Not Christ Alone

IF CHRISTS MEN had refused to

uans had been willing TO let him
carry. alone. the burden Of the
worlds sin and grief, there never
would have been any Christianity
for there would never have been
any Christians. Peter and James
and the rest Of the apostles would
have refused 10 die for Jesus sake.
The noble army Of martyrs would
have been an ignoble army Of
towards.
No missionary ever would have
left home and comforts and coun-
try: no mother would have laid
down her life for her children. the
unselfish service Of those who have
cared for the sick and the orphaned
would never have been done: in
deed, had no one ever been willing
10 suffer for the benefit Of others.
one wonders whether the world
could have even held together this
long.
Christ died that the world
might live, yes; but others also
had 10 die 10 make his death
avail. He died for Africa. that
Africans might live; but Afri-
cans died till men like Living
stone and Schwolizer and many

also went out and lived there
In loneliness and died In pain.
Christ died for the little children
Of the poor. but until the Salvation
Army and others like them went
down into the slums and suffered

n. Y. Branch Naacp
Answers Charges

Because the New York Branch
of the NAACP has criticized fail
ure of the Nominating Committee
of the National Office for their
failure to renominate Judge Jean
M. Bolin for the Board of Direc-
tors and because the Executive
Committee of the New York
Branch for stated reasons has re-
quested the National Board of Di-
rectors to ask for and accept Mr..
Walter Whites resignation, the
Branch has been charged with
Communist infiltration.
Except for this ridiculous charge
of Communist infiltration the ar
guments supporting the position
of the Branch remain unanswered.
The Executive Committee of the
New York Branch Is the policy
making and legislative body of the
organization and if Communistic
influence exerts itself, 1t will have
to be in this body. The New York
Branch will appreciate any one
identifying any member of its Ex-
ecutive Committee as a Commu-
mist. Until that can be done the
person or persons who attempts
to smear the Branch must be
branded vicious person or per-
sons and despicable liar
Whatever action has been taken
by the Branch independently or
with other organizations has been
accomplished with the approval
and endorsement of the Execu-
tive Committee.
The recommendation of the No.
minating Committee TO offer Judge
Jean M. Bolin a viee-presidency in
the national body of the NAACP

gressive liberal people cannot be

Judge Boln's devotion TO the
New York Branch for over ten
years and the service rendered TO
the National Office for five years
or more should not be lost to the
NAACP. Her right to make de-
cisions and vote on issues that
may arise are needed. When
Judge can serve In a Domestic Re-
lations Court for ten years with

ticulous care with which she has

Plea Made for Princes

By the Associated Press

NEW DELHI.-The crownless
princelings of India, numbering
about 900. together draw draw
from the Indian exchequer an an
nual privy purse of s9.600,00o.
States Minister Sardar Vallab-
hbhai Patel appealed to the Con-
stituent Assembly recently to
honor the pledges given to the
princes for the "bloodless revolu-
tion" achieved by the integration
of their states within two years
of freedom. Patel said that before
the integration the princes had
been drawing from their respec-
tive states treasures an aggre-
gate of $40, 200, 900.
The privy purses had been guar
anteed only during the lifetime of
the princes, Mr.. Patel said. adding
that for subsequent generations it
would be considerably less.

.oren on Bridoe

There is to be observed among
bridge players a curious psyche
logical phenomenon which I am not
equipped even to understand, much
less to explain. It appears that the
less adept a player happens to be
at manipulating the dummy, the
more inclined he is to overbid: it
seems to me the opposite tendency
would be more natural.
Not long ago in a tournament !
met a very genial pair who recog-
nized this failing and tried to COM
pensate for it. 1--WE underbid each
hand one trick" my opponent said,
"but unfortunately it doesn't work,
because we underplay each hand two
tricks" 90,
A little bit of overbidding now
and then is not only good for the
spirit, but actually should tend to
improve ones handling Of the
dummy. Some Of the most inspired
plays have been born Of adversely
brought on by preceding atrocity
in the bidding. Today's hand Is one
In point.
Through series of bids, which
need not be discussed here, South be-
came declarer at contract of three
no-trump. It is apparent that the
taking of II tricks at hearts requires
no ingenuity, but South was the
captain of this team and North was
the Eyes man." The opening lead
was king of clubs, which South of
course. took because he had another
clu5 stopper.
He then tested out the spade
situation because if that suit would
break, the nine of spades would be-
come an entry for the hearts. How
ever, the bad news was out when
West failed to follow to the second
lead of spades.
Now the contract appeared to be
doomed unless the queen and ten OF
hearts were alone, which was ur1-
likely. South hit upon better plan.
He led the jack of hearts. If West
covered he intended to duck with the
idea of overtaking the king with the
ace the next time with a prayer
that the ten would drop.
But West played the two OF hearts
and a low one was played from
dummy. East took his trick with the
queen. Had he not done so, the
contract you'd have been defeated
because the heart suit would have
been permanently shut out. If East
had held of with the queen it would
have been an inspired play. Per-
haps analysis will show that 1t Is
the proper play, but how many play
ers can you think of who would have
risen to the occasion?
1t is to be borne in mind that East

Peacocks rank high in intelligence.
Their senses are very keen and it is
a most wary bird at home. They
love the jungles. High trees are
used by the males for roosting pur-
poses and a place to protect their
long train from dew and mud. When
the cock takes off from his high
station his, train flows out like a
feathery mist. His cry Is loud un-
forgettable cresando with a wailing
quality which cannot be mistaken
for that of any other bird. His

The pea hens have less raucous
voice which is lowered to gentle
note when answering the soft chirp
of her baby.
The display of the gorgeous tail

France Strives 10 Get
'FritaIux' Program
Working by March

PARIS, Nov. 26 (CDN
French are today freely express
ing their firm intention to get
Fritalux-the projected French.
Italian -Benelux economic merger
on its feet by next March now
that November 20 has finally been
fixed as the opening date OF Paris
talks to that end.
The American Congress will
start discussing renewal and en-
largement of Economic Co-opera-
tion Administration credits in
March and according to French
Embassy warnings from Washing
ton that date is generally viewed
as sort of deadline for Western
Europe's start on the road to ef-
fective unity.
France plans to propose at the
Paris conference three-point
program involving:
/. The establishing Of COM
mon rate to the dollar of the cur
rencies of all five future members
of Fritalux, namely. France, Italy,
Belgium, the Netherlands and
Luxembourg.
2. Immediate lifting of restric-
tions on the free circulation OF
capital between those nations.
8. Liberation of a certain pro-
portion of intra-Fritalux trade.
French Realize Difficulties.
It is believed here that it will
be possible to settle the currency
question by March as well as to
free a good many trade .categories
although this point of the French
program is expected to be subject
to much dispute. Each nation,
it is being forecast here. will tty

products exempted from "liber-
aliZation."
For example this country's
"key" products run all the way
from ornaments to practically all
agricultural products.
The French fully realize that
the difficulty encountered in fixing
q date for the opening of the con-
ference was just forerunner OF
trouble looming ahead for the
negotiatorS.-
Holland, which wanted to post
pone the meeting until December
5, to give its experts time to study
the implications of Fritalux, which
will be an economic unit far more

The Dutch postponement re-
quest was refused, however, be-
cause the Italian government in

BLUE PEACOCK.

Go to your ZOO to see the royal
bird from India, the beautiful blue
peacock. A little girl seeing the bird
erect his handsome TAIL. shrilly
called out, "Oh, look the bird is In
bloom!' And small boy begged
the bird, Don't let your feathers
down." Others just looked at the
wonderful display.
This is q wonderful opportunity
to see the peacocks from India,
Burma, Siam, Ceylon and Java put
on their stiff legged parade. His
tory informs us that these birds have
been known and admired since the
Phcenicians brought them from
India to the Pharaohs Of Egypt who
desired them for show pieces on
their estates.
In their native countries they are
considered sacred birds. At night
they come down to the temples
where they are fed and petted There
| is a legend to the effect that when
the peacocks were created, the evil
spirits were seeing too much. To
correct this situation the gods re-
moved the evil spirits eyes placing
them In the tail feathers OF the
peacock.
Some of the feathers carry the
yellow eyes Of envy, the red ones
of anger and murder and the green
ones Of jealousy. Since that time,
the deadly sins Of evil spirits have
followed the peacock. II you extract
| q tail feather from the strutting
bird, the color Of the "eye will indi-
cate what kind of trouble you are
| in for. But II the feather has been
dropped, the bird has overcome the
sin and you are blessed in the pos
session Of the "sin lived down.
However, q keeper assured me, he
had pulled out several tail feathers
and the bird never blinked an eye,

Manpower Shortage
Hampers YugosIavia S
Economic Program
by the Assoeioted Press

BELGRADE, Nov. ga wealthy
country in raw materials, Yugo-
slavia suffers from one commodity
in short supply-manpower.
It needs muscled men to get out
the goods and skilled technicians
to process them for use at home
and for sale abroad, as much. and
perhaps even more. than it needs
machinery.
Both problems-men and ma
chinery - stem from Marshall
Tito's ambitious five-year plan to
balance the country's fruitful
agricultural production with in
dustrial development.
The task he and the country
have set for themselves has been
made doubly difficult by the Mos
cow directed Cominform's cam
paign against Yugoslavia.
Border provocations, the Com
inform economic boycott and Rus
sian propaganda pressure-all OF
them adding to an uncertain
threat of war-have forced Tito
to maintain an Army Of about
800. 900 men.
Heavy Manpower Drain
In a country with a population
of approximately $4,000. 900, this
represents a heavy drain on the
manpower reservoir, particularly
since the soldiers come from the
age group best equipped for meet
ing current needs.
Part of the problem has been
met through use Of voluntary
work brigades drawn from facto-
ries and farms and universities to
push completion of certain prior
ity projects.
These work brigades are build
ing g completely new city of Bel
grade at the confluence of the
Danube and Sava rivers with gov
ernment buildings, apartment
houses, shopping centers and
schools.
They are laying out a new road
between Belgrade and Zagreb,
Yugoslavia's second city. which is
scheduled for completion late this
month. Thousands Of army troops
are shoveling here also.
From the rubble of wartime
shelling and bombs, the work bri-
gades are erecting a new Titograd
which is destined to serve as the
capital Of the Yugoslav republic
Of Montenegro.
Bach-Aching Chore
In many ways. all these projects
have been a back-aching chore;
an expenditure in sweat and toll
which could have been cut sub
stantially by a few score more
bulldozers, cement mixers and
steam shovels.
The Yugoslav authorities recog-
nize all that. But it takes hard
cash-or loans-to overcome the
difficulty.
The country is approaching a
solution from two directions;
first. by pushing production with
all available manpower and ma
chinery; second. by seeking finan-
cial support from the west to in
crease its mechanical output
while decreasing its manpower
outlay.
The third factor which may play
a part in Yugoslavia's economic
recovery is the question Of getting
more manpower.
Tito's government already has
made one move in that direction.
Tito recently told a delegation of
Italians here on an inspection
tour that I'VE need many expert
workers and we would like to have
from Italy at least few tens of
thousands of men,"
This was an on-the-record bid
to help reduce Italy's surplus man
power troubles while solving Yu-
goslavia's own headaches result
ing from a shortage in that field.
Just how far negotiations have
gone in that direction, however, is
not known.
