The bridge writer's life, in contrast
with the sailors, may be bold but
decidedly not free. The slightest
unguarded phrase or unmeasured
word is apt at any moment to be
thrown back squarely into his teeth.
Todays hand came to me with a
vehement rebuke from the woman
who submitted it. She was bitter
over having followed, to her severe
loss, the advice I had handed out in
The Standard Book of Play" 1t
was on the subject of bidding slams
and I observed that when you are
quite sure you can make a slam and
know the contract best suited for
the hand, 1t is advisable to bid 1t
straightforwardly without running
around corners and making big
todo. And she quoted verbatim: an
the first place, your partner will have
no difficulty In making 1t. and in
the second place. everybody at the
table will be impressed with your
dashing manner" Her complaint
was this: II followed your advice.
In the first place, my partner had no
difficulty going down one, and in the
second place. no one at the table was
the least bit impressed"
While in sense sympathize with
her, should like to say on my own
behalf that there is such a thing as
being taken too literally. am afraid
that she cannot win pae over to the
of her leap to slam. st
didn't see how he could miss If he
had 21a honor tricks" she said. Well,
he had little over three and he
could very readily miss.
My sympathy goes out to the lady
because proper play could have
landed the contract. In an effort to
dispose of the losing club, declarer
placed his trust in q three-three
break of the spade suit. hoping to
discard the losing club on durnmy's
fourth spade. Since an even break
of an even number of cards (six) is
against the odds. declarer should
have sought line OF play that Of
fered a greater chance of success.
One was available. The chance that
the spade honors were in different
hands (plus the added chance that
East held them BOTH.
After drawing trumps, low spade
is led from dummy and the nine
finessed. This will lose to Vests
queen and declarer wins his return
and another low spade is led from
and the 10 finessed. The
losing club is then discarded on
dummy's ace of spades.
The recommended play will lose
only when West holds the Q-J of
spades alone or precisely three cards,
the Q-J.

Six months later he had 135 four-horse
wagons hauling material, but he took
time out to rush to Boise to welcome his

day he went back to the mountains.
One month afterward he met his family at
railhead with a new clothesbasket full of
hay to pack the baby in. They started over
the pass in covered wagon. The summit
was churned to icy mush belly-deep to

This Is where rubber terrain
models were made In prepara-

worked day and night to pro-
duce models of prospective in

Miniatures are no innova-

built like a rubber mat, which
could be rolled up and carried

first time in World War II.

GREECE WILL ASK U. S. PERMISSION
 DOUBLE SIZE ARMY

ATHENS, Sept. 20 -tR-An in- formed source states the Greek ~ov- e.nment will ask the United States fer permission to double the size of the Greek Army to about 270 1000 men.
 This informant said a plan ap- proved by the Supreme Defense Council calls for adding 70,G00 men to the present Army strength cf 130,600 and for creation of 70,000- man National Guard, which would be under strict military control and would absorb the present armed peasant organization.
 Any expansion of the Greek arm ed forces would be financed from the $500 0O0000 American aid pro gram and hence is subject to United States approval. Chiefs of both the U. S. and British military missions attended the Defense Council meet ing.
 Greek government sources have been advocating an increase in the size of the army ever since last April, when it became clear that Greek forces would be unable to cope with the guerrillas in the north.

PULP POLLUTION
 PREVENTION E
 BEING STUDIED
Two Forest Service Experts Here 10 Assist in Pulp
 Mill Planning

Two U. S. Forest Service tsch- nicians have arrived here to con- duct study on the possibility of pollution problems arising from the establishment of pulp and paper mills in Southeass Alaska, They are Gardner H Chidaster. Chief of the Pulp and Paper Divi ion Forestry Products Laboratory. Mad ison, Wisconsin. and Edward C. Locke, Chemical Engineer. Forest Utilization Service, Pacific North west Forestry Experimental station, Portland oregon.
 The two men said that there are several technical and scientific means, now in existence, which can alleviate pollution of waterways by waste from pulp and paper mills. They stated that the Forest Service is considering the recom- mendation of magnesium pro- cess for mills in SEE Alaska te- cause it has proved to be the most satisfactory process for the manufacture of sulfite pulp which is expected to be the largest pro- duct of these mills.
 They said that a calcium base process would make it difficult to prevent pollution of the waterways as the waste of one mill alone would be approximately 100000 gallons per day. The experts point ed out that the normal wastes us- ually found in the calcium based and other processes is not fac 1 tor in the magnesium method Wastes from the magnesium pro- cess is reused by burning, and thus furnishes source of power
 for the mill. Because of this re- usatility, the factor of the high CT cost of magnesium makes this process quite practical.
 Charles G. Burdick, Assistant Regional Forester, stated that all steps necessary to prevent pol l. ton will be taken. He emphasiz- ed that he mean necessary and not just possible" He said that his office is extremely concerned in this matter and that it will as- sist in every way demanded in order to insure that no pollution takes place.
 Chichester and Locke intend to spend about three days In and around Juneau and Sitka before curing South. They have already spent several days near Ketchi- kan.

pATR0LMAN D0RE
 ILL IN H0SpITAL

s. w. Dore, of the Juneau police force, is resting at St. Anns Hos pital, where he was taken Thurs day afternoon, upon becoming i'll while on patrol duty.
 Dore, resident of Juneau for over six years, was driven directly to the hospital by his fellow pa trclman, Walter Sim. It is ex- pected that he will be released in a few days.
 His illness is ascribed to low Hood pressure and lack of rest resulting in a slight nervous break down. Mrs. Dore, his wife, ex- plained that the nature of his work prevents his getting sufficient sleep.
 Dore's daughter, Claire, is con- nected with the Alaska Communi- cation System, and his son, Will jam, owns the Channel Bus Lines
