Of several items around which po-
Ntical discussion centered at the
Presidents news conference.
Mr.. Truman. was asked about the
status Of Clifford L. Durr, an out
spoken critic Of the Government
employe loyalty program, whose
term on the Federal Communities
tions Commission expires on June

had offered Mr.. Durr reappoint-
ment, but the latter would not ac-
cept
Mr.. Durr. whose wife is support
ing Henry A. Wallace for President,
gave the $4,000 salary the post pays
as his reason, the President said.
Asked for comment on threats by
Republicans In Congress to tie up
various appointments, pending elec-
tion Of Republican President, Mr..
Truman said that was their busi-
ness II they wanted to cripple Gov
ernment operations-but he would
continue to make appointments.
The President was asked If his trip
to the coast for a speech at the
University Of California, June II,
was part Of q broader speaking
program. He replied not that
he knows Of. Asked about an
invitation to address q Swedish cele-
hration in Chicago early in June, the
President said that II he accepted he
would give reporters enough advance
notice to permit them to get ready
to accompany him.
When a reporter asked the Presi-
dent If he had offered a job to Rep
Monroney, Democrat, OF
Oklahoma, Mr.. Truman responded
that he had sought to make him
chairman of the Council OF Eco
nomic Advisers when that agency
was set up.
As to whether he had made q re-
cent offer, Mr.. Truman would say
only that he had had various con-
ferences with Mr.. Monroney. The
Oklahoman was at the White House
Wednesday but would not talk about
his visit.

Voice: High baritone of good res
onance and rather pleasing quality.
1t is voice that mikes well with
no appreciable distortion.
Enunciation: Fairly good, al
though not as polished as one might
expect in view of his long years OF
political speaking. However, the
Slight and not unpleasing careless
ness of his enunciation is much to
be preferred to the too-pretty ar
ticulations of those speakers who
mistake affectation for good tech
nique.
STYLE: Careful and deliberate and
somewhat inclined toward the ora
torical. But the rhythm OF his
speech is uneven, jerky. He would
be easier to listen to II he should
adopt a smoother, more connected
speech pattern.
Pronunciation: Surprisingly poor.
During his keynote speech at the
Republican convention, the words
strength and strengthen were pro-
nounced without the e" as
"stren'th" and "strenthen." Prod
uct was mispronounced "prod-ict."
Palestine was mispronounced PAL

uh-munt." Righteous was "RY-,

The oldest pronunciation OF all
was given the word yearned. The

of the first four letters OF yearned
with the word year"

Noah built himself an ark of tor
reya wood. He must have known
that the yellow close grained wood
was hard and durable in water.
Torreyas are closely related to the
yews. They digress from family ira
ditions by producing bulblike seed
containers instead of cones. They
do, however, provide their seed chill
dren with wings.
The Florida torreya kept its
identity hidden until 1884. At this
time, Hardy Groom, botanist, was
en- route to his estate in Jackson
County, Fla. While awaiting to
ferry across the Apalachicola River,
he studied a small grove of ever
green trees. He took some leaves
and green bulbs from them, and
later found the trees had never
been recorded. He took his speci-
mems to DR.. John Torrey of Colum-
bia College, then the leading
botanist. DR.. Torrey discovered that
the tree was new type. Later,
botanists gave the name of torreya
to it. Years later, three other
species of the genus were discovered,
one in California, another in China,
the third in Japan.
Mr.. Groom planted one of the
Florida trees on the grounds of the
State Capitol. 1t is a handsome
low evergreen. With the discovery
of the rarity of the Florida Torreya
came the need to protect them. The
Florida Legislature enacted local
laws applying to Gadsden and Lib
erty Counties setting aside a 20-mile
area in which these trees grow.
You cannot mistake the torreya
1t rarely attains more than so feet
in height and has a 10-inch thick
trunk The whorled branches are
covered with stiff inch-long needles
of dark glossy green on top anC
paler green underneath. They are
about one-fourth of an inch wide
The small inconspicuous flowers are
green with purplish tint. The seec

rather than cone. It's outside pulr

s no-trump Pass Pass Pass
A great many hands present the
spectacle Of a race right down to
the wire between declarer and the
defenders, with the issue sometimes
in doubt as late as trick IL. In
others the contest is over as soon
as the opening lead is made. 1t is
difficult to overemphasize the i'm
portance of the opening lead, and
tones and tones have been written
on that technique alone. 1t has
been estimated that more than so
per cent of successful game and
slam contracts could be defeated il
the best double-dum opening
were selected, so it is apparent that
the element of luck enters into the
picture in no slight degree. Some
times, however, the application OF
neat reasoning may result in an
opening lead that snatches the hand
from the very jaws of death. The
story of big one that got away
during the Masters individual
championship is told today.
The bidding was normal in most
respects. North's four o-trump bid
| is not conventional, but an invita-
ton to partner to proceed If he has
undisclosed values. II South has
a minimum holding he is at perfect
liberty to pass the our-no-trump
bid and the hand will play there
with a reasonable degree of safety.

ding had indicated, and never him.
self having increased the contract,
accepted the invitation with alac-
rity. His decision to bid the slam
in no-trump instead of in clubs,
which was foolproof, was made in
consideration of the fact that the
scoring was at match points, which
means that each hand is a separate
contest and may be won or lost by
as little as 10 points. Abnormal
bids are frequently made IN an
effort to garner the odd point or two.
| Some Vests, unwilling to adopt
an aggressive attitude, elected to
exit with a club or a spade and
permit declarer to work out his own
destiny. With the concession of the
ace of diamonds declarer had II
tricks. One West player decided 1t
would be important to build up a
heart trick before his ace Of dia-
monds was dislodged and, hoping to
find partner with the queen OF
hearts, led the seven Of that suit.
Declarer had no choice but to let 1t
ride to his queen and had no diff
Guilty in fulfilling contract.
1t will be seen that the opening
of the king of hearts will defeat
the contract and in the post-mortem
analysis it was agreed by most OF
the experts that if a heart Is Sc
lected for the opening lead, the best
bet is to lead the king. If the queen
is adversely held it matters not
whether opener takes off with the
seven or the king, unless 1t so hap
pens that declarer has a singleton
queen, which is not inconceivable.
Remember you are trying to beat
the contract only one trick and II
partner has the queen Of hearts, de-
clarer is doomed regardless OF which
heart you lead. Since the king lead
wins against one additional COM
bination, 1t is the superior play.
