said that he felt that his partner
should have bid seven hearts in
stead of seven spades and, of
course, he is correct.
You can see that with spades
as trump, there is no place to get
rid of that losing diamond but
with hearts as trump, three
rounds of hearts picks up the
opponents trump and now you
discard one of dummy's dia-

the stage, carrying tables,
chairs, saucers to inconspicuous
corners. Then comes the ex-
element of the arrival of the
stars through the stage door.
Tracy walks in, wrinkling his
forehead and study ing his
script. Martha Sleeper bursts
in enthusiastically, and at inter-
walls until the action begins
Robert Keith, Sandy Campbell
and Rex Williams come in.
Tracy, a bit nervous about his
return to Broadway, had his
lines memorized a week before
rehearsals began, and is often
seen at dinner or over a cup
of coffee with his script under
his nose and his eyes crunched
up as he repeats the dialogue.
Tracy is as casual during re-
hearsals as a school boy out
fishing. He fills the stage with
his burly good humor, and dur
ing breaks in the days work, he
makes off-hand cracks about a
scene or a line.
Occasionally, he will suggest
changes - little more give
here, little less sentiment
there. In one burst of enthusi-
asm, with apologies to Robert
Sherwood, Spence decided he
wanted to ad lib through the
whole play to be sure he
wouldn't make a mistake.

WASHINGTON - How many
secrets of state did President
Roosevelt take with him to the
grave? Or, putting 1t in a less
ghoulish light, how many of
these Observation-Disclosures
Before He-Died" revelations are
there going to be?
President Truman has just had
to issue a statement that there
is no record of President Roose-

King Ibn Saud that he would
not support the Zionists' fight
for Palestine against the Arabs,
as they have claimed.

pending attack should have been

HOLLYWOOD - Interviews,
chubby Anne Baxter said, are a
bore. She hates them, she said,
because people asked her the
most personal questions. Like
who she is in love with and why,

vice could she give young girls

did she get her start in pictures.

SELLING OUR SURPLUS SHIPS

conversion Director Snyders recommendation TOT

Ships Their concern seems justified
In q letter to Chairman Bailey Of the Senate Conn.,
merce Committee, Mr. Snyder asked that the pend
ina ship soles bill be amended to allow foreign COM
petitors equal opportunity with American lines tor
purchases and trode-ns He also asked that foreign
ers be permitted to charter American vessels
Mr.. Snyders motives are undoubtedly sound he
defends his proposals by soying: We live IN worlo
in which our own sofety and prosperity ore directly
dependent the maintenance OF friendly reotons
with other countries and on their economic progress
as we'll as our own.
That is true enough But there is possibility
that, with Mr. Snyders program, we might be fur
therine foreign economic progress at some expense
to ours For what appears to be equal opportunity
for foreon and domestic purchasers is actually on
ADVANTAGE to the former since operating costs OF
this countrys merchant marine higher than
those of any other.
Further, our surplus of merchant ships is more
opporent than reo Much Of it is in Liberty Ships
These SMALL slow, outdoted vessels could not be oP-
eroted profitobIy by Americans in international CON-
petition. and it is unlikely that many other nations
would want them.
The question then would seem to be whether we
wish to ask our shippers to compete in the open
market for modern-type ships which foreign purohos-
ers with their low wage scales. could operate more
eheoply.
The answer to that might be different if we had
nonopozed prewor shipping. But the prewor deod-
weioht tonnage Of our merchant fleet less than
half that Of Great Britain. And only about IS per
cent Of our prewor foreign trade oorred in Amer

Our Maritime Commission does not want to
rnonopoIize the transportation Of world trade. 1t
does not want to compete for trade between foreign
ports But it does feel thot American ships should

Among this county's current problems is that OF
finding jobs for many experienced merchant SEQ
men. This means finding coreoes for American ships.
And neither jobs coreoes will be forthcoming If
foreign competitors offer equally fost service
at less cost.
In addition to this there is the necessity Of keep

recent war found our shipping in deporoble condi-
ton. That risk should not be again. One way OF
avoiding lies in giving shippers first choice Of
what they and the country need.
