Let's Go Gooeyducking

If you ever visit the Pacific Coas
in July accept with joyous antici
patton an invitation to go gooey
ducking. Three per day is the bat
limit and there are only Sc days II
the year when hunting is at al
promising. No, they are not birds
but the largest burroWing clans ii
the world!
We are informed that the last
three days in July are the best be-
cause these are minus tide days
when the clans stick their necks
we'll up from the black ooze, max
ing it easy to see them.
Gooeyducks, pronounced Jee-oh-
ducks. are famous for their size and
deliciously favored meat. Chowdel
With an indescribably fine flavor is
made from the long, brown rub
berry looking neck. The clam may
weigh as much as 10 pounds ano
may be IS years old. Most of the
CLAIMS life is spent deep down In
the mud, the brown neck extended
above it to capture food.
Gooeyduck hunters wade bare
foot at the edge of the low tide
their feet sinking down into the
black thick mud. They nearly al
ways bring along with them ar
IL-shaped frame made of two boards
two feet long, two and one-hal1
inches thick. When neck Il
sighted, the frame is pressed about
it to mark the spot" 1t Is wei
tilted uphill to detour the water
from the hole that Is being dug. Yol
simply cannot pull the clam out by
its neck, the heavy body Is too wei
anchored four feet from the surface
Your digging causes the neck tt
retreat. The deeper you go the
lower the neck sinks. Finally yol
have a deep hole from which you
must bail water. However, your last
spadeful of mud exposes a pair Of
gray shells. Eagerly you reach Ii
to lift out your prize. The brown
neck f1ops to one side. With sharp
knife you sever it from the body
When washed in fresh water it as
sumes beautiful ivory shade. The
shells are far too small to protect
the plump coppery brown chicken
sized body. They look more like
saddles. The part they cover is
known as the breast" when parted
down the midrib they lie fiat. The
muscles operating the shells are split
and sliced thin for either frying
or in stew; the large dubious
stomach is removed and tossed
away. When cooking the meat has
rich amber oil which comes to the
top. 1t, too, has delicious flavor
Great fun is had when the chow

Opening lead, jack OF CLUBS.
There are games, principally Of the
pinochle family, in which some tricks
are worth a great deal more than
others. But in bridge all tricks
carry the same weight. The trump
suit, however, seems to WELD a
strange, hypnotic influence over
MANY declarers. They don't mind
losing a trick in a side suit, but it
seems to be a blot on their eScutCh-
con to lose trick in the trump suit
Countless hands have been lost be-
cause of the desire to take an early
trump finesse.
The bidding was brief and to the
point. North elected to respond in
the minor suit as temporary
measure. He could just as we'll have
bid two hearts but many players try
to avoid responding with two of a
major in which they hold but four
cards If some equally convenient bid
is available. BY delaying the show
ing of this suit they will definitely
earmark it as of four card length.
When South rebid the spades North
saw no reason to complicate mat
tiers by showing the heart suit. He
had ample support for rebid suit,
and having at least the equal OF an
opening bid himself, he quite prop
erly went directly to game.
The jack of clubs was opened and
won in dummy. A trump was led to
the ace, the purpose being to post
pone the finesse until the second
round of the suit. Declarer realized,
however, that he was somewhat
short of entries to dummy, so he
followed up with the jack of hearts.
East permitted him to hold the trick
and he continued with his remain
ing heart. the queen going to thu
ace. East shifted to trump and
South changed his mind about
finessing and went up with the king.
Dummy was entered with the club
and on the king of hearts the losing
club was shed. The diamond f1nesse
was then tried and when West took
the trick he drew dummy's last
trump. The total casualties were
two diamond tricks, heart and a
spade.
The queen of spades should have
been declarer's last concern. He
should plan to lose at most a dia-
mond. heart and a spade, On
winning the club opening the first
play should be low heart. The
lack will win and the suit should
be continued East will presumably
return a trump Declarer wins with
the ace and enters dummy with a
club to take his discard, Now the
diamond flnesse Is tried and even
though it loses the defense cannot
prevent declarer from ruffing his
losing diamond in dummy. If neces-
sary the trump finesse can be taken
at the end. And even If 1t is never
taken there is the odd chance of
dropping the doubleton queen. 1t
should be noted that with five out
standing cards the best chance to
capture the queen Is to finesse, but
that play is only slightly superior to
trying for the drop.

1t was to strengthen the cause
of peace that they gave their over

IN THE coffee shops, where
Czechs are fond of sitting by the

cussing politics, I found that the
betting favored the Communists.
They were expected to win be-
tween 40 and 80 per cent of the
vote.
The Social Democrats were ex-

|wx a. IN THE CZECH CRISIS

"a maneuver of the Right, not of
the Left.
Faced with defeat in the cleo
tons, the Rightists decided that
their only hope lay in bringing
about situation which would
cause President Eduard Benes
who belongs to no party) to post
pone the elections.
They hoped to accomplish this
by resigning from the cabinet sud-
denly, drawing the Social Demo-
Gratis with them. Alone, the Com
munists would not represent
majority.
But they failed-because of
the solidarity between the So
cial Democrats and the Com
munists.
ONLY an unimportant handful
of Social Democrats went along
with the Right; the majority re-
affirmed their support of the Left
coalition and remained in the
cabinet.
The Communists and Social
Democrats continued to maintain
a majority - and they held the
government together.
That's the way most Czechs want
it. They have turned Left-volun-
tarily, in free democracy.
Some American commentators
have been saying that free"
Czechoslovakia has been destroyed
by another Munich. The Czechs
don't think so.
THEIR country is not Soviet
satellite" but make no mistake
about it: in the event of real
crisis, they will be on Russia's
side. That's the blunt truth.
They don't want war, but they
fear that U. S. foreign policy is
bent on dividing the world into
two opposing camps.
That is one reason why the
Czech people are opposed to the
Marshall Plan. They want help
from America-all Europe needs
help from us--but they don't want
their independence to suffer be-
cause of that help.
They want peace and friendship
between all nations, especially the
u. S. S. R. and the U. S. And
American foreign policy threatens
the peace, they fear.
WHATS to be done? The people
of Europe know.
On the day that Leo Isacson
was elected to Congress with the
support of Henry Wallace, every
newspaper in Europe front-paged
the story.
And wherever went in Europe,
people asked the same question:
Are many Americans sup
porting Wallace?"
They don't expect Wallace to
win, to be perfectly frank. But
they are convinced that heavy
vote for Wallace will make it diff
ficult for the reactionaries to
stampede the u. S. into war.
The Czechs, like all other Euro
peans, will be watching the re-
suits of our election next Novem-
ber-and hoping.

AS I scanned the newspapers

back to that night club in Prague

what he thought about conditions
in his country.
POOR CZechoSlovakia was on
the road to ruin, he told me. His
factory had been nationalized be-
cause it employed more than 500
workers. The government would
not let him take his money out of
the country, but insisted that he
invest tiff he wanted to go into
business again-in a Czech enter

''You aren't afraid to talk
against the government in pub
lic?"
"Of course notF he roaxed.
I'll go into any government

NO. Czechos1ovakia is not a po-
lice state. The visitor learns that
as soon as he begins his first stroll
down Prague's main street, where
bookstalls outnMnber any other
type of store.
Books in every language can be
found in these shops. And one Of
the American books prominently
displayed is Victor Kravchenko's

most bitterly anti-Russian works
of recent years.

OF COURSE. Czechoslovakia is
closely aligned with her Soviet
neighbor-but that doesn't mean
she's hostile to the United States.
She is not afraid of either Rus
STA or the u. S. But the Czech
people do fear Germany.
The reason for that fear be-
comes clear to anyone who mo-
tors from the German border to
Prague. The trip takes scarcely an
hour-a frighteningly short time
for a people who remember World
War II only too clearly.
