WORST MAY BE BEST

AMONG ALL possible bad
plays on the defense against a
suit contract. the worst is ordi-
narily supposed to be the lead Of
a suit in which both the declarer
and the dummy are blank, so that
a loser may be discarded from one
holding while the other ruffs.
There are rare occasions, though,
on which such a lead may be the
only possible means Of setting
contract. Usually that will be
when the partner Of the leader Is
also blank In the suit chosen. That
will give him then the option Of
over-ruffing il the intervening
hand trumps. or else discarding
one Of his own losers.

THE STORY: Beth Carter,
WAAC, is MajO: Brit Jackson's
"One-man' staff on the tiny
camouflaged island in the Pacific
where his unit of the Coast Ar
tillery Barrage Balloons battalion
is based. Information leaks are
suspected. After Beth overhears
the mysterious Dita DantOn per-
suade Brit to give free passage to
the plane that brought her and
her companion, Rick Roth, into
forced landing on the island, an
important paper is discovered
missing. Beth decides to do some
sleuthing on her own. She sees
Brit meet Lima and Rick secretly.
He seems about to divulge impOr-
tant military information when
they suddenly become aware of
her presence.

Beth stood before them. Never
had she felt such chagrin and
Lhame as now rushed over her.
OF course Brit would believe Lita
nowl Beth knew she probably
would be placed under immediate
arrest. She might be court-mar-
tailed, and very likely would be
dismissed from the service, or at
least sent home in disgrace. What
else could Brit think, after he
mad caught her spying on him?
Any protestation she might make
as to her good intentions, or her
thought of assisting him, would be
disbelieved and in vain.
To add to her shame, Lita was
castigating her.
Brit told me he had lost a Sc
cret document, but I don't think
he'd have believed you were con-
nected with its loss unless he
could have caught you like this"

CONFUSION
You can't blame New York City
editors who give prominent space
to the meetings sponsored by the
Jewish Peoples Committee, the
COmmunist-dOminated OrganiZa-
ton which is now eagerly rubbing
elbows with the bOurgeOisie and
the rabbis and the ZiOniSts. One
Zionist leader vigorously criticised
Rabbi Israel GOldstein, a colleague,
for having shared the platform
at one of these gatherings, where
its Communist organizers hoped
GOIdstein would forget that they
had applauded the Arab victims"

1929 1t was interesting to

Sir Herbert Emerson, the original
Col. Blimp, is turning a cold eye
on Jewish pleas with Britain to
help start a large scale rescue
movement of Jewish children. The
Director of the IntergOvernmental
Committee for Refugees thinks
Jews are making too much fuss a.
bout their troubles, deserving
some of them.
