STARRING JAS. MALONEY

The Robin Hood Theatre at Ard
en-, Delaware, goes into its fourth
week of summer production Mon

loney. Currently, Mr.. Maloney is
appearing in the title role of the
cheerful Pennsylvania Dutch COM
edy, Papa Is ALP, which is being
presented nightly at $50 through
Saturday. George and Margaret"
lives up to the reputation of cur
rent English humor for aniability
and complete charm. 1t revolves
around crazy but comfortable
family of five-the mother, pleas
antly domineering; the father, SUBJ
timely absent-minded; the daugh-
ter, slightly boy-crazy, and the two
sons, one poetic and the other pro-
sale. AS the curtain rises, clouds
gather over the family breakfast
table as the announcement is made
that George and Margaret-two
dreaded guests-are due to arrive
for lunch. From then on, the sit
uation takes a circuitous route
with laughter at every twist and
turn. Mr.. Maloney, cast as the
fathel, has had busy winter on
television with featured roles on
Martin Kane, The Armstrong Cir
Gle Theatre, Robert Montgomery
Presents, Captain Video, Man
Against Crime, and many others.
He also went to Hollywood to re-
peat his Broadway Detective

Pronunciation Clinic.

@. My small soon has been in

say "DIK-sh'n-ree" for the wore
dictionary. I don't like it; it makes
him sound like a stuck-up little
prig. What do you say?-Mrs. o. M
A. T agree with you heartily.
While I feel sure that the boys
teacher believes she is using the
correct pronunciation, she is, ir
reality, teaching a criticism that Is
as out of place In American speech
as a monocle would be on a Dodgers
first baseman.
Such vocal fancy work as DIX
sh'n-ree" for dictionary, "SEK-ruh-
tree" for secretary, "MILL-i-tree'
for military, "ORD-in-ree" TO,
ordinary, etc., is a decided stoplight
of speech, switching attention from
what is being said to how it is
being said.
In the traditionally correct
pronunciation of such words, the
third syllable receives a secondary
accent, thus:
DIX h'n-EHR-e
SEK'ruh- -TEHR-ee
MILLi-TEHR-e
OR'd'n-EHR-ee

telescoped pronunciations really are,

Opening lead, three of spades.
1t is fortunate for contract bridge
that guesswork cannot be COM
pletely eliminated from the contest,
else the game might become much
too methodical and as conse-
quence lose a great deal Of its charm.
Days when guesseS are all working
provide thrills known only to the
outdoor men when fish are biting
and puts are sinking.
However, when one is faced with
what appears to be an out-and-out
guess, sometimes delving into the
mental processes of ones adver-
sary may provide something In the
nature of clue.
The bidding is open to some ques-
ton. The first round of the auc-
ton was model in character. South's
immediate Jump shift is surely the
proper call on a hand that is a
moral certainty for slam. Some
question may be raised as to the
propriety of Norths rebid. There
are those who will argue that North,
when he learns that partner is
violently slam minded, should make
every effort to slow him up, and
that he should not make any bid
too early in the auction which
might give South some further in
ducement to make heavy commit
ment. The suggested call, is there
fore, q rebid of three clubs. There
may be some merit to this con-
tention, but on the card Of this
observer no demerit was charged
against North for the two-spade
bid.
When North showed the spades, |
South became convinced that North |
could take care of all four of his
losers and contracted for grand |
slam.
Had West chosen to open trump, |
there would have been no play for
the hand, but he elected to lead
the three of spades, which was
won in dummy. Declarer, there
upon, was faced with the guess as
to which finesse to take. He could
discard the three hearts and try
the club f1nesse or discard the losing
club and two hearts and try the
heart finesse. On straight per-
centages, there appeared nothing to
favor one play over the other. De-
clarer's eventual decision to take
the club finesse was based on q
human factor.
Clubs, diamonds and spades had
been bid, so that the logical lead
by West would have been the un-
bid suit, hearts, unless West had
some reason to fear that lead. What
reason could he have to fear hearts
If he did not have the king? On
this line of reasoning declarer took
the club f1nesse with gratifying re-
suits.

Daily Worker Pleads
For More Circulation
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Jan. 19.-The
Daily Worker, Communist Party
organ. called on it's readers today
to help boost it's circulation, which
it said had fallen to a point where
the existence of the paper is
definitely menaced."
In a front-page editorial ITO
All Our Readers" the Daily
Worker said:
THE total circulation of the
Daily Worker is now below $4,000;
the Sunday Worker is below so 900,
with $4,000 subscription expira-
tions falling due within the next
few months.
This drastic drop is in no sense
the result of the peoples opposi-
ton to our message of peace. It
is the result solely of two factors:
"The systematic persecution of
the paper and its readers for the
past few years.
"The. neglect of the papers
readers and friends to fight for
the retention of its circulation and
for its extension among the hun
dreds of thousands of Americans
who are ready right now to well
come it into their shops and
homes"
The editorial said, Threats are
being made every day to news
dealers who carry the paper"

The Federal Reserve Board to-

that the board rescind its order
making it necessary to complete

buying a car.
Fred L. Haller of Washington,

purchase of the lowest priced
American car requires monthly
payments of $85 to $50.
THE only new car an American
man can afford to pur-
chase on installment terms is q
foreign-made car" he said. One
car of foreign make can be bought
for around $55 monthly, he said.
The dealers asked the board to
revert to it's September 18 order
which gave purchaser 81 months
to pay.
Mr.. Haller said the more strin-
gent terms are tending to increase
