A surprising number of good
players failed to make six SHADES
on today's hand. After winning
the opening lead with dummv's
ace OF hearts, they made the mis-
take of trying to cash the ace and
king OF clubs in order to ruff q
club; or they led the lack of
spades and overlook with the
queen in order to ruff a heart in
dummy. Then they had to lose q
spade and a diamond.
After winning the ace of hearts

last two tricks with the ace and

from any obstruction on the
earth's surface. This instrument,
the ancestor of radar, sends an
electric signal toward the ground
from one wing tip. When this cleo
trio wav strikes a solid surface.
it bounces back and is recorded
by a receiver in the opposite wing
tip. A dial on the instrument panel
tells the pilot when he must climb
higher to avoid a mountain peak
or any other obstacle.
The other instruments in the
flight group are the rate-of climb
indicator, or Variometer. which
tells how fast this plane is climb

Actually, most modern planes
carry several different compasses
to avoid errors which might occur
in a single instrument. One is a
simple magnetic compass. The
second is a radio compass. with
a needle that moves in response
to radio waves sent out by the
radio range stations which guide

war, is the gyro flux-gate com.

The flux-gate compass picks Up
t h e electric currents which sur
round the earth. then strengthens
these currents with an electrical
amplifier to make them strong
enough to move a compass needle.
Because this is the only compass
which retains its accuracy when
planes fly close to the North Pole,

lines use the Great Circle routes.

FAMILIAR THINGS
THE MODERN A


For many years, every airplane
has carried at least five instru-
Eents which pilots call the flight
group. OF these the airspeed in
dicator is the most important. It
tells the pilot when his plane is
moving fast enough to leave the
ground, when it is moving through
the air at a speed sufficient to
keep it aloft, and when it is fly
ing slowly enough to land.
In operation the %airspeed indi-
Gator is simple. In flight. air is
admitted to the pilot tube, a small
metal spike extending forward
from the wing. When the plane
moves rapidly, a great deal of all
rushes into the tube.
When speed is. reduced. less air
enters the tube. These changes il
air pressure cause a metal disc
to o up and down in an air
tight chamber: the disc move
ment affects the needle of the air
speed dial On the planes instru-
ment panel.
The altimeter. which ranks next
to the airspeed indicator in inn
portaace. records the pilots alti-
tude above sea level. 1t enables
him to fly at a given altitude in
order to avoid collision with other
planes. 1t also enables him to fly
at the altitude at which he can
obtain the maximum speed from
his engines. The altimeter is at
fected by barometric pressure,
which changes as altitude IN

THE ORANGE GROVES
BY L T. L L

One Of the peculiar delights of
the orange groves is that they
bear both flowers and fruit at the
same time. Fragrance accompa-
MES their fruitfulness; and beau
ty. too.
Like unto the orange tree. the
Christian should bear the graces
OF the Christian life, as well as
Its legitimate fruit. Usefulness is
no excuse for disagreeableness.
All who possess the grace of
CHRIST are in full allegiance bound
TO show the graces of Christ. Win
someness is required of those who
would win some.
1t is significant that Paul's list
OF the fruits of the Spirit includes
those qualities which make for
beautiful characters. Thus, the
flowers of religion are in a real
sense its fruits.
Great Gardener of souls.
lfaln us to bear the fruits and
flowers Of the soul: to show forth
the character Of the One altogeth.
er Lovely, and at the same time
TO produce His works. Amen.

give the Indians encouragement that these claims exist The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has in fact held that there is such thing aboriginal claims in Alaska The sole base for all of these claims arose of action taken by former Secretary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes and his solicitors in which 1ckes sought by administrative action to parcel out land belonging the United States and all of it's people not to any class or race Ickes actions have been declared valid by any court by the Congress
 Certainly this action which seeks to block any immediate development of the pulp and paper in- dustry in Alaska will do the Indians good. And it will do Alaska considerable harm Of course it is always nice to believe that you get some thing nothing and the legal slickers from Wash ngton doubt painted visions of wealth for the natives of Southeast Alaska
 They may find out that by taking the course they have chosen they will wind up with nothing, when they might have gained something by coopera- tion Their action at this time should result in fore ing the matter early hearing in the courts and it is good guess that the courts will decide that the title to land in question remains with the govern ment

the President stopped down his last
 two tax bills with vetoes. That's
 why he is trying to raise the issue
 again at the special session. But he doesn't solve anything by mak- ing his own party look ridiculous. .
 Real fact is that the split" on the tax reduction issue was most one sided, with Knutson standing virtually alone. Speaker Martin and the great majority of House Re- pubEcans. including most of Knut- sens COP colleagues on the Ways and Means Committee, want to defer action on taxes until the re- gular session beginning in Janu- ary. They reason that KnutsonS "ouickie" bill, even if it got by the special session and escaped a Pre- sidential veto, would be repealed, anyhow. by the comprehensive tax bill to be acted on by Congress next spring.
 Therefore, to snarl up the special session with Knutson's measure not cnly would be waste of time, but might make the party appear ridi- culcus. Whether Martin is able to keep Knutson shut up however, is another story.

THE TIMBER CLAIMS

It looks as if Aaskas hopes for development of a new basic industry to be stymied until the question of title lands is settled once and TOT a-if it be settled.
 The possibility of long, drawn-out suits ln the courts over ownership of the timber land may be enough to discourage potential pulp and paper com pany investors from going ahead with plans to bring this industry to Southeast Alaska.
 The Department of Agricultures U s. Forest Service should have every legal right to sell the timber claimed by the Indians under authorization granted by the Congress of the United States in House Joint Resolution 205 of the last session. This legislation did attempt to settle the question of who owns the land, was it in any way designed to take from the Indian something that may belong to them. On the contrary the resolution contains safeguard in that it provides that all proceeds from the sale of the timber shall go into special fund to be held until the question of ownership of the lands is settled
 Certainly the representatives of the Indians 1n Washington who have announced plans to sell the timber on the disputed lands to some previously un- heard of corporation in New York are way out on limb They would be selling timber to which there is no title without authorization from court or from Congress Court decisions involving aboriginal claims
