clarer in at least two suits out
side of trumps, perhaps in all
three suits. The hand is in eff
feet a no-trumper. West must,
therefore be careful not to help
the declarer by his opening
lead.
The heart suit is topped by
the king. The experienced play
er dislikes leading a low card
away from king, against a
suit contract, for he may there
by give the declarer the first
two tricks in the suit and there
may be no third round.
The club suit is topped by one
of the two-card sequences that
are always awkward PROPOSE
tons. If East does not hold an
honor, club lead will probably
lose a trick. Even if East holds
an honor, West may do dam
age by guessing wrong whether
to lead the queen or the five.
To lead spades from the
Jack small looks dangerous.
The jack is a piece of a stopper,
but if East holds another piece
tQx-x or K-x-x), the lead may
kill it.
In iamonds West has Meth
or the length to assure that the
declarer cannot bring in long
cards, nor the chortncss that
gives prospect Of a ruff. Also,
there is another two-card Sc
quence.
But the lead of an honor
from J-10-x actually has better
chances of being safe than a
lead from DIX. as lite re-
Election will show. Hence
Vests correct opening lead is
positively indicated - the jack
of diamonds.

in the fine home of some uppity
people, Miss O'Driscoll proceed
ed to do a strip!
There was nothing teasing or
dangerous about it, though.
Frances Clifford, daughter of the
house, made a resentful COM
ment about Miss O'Dricoll wear
ing her clothes. In fine fury,
the blond actress thereupon UNI
tipped the dress, stepped out of
it and threw it in Miss Gifford's
face. AS her ungracious hostess
fled, Miss O'Driscoll took off her
shoes and threw them, too.
During several rehearsals and
couple of actual takes, this bit
of action was fun to watch, but
Director Robert Siodmak wasn't
satisfied. The dress had been
specially designed for quick re-
moval, but while Miss O'Dris-
coll struggled out of it there still
was lag of three or four Sc
conds which seemed to spoil the
fast, angry tempo of the scene.
He solved the problem in a
rather startling way. The cam
era was moved in so that it
would photograph Miss O'Dris-
coll in a three-quarter shot
from head to a little above her
knees. Two property men then
lay flat on their backs and each
grasped the hem of the dress. AS
soon as she unzipped it and start
ed to peel, the men who lay just
out of camera range yanked at
the skirt. Before you could say

Yesterday l saio that the ideal
blind opening lead is from a Sc
uuence of three honors. The
chance OF losing trick by
such a lead is remote, and at
the same time the lead operates
to force out declarer's high
card.
There is a tendency on the
part of experienced players to
classify many other possible
leads as either desirable or UNI
favorable. Some of these other
possibilities are illustrated by
the West hand today.
West knows from the bidding
that North has a balanced pat
tern with probably three spades
South has a hand of general
strength. with five spades.

of Australia said the fall of
Singapore signaled the start of
the battle of Australia. Paul
Mcclure in Westward the
Counsel" Morrow: $3.75) indi-
Gates the loss of Australia and
New Zealand would just about
complete the downfall of the al
lies in the Pacific.
This book went to press few
days after Pearl Harbor, but so
we'll does the author know the
islands, people, so-called strong
holds and traditions of the west
ern Pacific that his work is a
valuable contribution to our
knowledge of those lands Japan
wants-and no wonder they
want them.
Many Americans will suffer a
smack in their smugness to
learn that New Zealand has the
lowest infant mortality rate in
the world-32 in 1000 births as
compared with our, 56 per 1000.
This land down under also had
universal education and state
hospitals in 1870, long before
such things were common here.
Westward the Course!-sub-
titled 1.-The New World Of
Oceania"-is no cooked-up tour
of glamor lands. It's sarongless,
and the soft breezes of tropical
islands bloweth not through its
pages. Instead, MCGUIRE ex-
plains the background and the
pre-Pearl Harbor status, social,
economic and geographical, of
the Malay states, Dutch East In
dies, New Zealand and Australia,
Japanese-controlled islands of
the area and a few-out-of-the-
way spots which havn't hit the
headlines yet.
Most of us did not realize, or
did not want to, how important
these islands were to our econ
omy. We do know that tires and
teething rings are rationed. Nc
CURE thinks the Dutch and
British did great job of colon
izing Oceanic and developing
the rich resources. Now we re-
gret they didn't do a greater job
of preparing to defend what may
cause the Rising Sun to blaze
high in the sky for years to
come.
Mcclure defens British colo
NAL policy and we might argue
with him about that, but there's
more at stake now than the fate
of the British Empire in he Pa
cific. 1t would have been inter-
esting, however, il he had devel-
oped the theme of why the Japa-
nese, of all the Pacific islanders
refused to be good.

to show the actress stepping out
of the dress and hurting it at Miss
Clifford.
EARLY START
Tulsa born Miss O'Driscoll
was given dancing lessons from
the age of 3. When she was 8,
the family moved to Phoenix,
Ariz., and there she attained
such precocious physical devel-
opment that Hollywood was
quite willing to accept her age
as ID when she and her mother
came here in 1885.
For nearly year, she danced
in all the musicals at Paramount
and then accepted contract at
Universal, where her true age,
IA, was discovered. That brought
complications; it meant that she
had to attend school, that she
was too young for chorus work,
but that she was too mature
looking for sub-ingenue roles.
After few small parts and a
considerable interval in which
she finished high school, the
O'Driscoll career took an up
turn in 1939-40, then faltered
again. Now just turning 90,
she's back at Paramount. Her
parts in Pacific Blackout" and
Reap the Wild Wind led to her
rediscovery, and now she's es-
tablished as one of the town S
most fetching feminine leads.

HOLLYWOOD, March 3-Vir-
tually on the eve of long sought
dramatic stardom in the movies,
blond Martha O'Driscoll got
back into a set of sequines today
and became dancer again. Only
this time she became a bubble
d ancer-the first one that Hol-
lywood has sene in long while.
However, there will be no
commotion at the Hays Office
over her momentary assumption
of the role of a mink from Min
sky's. The complaints, if any,
will come from patrons Of the
bubble lodging art pioneered by
Faith Bacon and Sally Rand.
Miss O'Driscoll, it must be ad-
mitted, wore enough clothes to
make a backdrop for the aver
age bubble act.
Her bble-dancing, though,
is just an incident in the new
picture called My Heart Be-
longs to Daddy" A huge poster
of her will adorn a burlesque
theater lobby, and when Prof.
Richard Carlson comes in search
of his Grant sweetheart he
learns the horrifying truth.

These we're few Of the headlines
during the greet controversy over the
Gorond rifle in the summer OF l94o.
Practically everything, it seemed
was wrong with the new weapon. a
few months before it had been widely
hoiled as the most devastating shouI-
der-piece ever devised.
Then suddenly the nation was told
that the rifle showed "omozing inoe-
curocies" even at mid-combot ranges

because Of the relatively poorer occur
ocy of the Gorond, as compared With
the Springfield rifle, the Marine Corps
had materially lowered its quoIifico-
ton scores in order to maintain the
moroIe Of enlisted men.
Now we have q new witness. His
name is Douglas A. Macarthur. Re-
porting from the Botoon peninsula,
General Macarthur tells the War De-
pertinent the performance Of the Cor
and has been "exceIIent," that the rifle
operated with no mechanical defects
and did not develop stopPoees from
dust or dirt. The Gorond had been in
almost constant oeton for as much as
q week without cleaning or Publication.
Macarthur suggested no notifications
In parts or assembly.
Thot report pretty we'll answers the
critics, but it need not damn every lost
one Of them. The Gorond has been con-
stontIy improved, undoubtedly many
Improvements have been due to this
type of criticism At the same time, the
Army is to be commended for sticking
with the Gorond and not tossing it into
the pond, as some critics advocated.
Macarthur himself shares in this
triumph for the new rifle As Army
chief of stoff he insisted that the guns
coliber be changed to 30 SO that its
ammunition would conform with that

that the Philippine army did not have

IN WASHINGTON No

fourth year students have been
urged to join the Army or Navy
medical reserve, which will be
needing thousands of doctors
for field service.
Supplying trained nurses hos
proved q bigger and more i'm
mediote headache because the
expanding miIitoy forces
brought heavy demands on the
normal supply Of 10000 new
nurses yearly. There develops
ed on octuoI shortage of nur-
ses. The estimated require
ments we're for $4,000 new
nurses this year. Congress had
to step in with an opproprio-
ton Of more than q million
dollars to expand training in
stitutions giving the recooniz:
ed three year course and to
give refresher courses to nurses
no longer working at the pro-
fession.
HELP FOR HOSPITALS
POW d ing the hospitals,
schools, Woterworke and sewers
for expanding defense commu-
mites is something that runs
into money. Since many Of
these expansions we're tempo
rory, it was no felt that the To-
col communities could be osk-
ed to finance these public
works completely. SO the feder-
al government has stepped in
to help. Presidential approval
is required for each of these
projects otter investigation and
the issuance Of q certificate
Of necessity by ODHWS. Then
the Federal Works agency steps
in to do the job. So far, more
than 1000 Of these projects
have been approved for cost.
Of Sl7O million. Included in
the list ore some 300 hospitals,
286 schools and ESQ recreo-
ton centers. All these ore for
civilion needs. In q separate
Gloss ore the ESQ recreation
centers being built under the
ODHWS Recreation section,
headed by Mark A. McCIoskey,
at camps and bosses for the
armed services. One hundred
ard ten Of these have oIreody
been dedicated and So ore un-
