The word "catamaran" came to us
from people who live in India and
Ceylon. These people are known as
Tamils. and they made up the name
from two words meaning "tie" and
tree"
Today there are several forms of
but at the start this craft
was made from tree trunks, or logs,
which were tied together For many
years, natives of the Madras dis
trict in Southern India have used
catamarans to go to vessels an
chored some distance from shore.
The Madras catamaran is COM
posed of three long timbers lashed
together so the middle one Is low
enough to serve as q keel. A man
padding this type of catamaran can
ride the surf better than II he used
q small boat of common design.
Other forms OF catamaran are
used off the coasts OF China and
New Guinea. The Chinese fasten
bamboo poles together and put up
q tall sail. This raft-with-a-sail is
called q "tek-pai" by the Chinese.
and it has proved very seaworthy.
New Guinea catamarans are made
with three or more logs which are
held in place with rattan.
Down in South America we find
RATS Of the catamaran type. They
are made Of many logs or timbers
which are fastened together. One
Of them may be as much as 20 feet

East's trap was we'll conceived
South was marked to a certainty
with the ace of clubs when he ac-
cepted the invitation to 60 game
The only other cards out were the
queen of hearts and the queen OF
diamonds, which he has already
shown. 1t is therefore evident that
with normal play declarer has nine
tricks which are in plain view. If
South can be persuaded that the
diamond finesse will work and can
thus be induced to release the ace
of clubs to take the marked finesse
the defense has a chance. In any
event the effort can cost only one
trick at worst.
AS for the bidding. an overcall
even though vulnerable, is recon-
mended with the East hand. With
such a solid trump suit there is little
danger of running into a disastrous
double and it may be very vital to

clarer would never have a chance
to get away with a no-trump con-

Opening lead: Three of spades.
One of the smoothest bits of lar
ceny that has ever come to my at
tention was perpetrated by the East
of today's hand against an unsus-
pecting South, who in all fairness
must be regarded as a victim of a
well-laid plot rather than his own
gullibility.
Against the final contract of three
no-trump West made the normal
lead Of the three of spades and
dummy's jack held the trick. The
South hand was entered with the
queen OF hearts and the queen of
diamonds played by declarer. This
was permitted to hold the trick and
the suit was continued, the 10 being
f1nessed. East, without the slightest
trace Of emotion, followed with the
nine. The queen of spades was now
played from dummy driving out
the ace. For want of anything bet
ter to do, West continued the spade.
Declarer now had nine tricks by
merely cashing OF top cards, but
who could blame him for seeking
the extra trick, with the diamond
f1nesse so clearly marked? He there

Ocean and the Pacific for a long

speed, and for this reason has the
special name of flying proa."
In the area of the Marianas Is
lands flying proa is likely to have
main hull 80 feet long and
feet wide. The second hull is small

make the craft steady.
In the United States a type of

been given the name of catamaran
The two hulls are joined by light
framework, and good speed can be
made when the wind is right.

AT least 842 German planes were

At the same time Gen. Carl A.
Spaatz issued a special order OF
the day saying the strategic air
war against Germany had ended
VIGOROUSLY and that hereafter U.
S. heavy bombers would be used
for tactical operations.
More than 5000 Allied planes
joined in the mighty daylight as

man radio reported the air at
tacks were being continued through
the night by both Russian and Brit

raided three times before mid
night.
Approximately 1000 fighter pilots
participated in the history-making
blast against Germany's boarded
frontline planes, splintering 809 Of
them one the ground and shooting
80 others from the sky.
Upwards of 40 enemy airfields

This disclosure, in Fleet Adm.
