BY WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY Americas Card Authority

In rubber bridge it may be enough to defeat a contract, but in dupli- cate bridge you have to get all of the tricks possible to get a good score. For example, in today's hand, when the jack of diamonds won the opening trick, East cashed the ace of diamonds and then made a nice suit directing play by leading the deuce of diamonds for West to ruff.
 In rubber bridge, at this point West should cash his ace of clubs and set the contract. But the re- turn of the deuce of diamonds in- dicated to West that his partner held 8 probable in-card, so West led back a club which East won with the king, and was now able to lead the qneen of diamonds which West could ruff, thus defeating the contract two tricks.

Waterbury is one of nine New England cities with the best retail showings during the Christmas buy ign period according to 8 survey made by Business Week. Others included were: New Haven, Boston, Worcester and Lynn, Mass: Bur- lington Vt; Nashua, N. H., and Lewiston. Me.
 According to the survey industrial employment in the area has tended to flatten out ever since summer, as in the nation generally.
 Farm receipts for New England, other than Maine, are at or below 1943 levels with. Maine's results up 20 per cent. A 20 per cent drop in potatoes from 1943 outweighs the 20 per cent increase of the apple crops.

Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1944-11-15

THE Hearst newspapers are prlvl-
L legged to publish in an adjoining
column on this page letter from
President Spyros P. Skouras of the
Greek War Relief Association, ad
dressed to Mr.. William Randolph
Hearst and appealing for helpful
understanding of the situation in
Greece by the American people.
This is a matter in which the
American people have high obliga-
ton and profound interest inf
nitely greater than the obligation.
The welfare and happiness OF
Greece are bound to our orOn Delfare
and happiness by cultural and spir-
itual associations as much as by
humane considerations.
The alienation of human misery
and tragedy is never without re-.
spouse by the American people.
But in the case of Greece we are
actuated by more than sense of
generous humanity.
Greece is historically the
FRIEND of America.
A S MR.. SKOURAS writes, ancient
AGreece was the source of our cul-
ture and the birthplace of our de-
mocracy.
Thus we are eternally in the debt
of the Greek nation, and now more
than ever before, as Mr.. Skouras
says, "because of the willingness of
these people to stand up and fight for
liberty at time when western civil
cation was being attacked and in
danger of being destroyed"
Four years ago the Greek nation,
for which we have such friendship
and to which we owe so much, fell
under despotic subjugation and op-
preston.
Now it is partially liberated, and
soon will be wholly free.
But much of the horror of subju
CATION and oppression still remains,
and will long remain unless the
friends of Greece measure up to their
obligations and professions Of friend
ship.

Cebu is narrow. and il is heav-
lily garrisoned; Negros is physi-
cally divided by a formidable
range; the interior of Panay is
mountainous and foreste
southern Luzon has many mar
row points which could be easily
defended.
To meet the enemy on these
islands, Macarthur would have
to make additional amphibious
landings, and supplies and rein
forcements would have to pass
through the narrow channels
already referred to.

IL populous island without diff
flcult mountain ranges.
1t is a salubrious island, where
our troops will not be struck
down by malaria or other tropi-
cal diseases, as they were on
New Guinea.
Although three typhoons have
struck Leyte since American
ships entered its gulf, the sea-
son for these cyclonic hurricanes
is nearly over.
At least six months Of dry
season lie ahead.
Macarthur already has the
advantage Of holding most of
the island and he has the great
advantage Of the initiative.

and shown no disposition to
fight a decisive battle there,
is difficult to say.
THE Japanese have great army

island, to say nothing of their
reserves on Luzon and else
where.
Also, they have numerous air
fields for their land planes,
which they are reported to be
sending in from all points, in

The long, narrow channels
separating the Bisayan islands
from one another have a defen-
sive value. They can be mined;
they can be made dangerous to
naval vessels and to the move

the conquest Of Luzon a more

been done to alleviate the tragedy of
Greece, as Mr.. Skouras gratefully
reports.
EVEN before liberation, more than
II half million tons of foodstuffs
reached Greece, principally from the
United States and Canada, and the
death rate in Athens alone which
reached the frightful total of 500 per.
sons day was reduced to 40 day.
In addition, the Red Gross deliv-
cred nearly two million dollars worth
of medical supplies and clothing to
Greece, principally for children
10000 of whom had died before help
arrived.
But even with liberation accom-
plished, Greece will still have more
than two million persons stricken
with malaria and tuberculosis be-
cause of the lack of food and cloth
ing" according to Mr. Skouras.
Thus, the problem of Greece as
sumes its real and challenging pro-
portions.
r ITERATION alone will not re-
IL store pillaged Greece, or dis
charge the obligations of the friends
of Greece.
Food and clothing and medical
supplies must continue to flow into
Greece and in greater volume than
ever before, not as a matter of char
ity nor even of humanity alone, but
in order to enable the people of
Greece, as Mr.. Skouras writes, "to
regain for themselves the freedom
from fear and from want to which
they are so fully entitled"
The message which MIR. Skouras
has addressed to Mr.. Hearst is prop
erly and rightfully message to the
American people.
His earnest desire to further the
cause of free and happy Greece" is
beautifully shared by the Hearst
newspapers, and is sure to be full
filled by the American people-as
their past fulfillment already attests,
and as their ample response in the
future will surely prove.

IN THE battle of Leyte, Gen.
MacArthur's army is meeting
with augmented japanese re-
Sistance.
Fresh enemy troops have
been landed on the west coast
of the island to reinforce their
present strength in its struggle
10 hold the Ormoc valley, and
stop the American advance in
the Philippines.
A week ago there were an
ticipations, in the news, that
the japanese would evacuate
their troops from Leyte and
make their major resistance
further west in the Bisayan
islands of Cebu, Negros and
Panay.
There was the possibility
that, with Leyte and Samar in
his hands, Macarthur would
bypass the Bisayas and adj
vance directly to Luzon, land
ing first perhaps, through the
Sorsogon Bay on the west side
of the southern tip of Luzon, or
Immediately north on the other
side of the island through Albay
Gulf, at the town and important
port of Legaspi.
This area has been heavily
bombed by our air force, which
seemed like a preparation for
amphibious landing there.

been practical even had the

NEW YORK, Oct. Is, 49,

MY DEAR NIX. HEARST:
A FTER four years Of Nazi oppres-
"A sion, of the most cruel tortures
inflicted upon any nation, part Of
Greece is liberated. Every citizen
of the United States and every
freedom loving man or woman
everywhere should rejoice in the
knowledge that the birthplace and
proving ground of western civiliza-
ton will be regained from the
enemy.
On that unforgettable day Of
Oct. %, 1910, when the Axis gave
the Greek nation three hours in
which to decide their freedom, they
did not hesitate. They gave their
answer in less than three minutes.
1t was an emphatic inc"
The Greek people chose to die
for liberty rather than to submit to
dishOnOrable demands and live to be
enslaved. At that moment history
was changed. That Greek incident,
as it is sometimes referred to by his
tOrians, was one of the turning
points OF the war.
The Axis marched in but the
people of Greece chased them out
and in so doing electrified the world.
Their weapons were Anticipated but
they were well equipped with fight
ing spirit and fierce love Of free
dom that has been instilled in them
through the ages. They set an ex-
ample to the world, defeated the
Italians and helped to debate the
Fascist myth. The Nazis were forced
to come to the Italians aid-the
Balkans flared up, particularly
Yugoslavia-and the Hitler time
table was upset.
The time, men and material which
Hitler was forced to divert to Greece
enabled Russia to withstand those
initial blows of Hitler.
GREECE was subjugated in the
" most cruel war in all history.
Every form of terror and privation
that could be conceived was inflicted
upon Greece by the invaders.
No one has more profound
knowledge of Greece than you.
Throughout the ages Greece has
given much to the world. She has
been the seat of culture and gave
birth to the democratic form of
government, and the world owes
Greece a great debt. Greater now
than ever because of the willingness
of these people to stand up and fight
for liberty at a time when western
civilization was being attacked and
in danger of being destroyed.
More than every today Greece
stands as a monument to freedom
and particularly to all those who are
willing to die for the right to live
as free men.
The Greek people richly deserve
their liberty. In the 1913 years since
their liberation from the Turks this
small nation has waged a constant
struggle for the freedom of it's
people. 1t has been hampered
through economic and political pres
sure at the hands of the great
powers of Europe, whose conflicting
interests have frequently been detri-
mental to the growth and develop
ment of the peaceful people of
Greece. Their day of final deliver
ance is at hand. Now with the aid
and cooperation of our great coun-
