At practically every table, re.
CARELESS of what South bid, West
put in a heart bid. Most fan
tastic results were obtained, !
think, at the table where the
bidding went as have shown
you above. OF course, North's
bid of three hearts over the two
heart bid was to make sure his
partner would bid again.
do not like Souths bid of
five hearts, even though it Is
made to show the ace of hearts,
because the ace Of hearts can
not be of any value to your
partner. I think it would be
more important to rebid clubs
and let him know you have a
good club suit.
But / will say this-that when
North jumped to seven spades
and it was doubled by East,
South was smart in bidding sew
en- no trump.
The experts differ as to
whether or not East should have
doubled seven spades. However,
after doubling seven spades, the
big argument is whether or not
West should open the king Of
hearts.

MISSED SINGAPORE
Singapore was Healy's desti-
nation; but Singapore had fallen
with catastrophe swiftness, SO
he went to Burma. Securing
himself a jeep, he rolled reck-
lessly into some of the bitterest
action of the ill-starred Burma
campaign, and one of his reports
won the commentator of The
Man With the Cigar Winston
Churchill. The unpleasant pic
ture of the lackadaisical British
colonial, more concerned about
the supply of Scotch than the on
rushing Jap, is confirmed, and
with anger.
Healy saw one retreat through,
then another-this time before
Rommel, in Africa. But this time
he saw defeat do an about-face
into victory, and included in his
report on the resurgence Of
Montgomery's men is one of the
finest descriptions of tank bat

Pioneering the Helicopter,"
by c. L. Les" Morris (McGraw.
Hill: S2.75) is certain to draw a
good audience; the helicopter &C.
cupies a prominent place In post
war thinking and planning, and
this well-written narrative will
answer many questions as to the
potentialities of the flying ma
chine which many have visua-
lized in their back yards.
The book, is principally the
story of the development of the
Sikorsky helicopter, first OF its
type to be flown successfully IL
the Western Hemisphere. The
failures and successes of "Igor's
nightmare, as the odd-looking
contraption was once called, the
first suspenseful flights, and
final achievement of practical
bility all provide excellent read
ing, and a number of miscou-
ceptions are satisfactorily clear
ed up.

HOME NURSE
BY Iona l.. TROTT
Assistant Director
Red Cross Nursing Service
Written for NEA Service

The next time Jimmy cries,
Mother, kiss" while he tear
fully presents a bruised area on
some part of his tender body,
give him the caress, but follow
it by something more permanent
in it's effect.
The toddler brings his bumps
and bruises to Mother a dozen
times day. The amount of noise
he makes is no criterion for the
seriousness of his injury. If it is
severe, he is likely to be listless
and quiet, even unconscious,
and in such case, of course,
the home nurse will call the
doctor to get his advice about
methods of treatment. But for
the Mother, kiss" type of bump,
accompanied by lusty cries that
soon disappear into gurgles of
laughter, home nursing care is
usually sufficient. Ordinarily, a
bruise will clear up in time with
out special treatment.
Bruises are actual hemorrha-
ges under the skin, caused by
the crushing of small blood YES
sells, without breaking the skin,
usually. Since the blood set free
in this manner cannot escape, it
eventually passes through chem
ical changes in the tissues and
is slowly absorbed. This escape
of blood into the tissues is what
causes the diScoloration and
swelling of the injured part.
RELIEF from pain and preven-
ton of discoloration to some ex-
tent may be effected by apply
ing cold congresses or an ice
bag to the bruise for an hour or
so Immediately after the injury.
MASSAGE GENTLY
Absorption of clotted blood
from the tissues may be hast
ened by alternate applications of
heat and cold. Follow this by
gentle massage of the areas sur
rounding the bruise, not by
manipulating the injured part.
Carefully rub from the edges of
the injury, and always away
from the bruise, using a firm,
motion on the surrounding It's
sues. This should not only re-
licve pain but tend to prevent
stiffness when the arm or leg is
affected.

Shelley Smith Mydans, wife
of Life photographer Carl My
dams, has put her experiences as
an internee in Manila into d
novel, her first 1.-The Open City
doubleday Doran: $3.50. The
book was written prior to the
liberation of the city, a factor
which no doubt contributed
greatly to her decision to fic-
tionize her narrative and spare
those still interned from any
possible reprisals.
Nevertheless, much of the
book reads like non-fiction. If
you expect hair-raising tales of
Jap brutality, attempts at escape,
keart-breakingly foiled, or any
other B-picture gimmicks, you
will be disappointed, at least
during the first part of the book.
Mrs. Mydans devotes several
chapters to the rather humdrun
but vital problems which $500
men, women and h q Z n
damned into a prison like the
Santo Tomas University CON-
pound must face: Organization
ard sanitation. She knows all
about it, having survived eight
months of the JapS in Manila,
and another period in Shanghai
before being repatriated on the
Gripsholm.
The picture the author gives
has the ring of truthful, factual
reporting. 1t is a story of ugli-
ness and heroism, shows what
has happened to people, not once
but many times in the course Of
this war, when non-combatants
are thrown together inside a
prison stockade. But the life in
Mrs. Mydans' book is not one Of
unalloyed drudgery, boredom,
aond misery. Well-handled sus-
pense is introduced when the
Japs get wind that American
soldiers, posing as civilians, are
in the camp.
Their fate is inevitable, and
the spirit of the camp is ex-
pressed in the words Of Kath-
arine vt the end Of the book

THE FULL-EMPLoYMENT BILL

A bill Of excellent intent, poPulorly known as
the fuI-employnent bill, has come before Congress
with the blessing of War Mobilizer Vinson and, oP-
porenty of President Truman. Its purpose is the just
and necessary one of guaranteeing job to every
one with the obiIity and desire to work.
1t would achieve this purpose by having the Pres
ident submit to Congress an annual production ana
employment budget, containing statement OF the
nations job needs in the coming year and on est-
mate Of private I'D public investment and exPend-
ture to provide these jobs.
IF investment and expenditure didn't promise to
fill the Job quota, the President could recommend
program to stimulate private investment It that
foiIed, he could then recommend public spending
program.
We doubt that the bill as it stands would fulfill
it's intentions One reason is that it apparently is
based on the necessity Of 100000 jobs. And no.
BODY yet SO far as we know, hos proved thot to be
ANYTHING more than on arbitrary figure.
In the boom year Of lo43, SIS million civilians
had Jobs Some put in overtime equal to the labor Of
another million workers on prewor work week
bosis That makes 5e5 millions. Subtract the SD
million housewives, overoge and under.o9e workers
holding jobs, and you get SOL Million
To increase this force to 90 million would mean
EMPLOYING almost every person in the armed forces
That tokes no account of the many young service
men and women who want to finish their educotion
those who will remain in undoubtedly expanded
peocetine Army and Navy, the young women in the
civilian labor force who might want to quit work and
act married, and the civilian workers Of both sexes
whose schooling is not completed.
The bill doesn't seem to couple any goal Of no.
tono income with this full employment. 1t sets up
public works machinery before making move to
eose wartime restrictions on private business and
thus encourage investment and expansion
1t is certainly governments duty to create on at
mosphere in which full employment can flourish, to
provide work at times when private business is un
able to, and to guide the national economy away
from the dangers Of depresson infotion and unfair
business proctses.

HOLLYWOOD-The King of
the Movies is back at work.
Wearing the same toothy grin,
the finely groomed mustache
and a brown suit with faint
aroma of moth balls, Clark Ga
BILE recently faced the Holly
wood press for the first time
after three years service in the
Army Air Forces.
Looking into a cameras eye
again, The King said, was a
simple matter, but facing the
press was something else again.
Everyone wanted to be pre-
sent when Gable returned to
grease paint for This Strange
Adventure. M-G-M delicately
solved the problem by locking
up the set for a week and then
inviting out everyone for an en-
masse interview.
1t turned out to be en- mess.
Between trying TO do scene
and posing with Greer Carson
and Director Vic Fleming for
ID photographers. Gable didn't
have much time to say anything
except that he was glad to be
back, that his next picture will
be Lucky Baldwin" that pro-
duction methods had changed
and that his clothes still fit him.
THE CARPENTER CRACKS
Watching the ID photogra-
piers knocking over chairs,
climbing ladders, standing on ia
bles and shooting like mad, a
carpenter chuckled:
Look at those guys drooling
over The King"
After sweeping up the used
flashlight bulbs, the super-effi-
cient janitor reported to the
press with great Importance:
Its a new studio record -
% small bulbs and SO big ones"
The Kings return to the
cameras, we imagined, would
have been lot different If
Carole Lombard and Otto Wink
Ter had been there. Winkler, his
pal, died with Carole. They
would have provided the spark
that was sorely needed.
The start of a new Gable pic
ture when Carole was alive re-
suited in some of Hollywood
prize gags. One time she sent
him a baked ham. Another time
a Model I Ford, painted fire en-
CINE red and decorated with rib
bons.
But Carole and Otto are gone
and Gable has helped fight q
war, riding infthe blister Of q
bomber over Germany. l sup
pose we should say, like the
novelist would, that he looks
different-older, with lines on
his face.
Well. he hasn't changed bit.
He looks just the same as he
did the day he left Hollywood
three years ago.
