for a direct attack on Gov. Buford
Jester because he opposes State
wide referendum on the Presidency

States Rights supporter, said yes

Win or 4 Big Counties.
The anti-Truman faction was VIC
torious in three of Texas four big
gest county conventions Saturday.
The faction demands that the
Democratic State Committee let
the people vote on Mr.. Truman in
the August 20 runoff primary. The
questions would be whether Texas
% Democratic presidential electors
should be pledged to Mr.. Truman
or Gov. Strom Thurmond Of South
Carolina.
An Associated Press count of
convention results Saturday in the
most populous Texas counties shows
the so-called lowalists with heavy
numerical strength in the number
of delegations they control in the
State meeting.
Meanwhile, Republicans carefully
picked some candidates to oppose
Democratic nominees in the No

At the party's county conventions
Saturday, local tickets of one or
more candidates were nominated in
at least seven counties. Such action

Little has ever been said or
written on the art Of prevarication.
The Hitlerian theory was that the
bigger the lie, the greater its chance
of being accepted as the truth, but
in our field, whose principal fnun-
dation Is logic, that theory Is not
likely to be substantiated. 1t seems
to me that a blatant falsehood Is
less apt to deceive than a bold
statement of the truth. To Illus
trate the point there Is submitted
today's hand from q recent tourna-
ment.
The bidding was entirely routine.
South opened properly with one
no-trump. 1t will be observed that
this Is an absolute maximum for
such an opening bid, since the hand
has a point count of 10. 1t does
not measure up to a two no-trump
opening, for which % points are re-
quired. Those hands that fall with
in these two limits, being too
big for one and not big enough
for the other. must be opened
with one of suit, with the
intention of jumping in no-trump
should partner show the slightest
signs Of animation. North raised
to two no-trump declining properly
to show the club suit, which in our
methods would deny possession of
the points required for no-trump
raise.
West led the five of hearts, North
played the three, East the eight and
South, the gay young blade, won the
trick with the ace. His purpose was
to give the false impression that he
held only one more stopper in the
suit. Should he lose the lead he
naturally welcomed a continuation
of hearts, inasmuch as the spade
shift was more to be feared. But
South failed to realize that the play
of the ace was such patent false
hood that it hadn't the slightest
chance to deceive. He was vaguely
reminiscent of the hillbilly who,
CHANGING upon a graveyard inscrip-
ton reading, Here I lie, not dead,
but asleep" calmly observed. He
amt foolin' nobody but hisself."
East won the club finesse and
realized that declarer simply had to
have some other card with which
he could beat the eight, otherwise
West would originally have held @
J9 and others, from which the cor
rect lead would, of course, have been
the queen. He. therefore. decided to
shift to a spade, which held de-
clarer to nine tricks.
Had declarer properly won the
opening lead with the queen, il
would have created a reasonable
doubt in East's mind as to the prop
er continuation after winning the
king of clubs. The opening leac
might then have been made from
AJe52, in which case it would be-
hoove him to return heart ane
establish partners suit in hurry
With a heart return declarer woule
have time to try the diamond flnesst
and the scoring of eleven trick
would be assured. In tournamen
play the difference between nin'
and eleven tricks is quite decisive.

Pet SDeech Peeye


Mrs. Marjorie A. Waid, of River
side. Calf. will receive an auto
graphed copy of my new hand
book for submitting the following
comments:
MY pet speech peeve is the
writer's who sprinkle their stories
and articles so literally with six-bit
words that the reader is forced
to sit with a dictionary at his
elbow to know what the writer is
trying to say.
For example, in a story in
recent issue of Good Housekeep-
ing, I found all these unusual ito
me- words: ineluctabiy, crepuscu-
lar, coseismal, threnodic, sussurrus.
Il will forgive an author for in
serting one or two fancy words
just to prove that he is literate
but 1 ask to be spared his entire
vocabulary in one story
Eighteen hundred-odd years ago
the Roman rhetorician, Marcus Fa-
bius Quintilianus, declared: The
writer should SO write that his read
ers not only may, but must, under
stand"
The magazine writer who goes
out CT his way to use such high
falutin words as coseismal, sussur-
rus, etc, is plainly showing off. One
suspects that he came across the
words. jotteo them down. and de-
termined to use them on the first
occasion.

Singing Sands.
By LiIIion Cox Athey

II you are seeking thrill. across
the Great Desert, stop for a night
at the Empty Quarter of Arabia, :"
and listen for the singing sands.
Camel drivers and others familiar
with the desert sounds refer to
the singing as walls from departed
spirits.
The singing rarely lasts more than
a few minutes. The first notes are
soft and musical, and the sound in
creases to a deafening roar
Travelling over the vast ocean Of
shifting sands you are impressed a.
first by the brooding silence of
the great amphitheater. Then sud-
denly you are aware of sounds re-
sembling musical notes, sirens and
the distant drone Of plane. There
is much depth to the sound ana
you realize it can be heard for a
long distance. At this time you
enjoy it. Abruptly it ends, leaving
you to wonder from where it came
Your best bet is to look closely
at every steep sand dune. Their
climb up the sides of the steepest
one. You will be startled by the
booming sound at your feet SAND
singing is caused by the grains Of
sand moving over each other. At
first the sound is grating When
the sand is running swiftly down
an incline the sound is more like
that of rolling drum. Then it dies
out. Winds shifting the SANDS car
cause the music.
During the ninth century a
Chinese writer recorded his expert
ences with singing sanos He called
one sand dune, The Hill of Sound
ing Sand dune 500 feet high in
the Province of KansA Two mis-
sionaries wrote of the music pro-
duced at the City of Sands (Timh-

Milton A. Friedman, newly
elected president of the State Fed
Grafton of B'nai Birth Lodges has
practically grown up in the ranks
of B'nai Birth. When he was a
student at the University of Flor
ida (and a fraternity brother of
the editor of this newspaper) he
organized the Hillel units in
Gainesville.
He went through the ranks of
office in Sholem Lodge, B'nai
Birth, Miami and became its pres
ident in 1914. He served as Chair
man of B'nai Birth youth activi-
ties for the state for the past
eleven years and was the past
Grand District Lodge chairman of
youth activities. He is now serv-
ing as Florida's representative on
the Districts committee.
A prominent lawyer in Miami,
Friedman is married to the former
Sylvia Stern of Columbia, S. G.
He is a past president of the
Miami YIN. and Y.WH.A. and is
now serving as three-year di-
rector. He was also an officer
in the Beth David Congregation,
and served as chairman of Miami's
Mems Division of Greater Miami's
Jewish Federation for three sue
cessive years.
He is a director of Pi Lambda
Phi Alumni Association.
When Mr.. Friedman was in
Jacksonville recently he told us
that he was 100 per cent behind
the editorial Policy of the South
ern Jewish Weekly and that one
of the outstanding features of
this publication was the Musings
column, which he enjoyed reading
very much.

In statement issued in New
York, he said: History will hon.
or the Jews of Palestine for their
courage in proclaiming their de-
sire for liberty at a time when
political and individual freedoms
were under assault in much larg-
er countries than theirs"
He praised the military achieve
ments of Haganah, the defense
force of the Jewish Agency for
Palestine, which, he said, "is dem
onstrating against numerically
superior Arab forces the same
valor and devotion of duty that
marked the efforts of its soldiers
when they were in the ranks of
the allied armies who repealed
RommeTs Nazis and the Grand
ITuftis Arab bridgades on the
Middle East battlefleldS OF World
War IT,.
He continued: But as was the
case in Americas struggle for in
dependence, it must be expected
hat those who now oppose es-
adjustment of a Jewish state by
'orce of arms will redouble their
efforts. Under the circumstances,
the restoration of peace in Pal
estine will be delayed to the de-
gree that the democratic govern
ments of the world continue to
counternance Arab advantages in
gaining access to ornaments"
Failing an effective method of
steming the flow of weapons to
Arab invaders of Palestine, he
contended, removal of the u. S.
