I'VE ourselves never think of
publishing something in that con-
nection without first conferring
with the other government and
having an agreement. That is q
matter for decision Of the govern

ship.
Where there has occurred in the
past premature disclosure in the
press by unauthorized officials, usu-
ally anonymous, on either the part
of this Government or the British
government, each government has
|customarily called the attention OF
the other government to the in
fringement Of agreement between
the two governments. Any such
action is in no way related to the
question of censorship upon which

ANY claim that the State De-

1. Does the organization have
Communist party members or those
trusted by the Communist party In
its posts Of real power-on its Execu-
tive Board, as secretary, organizer,
educational director, editor, ONCE
staff?
2. Are meetings of the organiza-
ton addressed by Communists or
their trusted agents? Does its pub
lcation include articles by such per-
sons?
8. Does the organization follow
the Communist party line?
4. Does the organization cooper
ate with campaigns, activities, pub
lications Of the Communist party
or other front organizations?
5. Is the address Of the organiza-
ton in the same building with other
front organizations or within CO.
operating vicinity?
6. Does the organization cooper

unions?

To 'ccc! Vic, y garden Offices

Such information is highlv useful
to the experienced as we'll as the

have the time or space to expert
ment and hence should avail them
selves of this opportunity to learn
what has proven to be the best.
Copies may be obtained from either
the District Victory garden office
or from the Montgomery County
Victory garden Offices.
Due to the recent shortage OF

gro1ring onions from seed in this

They make good bulbs for sum-

better quality and supply this year
than last, although that does not
signify that We may choose from
well-diyersifed supplies. The war
is still going On and tool steel Is
needed for war equipment How
ever, mcst of us will be able to
purchase all of the essential equip
ment. Which is quite an improve
ment over last year, when, for a
time, the common garden hoe was
unobtainable in this city.
Insecticides and fungicides will
probably not be in a much better
supply in 1914 than they were in
1943. The quantity of rotenone Is
not as large as had been hoped for.
AS an insecticide for gardens, it was
ideal because it did not burn tender
foliage and was nonpoisonous. We
have a sufficient supply of the COM
mon insect poison, lead arSenate.
Cryolite, a newcomer to this area, is
in good supply. While it does not
burn bean foliage, and thus is ef-
fective against the Mexican bean
Beetle, it Is poisonous to man. Bor-
deaux ard sulphur, the two i'm
portant fungicides, are in ample
amounts. We can get along in 1914
so far as insect and disease control
are concerned.
The Victory garden program is
better organized for 1914 than it was
in 1943. The District, Montgomery
County, Md, and, according to re-
cent reports, nearby Virginia are
well organized to help the Victory
gardener. Many of the garden areas
were plowed in the fall. an insurance
OF success for early gardens. The
fall ploWing also helped by reducing
the amount of work to be done in
the spring. Community plots have
been obtained and are BEING put
into s.'ape 50 that there s'loild be

sprirC. Last .-ar many gardens

Many gardeners have already
signed up for their community plots
and are now busy making plans. A
well-planned garden is bound to be
more successful than a haphazard
one. Crops will be timed to insure
proper succession of harvests, to
mature during favorable growing
weather and planned to provide the
quantities needed for table and
processing

West is dealer, and East and West
are vulnerable.
There was a consensus amorry the
readers that the contract should be
either six diamonds or six clubs, and
different methods for arriving at a
small slam were offered. The hand
however, is good for a small slam in
Ino-trump against anv defense, but
those who examined it said that it
was more difficult to reach a slam in
no-trump than in one Of the minor
suits. and thev therefore preferred a
diamond or club contract, regarding
it as safer in the bidding.
Those vino advocated bid Of six
no. trump imposed certain condi-
tions in connection with the re-
sponses Of the north hand, one being
that it should show both the ace of
hearts and the king Of clubs. Some
of those who reached small slam
contract in diamonds did so by what
they called reverse bidding" al
though Charles H. Goren. in his
Better Bridge for Better Players. y
considered an authority, declares
that the term reverse bidding is a
misnomer and frequently deceptive
Generally the bidding that the
readers suggested was as follows
West and North to pass and East to
onen with one club West to respond
with one heart. On the second
round, the recommendation was that
Fast should make jump bid to
three diamonds, which would show
a trong hand West should then
rebid his hearts to three, where
upon East should bid four no.
trump This they said would force
Yves. to call five diamonds to show
one ace, and when East bid five
no-trump West should show his
king of clubs by bidding six clubs.
This contract could be made, but
most players preferred to bid six
diamonds.
Among those who thought South
might put in nuisance bid of one
spade, although holding only one
and a half honor tricks. there was
some change in their suggested bid
Gin" by reason of this bid. Where
the hand was actually played, how
ever, only one South out Of II
made such call. In the case where
South in opening urderled the ace
of spades, the declarer won the first
trick with the king of that suit and
discarded the. losing spade on the
ace OF hearts when dummy was en-
tered with the king of clubs and thus
made a grand slam. although such a
contract was clearly not biddable.
In some respects the bidding sug-
gested was perhaps not quite ortho-
dox, but slam contract in. dia-
monds, clubs or no-trump Is easily
made against any defense.

says
The Office of Victory Gardens
of the District of Columbia was
set up under direction of the Com
missioners in order to help the res
idents of the District produce more
and better vegetables. In arrang.
ing for this service the Commits
sioners realized that many of the
gardeners would be new in this
area and that under the conditions
confronting them in such a thickly
populated city many who wanted
to garden would not have suitable
space or suitable soil. In order
that all who wanted to garden
should have the fullest opportunity
to produce at least a part of their
needs with the least waste Of effort.
time and seeds. it was necessary to
have some one who could tell
whether the land was fit for gar
dening or not; who could find suit
able land for gardening. and who
could instruct the people in gar
dening practices for this peculiar
location. In addition to this it was
necessary that there be some place
where the gardeners could make
inquiries and get information on
the many and varied problems that
would come up.
so the Commissioners established
the Office of Victory Gardens, with
supervisor of Victory gardens and
a secretary as part of the District
government. The Office is located
at 458 Indiana avenue NV. and
the telephone is National 5000, ex-
tensions 1887 and 1899. Here all

growing vegetables on their home

solving the problems that are bound
