British started school on Nauru,
the pupils spoke one or another Of
hVe languages, counting English.
The teacher gave a mixed lam
guage and safety lesson, using
sentence printed in English, Chi
nese and three other languages.
The sentence told of the danger of
getting in the way of a train.
Actually, there are no trains on
the Gilberts or on Nauru. The peo-
pie can travel to any part of any
island by the old-fashioned method
of walking.
There Is little danger in travel
ing from one island to another, but
the natives are well versed in the
art OF caring for boats. They make
their living largely by fishing. Some
of their boats have large sails and
long, narrow hulls. To keep them
from tipping over, the natives place
outriggers on them. Even a small
boat with no sail is usually fitted
with an outrigger.
People of the Gilberts have a
legend that the first white man
who ever came to their islands was
"a tall, thin giant with red hair and
a long beard" 'Tis said that he ar
rived "in boat shaped like box"
and that the time was "16 genera
tions ago."
Very possibly, some white sailor
from wrecked vessel did reach the
Gilberts long ago, but we have no
record of it except in the legend. So
far as history tells, captain of the
British Navy first observed the is
lands in 1776. 1t seems that he did
not 60 ashore, but caused a note to
be made in his log book.
Twenty-three years later. another
British captain, Gilbert by name,
explored the area, and today the is
lands bear his name.

The horrible grand slam con-
tract-off the ace of spades-was due
to North's misconception of the
four-f1ve no-trump convention which
he and his partner had agreed to
play. When South answered the
four no-trump bid (Which, in itself,
was technically incorrect) with five
no-trump, North thought his partner
had two aces. He forgot that the
responder may also bid five no.
trump with one ace and the kings
of all bid suits.
West, f1guratively tossing coin
between a spade and a club lead,
was so unfortunate as to guess the
latter. On his deuce of clubs lead,
declarer, after glaring bitterly at his
partner, finessed the ten spot He
then led two rounds of trumps, in
tending, If they broke tWo-tWo, to
take second club finesse, discard
a diamond on the club king, then
attempt to ruff out the diamond
suit by leading king, ace and third
round.
This plan didn't look so good
when East failed on the second
round of trumps. Now declarer was
afraid to lead two diamonds while
leaving a trump at large Instead,
he drew all of Vests trumps, then
took second club flnesse and dis
carded one spade and one diamond
on the ace-king of clubs. Return
ing to his own hand with a dia-
mond, he laid down his three re-
naming trumps and, as he had
hoped, East was squeezed to a pulp.
Forced to hold the spade ace (Which
declarer knew he had because of
Vests failure to lead it,, he could
not keep his diamond queen guarded,
and declarer made the fulfilling
trick with the diamond jack.
If the trumps had broken two-two,
declarer would have been defeated
by properly trying to ruff out the
diamonds.

Uncle Roy's Corner

Yesterday we were speaking about
Nauru and the nearby Gilbert
Islands. They are in the Pacific
Ocean. northeast of the Solomons.
All those islands were in the Brit
ish Empire before the outbreak Of
the war. Shortly after Pearl Har-
Dor, they were occupied by Japa-
nese soldiers.
Going back to the time of the
last census, the Gilberts had pop
ulation of 1902 people and Nauru
had 1852. That was an average Of
203 persons for each square mile,
which means chat the islands have
been rather thickly settled.
The people who lived 'on the is
lands when the Japanese came were
not only skinned folk, but
also Chinese and whites. When the

The Seventy eighth Congress
demonstrating by more than a score
of Investigations its determination
to keep finger on the pulse of the
Nations war program, may inquire
into the Governments part in de-
veloping huge electric power projects
both at home and beyond United
States borders.
Creation of a special 10-member
joint committee is sought by Repre-
sentative Coffee, Democrat, of Wash
ington to study the subject and, it
was learned today, his proposal has
drawn strong support among men,
bers of the powerful House Rules
Committee.
Under his plan, the committee
would focus it's attention on the Gov
ernment agencies concerned with
scheduling, production and, DISPOSE
ton" of equipment and facilities "for
furnishing electric power and energy
for war or defense purposes"
In his initial appearance before
the Rules Committee, Mr.. Coffee de-
clared that the proposed committee
should inquire into circumstances
surrounding a loan to the Aluminium
Company of Canada for development
OF power plant in that country to
produce the metal.
He maintained that material from
the United States had been fur.

nished for that project under pri-
critics higher than those granted
similar projects in this country and
argued that Canada, after the war,
would have the finest aluminium
plant in North America.
Supporting the move, Representa-
tive Voorhis, Democrat, of Califor-
mia, told the committee that the
Power Division of the War Produc-
ton Board was dominated" by
dollar-a-year men from the biggest
public utilities in the country.
While the Rules Committee held
up action on the proposal tempo
rarily. Chairman SABBATH, Democrat,
of Illinois. declared today that 1T
is matter that deserves a real
hearing. Here we are, spending
millions on millions, some of which
is going for projects outside this
country, creating a situation which,
unless corrected now, may work to
the disadvantage of the United

Paul Revere Rides in Capital

going, the one-time newspaper
publisher and erstwhile secretary to

averse to public notice when he
dons his cfusading clothes. This
time he dressed like historical pic
lures of Paul Revere and planned
to Straddle his mount-by the name
of Prince of Wales"-and canter
down Pennsylvania avenue to the
White House to petition the Presi-
dent.
But one horse is a parade on the
Avenue and parades around the
White House are out for the dura-
ton. He next planned a gallop
up the Avenue to the Capitol to
tackle his members in Congress
but that was ruled out, too.
So he's just going to trot around
town for the benefit of the general
public - and incidentally petition
Congress to do something about
saving that 100000 pints of bootleg.

Mr.. Albright's indignation-and its
laws provide that all illicit liquor
seized by officers of the law must
be forthwith destroyed"
And that, says the anti-prohibi-

a shame when it could be turned
over to the Medical Corps of the
