Closer Cooperation
Between Retailers
And OPA Sought

With the object of promoting
more complete cooperation here be-
tween retailers and the Office OF
Price Administration in carrying
out price and rationing regulations,
a labor advisory committee, repre-
Senting the big union groups. was in
process of organization today.
Such committee was requested
last night by G. r. Atkinson, ma
tional labor liaison officer of OPA,
at a meeting With labor represents
atives.
1t was decided that the committee
would consist of four representatives
each from the American Federation
of Labor, the Congress of Industrial
Organizations and the railroad

Won't Attempt "Snooping."
John Locher, president of the
Central Labor Union (AFL) who is
lining up the ALF members. ex-
planned today that it was not the
intention to name committee of
'snoopers," who would go about
trying to catch violators of price
ceilings and ration rules.
I'VE believe" he said, that the
great majority of grocers and their
retailers want to obey all the OPA
regulations. But the regulations
are changing constantly. and it's
hard for them to keep up with the
changing picture. We hope to make
our advisory committee educational.
1t will not be police force OF
course, If We find dealers who will
fully persist in violating the regu-
lations, naturally we'l report them.
But we feel that most of the VIOLA
tions have been unintentional."
Appointments Due Soon.
Mr.. Atkinson told the labor off,
cials that labor could be of great
help to OPA by giving it's organized
strength to aiding enforcement.
This could be done, he said, by
counseling dealers to obey the law
and by ferreting out those who per-
sisted in violating it.
The Labor Advisory Committee
is to be appointed within the next
few days by local councils of the
three big groups. The committee
will hold its first meeting with local
OPA officials at the Force School,
1740 Massachusetts, avenue NV, at
pm. August II.
The committee is to be aided by
price panel assistants in the various
labor organizations. who will report
difficulties or violations of OPA
orders.

A program to bring water to
thirsty Victory gardens at the end
Of Sligo Creek Parkway and Forest
Glen road in Silver Spring Md, and
other large tracts is being formu-
lated today by Montgomery County

of the successful efforts of auxiliary

Beach drive and East-WeS high
way last night.
Pumping from nearby Rock Greek.
the auxiliary firemen sprayed water
on the gardens at the rate of $50
gallons a minute. The water was
pumped through two lines of OCD
hose totaling 1880 feet, with the
nozzle pointing skyWard so the
water would fall like heavy rain

defense director. who conceived the
idea, said that with the success of

Close relatives of tarSiers are the
lemurs on the island of Madagascar.
Sometimes they are claSSed as mem
bers of the lemur family, but they
are not true lemurs.
The Malay peninsula is the only
part of any continent where tar
siers are to be found. Otherwise we
must look for them on islands near
Asia, such as Java, Borneo and
Sumatra.
With its large ears and google
eyes, the tarSier makes an odd
looking sight-When it can be seen.
If you wish to have a good view Of
a living tarsier, you probably will
have to go into the region where

You will need to choose a moon
lit night to see tarsier, since these
animals hide away and sleep during
the daytime. Even then. you may
not have the fortune to see one
before it sees you and gets to cover.
Insects and small lizards are the
chief food of tarsiers. Often they
seek out pitcher plants and rob
them of the insects which the plants
have captured!
1t is hard to say whether a tar
sier has four feet or four hands.
Each of its feet, or hands, is we'll

Of thumb. There are pads on the
fingers and these give further

West opened his singleton ten of
diamonds. East dropped the deuce
and South won with his ace, which
didn't fool West a bit Neither did
declarer's lead of the jack of spades.
West went right up with his ace and
led-the deuce of clubs!
South could hardly be expected to
realize that West was undertaking
all five club honors. He never even
gave a thought to playing dummy's
nine. AS a result, East won with
his seven spot and returned a dia-
mond for West to ruff. West still
had one more very necessary play
to make. He had to cash the heart
ace at once. If he hadn't, South
could have drawn one more round
of trumps and discarded all four of
dummys hearts on the good dia-
monds. But West followed through
his first good play by cashing the
heart ace because he was in no
doubt that South, if he had another
loser, must have a heart.
The key to Vests defense was his
count of declarer's hand from the
bidding. South had first bid dh-
monds; later bid and rebid spades.
He must, therefore, have more dia-
monds than spades and he had at
least five spades. There was a
chance that South held two clubs
and no hearts; but this would have
meant East had six hearts and a
singleton club, and with such hold
ing East would probably have bid
two hearts over Vests two-club bid.
The accuracy of Vests reasoning
was proved by the success of his
