The U. S. Army, Navy and
affiliated services are winning
this war with more typewriters
than they have airplanes, tanks
and artillery weapons combined.
President Roosevelt's message to
Congress revealed the figures on
total arms production to date
$4,000 planes, $4,000 tanks,
$4,000 artillery weapons. The
total is $4,000 pieces of equip
ment. But the number of type
writer's in service, as revealed by
a War Production Board release,
is 25,000-nearly as large as
the number Of airplane engines
produced. which is $40, 900, or
an average of not quite three en-
gines per plane.
Using the accepted figure of
10 million men in the armed
services by the end of the year,

To the champion player an un-
expected bad break does not
mean a hand must be given up.
On the contrary, it means that
the time has come TO start work
ing and figure a way out OF the
mess. Sidney Silodor of Phila-
delphia, who has won one world
championship title this year and
finished second and third in the
other two, made a comeback on
today's hand when il seemed
hopeless.
On the first trick the diamond
queen was finessed and won.
After caShing the spade ace, Sill
odor (South) led low club from
dummy. He ducked EaSt's jack
and won when East continued
with the club king Then spade
lead TO the king revealed the
bad break apparently two
clubs, a heart and a spade TO
lose.
But the eight of clubs was led
from dummy. East won and re-
turned his low club, South's nine
standing up. Then the spade
queen was caShed and diamond
led TO the ace. East did not
trump, but South ruffcd a dia-
mond i'm his hand and led his
last trump. This time East had
to win and lead a heart, which
was allowed 10 ride TO dummy 5
queen. so that the contract was
made.
