Americas Card Authority
Written for NEA Service

Freak hands are always the
subject of much discussion at a
national tournament, because no
two players handle the situation
alike. l checked up on today's
hand and did not find two pairs
who bid the same wsy.
North could not be blamed for
expecting a game contract, and
one North-South pair actually did
get to six clubs.
However, Herbert Sherman OF
New York, who finished second
with Miss Charlotte Subway OF
Buffalo in the national mixed-pair
event, said he was skeptical about
the hand from the minute that
West opened with one diamond.
His one spade bid was quickly
doubled by East.
Sherman felt that the hand
would not produce a game. and
deciding to buy the contract as
low as possible, bid three clubs.
West thought Sherman was out
on a limb, which accounts for his
double of three clubs.
Sherman Irumped the opening
heart lead. He believed that the
clubs were punched in one hand
and the spades in the other. so his
first play was a small spade TO-
ward the ten-spot.
West trumped with the deuce
of clubs. and having no good out
card, returned the six of trumps.
Sherman, playing West for all OF
the outstanding trumps, put on
the eight-spot, which held the
trick.
He led the king of clubs, West
Won and returned the ten, which
Sherman won. Now he had 10 give
up two spade tricks. This was the
maximum number of tricks made
by anyone on this hand and one OF
the few plus scores for North and
South with these cards.

The WAR PROBE VOTE

Senate democrats have good reason TO
take pride in their solidarity on the first

had not come on a measure drafted 10 con-

Literary

BY w. G. ROGERS
He RAN ALL THE WAY, by Sam
Ross (Farrar, Straus (S2.75).

Here's a murderous bit of fiction
intended to make your skin creep.
As the novel opens, Nick Robey
wakes up from a bad dream to
a much, much worse reality; he
feels like the scum on his teeth,
he says, and as you oon learn,
he acts like it. After treating his
mother like the slut she seems to
be, he goes out and shoots a man,
turns panicky. picks UP sweet and
innocent Peg Dobbs. takes her
home and makes her and her
family his prisoners while he tries
to, figure out how he can escape
being also their prisoner.
The trouble with all this is that
it is so incredible. A killer isn't
just a man who waves a gun; a
sadist isn't just a guy who socks
twice as many people as the nor
NAL person; a crazy man is some
thing much more complex and
subtle than one who behaves like
a dumb fool; and on the whole
the more violence there is in a
book, the less violent it seems.
Too much is too much, is my
verdict. When 1 got through it, l
wasn't scared. l was sleepy. He
Ran All the Way is q good title,
but it would have been a better
book if once in a while he had
walked.

Cristsbel, at 81. is dissatisfied
by the gulf between what she
wants and what she can have.
Idolizing n of her . professors,
she sets standards based on her
idea of his aloof, inimitable per-
lection, only to find that the facts
of life chain her to a lower level.
This youthful aspiration for all
or nothing illustrates her; it makes
her unhappy at h o m e and a
square peg in the round hole OF
gay camp life where most Of this
story takes place. 1t is there, how
ever, away fir 0 m normal re-
straints, that she learns TO put up
with something less than the best,
Or that a lover, if she can't have
the lover, is an improvement on
no lover.

THE BOOK OF
KNOWLEDGE

let. Let US look at these tools and
see how they are used.
The ak or Ratchet is used for
splitting wood. Wood has what is
called a grain, which always is up
the way the tree has grown; the
wood can be split up the way OF
the grain but not across the grain.
When you wish to cut wood across
the grain you must use a saw.
When the grain of the wood Is
very regular, you car split the
wood evenly with an ak, but il
the grain is twisted you cannot dc
so. Therefore it may be necessary
to use the saw instead Of the ak.
There are many different kinds
of saws. The kind that you want
is a handsaW, say about "A or 10
inches long.
You must work the saw back
ward and forward regularly, not
rocking it from side to side, or you
will cut unevenly. Nor must you
jerk it in and out, or you will
blunt the saw and tire yourself.
Before beginning to saw, make a
pencil mark on the line very care
fully. You should provide yourself
with a carpenters square in order
to make accurate lines.
The hammers chief use is for
driving in nails. Get what is called
a claw, hammer. The two claws
will draw nails out of wood with
out difficulty. When you have
drawn them out you may want to
use them again. If they are bent,
you must straighten them. Put the
nail on a piece of iron or stone,
or on a block of hard ~wood-not
upon anything that can be dam
aged-and place the point down
ward. Then strike the high place
with the hammer until the nail is
straight.
Chisels are used to cut the wood
where an ak or a saw would not be
suitable. We use d chisel, for ex-
ample, to cut away the wood to
make room for a lock on a door.
We use a gimlet to make holes,
chiefly when we are going to put
in screws. For ordinary nails it is
not necessary to make holes unless
the wood is very hard and likely to
split.
The screwdriver is for putting in
screws. 1t is pressed against the
head of the screw with its point in
the slot Of the ere head, and
then it is turned.
Now we come to the plane. Most
wood to which we want to give a
smooth surface must be planned.
Another reason for planning is that
If we paint wood that has not
been plared, we use much more
paint.
In using the plane, push II lof-
ward on the wood steadily, and
press upon it evenly. THE edge OF
the %plane-iron, which does the
actual cutting. must stick out be-
low the bottom Of the plane, but
not too far.
The plane-iron and the chisels
must be kept sharp at all times by
means of an eil-stone. The stone
is called an oil-stone because it is
used with a little oil in rubbing the
edge o a tool upon it.

State Department officials to-
day studied what action this
Government might take in the
face of Russian refusal to let a
group of Senators and depart
ment officials visit the American
Embassy in Moscow, and in the
light of demands from Capitol
Hill for curbing the admission of
Russians to this country.
Undersecretary of State Lovett
told questioners at a news confer
ence late yesterday that the matter
was being considered. He refused
to indicate, pending completion of
the study, whether the twice-re-
jected requests for Soviet visas for
the official group would be renewed,
or whether any retaliatory action
would be taken.
Senator KnoWland, Republican, of
California, meanwhile, urged letter
to President Truman that the num-
ber Of Soviet citizens allswed to
enter this country be limited to the
same number of Americans per-
mitted to enter Russia.
1,50O Russians Visit United States.
He said State Department figures
showed that more than 1,5G0 visas
have been issued for Russians to
come here this year. BY contrast,
he said, there were only 286 Ameri-
cans in Russia as of February l, 1947
Actually, State Department Off
cials said, they could account for
532 Russians here in an official Ca
pacity, including lis connected with
the Embassy, 64 in New York, San
Francisco and Los Angeles con-
sular Offices; 88 in delegations to
international organizations, q in
the Soviet Purchasing Commission,
II scientific workers in agri-
culture, 3 officials of Tas, Soviet
news agency, and 228 in Amtorg,
Soviet trading corporation. Amer
lean officials and newspaper cor
respondents in Russia amount to
about 130 at latest count, it was
said.
Mr.. Lovett reviewed details OF the
Soviet action in barring the sena-
torial group, which had been dis
closed Tuesday by Chairman
Bridges of the Senate Appropria-
tions Committee.
Amvets Assail Russian Move.
Ray Sawyer, national commander
of the American Veterans OF World

terming it another step "in the chain

and political war to shooting war. "
Now is the time to get tough"
Mr.. Sawyer told newsmen in Co.

Mr.. Lovett said Moscow twice
