Elweli elected to play this
hand in hearts ra h er than
spades. Realizing that one of his
opponents must hold at least
four trump, Elwell discarded
clubs on the first two diamond
tricks. West then shifted to the
king of clubs which was won in
dummy with the ace. Three
rounds of trump were cashed
and then Elwell led spades until
West ruffed, and claimed the
balance of the tricks, thus max
ing four odd.
Of course, today we would
play the hand at spades because
five odd could be made here
without much Of problem.

whether or not, if they were
playing . today, they would be
listed as Life Masters.
There is Joseph B. Elwell of
New York, without a doubt one
of the greatest writer's on bridge
whist, the first game of the
bridge family. Some of you may
recall that Elwell was murdered
some rs years ago in a mystery
that still remains unsolved.
In Elwell's day there was no
bidding. The dealer named the
trump or bridged it to his part
ner and spades ranked as the
lowet suit in the deck.

HOLLYWOOD Having long
believed that w. c. Fields nose
was the reddest thing west of
the Rockies, we> were surprised
to hear that the House I'm
American Activities Committee
had decided to investigate Sub
versive activities" in Hollywood.
Apparently Acting Chairman
John E. Rankin of Mississippi
has been seeing too many Hum
phrey Bogart movies. He seems
to have his plots mixed when he
says:
1T (the plot) started before
the war but lately it has become
intensified. 1t is deep-rooted and
is designed to lay the ground
work for the overthrow of our
form of government and for a
change in our way of living"
A movie script writer could

plot.
It's all old hat, anyway. Hol-
lyWood was investigated" by
the Martin Dies committee in
1910. No pilot" was discovered
then and we're willing to bet
our most cherished photograph
of Lana Turner in bathing suit
that no plot will be discovered
this time.
Why, half of the movies that
come out of Hollywood don't
even have plots.
Hearing about Rankin's inves-
tigation, Jack Benny. cabled US

Finding .'subversive' plot

Mr.. Rankin, will be like trying

new novel, Image of Josephine"
doubleday Doran: $3.50. Jose
phine, whom we first meet and
detest at the age Of IA, is the
granddaughter of millionaire,
art connoisseur, philanthropist
Thomas Oaklin. The old man,
who has already endowed SYM

city, decides to leave the major

struction Of an art museum, to
be administered by Josephine,
who is more than willing to COM

Oaklin also leaves his grand
daughter an inheritance of intel

is rebuffed by her playmates, he
delivers himself of this poisonous
seed: You'll have TO learn that
people, especially our contempt

Two and one-haf weeks are devoted
to traffic engineering and traffic law
enforcement, two weeks to juvenile de-
liquency and crime prevention, the re-
mainder of the time to laboratory,
fingerprinting and other work. In short.
it's a concentrated dose Of the sort Of
thing that has made the FBI criminals
nightmare.
President Truman, former President
Roosevelt, Gen. Alexander A. Vandegrift
of the Marines, Admiral Ernest j. King,
the late Edsel Ford and William Green,
president of the American Federation Of
Labor, are few of the many national
figures who have praised the NPA as a
progressive and realistic solution to the
Nations crime problem.
Not National Police Force
NPA's aim, as Hoover has said, Is not
national police force, but the training
OF city, county and State police in up-
to-the minute methods of crime pre-
vention and detection so that they can
remain separate, to handle local prob
lens; united, through the Federal Bu-
reau of Investigation, to handle national
problems"
Paying tribute to the FBI as "the
greatest crime clinic in the world"
President Truman declared in an NPA
graduation address which was released
upon cancellation of the exercises orig
inally schedule for the day following
Mr. Roosevelt S death:
Here you have been taught the all
essential need of quick cooperation
with all law-enforcement agencies, local,
county, State and Federal Only
by a Nationwide, co-ordinated COM
paign by all law-enforcement agents
can we achieve the highest degree of
efficiency, which in itself will be one of
the most effective means of preventing
antisocial acts"
Proud Of its war and peacetime &C.
complishments, NPA looks forward to
another 10 years of intensive training
for the fight that knows no armistice-
the war on crime.
