Rapee out of the running, but in
spite of it, he won the champion
ship. In the Masters Individual,
every player must play with
every other player as partner.
On this particular hand, Joseph
E. Cain, of indianapolis (South),
was playing with Peter Leven-
tritt, of New York, against
Harry Fishbein (West and
George Rapee.
When Leventritt jumped 70
four no trump on the second
round of bidding, Cain was a
little bit stumped. After all, he
lives in Indianapolis, the home
of Easley Blackwood, originator
Of the BlackWood convention.
Deciding that Leventritt was
using BlackWood, Cain respond
ed with five clubs to show no
aces. But Leventritt was not
using the BlackWood convention,
and assuming that Cain was
showing him a second suit, he
promptly went TO six no trump.
Cain won the opening spade
lead with the king. Now his
only chance to make the slam
was to finesse the jack of clubs,
which is exactly what he did.
One of the biggest thrills Joe
Cain gets out of bridge is to
get into a freak contract--and
make it.

THE DECISION At AACHEk

Hiter's decision at Aochen made through his
officers apparently established the policy OF Noz'
resistance on which the in Germany Will be
FOUGHT 1t oove notice that every objective is TO be
defended to the lost, with slaughter and destruction
as the price for delaying the inevitable.
And his decision shows thot Hitler has m'sIudg-

Dr. Hermann Rouschnng testified at the Wosn'n9-

At Aochen he seemed to think that the AmerI-
cons. whom he odvertises to his people as Yankee
borborions," would be too softheorted or too weak
in strength and purpose, to go through with tner
ultimotuno. Again he was wrong,
The Americans took no Joy in destroying much
of the city Of Chorlenoene. They gave the enemy q
chance to withdraw from and preserve the city and
its "culturoI monuments" over which DR.. Goebbe's
has already wept much.
But it SO happens that Aochen, besides being
the city Of ChorIemoene, is also the front door 70
Coloone and the first stop in Germany on the high
rood to Berlin. The choice was for Germans, not
Annericons, to make.
But if Hitler thinks that he can try to make
is clear that he is making another Of his gorgeous
mtory bunders. For Germony's overall position is
more desperate than Russo's was And the spirit
of the Germans is not the Russian spirit

ready guns to shoot any soldiers who tried to sur

All this Hitler knows, Of course. His only hope
can be to droe the war through the winter, to gain
time to perfect some new "secret weapon" or per-
hops to wait for some hopedfor Allied rift, while the
ring Of Allied arms closes tighter about him.

SWIMMING POOL,
FISHING FACILITIES
1t was a letter to the Truman
committee from a private citi-
zen which uncovered waste at
the Voorheesville, N. j., hold
ing and reconsignment point.
Here it was charged originally
that the commanding officer,
Col. J. D. Chambliss had spent
$4,000 rebuilding an old farm
house, putting in a swimming
pool, wild duck and cattle
farm, having a boat built so the
c. o. could go fishing on a reser-
Voir, and in winter sending a
truck load of workers TO cut
holes in the ice TO make fish
ing easier.
Investigation by an Army I.
G.. showed the report to be some
what exaggerated, as are many
such informers' reports, based
on hearsay and community gos-
sip. But there was enough meat
in this report to make the check
up worth while. Over $4,000
had been spent on rehabilitation
Of the quarters, and $4,000 of
it had come from a WPA appro-
priation.
The colonel was recommend
ed for court-martial and relieved
of duty.
