At bridge tournament one often
hears the remark that a certain
good woman player plays "a mans
style of game" meaning that she
plays a type + game that is sup
posedly characteristic of men.
However, / do not think that this
idea holds true. Carefulness is the
thing that counts in the game.

woman.
At the Mid-South tournament in
Dallas, Tex, Elinor Murdoch, of
Birmingham, Ala, won the open
team-of-four championship with
Capt. William Christian, also of
Birmingham; Payne Harrison, of
Dallas. and Cap Mark Hodges. OF
Fort Worth, Tex. Back in 1884

While it has frequently been
said that she plays mans type
Oh game you may see from today's
nand that carefulness makes her
game what it is.
AS the opening lead was obvi-
ously a singleton, Miss Murdoch
knew that the heart finesse was
out.

Keep 1t In Background

About the time the war moved in the
council was studying ways and means
for collecting trash and garbage from
back yards instead of curbs. Then lack
of man-power and equipment halted the
project and because so many things
have happened since it may now be
forgotten.
At least nothing has been done about
it, and with the suburbs added to COL
lection areas it has even been neces-
sary to make special application to have
ashes removed in recent months.
The time has come to revive, the
project, buy whatever additional trucks
are needed and employ as many extra
men as can do a thorough Job, with COL
lections made from the rear of Will
mington homes.
To be sure residents have been more
careful about keeping garbage in cover
ed containers than before the war but
the presence Of even lidded cans at the
curb is an eyesore.
If Wilmington is ever to become
the "city beautiful" they must be kept
in the background, not on display. You
just can't make trash and garbage at.

A French Loan

Frances position in the matter of a
loan from the United States is rather
equivocal. Leon Blum's arrival in
washington to negotiate loan preced
ed Foreign Minister Georges Bidault's
surprising and as it would seem I'M
timely warning that failure to get
loan in Washington would force the
Paris government to look to Russia for
help.
On the one hand the loan envoy
stretches out his hand for help and on
the other the foreign minister issues
a threat, The two do not harmonic,
and this is unfortunate because the
United States is inclined to lend an
attentive ear to Frances appeal but
naturally becomes stubborn when
threatened. The normal reaction to
M. Bidault's outburst is to tell France
to go to the Russians and learn for
themselves that the Soviet bear
sheathes it's claws only so long as it
serves the bears purpose. In the light
of the records France would pay
through the nose for any favor extend
ed by Moscow.
M. Blum, at his first meeting with
American representatives, painted a
gloomy picture of "a nation twice
ruined in thirty years" He did not
indicate an exact amount of money or
credit France wants from this nation
but declared that in the coming four or
five years France would need up to
eleven billion dollars, of which five bill
lions would have to come from the
United States" France would use its
gold and foreign exchange to finance
her needed imports, "but that would
not be enough" He says this despite
Frances reputation of her war debts
after the former disturbance. There
will be some even among those friend
lest toward France to interpret his
statement as indicating that any new
debt would have the same fate.
The question then would seem to re-
solve itself into whether the United
States, one of the terrible capitalistic
nations the mention of whose names
strikes fire on Joseph Stains oratorica]
anvil, is ready to save France from the
Russians to the tune of five billion dol
lars and help re-establish her trade
without much hope of being repaid, or
let her join up with the Russians who
have already largely communized her
people and will bleed her white before
they are satisfied.
In other words, are we willing to
invest this money in holding France
among the democracies, a problemati-
cal project at best considering the po-
litical alignments of the French people,
or give her push into Stains arms.
Having contributed largely to
Frances liberation from one enemy on
two momentous occasions it will not
be surprising to learn that our nego-
tiators have decided to do it again, but
not in the amount suggested by M.
Blum.

SUFFERING FOOLS GLADLY
By WILLIAM T. ELLIS

SUFFERING FOOLS GLADLY
Momentarily, the big bore had
vacated his seat beside me, and,
with malice prepense, | had offer
ed it to another guest, a gracious
lady, who was passing. Scarcely
was she seated before the bore
returned. Her attitude toward him
was one of welcoming charm.
Then l knew that | had been
behaving ignobly, thinking only of
myself; while the lady had shown
the Christian qualities lacking in
me. For it is a real proof Of re-
ligion to suffer fools gladly"-to
endure with perfect courtesy the
tiresome, the commonplace and
the wearisome.
Thought turns naturally to Jesus,
who, though extraordinarily sem
sltlve Himself, lived His life COM
panionably with ordinary folk, tact
iully drawing out the best that was
in them.
Thou dost put up with us. in all
our laundering foolishness, o Lord;
neip us to put up with other per-
sons' however, uncongenial. Amen.

BY the Assoeioted Press

A dramatic vote radioed from a
ship far out in the Pacific by Rep
resentative Andrews, Republican
of New York, appeared today to
have broken the Senate House Con-
ference Committee deadlock over
the teen-age draft.
Mr.. Andrews revised proxy-de-
claring in favor of a conditional
moratorium on the induction of 49,
year-olds-Was sent from the U. S. S.
Panamint, carrying him and other
observers to the Bikini atom bomb
tests.
He thus swung over to the Senate
compromise offer to make 18-year-
oldS subject to the draft only as a
last resort. His previous proxy called
for no restrictions on Inducing
teen-agers, with the result that the
House group first rejected the COM
promise, 4 to 3, on Monday.
The actual showdown on the issue
is not scheduled until tomorrow
when seven Senate and six House
conferees Mr. Andrews is the
seventh - reassemble for their third
try ct adjusting differences in sep
arate draft extension bills. The Mon
day-to-Thursday delay was set to
allow the contact with Mr.. Andrews.

Police to Make
Movie Record of
Drunken Drivers

A movie camera is the Police De-
partment's newest weapon in its
war against drunken driving.
At the suggestion of Clark F.
King, assistant corporation counsel,
Inspector Arthur E. Miller of the
traffic division has instructed his
men to make movies of the stride
of any drunken driver arrested in
daylight. The films will be made
on the scene with l6-millimeter
camera.
The guinea pig" film must be
made in the daytime, since the
Police Department is not equipped
to take pictures at night.
Mr.. King pointed out it often is
difficult to prove to jury by verbal
testimony that defendant was
staggering drunk at the time OF
his arrest, especially under defense
denials.
If they had moving pictures Of
how he walked they could see for
themselves" he said. If the pic
lures indicated the man could walk
straight and did act normally, so
much to the good. We don't want
to convict any one who is innocent"
Whether such films will be al
lowed in evidence by courts here
is uncertain.
