becoming seasick in an insidiously
rocking armchair.

never engage in the post mortems

turns to Ike to exult over a grand
slam. Il nod politely. l do not
speak," Ike concludes sternly.
Rule Three: The kibitzer must
be as unobtrusive as possible.
Restless movements may disturb
the sensitive player"
"Rattls Of Cellophane"
l HERE are dramatic moments
when Ike would not even think of
lighting a cigar. The rattle of
cellophane and the sound of the
match striking act like firecrack-
ers on the tight nerves of the play
ers. even dress especially soberly
for an important bridge tourna-
ment. l do not consider plaids
suitable to a kibitzer."
Ike permits himself to blow his
nose only during intermissions
and has perfected a technique
for not coughing or sneezing while
tournament play is in progress.
"A man who cannot control his
bronchia belongs in his home" is
Ike's dictum.
Rule Four: 1T is ones duty as
a kibitzer to keep a completely
sober face"
BY career a kbitzer, Ike only
plays bridge as a hobby. He
learned to play in an Army hos
pital after the first World War.
A flyer, he acquired a spinal
fracture in a crash and still
draws down a modest Army
pension.
Ike's two children, George, who
goes to Columbia, and Doris, a
music student, don't play bridge
at all. In fact, Ike is shocked at
the idea. II never keep a pack of

Ike Woolfe is one man
who peeks over bridge
champs shoulders -
and gets away with it

THE possibility of having Irving
Il K. Woolfe kibitz your friendly
Friday-night bridge game with
the neighbors is as remote as ex-
pecting Oscar of the Waldorf to
drop in and help out with the sup
per dishes.
Uncrowned but unchallenged,
Ike Woolfe is the king of the
kibitzers, pinnacle which he has
reached through years of over-the-
shoulder study of the bridge great
exclusively. He's spent practi-
call y all his time since 1923 at
tending bridge tournaments
and estimates he has Travelled
over 100, 600 miles.
Bridge tournaments are open
to the public although space for
observers is limited. But Ike's
position in the field is 50 we'll es-
tablished that he is frequently
called on to help out as table
referee, in which his duties con-
sist mainly in getting rid of OBJ
noxious kibitzers.

WHITE-HAIRED, with bristly white
eyebrows, ruddy cheeks and bright
blue eyes, Ike regards his calling
with quiet pride. He hopes his
example will force the lexicogra-
pher who defined a kibitzer as
"a meddler; one who gives gratui-
tous advice" to revise his de-
scription. Holding himself to a
rigorous code of behavior, Ike has
established a set of rules which he
believes should be followed care
fully by hopeful newcomers in the
field.
Rule One: The correct kib-
ft1er enters a room and makes
straight for the table he plans to
kibitz. He picks a chair and then
does not bulge from it until the
session ends"

World Bank Required
To Market Securities
Under SEC Rules
BY she Associated Press

+
PHILADELPHIA. June 28.-The
International Bank for Reconstruct
tion and Development has been re-
fused general exemption from the
Securities and Exchange Act of 1884,
the Securities and Exchange Com
mission disclosed.
The commission, however, said 1t
has issued set of rules under the
Securities Act of 1888 and the 1884
Exchange Act, as well as an inter-
probation of the Trust Indenture Act
of 1889, with regard to securities of
the World Bank.
Adoption of the rules under the
two acts, the SEC pointed out, al
lows three exemptions for the banks
securities.
Two exemptions from section Is
{A) are permitted in effect, these
exemptions would permit brokers or
dealers, who otherwise deal In
United States Government or mu-
nicipal securities exclusively, to par
tlclpate IN distribution of the banks
securities without Registering with
the SEC. These exemptions, how
ever. are subject to the same condi-
ton concerning bona fide offer of
the entire allotment as the Secur-
tiles Act rule.
The third exemption is from that
portion of section IL CD of the act
which prohibits when-issued trad
ing on National Securities Ex-
change unless its primary purpose is
to distribute the unissaed security
to holders of a security previously
registered under the act.
The three exemptions, the COM
mission emphasized, leave the
banks securities subject to all other
provisions of the act.

A law passed at the 1947 ses-

boosts the State tax on gasoline
to 5 cents a gallon. This will
bring the Federal and State tax
on gasoline sold in Maryland to
a total of 61a cents.
