&. EiIcnbogen, have ali served
in the armed forces. Ellenbogen,
who now lives in Reading, Pa,
was especially thrilled by the
showing he made with his Phila-
delphia teammates, as he is
former Philadelphia.
Today's hand was played by
Ellenbogen during the event. He
could count six tricks in top
cards, and the others needed to
fulfill his contract were not too
easy to find. He won the first
trick with the ace of spades, as
a holdup could not be of any
benefit. He then returned a
small spade and West cashed his
spade tricks. On the last spade
East signaled with the heart
eight and West dutifully led that
suit. But Ellenbogen went right
up with dummy's ace, cashed
four diamond tricks, the last one
in dummy, then took the club
finesse. East had to find two
discards, and could not protect
the high heart and also three
clubs. On the last diamond from
dummy, Ellenbogen, who had
given up one of his diamonds
on the early spade leads, discard
ed his last heart. When the club
THESE held, Eflenpogen laid
down the ace and won his ninth
trick with the nine of clubs.

NO SOAP

In the midst Of war news, reports on price con-
troll, and exhortotons to do something about the
Sixth War Loan, there arrived at this desk circular
from manufacturer Of exclusive mems toiIetries
Among other items offered for sole was solid gold
shaving bowl-price, Sl875 plus tax.
We we're soreIy tempted for moment by the
bargain. Then reason returned. Even with gold shov-
ing bowl we should still dislike the task Of shovine
we figured and the rozor would still pull Besides, on
second look we discovered thot the manufacturer
didn't throw in any shaving soop.
So we decided thot we'd better put the shovino
mug into 100 S8.75 War Bonds In 10 years they'll
be worth $780, And thot's more than we'd be obIe
to get for our gold shaving bowI-even with soop

little trouble. There are always
glamorous roles for glamorouS
foreigners where the accent
pays off at the box office. Big
gest handicap of all is south

It's kind Of paradox, AT that,
since it could be argued that the
southern accent is the most his
torlc in America. But it has
been marked for comedy too
long, burlesqued too often in
black face.
It's the hardest accent in the
world TO get rid Of. Joseph Cot

DIARY THE CLUE

1t crashed, and in the wreck
age of the mystery ship was
found the body of an American,
and part Of a diary, from which
the author pieced together a re-
markable story. The pilot had
hidden out in the Philippine
hills for over a year after the is
lands surrender, and he and his
comrades put together a flyable
P-40 using parts salvaged from
widely scattered wrecks. In lieu
Of landing gear, they construct
cd bamboo skis, which were
dropped when the plane gained
altitude on what was TO be its
last flight. The unknown pilot
dropped his single bomb and
strafed a Formosan base was

managed TO near the China base.

Col. Robert L. Scott, Jr.,

other book about the war in the
air which has all the attributes
of the first. 1t is Damned TO
Glory" tScribners: $3.50, and
the exciting tales Colonel Scott
has TO tell more than make up
for his occasionally florid style.
Though written as an almost
idolizlng tribute TO the P-40, the
fighter now outmoded, but a
ship with a glorious and even
fabulous record, the book stirs
the Imagination mostly because
of the exploits of the men who
battlcd and sometimes died in
the narrow cockpit.
A fair example is Colonel
SCOTS story Of the Ghost
Ship" When an unidentified
single-seater was reported by
the Chinese warning net to be
headed through the fog toward
an American fighter base, P-40's
took off to meet it. The Yanks
were startled to find a sister
type fighter in the air, but with
the obsolete AAF inSigne, and
no landing gear. Suspecting 1t
might be Jap trick, they clos
ed in, and as they fired, saw the
plane had already been riddled
