zonia" Is more likely to get $780,
100000.
The agency advanced 100000 ,00C
to the combined zones during the
second quarter of this year.
The French zone in Germany is
now being merged with the Ameri-
can and British zones, subject to
the outcome of possible future ne
gotiations with the Russians or Ger
many as whole.
If carried out. this merger may
well cost the United States still
more money, because the French
zone has been operating at deficit,
and America may easily end up
helping pay this loss.
Air Lift Figures Qualified.
Gen. Clay carefully qualified his
estimate of the cost of the Amer
lean air lift to Berlin.
At least some of the crews and
planes and other equipment being
used for Berlin now would be IN
use for training and other pur-
poses elsewhere, if there were nc
need for them in Germany, Gen
Clay said, and 1t is, therefore, hard
to say just how much of the i'm
medite costs of operation vittles'
is fairly chargeable to the Berlin
crisis.
This figure is used here because II
is the only one available from any
responsible source in Washington.
Furthermore, officials here point
out that the United States wouldn't
need a considerable proportion Of
its men and materiel in the armed
forces anywhere in the world If II
weren't for the disobliging behavior
of the Russians.
Once you start taking factors like
these into account, you can't make
any cost estimates at all, either fol
the budget or for any other pur.
pose, officials say.
officials also point out that Ger
many is costing the United States g
good deal of money which is being
spent on personnel and materiel n
this country necessary to maintain
the American forces in Germany
for example, the whole Civil Affairs
Division in the Army Department
and the Office of the Assistant Sec
rotary for Occupied Areas in the
State Department.
Surplus SALES" Hard to Estimate.
It is even harder to estimate the
value of the war surplus property
sold to the German Bizonal Eco
nomic Council, officials here say.
The original cost of the property
has already been charged in sue
cessive Army budgets as the materiel
was bought.
Some of the property has been
used and some has almost certainly
deteriorated or become obsolescent
even if unused.
Moreover, there is no regular,
continuing commercial market for
much of the material, and therefore
no definite way of finding out what
the property might fetch elsewhere.
1t is now costing money to guard
and maintain the materiel, and it
would cost still more just to de-

Crash
Continued From First Pare4

Boiling Air Force Base here at 4:07
pm, hurtled into the ground Is
miles west of Fairfax a short time
later. Witnesses said it was flying
almost at tree-top level in the fog
and rain. 1t was en- route to the
Lockburne base.
Army authorities today opened an
investigation into the crash.
The impact gouged a crater 30
feet long and feet wide, scattered
the wreckage over a wide area.
A young housewife, who made a
valiant effort to reach the occu-
pants, praised the pilot for making
such a great effort to avoid hitting
our house."
She was Mrs. Martin L. Beasley,
whose home was narrowly missed
by the plane.
1T was an awful Storm" she said.
"The plane went right over the
house so low 1t shook the windows.
Suddenly there was a terrible
noise and IL seemed that our house
was on fire. ,.,...-,.
Il grabbed my husbands Jacket
and ran out into the rain, hoping
some one might be alive and cry for
help. But the flames were awfully
strong =" shooting all over the
ground. listened for voices. but
couldn't hear anything"
She said she could get no closer
than SO feet to the blazing wreck
and ran back to the farmhouse.
Meanwhile, Melvin Bolt, a neighbor
notified Virginia State police.
Explosion Follows Thud.
John B. Pollard, who lives near
the Beasley house, also thought the
plane was going to strike his home.
1T came over the tree tops very
low. Then the pilot gave 1t the
gun. Suddenly there was a thud
and then it exploded. I've never
seen anything like it," he said.
The wreckage was still burning
six hours after the crash.
The bomber, recently redesigned
from an AIS to a BPS by the
Army, was completing its round trip
from Lockbourne to Boiling and re-
turn when 1t fell.
In the Navy crash, Ensign Hynson,
who was on temporary duty at the
Naval Air Station here, was on a
routine flight as part of his two
week Reserve training period.
Rescue teams, halted by darkness
yesterday, resumed their search for
the pilot in about 20 feet of water
today.
Navy officials here said they be-
lieved the pilot had gone down with
the plane and said they were to send
divers down in an attempt to re-
cover his body.
Naval authorities said the plane
obviously in trouble before II
crashed, was seen by another air.

Opening lead: 10 of hearts.
1t is an interesting paradox that
lie is sometimes the most effec-
tive way to tell the truth.
There are countless hands that
don't fall within a distinct category
and for which there is no precise
descriptive bid. In those cases that
call should be selected which would
most nearly describe the outstand-
ing characteristics Of the hand.
Sometimes, ingenuity will be re-
quired and a little white lie may
be the best way to paint q picture
for your partner.
In today's hand East opened
with one heart. Despite the fact
that the hand lacks the necessary
high cards, few modern players
would hesitate to make the bid.
South was presented with an i'm
mediate problem. Had he been
dealer he would have opened with
very substantial two spade bid.
This holding surely looks like a
game IN hand. South must there
fore make a bid which will insure
reaching a game contract and vet
allow for the possibility that the
hand might have to play in a minor
suit If partner happens to be very
short in spades and long in either
clubs or diamonds. If South should
double first and jump the bid later,
North might pass If his hand were
completely trickless. The only way
to make 100 per cent game fore
ing bid Is to "cue" the opponents
suit. Such a bid announces the
ability to win the first trick, but
South decided to tell this little
white lie, as the best means of
describing a hand that was a game
in itself. North had no choice but
to keep bidding, which at the time
ne found anything but pleasant.
A slip in the defense permitted
south to make the hand against
the very bad trump break. The
lo OF hearts was opened and the
suit continued, South ruffing. The
ace OF spades revealed the bad
news in trumps and South led the
King of clubs. West won and had
he retained the heart for a future
Exit card, the contract would have
oeen set, but he continued to force
1eclarer, who was now reduced
10 three trumpS. All the HIGH dio-
nonds and clubs were now cashed
and West was given the lead with
! small trump. His last two cards
we're the queen and 10 of spades
rom which he was obliged to lead
