When we stopped at Santa Fe on our transcontinental bridge tour, I made a thorough but unsuccessful search among the Pueblo Indians at Taos and at Santa Clara for one of the deerskin or sheepskin decks of cards used in the old days by the southwestern Indians.
 With the discovery of America. the Spaniards brought playing cards and taught the Indians how to amuse themselves with them cen- tuyies ago. The old gaming sticks used by the Indians had symbols in four directions. Modern playing cards may have been developed in Asia from the same type Of gaming sticks.
 After our visit to Taos we re. turned to Santa Pc. Again our four some spent the evening playing rubber bridge. Today's hand, played by Mrs. Albert Rockwell. was the most interesting of the evening. The powerful North-south cards could not very well avoid reaching at least six spades. Yet. because of the iden- tical pattern on both sides, with consequent absence of any ruling value, the contract seems hopeless.
 Mrs. Rockwell, nevertheless, found c way to make the contract. She

THE PRIVATE PAPERS or A ] CUB REPORTER
 -sThe average American today is
 more familiar with Hollywood than rlle average Senator is with the United States Constitution Mnst Americans know that 20 years ago Bill Hart and Mary Pickfcrd were movie stars. But not one in q hundred people, perhaps, could name you the man who was then t1e Senator from North Dakota or even Montana.
 America in its heart remembers it's movie stars and its dime novels long after 1t has forgotten its bI- Non-doliar appropriators x. The public long ago found out that a silent Mae west Is more eloquent than most washington boratory.
 In this current Washington farce, the Honorable, Soandsos have the cart before the horse. The public doesn't follow Hollywood. It Is Hollywood which follows ths pullic. And today the American people are aroused to the peril to their free- doms. Hollywood has supported every American President because the respect for that high office is greater than Hollywood's fear of low punches and lower politics .. Hollywood, most of the investiga- tors, appear to have forgotten, has supported the Presidents attacks on HitieriSm--but no more so than Hollywood has supported the same attacks on Hitlerism made by His Holiness, the Pope.
 The individual talent recognized by the Academy Awards Oscar Is valued in Hollywood because the right tO give 1t was won by the American people at Valley Forge. Fred FlnklehOffe writes: T met my first authentic Indian the other nite. He was getting a little bagged and was complaining that they'd taken this country away from his people, and he wanted 1t back. finally told him to go down to Washington. There are three fel- lows in the Senate who will sell 1t to him very cheap"
