SEOUL, Korea, Saturday, Jan. 4.
- (R 1t. Gen. John R. Hodge,
commanding American forces in
Southern Korea, issued a state
ment Friday denying "assump-
tons" that the United States is
working toward a separate govern
ment for its occupation zone in this
country.
These "are incorrect and dan
gerous conclusions" being fostered
by certain elements" Hodge said
in his press statement. He did not
elaborate on this reference, but he
and other American Spokesman in
the past have blamed Communists
for disorders, sabotage and other
unrest in Southern Korea.
U. S. State department officials
in Washington last week conceded
that the tug-of-war between the
United States and Russia, which
occupies the Northern half of
Korea, had almost hopelessly stall
ed any prospects of early unifica-
ton of that country.
Hodge said, however, that he and
his staff were following American
policy as expressed at the Cairo
and Potsdam conferences and last
week by the State department: ''to
continue to work for a united
Korea government by a democratic
provisional government . which
will lead to the independence of
Korea as a nation united - north
and south - into one."
The interim legislature for the
American half of Korea, which
opened Dec. II, lis not a govern
ment within itself, nor is it the
governing b 3D. of Southern
Korea" Hodge said.
1T is exactly what the name
implies - an interim legislative
assembly with legislative powers
to make laws for enforcement by
the executive branch of the gov
eminent" pending establishment
OF a provisional government.
AS executive head of the govern
ment Of Southern Korea, Hodge
said he had been progressively
drawing Koreans into govern.

Symphony Needs Help

Last year the North Carolina Sym
phony Orchestra played 104 concerts,
an increase from 20 the year before.
This year the orchestra's schedule calls
for 100 concerts. This is a remarkable
achievement, considering that the Or
chestra is chiefly supported by indivi-
dual membership subscriptions. From
time out of mind symphony orchestras
have received their principal support
from endowments or the patronage of
wealthy persons who have stood ready
to make up deficits, often running into
tens of thousands of dollars.
The only outside support for the
North Carolina orchestra has been an
appropriation authorized by the state
legislature, last year amounting to 3d.
900, which was one-fourteenth of the
required budget. That the orchestra
has been so successful artistically, de-
spite the financial handicap it has been
compelled to shoulder, is among the out
standing accomplishments of the period
And it has been eminently successful
under DR.. Benjamin Swain, as any one
who heard its concert in Wilmington last
year can testify, and as the fact that
the New York Herald Tribune, Parents
Magazine, This Month, Musical America
and the Christian Science Monitor have
all contained Auditory articles about it,
and the March issue of Holiday is sched-
uled to contain another.
The orchestra needs an annual bud
get of $65,000. This is the minimum
amount of money on which it can hope
to maintain its high standard of per-
Torrance and pay it's bills. 1t is in
sharp contrast with the budget of the
Philadelphia Symphony, which is $780,
900, or the $198,85O required by the
Buffalo Philharmonic orchestra. In
order to reach it's reasonable goal the
North Carolina orchestra will ask the
legislature for $4,000 annually. The
amount is modest, certainly.
One point to. be impressed upon the
legislators is that the orchestra is far
ahead of the experimental stage; is,
in fact, an institution that has proved
its value. While they are considering
plans for the further development of
natural and physical resources within
the state, they cannot we'll afford to
overlook the development of the states
cultural resources, among which the
Symphony stands high.

Earl Alderman of San Fran
cisco, vice presidento Of the
American Contract Bridge League,
and his wife Mabel are one of the
strongest tournament pairs on the
Pacific coast. They had a real holi-
day at the Western
tournament at Coronado. They
won the California masters pair
championship, finished third in the
open pairs, second in the AL
Western mixed teams-of-four.
Mrs. Alderman is a deceptive
player and is always on her toes.
West opened the deuce of spades
against her six heart contract on
today's hand. Knowing West as a
player who never led away from a
king, Mrs. Alderman was certain
that the spade finesse would fail,
and if it failed, the opponents ace
OF diamonds would defeat her con.
tract,
She weighed the idea of going
Up with dummy's ace of spades
and dropping the jack from her
own hand, then leading a small
spade from dummy, to give East
the impression that she was going
to ruff the spade and try to estab.
llsh the queen. If East made the
mistake of playing low, the con.
tract would be made.
On the other hand, West had led
the deuce of spades, and East was
a smart player. If East did 60 up
with the king on the second spade,
West would have a chance to make
a suit-dicecting play telling his
partner to shift to the higher OF
the two minor suits.
MS. Alderman decided to put
East to the guess Immediately, so
she played low from dummy on
the first spade trick and East won
with the king. Now he had to de-
eide whether to lead a club or a
diamond. Although South had bid
clubs, it was a forced bid, and East
chose to lead a club, giving Mrs.
Alderman her contract.
The play of the nine of spades
by West on East's king would be
a variation OF the suit-directine
play. have written very little
about this play lately because it is
frequently abused. Use normal dis
cards and employ a suit-directing
discard only when that is the one

Nudging Fate
Harry Alsop, who covers the
country selling expensive china

pieces in his sample trunk, has
suffered grievous loss and incon-
vience through the breakage OF his

My poised pen pauses, to decide
whether to call him a hereto or a
plain friend OF Satan. I hasten to
add that he is all unwittingly such;
but he is nevertheless an ally OF
the Evil One as an enemy of the
worship of God.
I mean the man who plans the
lighting for most Christian church

alongside of, or directly behind,
the preachers, So that the glare
hinders both clear seeing and clear
thinking. When he can this archi-
tect Or builder, or committeeman
who is definitely aiding the ad-

Let's be Reasonable

Progress is a splendid thing and
new ideas are needed to keep US on
our toes. But after all, there's
a limit to what a man should do
to himself. Take this matter Of
the vericon, recently announced.
On the surface it has possibilities,
but before we go into it too deeply
let's consider all the angles. A
vericon is a sort of television ON
traption whereby a man can sit at
his desk, push buttons, and look
into the offices of every employe
in the building.
Think of it! Maybe you feel
you'd like to know what the Junior
executives are up to at certain
periods of the day. You could take
a survey of how much time the
girls spend fixing their hair and
lips. You could watch the recep-
ton room and duck out when I'M
wanted visitors arrived. But, the
minute a wife hears about the
gadget, she's going to insist on a
connection between the home and
office. She now thinks of you as a
harried, over-worked man in the
midst of rush and confusion. II
would be very disillusioning If she
turned 1t on and saw her mate
chuckling over the funnies or read
ing the sports page. There are all
kinds of horrendous possibilities.
Yes, progress is splendid. But a
man should look ahead and ex'
anime all the potentialities before
going about for some of these
scientific marvels.

Norwalk Locals Of Hatters Form
 A Joint Board
Novaco Elected President Of New Group-Four
 Unions Represented

Four of the Hatters Norwalk local unions will now operate jointly under a Joint Executive Board similar tc the boards ill other cities where the International Union has more than one affiliate.
 A charter establishing such a Joint Executive Board was issued on June 4. The Board will consist of representatives of Hat Finishers Union, Local 32, Hat Trimmers Union, Local B, and Hatters Maintenance and Service Meehan. ics Union, Local 97.
 Each of these local unions will be represented on the Joint Executive Board by its president, vice-president, and Secretary-treasurer, as well as by five members of its Executive Board, elected by the local union.
 Charter Presented
 Following the presentation of the charter by Michael F. Greene, Gen eral Secretary of the International, ar election of officers for the first term took place, James V. Novaco, vice president of the International, anc manager of the Norwalk organization was elected president of the Board Thomas Bellantoni, vice president, and Olive Johnson, secretary treasurer.
 The main purpose of the newly formed Joint Board is to render less cumbersome the transaction of business which affects all of the locals alike, and which in the past they have handled separately. It is believed that through this join, agency the interests and welfare of the members will be taken care of more effectively. While decisions of the Joint Board are subject to ap. prOval by the locals a good many individual local executive board meetings can be eliminated.
 To celebrate the occasion of the in- stallation of the new union agency, which demonstrates how the Norwalk organization has grown, refreshments were served following the presentation of the charter and the installation of the officers.
