UNCLE RAYS CORNER

SOMETIMES I speak about "the
war" in this column. but more often
I talk OF other things. Usually we
have stories about science. invention,
travel, or the lives of famous people.
Like almost everyone else, am
greatly interested in the outcome OF
the war, but there are special reasons
vllv I write mainly of other things.
In the first place various pages OF
the newspaper contain a great deal
of news about what is going on, In
the second place, believe that peo-
ple sometimes like to turn their
minds to other thoughts. Even In
the midst of war, there are things
of peace which are worth thinking
about
It Is too bad that the war still goes
on when it comes time to wish YOU
Merry Christmas" This great feast
fits more with peace than with war.
Yet we know that if peace is to
be good, life must be good. Free
men do not care to be made into
slaves. They feel that when would
be conquerers try to strike down
their freedom, they must fight to de-
fend themselves and their way OF
life They believe that peace with
slavery would be worse than war to
save their freedom.

he had luck IN both black suits. 1t
would have taken bad breaks in
both suits TO set him at four spades.
so he certainly should have been in
a game contract. Strangely enough.
there was no pickering over this one
The general tone was that of dis
appointment rather than acrimony.
Certainly North couldn't bid any
more than two spades with his mini
mum opening bid And South could
hardly find a rebid with his two
lonely looking high cards. If either
OF them had overbid, game would
have been reached. But how can
you reach the game if you bid 1t
correctly"
We don't agree that the hand was
bid correctly. We think North could
and should have bid three spades.
What did South need to make a
gamer Two or three queens would
be enough, yet he would hardly be
able to rebid without substantial
encoura cement from North.
What was the danger Of jumping
TO three spades? If South had two
aces. he might get to a slam but
with two aces he'd have a play for
the slam If South had a good
hand with only one ace, he'd surely
give North a chance to pass short
of a slam; and five spades would
then be pretty safe. Furthermore,
Souths original pass made 1t ex-
tremely unlikely that he would even
try for slam. He would probably
be very glad to get to a game.

manner that they become immediate pub lie property without any formality att tached to them is not fair to all con- cerned.

For example, Alderman Burton Walker last night asked Chairman Phe- Ian to name the "nameless critic.
 We doubt if any police or fire boards ever in the city'S history have issued commands or directly warned members of the departments under their juriSdic- tion as strictly as those named py Mayor Vincent A. Scully. That there have been tranSgressions is not the boards fault or the mayors. They could not be blamed for not taking steps to punish and to prevent repetitions. Human nature be- ing what it is, we don't think any board can regulate it. But it can exercise con- trol and we don't think the existing fire and police boards are wanting in that
 If they aren't, then the city is going to be very much interested in claims to the contrary that will stand up under investigation.
