ASK FEDERAL GUARD
FOR JUDGE WARINC

NEW YORK W. NAACP Sec
rotary Walter White called upon
u. S. Atty. Gen, j. Howard Nc
Grath "to provide immediate
protection" to Federal Judge J..
Waties Waring and Mrs. Waring,
whose home in Charleston, SC,
was stoned by hoodluns on Oct
ober 9.
Previously White had wired
President Trurla nan dMcGrath,
warning them that an attack
upon the Warnings was threat
e-7ed over last weekend and
urging that "all necessary and
proper precautions be taken to
prevent what may be a tragedy
both for the Warines and the
prestige of America" These
wires we're sent on october 6.
Three days later the unprotected
Waring home was attacked.
Ever since Judge Waring, a
native of Charleston, ruled in
1947 that colored voters must be
admitted to the Democratic
party in South Carolina, he and
Mrs. Waring have been subjected
to threats and verbal abuse by
advocates of white supremacy"
in the city and state. On one
occasion a fiery cross was burned
near their home.
In his letter To McGrath, the
NAACP secretary charged that
certain federal employees in
South Carolina are fiagrantly
violating their oaths of Office to
enforce and uphold the law.
They ignore blatantly the obliga-
ton not only to aprehend and
punish criminals but to prevent
crime before it is committed.
They have gone into the public
press to proclaim that they will
take no steps to protect Judge
Waring which can be construed
as open Indictment to the Ku
Klux Khan, the Dixiecrats and
Others to do what they will with
out fear of apprehension or pun
iShment."
White further stated that
"there is even one verifiable in
stance of a government employee
stating he had received orders
from Washington to provide pro-
lection neither to the persons
nor the property of Judge War
ing and his wife"
The attack upon the Warnings
because of their outSpoken
championship of equal rights
not only encourages violence
against other Carolinians but
also provides grist for the mill
of anti-Amerlcan propagandists
at home and abroad, White as
serted. He cited the Khan at
tack upon colored persons at
Myrtle Beach last summer and
the recent unprovoked police
killing Of a colored mechanic in
summerville as indications of
the wide terrorism In South
Carolina which already exists
and which undoubtedly will
spread if the impotence of fed
eral law enforcement officials is
permitted to continue"
Because Of the seriousness of
this situation" White continued,
"the NAACP vigorously urges you
as the chief law enforcement
agent of the federal government
to provide immediate protection
to the Warnings and to institute

FACTS

Facts are realities or truthful versions,
Deep-rooted, and more lasting than perverslons;
They Justify ones sense of satisfaction
Regardless how unpleasant the reaction.
Distorted facts deceive and slow down improvement,
Time marches on and so should every movement.
The truths which have survived down through the ages
Were unadulterated by the sages.
Facts are not harsh those who face them souarey
Rather, they compensate when dealt With fairly;
Those who unwisely daringly conceal them
Live to regret and wish that they'd reveal them!
For consequences are not incidental,
They're the result of actions rude or gentle;
They shape the moral fabric of nation
And bolster diminish its foundation

While the holding of an ace
queen combination provides declarer
with the opportunity to finesse
against the king, it does not follow
that this procedure is always to
be adopted. There are various rea-
sons why fineSse should be refused.
One Is that you may fear to lose
the lead to a particular hand; an
other is the fear that one opponent
has a singleton and that a ruff is,
therefore, imminent. Then there is
an even more cogent reason, name
ly, a reasonable belief that the
flnesse will lose and that there is
another way to make the king fall.
In today's hand North opened
with one club, East overcalled with
a spade and South came in with
two hearts. North had a difficult
rebid to make at this point. He dis
liked to bid two no-trump with but
a single stopper in the adverse suit
and a weak suit of his own. How
ever, two no-trump would have been
our choice. Normally, such a rebid
by opener denotes a holding of l6
points in high cards, but, after a
free bid by partner, it may be made
with somewhat less. He, therefore,
elected to raise his partner with
only two trumps. BY reason of the
free bid at the level of two he was
convinced that South had a good
five-card suit. If not, then his two
heart bid must have been made as
a temporizing measure, and he was
prepared to take some other appro-
pirate action after South's rebid.
The opening lead was the nine
of spades, which declarer was care
full to win in dummy. Declarer drew
four rounds of trumps, overtaking
the jack of hearts in the process.
Now the natural impulse is to take
the diamond finesse, but South
resisted the temptation. He reasoned
that in view of the vulnerable over
call there was a good chance that
the king of diamonds was an es-

Chestnut Oak.

During May the male blossoms of
the chestnut oak are tossing out
clouds of pollen. They are close to-
gether on long stems, the cluster is
yellowish-green. The acorn pro-
ducing or female blossoms are small,
and grow from the base of leaf
stems. The spring winds watt the
vital pollen to the waiting female
blossoms and it is here you will find
the acorns in autumn.
Chestnut oaks are found from
Southern Maine westward through
Ohio and Southern Indiana, south
ward through Kentucky and
Tennessee to Northeastern Missis-
sippi and Georgia. The finest ones
are found on the Appalachian hills
from Southern New York to Georgia
and Alabama. The trees reach their
largest size on the slopes of the
Carolinas and Tennessee. One
especially large specimen is the
Washington Oak" on the east bank
of the Hudson River near Fishkill
New York. Under this tree Wash
ington used to mount his horse when
he went from headquarters on the
west bank of the Hudson to the
army encamped at Fishkill This
giant tree seven feet in diameter and
its estimated age Is from 800 to
1000 years.
Although we think of the chestnut
oak growing in sandy, rocky ridges,
II frequently grows on rich we'll
drained soil close to stream banks
The trunk usually divides into
several large limbs not far from
the gorund giving the tree an open
irregular spreading head. Usually
the chestnut oak reaches a height
Of so to 10 feet.
. The leaves are five to nine inches
long and one to four inches wide,
narrowly oval with coarsely scalloped
margins. They are rich red as they
open and later, glossy green with
pale green and somewhat hairy
underneath. They turn dull yellow
In autumn and yellow-brown before
falling.
The rich-brown acorns are borne
singly or in pairs on strong stems.
They are enclosed to about one
hah Of their length by thin, rough,
scaly cups. The white, sweetish
kernels are eagerly harvested by
squirrels, who bury them deep in
rich homus and sometimes forget
them. Latter fine little chestnut
oaks grow up. The tiny trees can
be transplanted.
The wood Is hard, strong and
tough, used for mining props, ties
and fencing. The thick bark is
protection against fire and few in
sect pests attack the leaves.
Altogether the chestnut oak is
grand neighbor.

Dachshund is German for badger
dog" It was bred with very short
legs so that it could make its way
into badger holes. The older pro-
"DASH-und" is obsoles-
cent. The German pronunciation
DAHKSS-hoont coo" as in book
appears to be increasingly good
usage, especially among dog fanciers
and dachshund owners and breeders.
Also heard is: DAHKSS-hoond.
The late r. D. r. pronounced the
word decadent as DEK- -uh-d'nt, a
pronunciation that is listed as Sec
ond choice by some dictionaries
But DEK-uh-d'nt rarely occurs in
standard American speech. The
prevailing pronunciation is: dee
KAY-d'nt. This has much stronger
suggestion of deterioration or decay,
and it is the recommendation of

sential part of East's values, and
that if it were singly guarded he
could hold his loss to only one trick
in that suit. He, therefore, went up
with the ace and out with the five
spot, being rewarded for his
thoughtfulness by the fall Of the
king. He subsequently gave up
club trick and made one over his
contract.
Note that had the diamond finesse
been taken, East could actually de-
feat the contract by playing the ace
and another club, forcing declarers
last trump before the diamonds
were established. 1t is also apparent
that an opening club lead would
have made matters difficult for de-
clarer, but, with partner bidding
spades, there was no sound reason
for West to select such an opening.
The moral of the story is that
an adverse king need not neces-
sarily be encircled, he can some
times be taken into camp by sheer
force.
