.
"At the third table South won the
opening lead and led diamond to
dummy at the second trick. A heart
was then returned from dummy and
South finessed the 10. West won
the trick, but now South had the
hearts established and East couldn't
lead spades through him. Safety
first, eh?"
We agree. The third South played
the hand properly, as Mr.. Linton
points out. But give West at the
second table credit for very fine
defensive play. Dropping the queen
of hearts is very neat!
