Against the six-spade contract
West found the most damaging lead,
a heart. but South was more than
equal to his task.
Playing on the assumption that
the hand with the long trumps
would be the shorter in diamonds,
South won the heart in dummy and
played small trump to his ace.
Now the ace Of diamonds was
played. followed by two more rounds
Of diamonds, on the last of which
South threw his losing heart.
West was helpless. II he trumped,
the trump king In dummy would
later drop both the outstanding
trumps, and South would then throw
his losing club on good diamond.
West refused to trump, but South
simply cashed the spade king and
led fourth diamond, throwing his
club. West could now make only
his trump queen.
Six diamonds would have been an
easier contract to make.

Johnson Charges GI
Shoes Are PuIverized
To Make Fertilizer
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
An assertion by Representative
johnson. Republican, of Illinois,
that well-heeled and soled Army
shoes were being ground up by the
carload for use as fertilizer enliv-
ened House debate yesterday on
the Lease-Lend- UNRA appropria-
ton bill.
Holding aloft a pair of GI shoes
with glistening soles, Mr.. johnson
said he was informed they had
been shipped to fertilizing plant
in his district which he identified as
the Smith Rowland Fertilizing Co.,
near Granite City, Ill.
Later the War Department said
the International Shoe Co. oper-
ates for the Army shoe rebuilding
plant at Hannibal, Mo. Shoes
found unfit for salvage are sold to
fertilizer companies.
The Department said that re-
Gently shipment OF shoes from the
Aleutians was reported unfit for re-
building and ordered sold to the
Smith Rowland Co. at a price OF
.0228 cents pound. A Department
spokesman said that while the De-
partment SO far had no specific in
formation, it was possible some re-
parable shoes had been overlooked
in this shipment and sent to the
Illinois fertilizer concern.
Representative johnson said that
instead Of new funds being appro-
priated for shoes and clothing for
residents of foreign countries re-
taken from the Axis, the Army well
might turn over its unneeded shoes.
Mr.. johnson also complained that
the Army had sold upward of 10000
|rubberized waterproof coats Of the
variety used by sportsmen for a
price averaging less than s. each
to a company which retailed them
for minimum of S6.45.

Red Cross Worker 10 Get
Silver Star for GaIIantry

James P. Shaw of North Apollo,
Pa, the first American Red Cross
worker in this war to be awarded
the Silver Star for gallantry in
action, will be decorated at a cere-
'mony here tomorrow.
Mr.. Shaw, 80, former clergyman
and now field director, rescued
American soldiers from the sea near
Licata, Italy, last July IL, when a
German dive bomber scored a direct
hit on landing barge.
He left safety on the shore and
went to the rescue of the men, help
ing many through the rough water.
Despite enemy fire, the citation
stated, he continued to care for the
wounded.
"The gallantry of Mr.. Shaw on
this occasion is distinct credit to
the American Red Cross" it added.
Maj. Gen. John T. Lewis, COM
|mander of the Washington Military
District, will present the award at
a ceremony in Memorial Continental
Hall at Ais pm. tomorrow. The
occasion will be a meeting of the
District Red Cross personnel on the
eve of the opening of the annual
Red Cross War Fund Campaign.
Mr.. Shaw's wife and two young
daughters live at North Apollo.

Two Border Bridges "a Hours

Alexandria Bay to Ivy Lea, Ontario,

1t also reopened after a 24-hour
traffic ban.
Representatives of the bridge au-
thoritieS affected are comforting in
Washington today with Treasury Of
f1cials In an attempt to work out a
solution.
Border patrolmen said 400 persons
were denied access to the Rainbow
Bridge, but Canadian bridge officials
estimated about 1000 persons, most
ly war workers making weekend
shift changes, were denied use of
the bridge.
Many of the war workers are
Americans who live in Canada be-
cause of the housing shortage. Most
workers made 6-mile detour and
crossed by the Whirlpool Rapids
Bridge.
Owners of the Peace Bridge be-
tween Fort Erie, Ontario, and Buff
falo, N. Y, posted a 5000 bond,
enabling that span to remain open.

Erskine Caldwell, Author
Gets Interest in ) Papers
Ry the Associated Press.

Ry the Associated Press.
ALLENDALE, S. c., Feb. 3D.
Erskine Caldwell, the writer, has
acquired an interest in three South
Carolina weekly newspapers, it be-
came known today.
The sale was recorded to the au-
thor'S father, the Rev. Ira S. Cald-
well, Of Wrens, Ga, and his brother
in-law, w. L. Maner of Allendale, on
a Probate Court order settling the
estate Of Eugene B. McSweeney.
The papers-the Allendale County
Citizen, the Hampton County
Guardian and the Jasper County
Record-were formerly owned and
edited by the late Gov. Miles B.
McSweeney.
The Rev. Mr.. Caldwell said his
son. now in Hollywood, would be one
of the stockholders in the new pub
fishing corporation.
The minister added he did not
know whether his son planned to
take an active part in the operation
of the papers.

and the plan was for a break.
! through there to link up with the
beachhead troops and continue on te
Rome.
After reaching their initial OBJ.
| jectives on the beachhead with only
token opposition, however, the com.
manders decided not to push. any
farther inland toward the Appiar
Way and highway 6-the main Ger
man lines of communication-un
reserves were landed. One Officer
explained to me that they did not
want to extend the lines until they
could be sure Of holding what they
obtained.
Allies Soon Outnumbered.
"Our troops held their positions
until reserves landed. But by the
time we were ready for offensive
action the enemy had arrived in such
force as to make the beachhead s
static front. Instead of pulling bacl
from Casino, the Germans rein.
forced both positions. Soon we were
outnumbered
I'VE now were on the defensive
instead of the offensive, and as the
gravity increased so the news re-
ports reflected the trend of events.
Now think personally that we
can hold the beachhead. But merely
to do that will not mean proper
progress in the Italian campaign.
LAS vet the beachhead operation
has not accomplished what was in
tended-although it cannot be
classed as failure, either, as nc
one can say until the fighting passes
the decisive stage. Certainly it is
costing the Germans heavily, as
witness recent estimates Of $4,000
casualties.
But don't forget we are paying
too. Secretary Stin1son's report OF
approximately $4,000 casualties in
Italy up to February II hasn't
caught us up with Anzio."

LONDON, Feb. %. - American
forces massing in Britain for an

been strengthened by the arrival of
one of the largest contingents of
American troops ever to cross the

The crossing was made without q

but heavy storms which were en-

comfort among the men.
The number of troops landed from
the convoy is. OF course, a military
secret, but all are highly trained
and ready for combat. They in
cluded mechanical units and spe-
cialized groups of many types. AL
were fully equipped with the latest
weapons.
In addition the convoy carried
many planes of various types.
Immediately after disembarkine
