SlOildl -
GEN. DOUGLAS MACARTHUR.
Voice. deep baritone, vibrant and
expressive, but lacking the sirupy
perfection of the professional broad
caster. 1t is a voice that fits the
dramatic character of the man
himself, and this is unusual, for
the voice of the average nonprofes-
sional broadcaster seldom projects
his true personality.
Style, little oratorical and heavy
for radio. The microphone doesn't t
like the auditorium type of speak
er-public- address stem-and radio
technique prefers lighter, faster
delivery, and the amplifier, not the
speakers voice, furnishes the vol
ume. (This is a tip for political
speakers of the old school)
Enunciation, better than average
for lay broadcasters, who are prone
to mushy enunciation In most
cases blurred enunciation is due to
tight throat and jaw muscles and
the failure to speak ION the lips, u
as voice teachers put it. For crisp
enunciation. relax, forget you have
a throat, keep flexible the lips
and tongue, and think and speak
forward.

1 oDo doo
AS general proposition it is
true that partnership should Sc
lect for trumps that suit in which
it holds the greater number. An ex-
ception of somewhat frequent oc-
currence is observed in cases where
the partnership chooses to play for
game in major suit with eight
trumps rather than try for the
longer minor suit game in which
nine trumps may be held. This one
thought should be borne in mind
constantly: Eight trumps are a con-
venient working majority, and
where the proper values are held.
are sufflcient to form the basis for
a game contract. Game contracts,
with only seven trumps, however,
should as rule, be avoided.
You have many times heard it
said that where eight trumps are
held the ideal division is for dunn
my and declarer each to have four.
This is usually more advantageous
than having five in one hand and
three in the other. Failure to grasp
this principle proved very costly to
the South of today's hand. The bid
ding progressed with clocklike pre-
cision up till the final bid. At the
slam contract in spades, there was
no way to avoid the loss of a heart
and club.
. South was i'll advised to return to
six spades after his partner had
gone to six diamonds. He did SO. he
explained. because he was afraid to
play a slam with such an anemic
fom-card suit North's bidding
definitely guaranteed a holding of
four good trumps. This becomes
clear both from the jump raise and
the subsequent return TO diamonds
after South supports spades. South
should have been concerned about
a possible losing heart since Norths
ace could take care of only one of
them. With diamonds as trump, one
of these hearts could be discarded
on North's fifth spade.
The advantage of the four oppo-
site four-trump holding is that after
three rounds of trumps clear the
suit provided the normal break
occurs there is trump left in
each hand. Any fiye-card suit held
by either hand now provides dis
cards of losers from the others A
five-card holding as a side suit is
an enormous advantage in the play
of a hand.

Patterson Says Allies
Welcome Any Aid in
Drive Against Japan

Undersecretary of War Robert P.
Patterson, back from a three-week
visit to American units in Europe,
asserted today he has "full con-
fidence" that. operations involving
the Army's redeployment program
will be carried out with maximum
efficiency"
Substituting for Secretary Stim-
son at the weekly War Department
press conference, Mr.. Patterson said
the shifting of men to the Pacific
is "an objective of first conse-
quence."
Now that the war has ended in
Europe. he declared, the combined
chiefs of staff would gladly accept
the services of troops of any ma
tionality in order to bring about the
speediest possible defeat of Japan.
While the War Department has
no knowledge Of reported French
offer to send military unit to the
Orient, he said, such offers not only
are needed but will be welcomed.
Mr.. Patterson indicated it would
be long time before SHAEF is
disbanded in Europe. He said ii
will remain until the end of all re-
sistance, the completion of redeploy-
inent and the establishment of law
and order.
Chief among the problems now
awaiting solution in Europe, he said
are the consolidation of our occupa
ton Of Germany, the institution OF
policies of overall Allied control, and
the "zonal administration of the
stern government of Germany, pro-
viding program of disqualification.
In this connection, Mr.. Patterson
said. the economic needs of coun-
tries despoiled by Germany must
be consulted and Germans must be
put to work to produce their own
food
War criminals must be prosecut-
ed firmly and promptly" he added
and "disposition must be made of
the millions of German prisoners
of war"
