Russia increases her air power anc atomic stockpile.
 At another point, Vandenbere gave his definition of what would be "complete victory" in Korea. Ht would regard it as complete victory if there was unification of Korec under A democratic government ano "sonne sort of" Korean-Chinese treaty.
 In other high spots:
 1. Vandenberg conceded under questioning by Senator Bridges that some calls for F-84 fighter planes for Korea. have gone thrilled while deliveries of this type of craft were made to North Atlantic Treaty na- tions. But Vandenberg said-"l couldn't go along with the implica- ton" there were many casualties in the Air Force because Of use of op- solescent airplanes.
 2. Senator Hunt suggested better finesse could have been used" in firing Macarthur, but got no reply from vandenberg.
 In his discussion of the U. $. Ar Force role in the present world sit uation, Vandenberg harked back to President Theodore Roosevelt's ad- vice regarding the United States: Walk softly, but carry big stick. Then vandenberg added;
 Tomorrow, if the Russian Air Force has the atomic bomb and the ability to deliver them, we have to have an Air Force that can take the attrition that would be necessary to destroy that Air Force, ana oes- troy it promptly; and after that' have a sufficient Air Force left to destroy the manufacturing potentlai of Russia, and to do what we call policing action after that, to insure that it was not rebuilt.

years with the survey, 20 have been spent at sea-12 of them in Alas kan waters His latest sea duty was as Commander of the survey ship Pathfinder directing survey opera tions in the Bristol Bay area of Alaska.
 As commander of the Pathfinder,
 Knox succeeded Rear Adm. Rob- ert Studds, present director of the survey.
 Kncx's Views ! Knox view that it would take an- other 100 years to complete the
 Alaska work was brought out in questioning hy Senator Magnuson lD-Wash. when Knox appeared be- fore the Senate Commerce Commit tee which. was considering his nom- ination. II NH ff Magnuson recalled difficulties of the Navy in World War II. One of his assignments as a naval off cer, he said, had been to find AL aska fishermen with sufficient knowledge of Alaskan waters to keep the Navy from running aground.
 Tn g. E. Alaska Knox agreed that chartings were "spotty.' Southeast Alaska waters,
 he said, are fairly well'' covered, but Bristol Bay and the Aleutians |are. only about half complete" Only reconnaissance surveys have been run in Prince Willim Sound.
 Farther north, except for work in connection with the Navy's oil op-
 erations at Barrow, the Arctic
 waters are virtually virgin area. The Bering Sea, he said, is the
 priority project now. Knox told a reporter later than many surveys
 made years ago have become ob- solete because of the size of present vessels.
 ''In those days a ship with a draft of 12 to l5 feet was a big ship he explained. Now they run to 2425 feet.'
 To illustrate the immensity of the Alaska operation, Knox pointed out that the territory has more
 miles of coastline than the Pacific and Atlantic coasts of the United States combined.
 He said chartings are proceeding
 at roughly 600 to 700 square miles year. Its faster, of course, out Tn the Bering Sea where water is deeper than it is in place like Bristol Bay" he added Tn the deeper
 water our soundings are farther { apart
 1. Knox was bcrn in Seattle Oct. 29, 1 1897, and was graduated from the University of Washington in 1923
 with Bachelor of Science degree :! in Civil Engineering. He also ser- | ved as technical advisor to King 1, County, Wash, aerial survey.

"A still earlier report, by Don

night that I anchored in the bay,
I*sent a small boat to the inlet for
water, but none was found. At
dusk, such a shrieking and din

Bermuda, like New Zealand, was

It was of course the East-West
part-score which brought South
into the auction, but even SO he
was risking huge penalty. This
was the bidding:
East South West North
Id 2CO Dbl. Pass
Pass Pass
East might well have started out
with one heart, so as to have a
comfortable rebid in diamonds, but
if he had, then West would not
even have hesitated over his open
ing lead. AS it was, West vac1llated
between a spade and heart lead,
and so there was at least a chance
for him to make the winning deci-
sion-the spade. Actually. however,
he led his top heart.
South took East's king with the
ace and, assuming correctly that
West was void of diamonds, led a
low trump In order to extract Easts
cards in the trump suit. South had
high hopes for a favorable spade
situation, and he did not want to
let East interrupt spade-cashing by
trumping in.
West put up the trump king on
the first lead of the suit, ana al
this point it would have been a
very good idea to shift to spades,
hut West persisted in hearts. De-
clarer captured this trick also; then
he held another high trump. Now
when West took the trick, he could
return only spade or club. It
was not at all difficult for declarer
to read that West had six spades
against East's mere doubleton in
the suit, and so there was a very
rood chance that West had the
spade queen. So South risked the
spade finesse, even though he had
a singleton, and by winning three
spades, three clubs and two hearts
he fulfilled a contract that would
have been set at least 500 points
If West had opened from his long
spade suit.
