Usher of the Chronicle Star and

Freedom Of speech and free

believed il TO be a moral obliga-
ton of a newspaper to inform the
public of both sides Of a con-

For the purpose OF increasing
sales of papers. too often sensa-
t;onal stories are printed with
little thought of their effects. he
said. and cited two or three famil-

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 49, 1850 .

on NBC station license renewals
until the matter is cleared up.
The NBC recently put in an
order to- % stations in as many
cities for two and a half hours of
Saturday night time for a period
of 13 weeks, starting February 25.
The hours specified were 8 to
1920 pm.
The commission said the pro-
posed arrangement apparently
would block out the competition
of advertisers and of other net
works during the period involved,
so far as a number of one-station
cities are concerned.
Independent stations in such
cities use various network con-
nections in their operations.
The Allen B. Dumont labora-
tories, operating the Dumont tele-
vision network, has objected that
the NBC plan would tend to create
a monopoly on choice broadcasting
time.

An enormous amount of writing
has been done on the subject OF
the opening lead. In my own trea-
tise on the play of the cards, over
$4,000 words are devoted to that
topic alone. I attempted there to
make sit clear that it is not an
exact science and that wide latitude
is permitted for the exercise OF
Imagination and I might go SO far
RS to say, reliance on a mere
''hunch." In opening leads, as no.
where else in the game, luck plays
q prominent role.
Today's hand is offered in support
Of that contention. The deal occur
red in an important tournament
ana the bidding proceeded along
various lines at the different tables.
In several cases the auction was that
indicated in the diagram above. 1t
will be noted that the slam in clubs
would have been a cinch, but in
duplicate play where each deal con-
stitutes match, no credit is allowed
for honors and it is desirable to
play for 80 points trick rather
than 20.
West was called upon to make
the opening lead and had naturally
to select between spades and dia-
monds with precisely the same hold
ing in each. Where the spade was
opened, it was taken in dummy with
the ace and the trump finesse tried.
After this failed, declarer took the
balance, discarding all his losers on
the established club suit.
Another West player selected the
diamond queen as his opening and
with subsequent proper defense,
following one little slip by declarer,
the contract was defeated.
Declarer realized that If he tried
to ruff out the diamonds he would
lose several trump tricks, SO he
entered dummy with a spade and
tried the jack of trumps. This was
permitted to hold. The 10 of hearts
was then led and when East showed
out, the trick was ducked. West
again refused to win. Declarer then
started to run the clubs West ruffed
the second round of the suit and
played the king of hearts. Since
there was no way to reach dummy
declarer lost three diamond tricks.
or course, we do not pretend
that declarer played the hand in
safe manner. Had a low heart been
led at once, without disturbing dunn
my's entry, the defense would have
been helpless. In tournament play,
however, South did not choose to
abandon hope of making seven. He
could have won the hand by cross
Ing to dummy with a club, but with
nine Of them in sight, he considered
such a play dangerous in that he
might subject himself to an early
ruff.
But the point wish to make is
that luck was the deciding factor
in the opening lead.

Boreno Gibbon.

On entering a Boreno forest, you
are greeted with series of shrill
notes of, "wat-wat-wat!" This is
the voice of the Boreno gibbon; the
Malay natives call it "watwat."
They are dependable alarm clocks
for those who wish to be awakened
at dawn. just as light begins to
spread over the sky, the gibbons
announce the happening to all
within the sound of their voice.
These apes leap and squat like
men. For this reason certain tribes
worship them claiming that they
are their brothers who have come
from the sun and their arms are
much longer than ours because
they continuously reach heavenward.
They can Shrek by the hour.
In captivity all gibbons are nerv-

they are happy as they race through

Wilson Boy, 11,Fights
Mother in Court as
She Wins Custody

The kicks and screams of her
11-year-old son rebuffed a mother
in District Court yesterday.
But under the firm order of
Judge Richmond B. Keech, the
boy left the courthouse with his
mother, despite his display.
The incident was the latest in
the long contest over custody of
Johnny S. Wilson. His now
divorced parents, Roger S. Wilson,
a Government employe here, and
Mrs. Irene Wilson of Covington,
KY, have been at it in court since
1947.
Mrs. Wilson was awarded john
ny's custody by a Kentucky judge
that year. Since then, Mr.. Wilson
has accused his former wife of
being an unfit mother, charging
misconduct. He also has contended
that Johnny once jumped out of
a window to escape returning to
his mother.
Mrs. Wilson has counter-charged
that her ex-husband "coerced and
coaxed" Johnny to remain with
him after a post-Christmas visit
last month. She brought Mr.. Will
son into court yesterday, asking
Judge Keech to hold him in con-
tempt for refusing to hand over
their son to her.
Although the judge declined to
act then on the contempt motion,
he ordered that Johnny be sur
rendered Immediately to Mrs. Will
son and go home with her.
At that point. the boy took
matters into his own hands.
II don't want to go with you-I
want to be. with my daddy" he
screamed.
Kicks and Bites.
When his mother tried to take
his hand, he kicked at her and
bit her, screaming over and over,
Il don't want to go with her"
Judge Keech tried to stem the
commotion by reminding the boy,
You're old enough to under
stand" But even the judges
warning that Johnny could be
taken from both parents and
placed in a school did not quiet
the boy.
With the aid of relatives, Mrs.
Wilson finally led Johnny, still
screaming and kicking, from the
courtroom.
Through Attorney Joseph Sit
nick, Mr.. Wilson has denied in
fluencing Johnny's feelings. Mr..
Wilson. a former Navy lieutenant,
lives at 513 Seventh street NE.
Mrs. Wilson was represented by
Attorney Clifford Alder.
