 IM pHIlADElpHIA

PHILADEl- -2HIA, Feb. 13.-lh1-- The CIO Transport Workers Union has tlatly refused to settle Phila- delphia's transit strike for fourth round wage increase of seven cents an hour.
 The strike of 11.ooo subway, troll ley and bus operators went into it's eighth day with she union and the Philadelphia Tlansportation Con- pany six cents apart on wages.
 Some relief came to Philadelphia s millions, however, with the end of three-day walkout by AFL Yellow Ca5 Drivers. Scattered fist fighting punctuated resumption of cab oper- ations
 Mayor Bernard Samuel got the PFC to boost it's wage offer to sev- sn cents at an emergency strike nleeting while the TWU lowered its demand to 13 cents. There negotia- tions snagged again.

Take My Word for 1t

A Pet Sneech Peeye.

"A oPCCSA CCtCs
Mrs. M. Lowe, Milwaukee, registers
her Pet Speech Peeve, for which
she will receive an autographed copy
of my new Handbook of Better
English.
Nothing so abruptly jolts me as
the slovenly habit of sloughing over
the name of a person, place or thing
with INTERCHANGEABLE I dearly
love colloquialisms; and idioms send
me searching through books to find
their source. But people with their
whatyoumaycallits are getting on
my INTERCHANGEABLE so much that
I'm afraid of losing my whatyou-
maycallit"
The Whatyoumalcallit habit can
be extremely annoying when car
ried to excess. But it's a useful
word if not overWorked.
1t is strange that We do not have
a popular and legitimate word
which means this person, place, or
thing, the name of which I do
not know or have forgotten" for
we have constant need of such a
word, hence the coinage Of what
youmaycallit.
In this mechanical, electronic
and atomic age, we non-technical
people are eternally pressing but
tons. twisting dials, throwing
switches and working contrivances
the names of which we do not know.
It Is only natural, then, to en-
ploy such nonsensical terms as
thingamajig, gadget, gismo, gim-
mick in designating any device OF
a technical nature. Even the word
contraption. it may surprise you to
know, is illegitimate and originally
was slang.
The slang dictionaries list several
hundred whatyoumaycallit words
like dngbat, whatsis, thingama-
dodger, dofunny, jigger, hickey,
hootenanny, doflicker, dingus,
whoozits, dodad. hoodus, dohickie.
To be sure. they are inelegant,
and do not belong in serious speech
or writing. But in colloquial use
they do serve a useful purpose In

Today's hand Is another IN our
series on the discussion OF cofnmuIl-
cation plays. The disruption OF
enemy connections receives our at
tention at this time.
Because Of his appealing distribu-
ton, East took liberties with the
high-card requirements for an open
ing bid. South's Jump overcall OF
two hearts was proper. as was VESTS
bid of two spades. East's free raise
to three spades Is Of doubtful
strategy. Even had North not en-
tered the auction, it would have been
more prudent to indicate the mini
mum nature of the opening by re-
bidding three diamonds, but when
North chose to raise, East should
have held his peace. Vests double
of the four-heart contract seemed
sound enough to suit the tastes OF
the most cautious contestants.
Holding complete control Of the
trump suit, West decided to try 1or
a club ruff and opened the eight OF
that suit. Declarer won in dummy
in order to lead a trump in hurry.
East showed out and West won with
the queen and continued the CLUB.
South won and led another trump,
which was taken by the ace. west
then led the eight OF diamonds, 10
be sure that partner would win the
trick, and the club ruff defeated the
contract. While the defense was
very capable, South could have
spiked the attack by neat, though
simple, bit Of strategy.
It is evident that unless the oppo-
sition gets in club ruff the contract
will be made, because it appears that
West has the trumps and East
should have the king of spades de-
spite the fact that West bid that
suit. The opening bid and the spade
raise make that circumstance hlgnly
probable. But West cannot obtain
the ruff unless he can reach his
partners hand. The only means OF
communication Is the diamond road.
Declarer's first assignment, there-
fore, should have been to break UP
the connection between the Two
hands. This could have been done
bv leading q diamond Immediately
at trick two. West will win and
continue clubs. Declarer wins and
now starts the process of extracting
trumps. East cannot obtain the
lead and the club ruff never
comes of.
what" you ask, "if Vests lead
had been a singleton? In that case
no earthly power could win the hand.
In such cases we do not choose to
worry. but, rather, follow the pre-
cepts of Old Nose, who attributed

A number Of the top radio COM
edians, having grudgingly admit
ted that teleyision Is here to stay.
It seemed pertinent the other aft
ernoon to ask Bob Hope what his
plans were. Jack Benny already
has made his video debut on the
West Coast and lis reported to have
been 80 pleased with the foot
wetting that he is going to dive
IN all the way In the fall. Eddie
Cantor and Ed Wynn also have
indicated that next autumn will
ind them on television, like
Benny, by way of kinescope re-
cordings In the East. Amos n
Andy. too. are rumored to have
come upon the answer to making
their show q visual entertain
ment.
So. what was Mr.. Hope going
10 do about television?
What am I going to do about
television? What's televiston 60
ing to do about me? It's their
problem. They're stuck with me. I
guess we'll have to do 1t in the
fall. that's ALL"
1t rapidly became clear that
this was not the man who would
be bringing anything revoluntion-
ary in video comedy into the liv-
ing rooms come autumn, unless he
was being cagey. Trying to ques-
tion q man on the run. between
exits and entrances during a
stage show. is not very satisfac-
tory, of course, but what Mr.. Hope
limited at sounded like a television
version Of his radio show.
What can I do?" he said. Same
old thing. I guess" 1t was sug-
gested that there might be too
many variety shows on television
by fall.
There may be-" said Mr.. Hope,
"but I think that's the answer
for me. Give EN- top-notch acts,
solid comedy sketches and some
characters they will remember and
recognize"
1t was apparent that Mr.. Hope
was not a radio personality quaking
before the bugaboo Of television
and also that he had not bothered
to give it much thought. An easy
going, unrufded man Cor he'd
never last through these whirlwind
tours), he no doubt will postpone
serious concern over his television
entertaining until the date for the
first show Is set.
The comedian is free of one
shackle that keeps a number of
other Aim stars from facing the
image orthicons. He retains his
television rights and Paramount
can't keep him out of video. He
has no definite television commit
ments as yet. however.
Il guess it's up to CHS and
NBC." he said. "cBS. NBC and

could do shows for the Treasury
and then wouldn't have to take
the money. Just let them keep it.
