asked Mrs. Claus with twinkle in
her eyes. Soup, oatmeal, broccoli?"
Bucky looked at a great chocolate
meringue pie Mrs. Claus had baked.
His eyes grew large and his mouth
watered. please ma'am," he said.
I'D like a piece of pie"
And she put the whole pie in
front of the boy and he dug into it
exactly as a cowboy should.
When he had finished Bucky
went to Santa's knee why are
you still SO sad? Isn't everything
all right now?"
It's Dasher," said Santa.
"It's Dasher," said Santa. THE
Jindians took him off and the deer
won't fly without him. I do not
know how I shall make my trip
around the world"
Bucky was quiet and thoughtful
He heard the busy saving and
hammering and bustling about in
the workshops that meant the toys
were at last being finished. The
Jindians had gone and would
never bother Santa Land again.
But what was the good If Santa
could not travel around the world
on Christmas night?

Bucky did not intend to disobey.
He went down to the stables merely
to hunt for tracks the way a cow
boy does when an animal has dis
appeared.
But the Jindians had not all gone
away. Before they left Santa Land
they intended to take with them
this cowboy who has beaten them
at riding and shooting. They could
not let a boy live who had shamed
them. So they had hid at Santa
Land and waited to find Bucky
alone.
When the little cowboy came
whistling into the barn three great
indians threw a blanket over his
head and tied him up with ropes.
Then they flung him over the back
of the leaders horse and sped away.
And no one in all that land heard
Bucky when he cried for help.

anxious should not be used in such
sentences as 1.-THE boys are anxious
to play ball" Can you back me
up?-M. C.
A. The elderly dictionaries froWn
on the word anxious in such usages.
But all modern dictionaries give
complete sanction to anxious in the
meaning Of: eagerly or earnestly
desirous," giving as an example of
correct usage, anxious to please" +"
Literally. of course, anxious
means full of anxiety; greatly
i troubled" In current usage, then,
we have what amounts to two
words: Cd anxious: full of anxiety;
greatly troubled or solicitous; as, to
be anxious about ones health .or
some ones safety. (2) Eagerly or
earnestly desirous; as, anxious to
win the game; to be anxiously

outshoot you. He has done both.
Now go!"
The Jindians gathered in knot
and grumbled and beat their fists
on their chests. For an awful mo-

The bidding:
South West North East
1 diamond l spade Mt Pass
clubs Pass diamonds Pass
3hearts Pass 3spades Pass
7 diamonds Pass Pass Pass
Opening lead, king of spades.
If a f1nesse is the only way to
fulfill a contract, the ordeal might
just as well be faced, but if a safer
method can be found, one should
not place himself at the mercy OF
a $3.50 chance. A flnesse can be
avoided in variety of ways. A
most interesting method was avail
able to the declarer in todays
hand.
South's bid of three clubs was
somewhat bullish when one consid-
ers that his partner had made
response which limited his hand to
IL points, though he did, in fact,
have 13, and therefore, too much
even for free bid of one no-trump.
The king of spades was opened
and declarer was disappointed in
dummy'S heart holding. 1t ap-
peared to him that the only hope
was in the heart finesSe and when
this failed he was down one. De-
clarer had not chosen the proper
line of play. Had West not over
called, he might be pardoned for his
choice, but the overcall made it very
probable that West held the king
of hearts. A method of play
should, therefore, be chosen which
would obviate the necessity for
taking a fnesse in that suit. That
method would be found in the play
known as the dummy reversal
that is, treating the dummy hand
as the master hand for the purpose
of drawing trumps. If spades are
ruffed in the South hand, declarer
can win six diamond tricks, three by
ruffs in the South hand, and three
on power in the North hand. To-
gether with five club tricks and two
aces, the total will be 13.
The king of spades is taken by
the ace and a spade ruffed in the
closed hand with an honor. Dummy
is entered with the eight of dia-
monds and another spade is ruffed
with an honor. Dummy is re-
entered with the ten of dia-
monds and the last spade ruffed
with the ace of diamonds. Dummy
now gets the lead with the queen of
clubs and the king of diamonds
draws the last adverse trump, on
which South discards the two OF
hearts. The jack of clubs is over
taken and all of South's clubs are
good.
The play of the hand is not COM
plicated; it is the diagnosis that
seems to evade many students. A
hand may be played at dummy re-
versal when dummy's trumps are
strong enough to draw the oppo-
sitions trumps and the short suit
CASUALLY the singleton) is to be
found in the hand with the long
trumps.
Observe that declarer's line OF
play depended upon the adverse five
trumps being split 80. Such a
division is favored by the odds and
is a much better chance than a
straight finesse.

disturbed.
The two Congressman found
another location, fired one shot
each into the air and declared
their honor satisfied.
The second bout was with an
other Radical Deputy, Asturo
Frondizi, six hours later. The
two fired one shot each in the
air and adjourned.
Cooke claimed the two Depu-
ties insulted President Peron
Everybody's honor seemed to be

provided him with a radio moni-
tors report, which during the war
was classified.
In nearly 40 years Of reporting
this writer has never encountered
an official as considerate and
helpful" as Mr.. Service was to-
ward Mr.. Jaffe. an alleged edi-
tor who had no standing in the
newspaper or magazine field.
Background material on con-
fidential matters Is available, OF
course, in Washington. But un-
less this background data is in
tended by higher-ups to be leaked
to the press, it is given to a re-
porter only after officials know
him intimately and trust him.
According to his own testimony,
Mr.. Service had never heard of
Mr.. Jaffe nor had he ever seen
the Amerasia magazine. Yet he
was gullible enough to loan Mr..
Jaffe a number of classified docu-
ments-regardless of Mr.. Services
own Interpretation of what clas-
sification means-without taking
even the routine precaution of
asking security officers of the
State Department who Mr.. Jaffe
was. If he had done so he would
have learned that at the time he
returned from China for reassign-
ment the Jaffe gang already was
under strict surveillance and ar
rests were imminent. Instead he
inquired casually of 1t. Andrew
Roth, who also was arrested in
June 1945, whether Mr.. Jaffe had
any Communist affiliations. Roth
replied emphatically that he had
none.
Stilwell Talk Cited.
In private talks with some of
his colleagues at the State De-
partment Mr.. Service attributed
his error of Judgment to the
fact that 1t. Gen. Joseph w. Still
we'll. his superior. had admonished
him not to sit back quietly when
he got back to America but to tell
as many people as possible about
true conditions in China.
Why Mr.. Service, who stated
under oath that he did not like
Mr.. Jaffe. continued to see him
is a matter which the, Tydings
committee has not been able to
clear up yet. But even if Mr..
Service proves his contention that
he simply made an error of judg-
ment, he would seem to be a poor
security risk.

up some confusion last night
about the party Affiliations Of the

Politically. he said. there's no
two-party system in his home.
His explanation was given dur
ing an interview on the Meet the

from the Hotel Statler as a high
light OF the Womens National
Press Club inaugural dinner.
Facing q panel of four club
members. Mr.. Barkley was re-
minded of reports that Mrs. Bark
ley voted the Republican ticket
before their recent marriage.
That situation" he retorted.
has been greatly exaggerated
The truth is. he said. that Mrs.
Barkley comes from Democratic
family Of long standing. her
grandfather having served as a
Democratic member OF Congress.
Voted for Willkie.
I'm 1910, she voted for Willkie, -
he continued, and got tarred with
the pitch of Republicanism. But
now she has successfully thrown
that Off"
Earlier, the Vice President had
declared his belief in the two
party system, apropoS of questions
on the Dixiecrat movement. Such
excursions and detours" usually
don't last long. he said.
Slated to appear in the dual role
of guest star on the broadcast and
ranking guest at the dinner, Mr..
Barkley also found himself pinch
hitting as master OF ceremonies
last night.
The club completed its inaugu-
