NOT FOR INDEPENDENCE

From Batavia, now a part of Indone-
STA, comes the news of guerrilla army, un-
der the leadership of an outlaw former
Dutch officer, which is on the move and,
apparently, I'm revolt" against the estab-
lished authorities. a,al2
The Netherlands Government is coop
Grating with the native government in
moving to suppress the disorder. This is
commendable and what one would ex-
pect.
If the uprising had occurred before
the Dutch Government granted independ-
ence to Indonesia, there would be many
columns of news, telling US about an in
dependent movement on the part of some
discontinued natives, seeking "independ-
ence" in Batavia Unfortunately for the
outlaw leader of the rebels, the cause Of
democracy and the independence of In
donesia are now wrapped up with the ma
tive troops and whatever assistance they
can get from the Dutch Government.

This IS roPs FOR BEING SILLY

The saying that hindsight is better
than foresight does not always apply. In
fact the hlndsight Of some of the political
coiumnists does not seem to be as good as
the foresight Of the officials they criticize.
Constantine Brown, who writes q col
umn on foreign affairs for several news
papers. takes a poke at the late President
Roosevelt because, at Yalta, he agreed to
hand over the Kurile Islands to the Rus
SLAMS.
Everybody who is familiar with the
circumstances at the time of the meeting
al Yalta understands that the United
States was facing the possibility Of invad-
ing Japan. The operation, in the opinion
Of military experts, might cost this nation
one million casualties. 1t was important to
get Russia into the fray, If possible, and
the concessions made to the Russians at
Nalta are to be viewed in that light
Mr.. Brown, however, says that the
japanese did not conquer the islands but
purchased them from the Russians. Con-
sequehtly. he thinks that giving them the
islands may permit the Soviet Govern
ment to raise a claim to Alaska, which
also was purchase from Russia
This Is about the silliest reasoning we
havesseen in the public prints for long
times Obviously, if the Russians defeat
the United States in war and this coun-
try lbs helpless on its back, the Russians
viii 30 doubt take Alaska and they may
take many other bases on conquest, how
ever,sand not upon any precedent set in
CONNECTION with the Yalta agreements.

CHARLES QUERIES

This being Saturday it is not
easy to write a column. This end
of the-week day, though the
busiest for most citizens a~yoss
the nation. is the one on which
our minds find time sf0r a brief
review of the fading week. Most
of us are, in varying degrees,
aware of the things we have done
which we should not have done.
The mistakes of the week take
on rather glaring significance
along about Saturday night.
Some of us are wont to liqui-
date our regrets on the late
watch. It is then that we become
unconsciously conscious of a
rather disturbing fact if we al
low ourselves to lapse into retro
spect The things we have done
that we shouldn't have done then
become less important.
We realize that our greatest
mistakes were those of non-com-
mission: Not having done the
things. we really ought to nave
done.
There may be time to do those
things next week.
A mighty good way to start is
to attend the church of your
choice on the morrow.

usage. 1t may be that pyoo-REE is
the prevailing pronunciation in the
United States. Recently I heard
four educated housewives talking
together. All used the pronuncia-
ton pyoo-REE.
At any rate, pyoo-REE should be
listed as a good alternative colo

can Pronouncing Dictionary.
@. A trained nurse who recently
attended me always spoke of the
pulse in the plural, as "his pulse
are very weak" That isn't right,
Is it?-J. w. B.
A. No Pulse is a singular noun
designating the throbbing of an
artery caused by the contractions
of the heart. The nurse should say:
His pulse is very weak.
The plural of pulse is pulses. Thus
there are several pulses in the
human arterial system. However,
doctors and nurses feel the pulse
in the radial artery of the wrist.

@. I'd like to suggest the word

u hear most women pronouncing

doesn't list it that way-Mrs. A. w. S.
A. The dictionaries of my library
show pyoo-RAY or PYOO-ray as
the English pronunciation.
Puree is a French loan word. In
that language the "u" of the first
syllable has a sound that does not
occur in English-it is blend of
zee" and "oo", exactly like the
German unlaut "u." The first "e''
bears the acute accent mark.
Our dictionaries do not list the
pronunciation pyoo-REE apparently
for the reason that the French pro-
nunciation of the second syllable is
ray" However, ,eSince the first syll-
able is not given the French pro-
nunciation, the dictionaries pyoo-
RAY is half English, half French.
Certainly pyoo-REE is well

Opening lead, king of hearts.
Fame and oblivion are frequently
separated by margin no wider
than a hair. Not infrequently sue
cess is the reward for a mere lucky
guess. Sometimes, however; a de-
ciSion that may appear to depend
upon an out-and-out guess can, in
fact, be reached on evidence that
does not appear on the surface.
Such a decision was made by the
South of today'S hand
Today's slam contract was fair
gamble. South opened quite prop
erly with bid of two spades. His
hand represents playing strength
of about nine tricks and his honor
holding is adequate. If North has
as little as the queen of clubs there
should be a splendid play for game
The response of three diamonds is
doubtful. North attempted to juSti-
fly it on the basis that he had three
trumpS and the short suit as an
added factor. An overcan by West
after South's announcement of
strength could have accomplished
no good purpose, indeed, it could
be punished to the extent of at least
1,1O0 points.
The king of hearts was opened
and the queen continued. This was
ruffed by declarer and followed by
the ace, king and another club,
which was ruffed in dummy. South
was now faced with the problem
of disposing of the three of clubs.
There were apparently two choices.
One was to lead the club and hope
that East (who apparently held the
nine of clubS) also had the jack of
spades so that West could not over
ruff dummy's nine. The other was
to take the diamond finesse and
discard the losing club on the ace of
diamonds If the f1neSse succeeded.
AS will be seen, either of these plays
would have failed.
South decided not to guess who
had the jack of spades or whether
the diamond f1neSse would work
If West was not falsecarding in clubs
he could see sure way to make
the hand on squeeze. A heart
was led from dummy and ruffed by
declarer. Then he LED out all his
trumps. West, in order to guard
the jack of hearts in dummy, had
to let go the seven of diamonds
East, who by this time was down to
three diamonds and the nine of
clubs, had to retain the club to pre-
vent South's three of clubs from
standing up. He therefore, parted
with a diamond, and now all the
diamonds had to fall as declarer
played the ace and king of the suit.
A three-suit squeeze had been put
into operation.
