Many persons of average intel
ligence and education are often
stumped by the simplest point of
grammar because of the vague and
complex abracadabra that has al
ways surrounded the teaching of
English. There seems to be an un-
written law that writer's of Eng
lish textbooks must strive to make
them as unintelligible as human
ingenuity can devise.
For example, If one Is undecided
whether to say, HE likes to hear
my singing" or HE likes to hear
me singing" one wanders wearily
through the bewildering maze of
the English grammar and finally
comes upon this lovely gem of en-
lightenment:
The substantive preceding the
gerund is usually in the possessive
case. The substantive with a
present participle is in the nomina-
tive or the objective case, according
to the use of the substantive in the
sentence"
Is it any wonder, then, that
throughout school, and for the re-
mainder of ones life, grammar is
regarded as distasteful subject
that is "too deep for me-?

1t is not every nand IN contract
bridge that lends itself to complete
scientific description. On great
many deals, situations develop for
which the art of man has not been
able to devise the perfect bidding
method. In those cases one must
place his faith in probabilities and
when slam is likely he should
pull himself up by his boot straps

this point North diagnosed the

ever, he took the precaution to in
vestigate for the best possible final
contract by bidding three diamonds.
South then showed his diamond
support, after which North showed
the ace of clubs. Now South con-
tracted for a small slam. This was
as far as he dared go, since, for
all he knew, partners diamonds
might have been headed by the
king Jack, and he was not inclined
to risk all on the chance of pick
ing up the queen of trumps. North
bid seven with complete confidence.
He marked his partner with eight
cards in the red suits and placed
him with a trick in clubs and a
half trick in spades. He could,
therefore, visualize II top-card

Feinsinger Indicates
Approval Of Raises
Based on Output
By james Y. Newton
Sior Stuff Correspondent

NEW YORK. Nov. IA strong
hint that the Government will
give its blessing to pay raises
based on increased worker output
was given today by Chairman
Nathan P. Feinsinger of the Wage
Sterilization Board before the CIO
convention.
Mr.. Feinsinger made his re-
marks as the CIO threatened a
rebellion against Federal wage
controls. The labor leaders not
only want approval of so-called
production efficiency wage in
creases. but they want the Gov
ernment to keep hands off of all
increases negotiated by unions
and management.
1T has been our traditional
boast" Mr.. Feinsinger said this
Afternoon. that the American
worker receives the highest wages
in the world because he is the
most productive.
Matter of Simple Equity.
"If it can be shown that he has
contributed to more or better pro-
duction. then simple equity re-
quires that the board not arbi-
trarily rule out an attempt by the
employer to share with the worker
the savings that result"
The issue of production incen-
tive increases is now before the
board for a general policy ruling.
So far, WSB has approved such a
plan only in the case of General
Motors Corp. and the CIO United
Auto Workers. whose fve-year
contract calls for an annual in
crease of 4 cents for improved
production efficiency.
(! Unlikely to Be Pleased.
| But there was great doubt the
WSB would go far enough in its
ruling to provide pay increases Of
a size likely to be asked by the
million-member CIO Steelworkers
in negotiations to start soon.
| Federal officials say if the Gov
ernment followed the CIO plan
and gave automatic approval to
all negotiated wage increases, it
obviously would mean an end to
all wage control.
Another speaker on todays con-
ventlon program with Mr.. Fem
singer was Assistant Secretary Of
Defense Anna Rosenberg. She has
charge of the armed forces man
power program.
Demand Ousting of Racketeers
BY unanimous action, the dele
gates yesterday called upon their
unions to kick out racketeers or

racketeeers as it did in expelling
Communist dominated unions o
few years ago.
/ Plans are being made to set I'D
a sort of Little Kefauver Com
mittee" to enforce the convention
action.
In another action the conven-
ton demanded a better meshing
of defense and civilian production
in the Governments huge mobil-
ization program Walter P. Reu-
ther. president of the United Auto
Workers, warned that unemploy-
ment resulting from cuts in civil
ian production would cause more
lost time in the Detroit area in
the first half of 1852 than strikes
likely would cost the entire coun-
try in the next three years.

 With the midway mark in the season approaching, Richards woulo like to see the Sox in the lead July 4, that traditional date on which the top club theoretically become the one to beat for the pennant.
 Returning home with an even break in 16 road games, the White Sox have not fully been accepted in that category opposing man. agers just can't believe they're that good.
 They have held the lead since May 28, but now are only one game in front whereas they were 2l2 be- fore starting east two weeks ago.
 Upwards of 40,000 customers given warmer weather, are expected to pile into Comiskey Park tonight as the Sox open a nine-game home stand against western clubs.
 If there is one thing of which l am certain" says Richards, the White Sox don't know the meaning of the word quit" .
