Albert A. Ostrow's new book ''The Complete Card Player" refers to the language of cards in con- nection with bidding and play. For instance, ill todays hand, what difference does it make whether South plays the five or the three of spades?
 MT. Ostrow gives us this example of what the language of cards" means.
 On the opening spade lead East is forced to play the eightspot. Now a careless South player would play the three-spot, and West could immediately read that the eight was not an encouraging card. If South plays the five, a thinking West player will believe that his partner is trying to tell him that he can ruff the third round of spades. If West continues with the ace of spades, there will be two good spades in dummy for valuable discards.

A Short Story

A Short Story
ALL MORNING the little girl had been
IA waiting for the thing to happen
to her. 1t was odd that she should
have to wait so long for something
she really didn't want at all. That
part of it seemed unfair. The waiting
had dragged on so, that now the
thought of it was hard lump In
her stomach. She was holding tight
onto herself.
Furtively. underneath her desk SO
the others wouldn't see what she did,
the little girl pinched the back of
her left wrist where the blotch was.
She pinched it three times to make
sure; yes, the numbness was spread
ing. She closed her eyes quickly. To
die like that, a little at a time,
seemed infinitely sadder than to die
suddenly and all at once; it was like
being left all alone at party after
your friends have gone home, or
like being thirty years old.
The schoolroom was restleSsly quiet
as it always was on examination days;
there was too much thinking in the
room for it to be wholly quiet. Miss
Cooley had written all the problems
on the board, and now she was just
sitting, doing nothing
HE little girl stared hard at the
pad in front of her. On it was written
her name and 3-A Arithmetic; the
rest was blank. She was thinking
about the time. 1t seemed to be
taking awfully long. She should have
found out more about the time from
her brother George, but it would be
hard to ask questions and still keep
him from guessing the truth. They
mustn't know none of her family
must know. If they did, then she
would become like those Others she'd
heard about - the ones who'd been
found out and were thrust apart
from the rest of the world to walk
forever alone with bells around their
necks to warn pasSers-by of their
danger.
But George was going to be a
doctor, and it would be very hard to
fool George He had a book from the
library that told all about it, but he
wouldn't let her look at it. Like last
night That was before she knew she
was going to die.
rs it a bad thing, George? How
bad?"
IT'S the worst thing in the world"
But how does it do, George -
does it kill you?"

notice anything because it doesn't
hurt. You just see little splotch
and then it starts to get numb, and
finally your fingers and your toes

The horror of it crept over her like
an insidious drug. Does it show it
in the book, George? Are there
many pictures of it?"

NUREMBERG, May l. = Julius Streicher's charges that United States troops abused and humiliat- cd him were stricken from the h. ternational Military Tribunals re- cords today after U. s. Prosecutor Robert H. Jackson protested they were irrelevant.
 Justice Jackson declared that if the Jew-baiting editors charges were permitted to remain in the record the United States would be compelled to answer them at length and with considerable difficulty in view of the deployment of troops who captured and held Streicher before he was brought to Nuern- berg.
