exception, which I'll write about In
a minute.
That seems to me the right thing
to do. The CT Bill is designed te
make readjustment to civilian life
as easy as possible. IT'S aimed al
guys and gals who fought war
not just anybody who happened te
get in the Army, Navy or Marine
for a three or four year hitch 1r
peacetime.
Yet today everybody who enlists
in the service comes in for the
same benefits you and l are en-
titled to for our war service, all OF
which costs taxpayers money. As
it was explained to me the other
day, getting in the service now is
quite a breeze. I mean, a mar
serves for two years, starting at STE
month (private's pay) and ther
gets out. AS the law stands today he
will then be entitled to three calen-
dar years, or more than four schoo
years, of free education. That is
if the official end of the war ISM
declared in the meantime.
Seems to me that just one incen-
tive would be enough to attract
large numbers of young men into
the Army or Navy and Marine
Corps. There's a lot more, too, like
readjustment allowance and guar
anteed loans. These benefits come
to everybody who joins up today
The only stopping point in the
law is that haphazard date, "the
official end of the war" which might
not come for many months. World
War I ended some time in 1921
officially.
So that's the reason for the
Senate bill which awaits House ac-
ton. 1t sets a definite date beyond
which no person in the service can
accumulate credit toward GI Bill
benefits.
But to go back to the exception
mentioned above. In october. 1945
a law was passed which said that
any one who entered the service
within one year Tin other words, be-
fore October 1886 would be en-
titled to apply all the time of their
enlistment toward CT Bill credit
That means if any one entered the
Army in September, 1916, for three
years, he automatically would get
CT Bill credit for the entire three
years. That's the exception. They
wouldn't be affected by the Senate
bill They still could count all the
time of any enlistment entered upon
before October, 1916, toward CT Bill
benefits
The number of the Senate Bill is
1892. Senator Morse, who intro
duced it, told me he thinks the bill
will become law soon.

Corcoran Gallery Report
Many changes which have taken
place in the Corcoran Gallery of
Art during the last II months are
set forth in the 10th annual report
for the year ending May 81 last,
just sent out to the member
ship. Establishment of member
ship classes in the Association of
the Corco~an Gallery of Art was
major innovation. The first in
vitatiolls to prospective members
were issued in April. and by May
20 some 225 members had been en-
rolled.
The resignation in January of c.
Powell Minnigerode as director.
after more than so years on the
gallery's staff, was perhaps the most
radical change to many Washing
tonians. Hermann Warner Will
liams, jr, who came to Washing
ton in ti1e spring of 1916 to serve
as assistant director, was appointed
to succeed Mr. Minnigerode. Many
new plans were formed while they
worked together; and since January,
Mr.. Williams has added Others.
Recent acquisitions and other
items in the Corcoran gallery's past
year will be reviewed on this page

several resolutions adopted at its
37th annual convention held the
end of May in New York City.
In the first of these. the Fedora
ton strongly indorses the objec-
tives of the Department of State in
furthering the knowledge and un-
derstanding of American art, in
foreign countries, with its own ex-
hibitions of modern American
paintings which were touring Eu-
rope and Latin America where
they were suddenly halted in April,
and future dates were Cancelled by

cause of adverse publicity in Ger
tain magazines and newspapers,
and the reaction to it in Congress,
In view of the fact that the State
Department art projects were in
dorsed by a large majority of the
art worlds leaders throughout the
United States, and since the shows
had been warmly received abroad,
and cities scheduled to get them
IN the next few months, strongly
protested their cancellation, the
Federation earnestly urges that the
State Department be authorized by
Congress to resume these activities
and that their effectiveness be in

of the Nation.

Goren on Bridge
Neither vulnerable, South deals:

opening lead. Two OF SPACES. as
We have, in the past, examined
hands on which sheer bravado
achieved results that could not be
attained on the merits of the cards
themselves. Bridge texts concern
themselves chiefly with the develop
ment of technical perfection, and
little comment Is ever made about
the Importance of nerve" 1 do not
here refer to the kind of fearless
ness that induces player to over
call an adverse opening bid with a
call of two clubs only to meet with
a 1,100 point barrage. That's not
nerve, it's more in the nature of
reckless abandon. The nerve" con-
templated in this discussion involves
the quick decision to risk trick or
two in the interest of big return
on the investment.
The bidding followed more or less
normal lines, South's bid of two no
trump is bit of stretch. Most
players would prefer a bid of one
spade over partners diamond res
ponse, but the final contract would
probably have been the same in any
event, though it might have affected
the opening lead.
West led his fourth best spade and
East played the queen Since 1t ap-
peared that each opponent held four
spades, declarer saw no advantage
i'm holding up. Everything seemed
to depend on the location of the
king of diamonds, so the jack was
led and the deuce played from
dummy. Without so much as lifting
an eyebrow East followed with the
four of diamonds. The finesse was
repeated by the declarer, and when
the trick was taken with the now,
bare king, the dummy was given an
extended furlough. Il.
East's play is apparently very,
brash, but actually 1t Is next to im-
possible for the declarer to diagnose
the situation, and it is a moral GER,
tainty that the finesse will be re-.
peated. If by some strange chance.
declarer should decide against
finessing next time, all that has been
lost by the defense is an extra trick.
because it is quite evident that Il.
the trick is taken by the king, the
five diamond tricks will be enough,
to permit South to fulfill the con-
tract.
Ground work for the defensive
strategy adopted by East should be
laid early in the hand and while de-
clarer is pondering his own prob
lens. A brown study by East when
the diamond finesse Is taken may
impair his chances of success.

A. Yes. Write 1t: great-great-

ton: Is a food eatable or edibleP
Which word should we use In our

A. Eatable and edible are exact
synonyms. Both mean eft to be
eaten" The only difference is that
eatable is of Anglo-Saxon origin,
and edible Is of Latin origin. How
ever, edible is the customary adjec-
tive, and I should prefer 1t In food
