Leader Of Revolution
In Costa Rica 10 Head
Cabinet Until Election
BY the Associated Press

CARTAGO, Costa Rica, April "a
Jose Figueres, leader of the Victori-
Gus Costa Rican revolution, is slated
to be named public safety minister
today when his forces take over San
Jose, the capital.
Mr.. Figueres INDICATED last night
he also may serve as chairman OF an
interim cabinet, to be chosen from
leaders of his armies. A constituent
assembly is scheduled to meet May
8 and an election is to be held later.
Mr.. Figueres said Interim Presi-
dent Santos Leon Herrera probably
will not be replaced if he resigns
May 8. He implied that he himself
would head the cabinet until the
election.
Mr.. Herrera assumed office Tues
day under the terms of the peace
agreement between Mr.. Figueres and
former President Teodoro Picado
Michalski, whose resignation was
forced by the revolt.
(The Panama Star-Herald said
yesterday border reports were
that a counter-revolution had
broken out in Costa Rica. The
reports said the revolt was at $
Liberia and was headed by two
colonels. Units of Mr.. Figueres'
forces were reported on their way
from Santa Cruz to Liberia.
Can informant in Mexico City
said last night a counter-revolt
was being led in Liberia by Col.
Juan Vega Rodriguez and Col.
Mojica.
(Col. Vega, who weighs 260
pounds and is 6 feet tall, was a
commander of the Liberia garri-
son during the Picado presi-
dency)

Take Ny Word for 1t
BY Fronk Colby
What's The Orixin?

What's the origin? Paste-in item
for dictionaries.
st. Paul: Not long ago you used
the term 'gobbledygook" in the
meaning, I suppose, of meaningless
talk. I have seen the WORD before,
but do not know its origin. Will
you please supply 1t for us?-
w. T. D. g
. Answer: FIRST, here is a paste-in
item for my readers dictionaries:
Gobbledygook talso gobblede-
cook, noun. -winded, vague
and pompous speech or writing,
usually profuse In Latinized words;
learned double talk. Pronunciation:
GOB-ul-dee-GOOK c"gook" like
cook~.
The word was invented by the
Hon. Maury Maverick when he
was chairman of the Smaller War
Plants Corporation. On March 80
1914, Maverick, incensed by the con-
slant "gobbledygook language" by
the employees of his bureau, issued
this decree:
"Be short and say what you're
talking about. Let's stop pointing
up programs, 'finalizing' contracts
that stem from district, regional
or Washington levels No more
pattern, circulating, dynamic.
Any one using the word 'activa-
ton or 'implementation will be
shot"
Maverick said, People ask me
where I got 'gobbledygook.' I don't
know. 1t must have come like q
vision. Perhaps I was thinking of
the old turkey gobhler back in Texas
that was always gobbledygobbling
and strutting with ridiculous POM
posity. At the end of his gobble
there was a sort of COOK"
The Texans word is now classic.
If you want good example of COB
bledygook refer to the new "simpli-
fed" income tax form.
In the New York Times Magazine,
May 81, 1944, Maverick, formerly
mayor Of San Antonio, Texas, ex-
plains that he got his baptism under
"gobbledygook' when he first went
to Washington as a civil service en-
ploye. Il soon began to realize
that the users of Latin phrases and
big words, the double-talkers and
long -winded writers, were moving
in m 1ls like an invisible empire
In their wake they were creating
confusion, dullness, and showdown.
They were erecting a tyranny the
like of which America had never
suffered before"

The fear of leading from kings Is
the bridge worlds foremost bosev
man. 1t is simple reasoning that =
lead away from king will be ais
astrous only when the opposition
holds both the ace and the queen Of
the suit. If partner holds one, Of
them, the chances are that nothing
will be lost by the lead. When, how
ever, it becomes evident that there
is no other suit in which the de-
fense can expect to gather any
tricks, 1t becomes not merely de-
sirable, but imperative to attack
that particular suit. especially when
1t appears that discard is available
to declarer.
In today's hand South reached
contract of four hearts on what may
be regarded as normal bidding.
After his previous sign-off and
North's strength-showing bid Of two
no-trump, South was justified IN
trying for game.
West led the king of clubs, and
declarer wisely permitted him to
hold the trick. 1t is Vests contin-
uation at this point that makes or
breaks the hand. Without actually
peeking, what should West lead?
1t is quite evident that declarer held
originally only two clubs else there
would be no point in his holding
up and running the risk Of having
the next club ruffed. (
Since the first club lead could
comfortably have been taken, It Is
clear that declarer is trying to OBJ
tain a discard on the jack of clubs.
But what does he wish to discard?
Is it diamond or a spade? All
the evidence points toward a spade.
In the first place it is probable
that South has several diamonds
and that one discard will not, be
enough for his purposes. In the
second place it is moral certainly
that South has the ace of diamohhs
to justify his opening bid and SUB
sequent leap to four hearts. Thirdly,
spades were never supported, so
that it is not very probable that
declarer has anything important in
that suit. The spade continuation
by West at trick two is therefore
indicated, despite the fact that he
holds the king.
The actual West made the lazy
lead of the jack of diamonds, which
declarer won in his own hand and
took the immediate club finesse in
order to discard a spade before the
opposition changed its mind about
the defense.
