west was nara put 10 IL 10 llllu d
bid over East's takeout double of
two hearts, but he probably should
have bid two spades rather than
take a chance on a penalty pass.
It's hard to criticize the pass, how
ever, since the contract could have
been defeated; and if East had hap
pened to have a singleton jack in
stead of low trump the contract
would have been set two tricks.
West opened the eight of spades,
dummy played low and East won
with the jack. At this point East
should have begun the diamonds,
but he was unwilling to attack
suit headed by ace-queen, so led his
trump instead.
South had expected to lose two
spades, three diamonds and a club
in short order but saw that he had
a chance for his contract if the
opponents would take the ace of
clubs at once and stay away from
diamonds long enough to let him
discard one on a club. The only
way to discourage a diamond lead
was to make it very safe for them
to lead spades again, and South had
an idea about getting East to take
the first club trick.
So South won four high trumps,
discarding from dummy first low
club and then the ten of spades. The
club discard was to show a lack of
interest in that suit, and the spade
was to make it safe for East to lead
spades to pick up dummy's blank
king and then make South ruff.
Then South led the queen Of
clubs, laying dummy's king on the
trick. East feared that South had
led singleton club, so took his ace
| at once. Then he fell into the other
trap by laying down the spade
ace and continuing the suit. South
ruffed and was able to discard two
diamonds on the clubs. making his
contract with an overtrick.

"The French government took
measures to stop the Nazi sharp
dealers. and passed a new law pro-
hibiting the sale Of French property
unless the owner knew to whom he
was selling 1t and unless the pro-
prietor could give good reasons for
the sale. When the Germans
couldn't get hold Of our land and
industries in France, they sent their
agents to the United States to get
American-owned property in my
country"
France itself is honeycombed with

the situation.
Maj. Edward J. Kelly, superin-

BY the Associated Press.

/ BY tne Associated HrekS.
OSLO, German Occupied Norway,
Sept. 10.-A state of civil siege for
Oslo and surrounding districts was
decreed today by the German COM
missioner for Norway, Joseph Ter
bowen.
The step follows a similar order
covering certain Norwegian coastal
regions put into effect August 2
to deal with disturbances to public
order and security.
At that time it was explained
officially that the move was pre-
cautionary legal step taken because
the war had moved into "a decisive
stage for Norway"
Like the August 2 decree, today S
order provides that violators of new
restrictions will face courts martial
and, like the earlier decree. the
German authorities are enabled to
conduct summary executions, SEN
tence accused persons to death or
Imprisonment up to life term and
to confiscate property of those &C
| cused.
Disturbances Cited.
Today's decree, which became eff
| fective at am, was ordered, the
German authorities said, because Of
criminal disturbance of labor
peace" by Communist and Marxist
elements in recent days.
1t was charged that these ele-
ments in the labor unions had
made preparations for strikes.
The state of siege is effective in
Oslo and the Aker police district,
including the localities of Aker and
! Berun.
The decree forbids Norwegians
to appear on the streets in those
districts between 8 pm. and 5 am.
All communications cease at 730
pm, restaurants close at 7 pm,
the sale of alcohol is forbidden
Theaters and movies are closed.
Dancing is banned.
Punishments Prescribed.
Punlshments are prescribed for
gatherings in restaurants or forma-
tiotia VI eioupo III SbiC CCIS VI punt
squares.
The sweeping orders say resist
ance will be broken with weapons.
Violators are to face courts
martial.
Norwegian residents of Oslo, Aker
and Berun are obliged to turn over
their radio sets Immediately.
The British radio in reporting the
state of seige said that the Nor
wegian press reports considerable
increase in the number of fires
which have occurred this year,
most of them hampering the Ger
man authorities
During the first half of the year,
the British said, there was an
increase of % per cent in the amount
of fire insurance paid out as COM
pared with the same period last
year. Most of the fires broke out
in garages containing German mill
tary cars and in factories pro-
ducing war materials.
1T is reported that complete
chaos is developing in the Norwegian
civil administration as the result
of a German attempt to remove
from Office all anti-Nazis. Nearly
a. hundred officials have been dis.
missed from the postal service.

BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Sept. 10.-America
must not put its liberties 'in stor-
age until the shooting is over" the
director of the American Civil Lib
critics Union said yesterday.
Speaking before $50 undergradu-
ates from 81 colleges at an Inter-
national Students Service Confer
ence, Roger N. Baldwin said dis
trust and fear of democracy was
embedded in the assumption that
the accustomed liberties of the
United States could not stand the
pressure of crisis and must be sus-
pended at least in part.
Those who yield so easily to
the notion that wars cannot be
fought, nor great emergencies be
met without sacrificing the process
of debate and the right of dis
sent. forget the very purposes for
which democracy exists" he said

and begged for plane to bomb the
submarine that took the lives of his
four companions.
Boy" he said. sticking out his
jaw, Il saw those fellows die. want
to do something about them"
The survivors reached British
port Friday, and their names were
made public the following day, but
few details Of the torpedoing became
known to the public until Jordan
told his story last night. Here it is:
1--WE realized one morning that we
were being trailed by submarine.
That didn't worry us much, but later
in the day our engine broke down.
We worked on it-all II American
boys-for 16 hours.
THE broken engine reduced our
speed from Is knots to seven. That
is hell of feeling when you know
a submarine is after you. Anyhow.
we chugged along zig-zagging ane
twisting for another day.
The next day there was a fog
and the first thing we knew out of
this fog came plane. 1t machine
gunned us, turned a cannon on us
and dropped bomb or two. The
bomb didn't hit us but the machine
gun and the cannon surely knocked
us about.
Began Listing to Port.
Along about dusk subs closed in
on us. We could even see their peri
scopes. They would come up. then
duck down and then come up again
Il saw one very close I ran and
got the captain and just then there
was an awful bang and mess of
black smoke and spray. We were
hit all right, and began listing to
port.
I'VE were so badly hit that we
couldn't stop our engine. She just
kept going round and round. The
machine guns and the cannon had
banged up our lifeboats so we began
throwing off RATS.
Il threw one off and then slid
down the side of the ship after it,
Evening star., 1941-09-10

I got caught In a flock of ropes and
swung out from the side of the boat.
Then I swung back and bounced of
the boat. I reckon that saved my
life.
Horrible Noise.
THE others did the same thing
The listing boat began chasing us
I saw the ships propeller cut into a
bunch of them and about 20 fellows
including seamen got chopped up"
"All this tirne the ships whistle
was screaming. I never knew there
could be such a horrible noise in
my life. And I never knew that
Evening star., 1941-09-10

mems screams could be heard above
the whistles scream. But they
were. Later, I'm afraid, their
screaming stopped"
Jordan said he and 10 others clung
to two RATS for 111a hours. The sub
marine approached them once, he
said.
The sub gunner turned his gun
on U.S." Jordan said. Il thought it
was all up. Then the commander
waved him aside. He later gave us
some meat"
A Polish warship picked up the
survivors. Thirty-seven of the ships
crew and passengers were lost.
