Gin Rummy Lesson:
B Low Cards
Primary Rule
Of Good Play
Gin Rummy Lesson:
by JOSEPHINE CULBERTSON
Word Ysmsss Authority

ny JOSEPHINE CULBERTsON
World Ysmsus Authority
THE FIRST RULE OF PLAY
A few standard principles OF
scientific play must be learned
by the gin rummy player, from
experience or otherwise. before
he can be a consistent winner.
The first rule of good play Is
this: At least three of your un.
matched cards should be low
cards.
In general, you should try 10
develop your hand so that these
three cards total at most 10
points.
II you have more than three
low cards. you should keep them
when you draw them.
II necessary, you should even
pick them up from your OPP
ponent's discards.
TYPICAL HAND
Club X Spade K-Q
Heart J-l0
Spade 81 Heart TO Diamond s
II is a fairly promising hand,
as gin rummy hands 60.
Every card in II, when COM
bined with some other card, can
produce a matched set with one
lucky draw.
Altogether, any one OF 10 diff
ferent cards Heart X, Diamond
X, Spade J, Heart @, Heart 9.
Spade 9. Heart 8, Heart 5. Spade
6. Club 81 will produce
matched set for you.
TRY MATCHING
Now suppose you try 10 hold
on 10 all those promising COM
binatlons until you m &c h
them'up.
In four or five draws. II you
have average luck, your hand
viii look something like this:
xxx
-- Heart Q-J-f6--
Spade 7 Heart 7-6 Diamond s
Here you have made two
matched sets, which is about the
best you can hope for, and you
still cannot knock.
II you should not draw an
other king. or the nine of hearts,
you will still be unable TO knock.
Furthermore. your count is 50
high that II your oppon ent
knocks you can hardly hope TO
lay off enough cards TO tie or
10 beat him.
GIN EVERY TIME
Thus. If you hold on 10 every
possibility for a matched set, at
the expense of not keeping the
low cards you are lucky enough
10 draw. you are. in effect, play
ing for gin every time.
You must fill az least three
matched sets in order TO win
Experience tells us that this
IS losing game. since just one
hand in four ends with a players
going gin.
In addition 10 the fact that IL
decreases your chance of win
ming. it is dangerous 10 hold on
10 too many high cards.
II your opponent is dealt an
exceptionally good hand. and can
knock within the first few plays.
you may be stuck" with 40 or
so points in unmatched cards.
Half the game will be gone
in that one hand, and you may
never recover from so serious
a loss.
CAN LOSE sHUTOUT
You may even lose with an
original holding like those:
Spade Q Club Q-10
Diamond J-9 Spade 9-S
Heart S-6-5
Your first thought should be
a reduction OF your count
II you draw 3 or a 4. you
should keep il. even If it does
not match with anything in your
hand. and you should throw
away your 10 OF clubs.
You should continue this
policy for several plays. until
you have few low cards.
Your jack will be the next TO
go. and then, If necessary, one
of the queens. You must be con-
tent with what possible match
ing combinations you can keep
while still reducing your hand.
PICK UP, REDUCE
II your opponent during this
early period should discard an

Plea for Elaboration
OF Atlantic Charter
Broadcast by Smuts
Guarantee Of HeoIthy
Post-Wor Life Urged
By South Afrieon
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, Oct. 31.-Field Marshal
Jan Christian Smuts, Prime Min
lister of South Africa, in an inter-
national broadcast tonight called
for elaboration of the Atlantic
Charter in "the economic and social
sphere" to guarantee a postwar
healthy international life." ~
1T is our duty to prepare for
peace, a peace which could grow
organically from the united will Of
the United Nations" Marshal
Smuts said.
THE League of Nations as 1t
was founded In 1918 could not bring
us this peace" he said. "Our pres
ent intentions may be less theoret-
ical and even seem less far-reach-
ing but the common effort of the
United Nations shows the way along
which-also in peacetime-practical
work in every sphere can thrive to
the benefit of all peace-loving
peoples"
Allied victory, Marshal Smuts as
sured his audience, slowly but no
less surely is beginning to dawn on
the horizon"
He told the peoples of the Meth
erlands and Belgium that the Ger
mans sole reason for bringing about
the economic decay of your coun-
tries was to enable the enemy to
deport large parts of the popula-
ton to eastern Europe"
Describing himself as an "Afrikan-
der with Dutch blood in my veins, u
he asserted that "as far as the Meth
erlands and Belgium are concerned,
I have no doubt that their indepen-
dent existence will be guaranteed
after the war by the close cooper
alton of the United Nations, of which
I have seen striking examples in
London"
Sympathy for Oppressed Voiced.
Marshal SHUTS voiced sympathy
for the suffering peoples in enemy
occupied countries and exhorted
them ito bear in mind, however,
that each privation you are under
going is bringing us step nearer
victory"
Remember" he said, that re-
lentless rejection of all that the Ger
man and japanese oppressors per-
suade you to accept and that abso-
lutte contempt for everything tainted
and contaminated by the enemy is
your grand contribution toward the
struggle we daily wage with weapons
daily increasing in strength"

0PA Cuts Price Of Beef
Sold for Use Of Army
By the Associated Press.

8y the A0e0c1ated Press
The ONCE of Price Administra-
ton yesterday ordered reductions in
the prices at which the packing
industry may sell boneless canner
and cutter beef to the Army.
Oncials said it was impossible, for
the time being, to give an estimate
Of the amount of the reductions,
except to say that it will effect
substantial savings to the Army" =
The cuts are to be made by the
establishment of specific price CELL
ings for each packer based on his
March prices. OPA pointed out
that since the Army on August 8
changed its specifications for canned
beef, the March ceilings were too
high, and officials said the packers
have been securing excessive prices
since early August"
The first phase Of the reduction
was an order fixing prices for each
of 10 zones throughout the country
which Swift & Co. may charge the
Army. All other packers will be
asked to establish similar prices
generally based on the Swift order.
Swift's maximum prices range from
$21.75 to $3.50 a hundredweight in
the various zones.

Mrs. Roosevelt Tours
London Ineognito;
Ignores Raid Alarm

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Oct. 31.-Calmly ignor-
Ing an afraid alarm, Mrs. Frank
lin D. Roosevelt made an unan-
nunced incognito tour through
blacked-out London tonight with

herself how the armed forces en-

She was chatting with soldiers
and their girl friends at a leave

She paid no attention to it and

the brief alert was still on.
Mrs. Roosevelt created a sensa-

Conversion Of Mars
To Cargo Transport
For Navy Underway
Martin Says Huge Craft,
Built as Air Buttleship,
Will Be Ready Soon
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, Oct. 31.-The huge
Martin Mars, designed as a mighty
battleship of the air, is being con-
verted into a cargo transport for
the Navy, Glen L. Martin announced
today.
The airship is being stripped of
tactical equipment to make room
for bulky and heavy freight, and
should be ready 'in short time, "
the airplane manufacturer said.
The Mars has finished her flight
tests and has proved a highly eff
cient airplane. She is being adapted
for a most important function and
to assure her even greater efficiency
we are installing the latest Wright
Cyclone engines of over 1000 horse
power"
Ships like the Mars can be built
in quantity to serve either as COM
bat plane or cargo carrier, and If
built especially for cargo carrying
would have greater gross weight
than the 100000 pounds of the Mars
as patrol bomber, Mr.. Martin
added.
He said Hardly more than a score
of such flying vessels could deliver
as much cargo from California to
Hawaii in so days as a 10000 ton
Liberty ship. Only 343 ships of the
Mars model could equal the cargo
carrying of a 25-ship surface con-
voy," and the convoy would need
Naval escort vessels besides.
The Mars interior Is equal in cubic
content to a IA or 15-room house
has a super charged cabin allowing
normal breathing for crew on long
hops at high altitude. AS a patrol
bomber she has private stateroom
for the captain, officers quarters
forward and crew quarters aft, just
like Navy surface ship. Two
messes, two shower baths, wardroom
for officers, and recreation space for
crew also are provided in its facil-
tiles.
Evening star., 1942-11-01

Roosevelt laughed heartily as the
soldiers tried to make the device
work and one of them said, '"Ihe
ghost won't walk"
Asked for a speech, Mrs. Roose-
velt said:
II am glad to see that you are
having a good time and I hope you
will all make many friends with
the English. I'd like to take back
the knowledge that you have real
feeling for our British friends. I
hope our soldiers everywhere will
feel closer to men of other coun-
tries
I'VE can't 60 on having wars every
25 years or so. We are going to
win this one. It will take great
deal of hard work, but it's worth
working for
Soldiers Ask for Autographs.
Among the soldiers who asked for
autographs was Pvt. John Powers
of Brooklyn, who told her his
brother Edward was serving under
her son James, major in the ma
rineS.
At the YWCA center a dance was
in progress but the dancers de-
serted the floor to crowd around
Mrs. Roosevelt. Among others who
shook hands with her was Pvt. G..
Campbell of Cincinnati who is in
the Canadian army which he joined
in 1899.
During the day she visited her
husbands godson, Michael George
Charles Franklin, the 4month-old
son of the late Duke of Kent.
Mrs. Roosevelt drove to the Kent
estate, the Coppins, at liver, Buck
inghamshire, for tea with the wild
owed duchess, who gave her-to take
to President Roosevelt-a copy of
the last photograph taken of the
baby and the duke and duchess to-
gether.
Besides the baby, born on July 4
and known as Prince George OF
Kent, Mrs. Roosevelt met the 7
year-old incumbent Duke of Kent
and Princess Alexandra. Their IA
ther was KILLED several weeks ago
in the crash of a military plane
against a Scottish mountainside
while on active duty as an air COM
modore, en- route to Iceland.
After her relatively light day Mrs.
Roosevelt rested tonight in prepa-
ration for a tour of United States
Army posts starting tomorrow.
Chats With Wilhelmina.
During the day she had informal
chats with leaders of two exiled
European governments, visited two
war exhibits and had an off-the-
record luncheon with American
correspondents.
In the morning she visited for
an hour with Queen Wilhelmina of
the Netherlands, who was a White
House guest a few months ago and
also was godparent of the Kent
child. Anthony J. Drexel Biddle,
jr., United States Ambassador to the
Netherlands and other governments
in exile, accompanied Mrs. Roose-
welt.
Next on her calling list were DR.
Eduard Benes, President of the
Czechoslovakia goyernment-in-exile,
and the Czech Foreign Minister, Jan
G. Masaryk.
At chilly st. James Palace, Mrs
Roosevelt saw hundreds of over
coated girl clerks at work in royal
apartments preparing Red Cross
bundles to be sent to prisoners OF
war. When it was explained that
| friends or relatives must pay for the
bundles, she donated 1-pound note
