not healed. although Mr.. Roosevelt
is now supporting President Tru-
man.
Democrats look with hope to the
party registration figures in Cali
fornia and to the fact that the late
President Roosevelt carried the State
in 1914 over Gov. Dewey with a lead
of ATS 900 votes. The registration
figures this year at the time of the
June primary were as follows: To-
tai. 1852, ,l29: Democratic, 1865 $50:
Republican, 1.749,223; Independent
Progressive (the Wallace Party,
1868: declined to say, 189.343;
prohibition, $500, and miscellaneous,
1875.
Big Vote for Wallace.
The registration figures, however,
do not correctly indicate today the
relative strength of the various
party tickets. For example, Henry
A. Wallace's vote will probably run
into the hundred thousands. The
claim is made by the Democrats
that the Wallace candidacy has lost
greatly in recent weeks-due to the
Communist issue raised against Mr.
Wallace-and is on the toboggan.
Some of the more objective and
less partisan observers admit that
Mr.. Wallace has lost strength-but
they still insist he will get as many
as 250,000 votes in the State The
Wallace people themselves are run
ming it up to half a million or more
In their claims.
Further, the Democratic registra-
ton had a similar lead over the Re-
publican in 1916, when Republican
Senator KnoWland was elected over
Will Rogers, jr., Democrat, by 275,-
900 votes-and Gov. Warren. who
had won both the Republican and
Democratic nominations, was re-
elected by a stupendous figure.
While the AF'L State Federation
at its convention this week indorsed
the Truman-Barkley ticket and
adopted resolutions vigorously at
tacking the Taft-Hartley Labor Act,
Republicans say they will have a
considerable number of AFL union
leaders working for Gov. Dewey and
Warren-some openly and some on
the inside but making no public
statements.
Strike Hurts Democrats.
Also, the Republicans are en-
couraged by the formation of Dem
ocratic Dewey-Warren clubs. with
some important Democrats taking
the lead.
While the CIO high command,
headed by Philip Murray. has gone
all out for Mr.. Truman, Harry
Bridges and his longshoremen's S
union. and several others are for Mr.
Wallace. The Bridges support is
two-edged-both helping Mr. Wal
lace and hurting him. Mr.. Bridges
personi1es the opposition to Mr.
Wallace on the Communist issue.
1t has ben charged that Mr.. Bridges
brought about the present long
shoremens' strike for political rea-
sons. For whatever reasons the
strike was called, it is not helping
the Democratic ticket. 1t is causing
losses to hundreds of thousands in
California, and if persisted in will
throw many more people out of
work.
Violence in the strike of the CIO
Oil Workers Union already has
caused shortage of gasoline in the
East Bay area. Oil companies have
declined to continue deliveries where
their drivers are in danger. This
strike is four weeks old.
Embattled ship owners and bust
ness interests have determined tc
fight the longshoremen's strike tc
a finish, and if possible to rid the
union of Communist leadership

Take Ny Word for 1t
By Fronk Colby
A FOyn Town.

During comparatively recent years
I have noted most peculiar and
interesting mannerism in the speech
of many people Of New York City.
1t is an 10y" sound given to words in
which the i" have the long (eye)
sound, as 10y had a foyn toym" for
Il had fine time"
Now 10Y" for long 81" is a charac-
teristic of the Irish accent. But the
"oy'' heard in New York apparently
is not of Irish origin, for l have
heard 1t in the speech of persons
who are not Irish and who speak
with no trace of any accent.
Moreover, 10y" is not confined to
the uEeducated. Not long ago was
walking on upper Fifth Avenue. Two
smartly dressed young women passed
by, and heard one of them say of
a weekend party she had been on:
10y had foyn toym. They woyned
and doyned me (wined and dined
me)."
I am unable to account for the
popularity. Until my young man
hood, I lived in New York City a
good deal of the time. I never heard
"oy' for I, ETC., until about 10 or
Is years ago.
1 have asked New York speech
professors about it; and they tell me
that they also are at a loss to ex-
plain the 10y" sound. But there il
! -. 4
you. too, have heard it if you have
visited New York City in recent
years.
I do not believe COY" is heard in
the speech of upstate New Workers
1t is strictly product of the city
Also, it is not related to the dialec-
tai 10Y" that occurs in words like
bird, girl, word.
Have any of my readers the key

The bidding:
South West North East
spade Pass 3spades Pass
4 hearts Pass 4spades Pass
spades Pass Pass Pass
Opening lead, jack of hearts.
Hard luck recruits most of its
victims from the ranks of the care
less. When a hand can be safe
guarded against bad breaks, one is
not inclined to lend sympathetic
ear to the declarer who complains
about an unfortunate distribution.
Today we have another in the long
string Of cases in which a player
took too much for granted.
The final contract was the essence
of soundness. North's three-spade
call Is the best response with his
holding When an exact description
OF the strength and type Of hand
can be given in one bid it is much
superior to a roundabout way of
getting there. Nothing Is to be
gained, therefore, on hands of this
type by temporary bid of two
clubs. 1t is only when neither a
three nor a two spade bid gives the
exact description that it is neces-
sary to resort to indirect methods.
South fully intended to contract for
a slamwhen he heard the jump (be-
cause he had considerably more than
a trick in excess of his opening bid,
but he had some vague ideas of
seven and started in that direction
by showing the ace of hearts. When
North returned to four spades, South
concluded that partner either did
not have the ace of clubs or could
not afford to show it, so he aban-
doned the big prize and settled for
little slam. Note that had North
been able to show his ace without
getting above the game level he
would have been justified in so do
ing. But when it involves passing
the game. to indicate possession Of
an ace, additional values should be
held.
The jack of hearts was opened,
covered by the queen, king and ace.
Declarer saw that he could get rid
of his losing heart on the ace of
clubs, so there was nothing to it
but the trumps Just in case of
fire." he said, I'll lay down the ace
OF trumps." And the confagration
broke out.
A safer way for declarer to have
played the hand it seems to me,
would be to cash the king of clubs,
enter dummy with the king of dia-
monds, take his discard and then
lead a small trump from dummy,
barely covering anything East plays.
If East should show out, naturally
the ace would be played and the rest
is routine.
The only real risk involved in the
suggested line of play is that East
will have singleton diamond and
two trumps and that West will win
the first trump trick and return a
diamond. This I consider a less
likely occurrence than East holding
all three trumps.

On broadcasts of Gen. Pershing's
funeral services, the word catafalQue
occurred many times. 1t was invari-
ably mispronounced: Kat-uh- -fawlk.
But no authority known to me
sanctions an Jaw" vowel sound in
the third syllable. The "a" of
-falque should be fiat, as in pal,
thus: KAT-uh-falk, the third sylla-
BILE rhyming with tale.
Many readers have asked about
the verb to grease and the adjective
greasy. rs the z sound incorrect?"
they ask. No; it is not incorrect.
I think the country is fairly we'll

|90-Foot Chip Into Cup
Puts Riegel in I'm.
Golf SemifinaI
lx fhs A..eeiatsd Pres,

KANSAS CITY, June 25.-The
players who had the right shots
when the pressure was on squared
of in semifinal matches Of the
Trans Mississippi Golf Tournament
today.
Skee Riegel, the National Amateur
champion from Glendale, Calf, who
advanced through the quarter finals
on a 90-foot chip shot into the cup,
was paired against young Lawrence
CLOSER of Oklahoma City.
John Kraft of Denver, Colo, who
went 21 holes in the quarter-hnals,
was to meet Irl Oliver. Kansas City,
a 1-up winner in 20 holes.
The fourth-round and quarter
final players yesterday got their
first sunshine of the tournament,
but the 6,700-yard, par-72 Mission
Hills Country Club course continued
to play long and regulation figures
had a good batting average.
Riegel pulled the prize shot OF
the day on the 18th hole to elimi-
nate Bob Kosten of Kansas City,
up, at a time when it appeared
the unheralded Kansas Citian had
a major upset within his grasp.
Three down through IA holes,
Kosten rallied to win the next three
and set the stage for the Riegel
masterpiece.
Skee's 18th tee shot was straight
down the middle, good 290 yards
and dead center of the fairway.
Kosten's drive was about 30 yards
back. Kosten Clipped over the
green. Rigel studied the green,
chose a wedge and calmly lifted
the ball into the cup.
Riegel had a medal score of 70,
Kosten an even ~.
CLOSER, former Oklahoma A.
& M. player, used steady iron game
in beating Robert Meeker, Univer-
sity of Kansas, 3 and l. CLOSER
won the first four holes, then merely
marked time to the finish.
The Kraft-Oliye match had all
the aspects of real grudge duel,
for it was a duplicate of the 1912
battle for the Trans-Mississippi

Golfers With FiIed-off
Clubs Among Stars
In Inverness Event
By the Assoeioisd Press

TOLEDO, Ohio, June 25.-The
boys who spent some time yester-
day in the pro shop fixing up their
clubs were the stars OF the rain

Hamilton and Keiser were whit
ting some, too-deep ridges off the
faces of their irons after PGA Tour
nament Bureau Manager George
Schneiter had ruled the tools were
just mite off specifications.
In the opening round, however,
the pro shop work paid off.
Keiser and his partner, Clayton
Haefner of Charlotte, N. c., wheeled
right out front with Sup victory
over former Open Champion Lloyd
Mangrum and curly-haired Dick
Metz, clipping seven strokes off par
