on South to show his aces. North
wanted to know whether South
held the ace of clubs or the king
of hearts besides the ace and
king of spades, to decide wheth-
err to bid the small or grand
slam. South responded five
diamonds" West passed, and at
about the same time South said,
mo l mean five hearts. Five
diamonds in the Blackwood sys-
tenn shows one ace; five hearts
shows two aces.
East and West called attention
to the fact that South had made
two bids, the second being a bid
out Of rotation. The director was
called and ruled, under the law
on the bid out of rotation, that
the five-heart bid was void and
North was barred from the auc-
ton. Over South's protest, East
passed and South was left in five
diamonds, at which he was set.
The case was appealed up TO
the National Laws Commission.
That body issued a ruling appli-
cable to many such situations
that grow out of errors in the
use of slam conventions: The
question of the law is to permit
a player, if his partner is to be
barred for the rest of the auc-
ton, TO have free choice of his
call. This intention is shown in
the law on misnomer and on
insufficient bids. A bidder
should not be compelled to play
a cue bid, in a suit which his
side does not bid, through q le-
galistic Interpretation. In this
case, he should ,ave been allow
ed to substitute any other suffi-
cient bid that he wished for his
bids of five diamonds and five
hearts. In other words, he
could return to spades or clubs,
but must make the decision with
no further help from North.

eBEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON

That was the beginning. Ecua-
dor wanted to colonize the area
but had no money and lacked
technical experts. So, last March
a deal was made with the Insti.
tute of Inter-American Affairs,
a Rockefeller office subsidiary
corporation, to lend a hand. A
u. S. mission o engineers, spe-
cialists in tropical medicine, ag-
ricultural economists, nursing
administrators, sanitary engi-
neerS, relief workers and assort-
ed experts was recruited to 90
into the area.
STRICTLY FROM SCRATCH
Forty thousand colonists were
ready to move in, but were to-
tally lacking in equipment and
know-how. Nearly 80 per cent of
these people had tropical dysen-
terry and malaria which had to
be cured before anything could
be accomplished. They had no
food to last till they could get
their own crops producing, no
seed, few tools. 1t was strict
ly from scratch. The list of sup
plies for the colonists included
everything from 1000 machetes,
to cooking utensils, to 10000
pounds of GEOGRAPHICALLY rice,
beans, lard.
1t was midsummer before the
first colonists moved in. and the
six months that have elapsed
since the Ell Orc expedition got
going havn't given enough time
to tell how this is all going to
work out. Allen r. Edwards, in
charge of the u. S. technical
mission, came back to Washing
ton recently. He was hopeful.
The country has rich soil and
agricultural resources, he says.
The land can be made to pro-
duce rubber, quinine, hemp,
foods, flbers.
Already the Ecuadoreans have
improved the little harbor of
Puerto Bolivar at the mouth of
the Guayas river as trade CEN
ter. A hospital and medical
training center have been OPEN
ed. A model stock farm is being
established, demonstration farms
set up.
DOING 1T ALL AROUND
This is the type of rehabilita-
ton work which this Institute, of
Inter American Affairs is tack
ling in other distress areas of
Latin America as part of the
Rockefeller office program of
Basic Economy. The whole thing
is an effort to help these coun-
tries which have lost their ex-
port trade become self suffic-
lent.
In Costa RIGA it's a food-rais-
ing program to supply u. S. for
ces in the Panama Canal zone.
In Honduras it's trans-isth-
mus bodybuilding program.
In Peru it's sanitary engineer
ing preliminary to development
of the Chimbote coal and iron
fields.
In Haiti It's an effort to shift
the country away from coffee,
sugar and bananas to produc-
ton of fibers. spices, essential
oils and hardwoods.
In Brazil there's a 81 million
development, half financed by
the U. S., half by Brazil, to raise
food for the rubber tappers.
Agricultural experiment sta
tions on the American pattern
have been started in five coun-
tries. In all, there are more thar
100 rehabilitation and food de-
velopments already functioning.
