BY WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY America's Card Authority

Despite the winning of champion ships and the buying of bonds, the bridge players at the recent na- tional tournament did not overlook the children's ward maintained by the League in their fight on can- cer. A large milk bottle was placed on the entry table, and the players dropped more than $500 in the bot tie during the week, to help the unfortunate babies in their ward.
 At first glance today's hand looks simple enough for a baby to make, but 1t proved to be quite problem. Many pairs reached five clubs with various bidding. The con- tract looks easy as all suits are broken as best they can be for the declarer-but he has entry trouble. What should he do after trumping the first lead in dummy? Some East players tried taking out trumps, then leading a diamond for a f1nesse won by the queen. North led @ spade and South won. But now most South players refused to help the declarer by a third spade lead. A switch to hearts forced dummy in and declarer had to lose a heart trick.
 Other East players at trick two led a low diamond from dummy. South won with the king and led the queen of spades. No declarer had the wit to let this hold, but when dummy ruffed, the only way to make the contract was too dif- ficult to guess.
 A few East players at trick two led a low heart. North was in with the nine and could not guess the necessity for @ diamond re- turn. Either a trump or spade lead let the declarer establish the hearts by a ruff, take out trumps, and re- turn with the diamond ace to make three long hearts.

"OH, Frankie, " Or Love In SW00n

When the Voice gave out with the melody, the capacity crowds of girls in hair ribbons and pigtails were assembled in spirit of rev. erence ... for the Voice was none other than Prank Sinatra, and the New York Paramount became the "Citadel of Swoon."
 What there is about this ema- ciated-looking young man who has such an effect on a large segment of the female population, is an un- known quantity, but effect he has, especially on the younger element from thirteen to eighteen. The ush- CTS at the Paramount carried bottles of smelling salts to revive the listeners to the sentimental ditties that are Sinatra's driving force. Every day at this theater one or more maidens had to be carried out, tearing their hair, foaming at the mouth and muttering wild en- dearments. These are 'Sinatra Swooners," a new cult of fanatical females that worship the ground he walks on, and the air he voices into. ,
 Francis Sill Wickware analyses Sinatra in the September issue of COSMOPOLITAN. The young, bony and frail-looking boy with the deep- set, breeding blue eyes and ruffled brown hair, who when he hits a line like You'd be so nice to come home to and love-" causes the little girls to squeal and wriggle and clutch one another and moan.
 The Voice is very philosophical about all this mental damage he does. He describes himself as a bedroom singer" and knows what to expect. He has been likened to the Pied Piper of Hamelin, but he is scarcely menacing character, even though he makes girls swoon and grow hysterical and play tru- ant, and this is not confined en-

man domination and Allied air raids, the dispatch said.
 Reaction To Orlando
 Observers saw little significance in the fact that 83-year- former Premier Vittorio Emanuele Orlando, Italys representative at the Ver- sailles negotiations, also spoke. He was brought to the microphone only as a native Sicilian, they be- lieved, and there was little prospect that he might take over from Bad oglio to arrange peace.
 A Swiss dispatch said an Italian diplomatic mission had arrived in Lisbon to conduct peace negotia- tions with British authorities, but the Italian legation in Lisbon as- serted the mission merely had gone there to meet Italian diplomats due to arrive from Chile Sunday.
 Other Swiss reports asserted that some 700,000 of Milans 1,219, 240 in- habitants had fled the bomb batter ed city, which had been almost con- pletely destroyed. Two more Milan city officials, the commissioner of the council for Milan hospitals and the chairman of the provincial ad- ministrative council, have resigned, Rome broadcast said.

q supreme Allied commander for the European theater - the man who will direct any offensive against western Europe-has been chosen and his name will be announced soon.
 My information is that he will De an Englishman,' Iddon reported.
 Radio London and Radio Algiers broadcast what they described as c statement from the Allied con- nnand to the people of France as- serting that a new stage in the liberation of occupied countries had begun with the conquest of Sicily.
 Though the broadcasts said the Allies obviously are not going to reveal beforehand from which quarter we will strike next" they told the French people that the time had arrived to devote all your efforts to perfecting your prepara- tionS."
 "All those elements who wish to contribute in any way whatsoever to the success of the eventual oper- ation on French metropolitan terri tory must be fully equipped to car " out their task" the broadcasts said.
 Prepare For Role
 You must prepare yourselves day by day and week by week for the role that you will have to play at a future date-which might be near in the liberation of your country.
 Each one of you must know to whom to turn for orders; what use full information is available; how to facilitate the task of the Allied forces, and how to make more diffi- cult the task of the enemy we urge you to perfect all your prep arations in the shortest possible time"
 The broadcasts acknowledged that similar requests had been broad cast to the French people in the past, but significantly emphasized that this was "one of the greatest importance.
 Radio Algiers broadcast mess age to the Italian people that the Germans in their country "are in your power" and gave minute de- tails of the location of communi- cations lines which 1t said should be sabotaged as "a contribution to the ruin of Germany"
 Will Bring Destruction
 By fighting her war on Italian soil, Germany inevitably will bring destruction on the peninsula, as she already has done in Sicily and will drag Italy to her unavoidable ruin, ,' the broadcast added
 North Africa reports said the Germans already have begun to abandon the Reggie Calabria area of southern Italy opposite Messina and . Madrid dispatch asserted they had entrained for Rome.
 Italian Premier Marshal Pietro Badcglio made his first radio broad cast yesterday. but confined his re- marks solely to message of sym pathy to conquered Sicily and an Italian frontier dispatch said his failure to mention peace had plunged Italy into gloom.
 Tbe sympathy which he extended to Sicily particularly irritated the Italian people, who had only envy for population receiving ample ' food supplies and are free of Ger

They said the Germans snatched food from the civilians and even shot some who fought for the food which had ben allotted them. Some residents still showed scars of Ger man mistreatment and one remark ed:
 ". You see now why we well comed your bombers, even If it meant our homes would be destroy ed. We knew they would free us from the Germans"
 An Italian major told how the Germans always were the first in air raid shelters when the alert sounded. He said they didn't even wait for the bombs to drop. but scurried for protection as soon as planes were sighted.
 We had to post armed guards at the big civilian shelters" he added, ito prevent the German troops from taking the places al- lotted to civilians. Some of the sem tries were wounded, SO fierce were these struggles"
 In addition to taking all trans including ambulAnces, to sped their evacuation. the Germans even disarmed Italian soldiers and took the pistols from Italian om- cers.
 Some Italian officers apologized on surrendering, because they were unarmed or had only rifles.

Conferences In Quebec Give Axis Headache

here means one thing: along with the plans for the next big military operation, international political blueprints were being drawn. Be- fore the parties were questions such as these: What happens now that the occupation of Sicily is complet- ed? How will the Allies reconstitute a French government when they have invaded continental French sail? What about Russia?
 Churchill To Russia?
 Meantime there were widely cir culated reports that Churchill or Eden, or both, would go to Moscow at the conclusion of the conference to tell Premier Josef Stalin about the decisions.

Northrup wah the staff at tendant in charge of the cottage housing Rispos and 32 other low grade inmates. Preliminary find- ings by Coroner Miles F. McNiff, Jr., revealed that Northrup had found the boy in a condition of acute shock following his bath by the other inmate. and notified the in- stitution's physician, Dr. Albert Deutch.
 The inmate-attendan had ap- parently removed the spray nozzle from the rubber hose and allowed the stream of water to penetrate the boys body.
 Supt. Ernest Roselle said that the shortage of help had forced the institution to adoptt he policy of allowing higher-grade inmates to help in ministering for some of the more helpless patients. He said that the inmate who had been bathing RispoH had the mentality of a six year old and had been trained in this sort of work.
 Coroner Miles F. McNiff, Jr., said this morning that he had not yet finished his inquest into Rispoli's death, and that the arrest of Northrup was an independent &C., tion of the state attorneys of- flee.
 The warrant against Edwin w. Holmes charges that on July 8 and @ in Southbury, he did "cruelly and unlawfully punish one Kenneth Smith in violation of section 6O61 of the general statutes" It also charges him with assault on Ken meth Smith on July Q. $1,000 bonds were set for his appearance before the fall term of the superior court on Sept. 21.
 The Holmes case started an in- vestigation of the Southbury school two weeks ago by Southbury Prose- cutor Russell Warner, when Charles Smith of Bridgeport charged that the cottage master had abused his son Kenneth, . 16-year old inmate of the institution for running away. Smith produced an affidavit from William vindl. 8 cook at the in- stitution. who swore that he had seen Holmes punch the boy many times.
 July g as punishment for running away from the school. Vindl charg- ed further that Holmes had forced the boy under . cold shower and kept him there for twenty minutes till the boy was on the verge of col lapse from exhaustion: and that he had then confined him to a mat tressless room and fed him only bread and water.
 Supt. Roselle had denied all of Smiths charges, and said that Holmes had slapped the boy, an in- fraction of the rules for which he was suspended. He said that Holmes had a high reputation at the school.
 Supt. Roselle welcomed Atty. Fitz- gerald's Investigation, saying that his school had nothing to hide. He expressed regret at the grief caused parents of the schools by the pub- licity attending the recently events at the institution. and said he had received nothing but encouragement from parents.
