The torpedoes. launched at close
range, smashed in quick succession
against the after port side, amid
ships and forward, tearing into the
interior with laud blasts and squirt
ing flames onto the quarterback.
I chung tenaciously to the star
board rail until the ships list flung
me into the cold, choppy sea. Then
I battled through the thick, oily

rescued.
The British Admiralty only an

Q McKENNY ON BRIDGE

Many players complain about
their partners, when they could
have avoided disaster by making
a smart play themselves. In to-
days hand, Mrs. Darts Fuller of
New York was Fishbein's part
ner. She led the queen of dia-
monds and declarer correctly
played low from dummy. Fish
bein (South) could have played
the deuce of diamonds, asking
his partner to shift TO a club.
He realized that Mrs. Fuller
should hold the ace of hearts
and ace of clubs, as West, hold
ing either of those aces, would
not have pre-empted.
But suppose that Mrs. Fuller
did not read the deuce of dia-
monds as a suit-direCting play
Fishbein took no chance. He
overlook the queen with the ace,
led his singleton club and North
won with the ace. A club lead
was ruffed by Fishbein, a heart
led and another club ruffed.
Thus Fishbein and his partner
took the first five tricks, setting
the contract two.

picture would cause whole bri-
gades of rockies to try to wan

preston you get on the set is
that the Sub-arctic island is

The scenery is austere enough,
for in all directions you see bar

of sullen, gray ocean. The inn
mediate atmosphere and climate
around the hotel at Reykjavik,
however, are like that of Lake

GAS RATlOklkG WILL SPREAD

Gasoline rotionino is not going TO
be confined permanently to the eastern
seoboord, which thus for hos been the
only victim. In time, the restrictions
will be spread pretty much throughout
the country, except for those fortunate
oreos which have oil fields in their back
yards.
Indirectly, perhaps, this will be at
tributobIe to the effects Of do9-in-
the-moneer ottitude on the part OF
eosterners-or, to be more accurate,
on the port Of some Of their more voci-
ferrous spokesmen.
Humanity, if not generously many
in the east, notably politicians, ore ask
ing loudly why motorists elsewhere
should be permitted unlimited fuel
while those Of 7 states and the District
Of Columbia ore driven to usi~-
shonks' mare.
They ore not satisfied with the ex-
pIonotion thot the gasoline shortage is
q matter Of ronsportotion-thot il is
their bad fortune to live where the fuel
hos to be brought by methods which
have proven inadequate under war con-
ditions.
They contend thot by clever man.
ogement it should be possible TO re-
shuttle tank car, barge and pipeline
facilities SO as to divert some of the
midwest's and southwest's plentiful
supplies to the suffering cost.
While these oeitotors exoooerote
their cose, there is enough merit in
their contention SO that eventually
such shuffling will be attempted.
This will not give the fasteners un-
restricted use Of whatever tire miIeooe
they S ill possess. It will, however,
spread the sacrifice more evenly over
the country
After oil contemplated improve
ments have been made, the eastern
seoboord still will be more than $780,
900 barrels day short Of the mini
mum necessary for war and essential
civilian use.
One Of the methods by which it is
proposed that the supply be spread is
by diverting tank cors from the Iona
Texos-to-AtIontic run, and usno them
to bring gasoline from Chicago refin-
cries This would reduce the amount
available in the midwestern oreo. Of
course.
However the problem is solved, one
warning to the cost and one promise to
the west appear justified.
BY the time such relief becomes
ovolobIe, it will be Of no particular use
to eastern civilians for pleasure driv-
