Going Out.

Going Out.
Another distinctive feature of the
game of canasta, is the consultation
permitted between partners when
one of them desires to go out. He
may ask his partner for permission.
The asking is not prescribed. II a
player wishes to go out without con-
sulting partner he may do so.
Where partner has great many
cards 1t behooves you to consult
him especially if you have some five
and six card melds running for you.
If he is in position to complete some
of them he will naturally refuse your
request and you may repeat the
request on subsequent rounds.
Where the opponents have not yet
melded and you are quite convinced
that the partnership interests will
best be served by going out, do not
ask partners permission.
You should be quick to 60 out
when the opponents have spread
three red treys and you have none.
1t is in their interest to continue
the game, so that they will have an
opportunity to draw the fourth red
trey.
On the same line of reasoning,
where your side has three red treys,
lean in favor of continuing the
game, when a real doubt exists.
AS distinct from games like Okla
homa and Gin, there is no great
Importance attached to the act of
going out. There is only 100 point
bonus for going out on particular
deal which does not weigh heavily
in the scale. Remember, too, that
while the game ends when one side
passes 5000 points there is no bonus
for getting there. 1t just marks the
time when play ceases and the score
is added. The winning team is the
one with the most points.
Your policy in the late stages of
the game will frequently be dictated
by the state of the score and it Is
good practice to make rough esti-
mate OF the amount of your current
melds to help determine what the
score would be if the game ended
at any time.
If you can so time the play that
you will go out with a score of about
1880 it is desirable to do so where
it appears that there is little Ikeli-
hood of your building more than one
additional canasta For If you con-
tinue play and go out with q score
of 3,100 you will need 120 for. your
initial meld on the next deal.
Whereas if you stay below 5000, you
will need only 80. The difference
between 80 and 120 is simply enor-
NOUS and it is worth sacrificing q
probable canasta to gain this ad-
vantage on the next deal.
Similarly 1t would be poor policy

Subsequent Melds.

When a player has been fortunate
enough to acquire rich pile, he will
be in position to spread a great
many melds. Where canastas can
be completed with natural cards,
such course of action is clearly indi-
Gated But in his anxiety to, COM
plete a canasta promptly. player
will sometimes use his wild cards fol
the purpose. To do so at once is
acting prematurely. Sound tactics
calls for the delay of one round
(unless one of the opponents looks
suspiciously like man who is about
to 60 OUT. This will give. partner
the chance to complete any canastas
with natural cards and permit q
more profitable distribution of the
wild cards, next round.
In hand management, it is well to
remember that when the pack is
frozen it is highly desirable to hold
pairs. When the pile is not hDzen
and you have a wild card, it is de-
sirable to have as many different
cards as possible.
When the pile is frozen, it is good
policy to complete a canasta at once
This will put you in position to
escape by "gonig out" should the
enemy begin to ride roughshod
Even if it involves using a couple of
deuces a canasta should be COM
pleted. This is. not the sacrifice
that it might be, for it will be OBJ
served that during a freeze the wild
cards are not nearly the impressive
characters that they are at other
times.

Defense Department
Plans New Survey
On Housing Needs
By John A. Giles

The Defense Department plans
to make another check of it's
critical" housing needs in the
light Of present overall conditions,
1t was learned today.
A new Defense Department
Housing Commission, which will
make complete survey of the
situation, all the way from priv
ates' barracks to generals and
admirals' homes. will be an
nounced shortly.
The Army, Navy and Air Force
heretofore have made their own
estimates of needs. and the COM
MISSIONS study will be the first
time a co-ordinated report on a
Defense Department level has
been attempted.
Conditions Called ACUTE"
The report, to be made to De-
fense Secretary johnson. also will
include recommendations as to
what legislation, if any, is needed
to correct housing shortages at
bases and installations. The COM
mission will be part of the Mu-
nitions Board.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff have
described housing conditions at
some bases as acute" In Alaska,
they reported, conditions are so
bad it is necessary to bring the
troops back to the United States
during the winter months.
However, while there has been
great deal OF building of housing
throughout the country and the
size Of the armed forces in declin-
ing, the Defense Department re-
ported today that there has been
no appreciable change, downward
or upward, in the housing require
ments at military and Naval bases
from q year ago.
The Department appeared to
have made little progress in getting
private builders to construct units
near bases with Federal Housing
Administration help. although 1t
reported that this program has
worked out better than expected" 4"
Unit Need Estimated.
The three services estimated a
year ago, and again today, that
they need 265.541 family dwelling
units, of which 121 900 would be
at Air Force bases. 100000 at Army
installations. and 44,041 at Navy
Istations.
To date only 7,542 units have
been submitted by the armed
services to the FHA-4,042 by the
Air Force. $500 by the Army and
200 by the Navy.
An additional 9,469 units are
now in the mill. preparatory to
