Opening lead, nine of spades.
South OF today's hand is now
firmly convinced that time marches
on, for the split second which he
lost at trick one could not be re-
gained and resulted in the loss of
. crucial hand.
The bidding will pass muster.
East and South passed and West
had normal, shaded third-hand
bid. 1t is poor tactics to pass
hands of this type in third position.
The advantage of suggesting an
opening lead to partner, in the
likely event that North becomes
declarer, is too great to be passed
up. Despite Indifferent support for
the other major, North's takeout
double is proper. The hand is too
good for mere overcall, even
though vulnerable. East's bid of
one spade is not for the purpose
Of showing weakness" but is made
in the spirit of this is the only
chance I'll have to speak"
South, having IL points, a point
above an average hand, concluded
that his side had a splendid chance
for game, in view of partners
double, and so indicated it by
making jump in no trump.
North, in order to check up on the
nature Of partners response, and
to warn that his double was to a
certain extent distributional, bid
three diamonds, but South, with
all four suits stopped, proceeded to
three no-trump.
The nine of spades was opened
and South, with the idea of build
ing up second spade trick in al
hurry, played low from dummy.
This was his undoing. East won
with the king and returned the
nine OF hearts. Declarer covered
with the ten, West won with the
Jack and cleared the suit by con-
ceding one trick to the declarer.
In the forlorn hope that East held
the king of diamonds, declarer late
IN the play took the diamond
f1nesse for his ninth trick, but
failed.
It should have been clear to
South that he could not afford to |
lose trick early in the play-that
Is, before the diamond suit was
established. A second spade trick |
was Of little consequence, for de-
clarer had tricks to burn after
the diamond king was dislodged.
He should have lost no time 60
ing up with the ace of spades, |
which insures the contract against
all manner of bad weather. The
diamond f1nesse Is then taken and,
though 1t loses to West, the defense
can do no better than take four
tricks, and this, with the provisot
that they cash them In hurry.

A-BOmb Survival
(Anchorage News

anchorage News
With thought of being an alarrlist. but on the
other hand hardening back to 1941 when we held the
happen here attitude thought it might be
good idea to pass on for what they worth the
six Survival Secrets for Atomic Attack published
in the governments official bulletin Survival Under
Atomic Attack"
Are we at Anchorage a potential A-bomb target,
or are we lust to considered nuisance spot on the
long range attack plan by an enemy? That is the
crx of the question ceaselessly argued since things
got hot in the East No knows except possibly the
highest planners of defense at the Kremn, at Elm
endorf or the ultimate authorities at the Pentagon
lust what the chances of Anchorage being atom
bombed or bombed at ALL for that matter.
But the attitude of the military and of Civil De-
Tense people is that this time prepare for the
worst and if the worst does not come, so much the
better Thus the simple regulations for personal
Iefnse against the atom bomb would not be wasted
everyone in greater Anchorage would be prepared to
practice them.
OF course we all know by this time that if the
bomb expodes right there is no need to worry
about anything but careful analysis has shown that
at a distance of mile there is $3.50 chance Of
survival.
Then is when the survival precautions come in
handy Here are the six regulations for safety.
l. Try to get shielded. Get down in a basement
Should YOU be caught out of DOORS get to the side OF
building or flattened out in gutter or ditch
O. Drop flat To keep from being tossed about
bv the conclusion and to lessen chances OF peng MI
by flying objects faen out face down at baze OF wall
or in gutter ditch.
g. Bury your face in your arms. Hide your eyes
in the crook Of your elbow Don't look up to see what
you see.
q Don't rush outside. If conventional bombing,
wait few minutes until all concusssion waves nave
oassed. If atom bombing, wait at least one hour i
YOU are fortunate enough to be inside.
& Don't take chances with food in open con-
ainers after atom bombing. open new cans.
g. Don't start rumors. A single rumor IN the
Jost bombing confusion may be deadly
This is hard to do, the bulletin says, but should
you be in an A-bomb raid and are able TO see the
flash Won have split second to take precaution NO.
The temptation will be great to turn and stare, but
1 NAV be the stare of death if you do.

pulling American troops out toe

Macarthur replied that "occupa :
lions are failures" that the execu-
ton of war prisoners is foolish. '
and it would be best to leave Korea
in the hands of Koreans.
Although Truman remained Resi-
tant. he never gave Macarthur
direct orders not to march to the
border. A stronger President. such
as Franklin Roosevelt, probably
would have argued Macarthur
down. A stronger military adviser
to the President might have done
likewise. Time and again Churchill
and Roosevelt, comforting with the
generals, dominated military decis-
ions in the last war. And although
never published, it was astute Adm.
Chester Nimitz, commander OF the
fleet in the Pacific, who managed to
reverse MacArthur's plan to stage
the first Philippine landing not
at Mindanao-where the Japs were
prepared-but in the Cult of Leyte.
At Wake Island, however, Mac
Arthur was in the flush of victory
following his Inchon landing
landing which Gen. Omar Bradley
did not think he could pull off.
Therefore ne was hard to argue
down, and when the Wake Island
conference broke up the final de-
cision was left to him. At no time,
incidentally, did Macarthur ever
violate orders-partly because none
were given him.

A GOOD PROMISE

The Indianapolis Star makes point not generally
enough appreciated: No nation including Russia, ever
has voted itself into Communism!
The Communists seized control of Russia by revo-
lutionary means amidst the debace of the Czarist
regime. They may have gone through the pretense
of elections that time but have the people
of Russia been given a free choice of Communism or
some other way of life For that matter, never have
they given free choice of officials to administer
communstic government.
All the other nations that have been forced into
the Soviet hegemony Latvia, Lithuana, Estonla
Bulgaria Romania, Czechoslovakia Hungary, Alba
mia and Chna-every has been subjugated by
force of arms rather than by free choice of the
governed peoplesl Yet the Communists have the gall
to scream shrilly for civil rights, and to demand
democracy" beyond the shadow of their aggression
Aside from the ironic implications, though, there
remains the question of what to do about it. Begin
ming with unassalable major premise, the Indian
apois Star proceeds to a questionable conclusion
that Russia and her satellites do not belong in the
United Nations and should be elected aggressors
We say questionable" advisedly because the
only real reason for maintaining the all-lnclusive
framework of the United Nations is to maintain some
possible avenue for the adjudication OF our inter-
national differences. Were Russia and her satellites
expelled from the UN, the organization Immediately
would devolve into an ant-Soviet entente Straight

SO long the Communist dominated states maintain
even nominal membership in the UN, the whole
world family of nations belong in good faith,
and give the weight of world law to the efforts to
restrain Russian Imperialism.

Errors of Command

There was a good reason why |
used paraphrased official cables
from Macarthur. If I had not, Sen
ator Mccarthy would have accused
me of permitting the deciphering OF
coded messages. this the Secretary
of the Army denied.
Mccarthy also implied that had
given secrets to the enemy. This
was absurd on the face OF 1T. The
column in question dealt with
Chinese military strength, and the
Chinese obviously knew their own
strength. Furthermore, it was pub
lished on Dec. 80, one month after
the 9th Army's tragic retreat, and
facts published after battle don't
give much help to the enemy.
However, after battle, the peo-
pie whose sons are lost and whose
country is injured are entitled 10
know the reasons for defeat. The
reasons in this case were errors
in command. They were not the
fault of the troops on the field
of battle.
The reasons for this particular
defeat began at Wake Island, and
go back in part to two factors
a brilliant, strong minded general
who knew exactly what he wanted,
and a President not versed in mill
tary strategy who, as a former
National Guard Artillery Captain,
was dazzled by braid and brass.

British Protest

The British, at about this time,
registered several warnings against
going close to the Manchurian
border; while the French Ambas-
sador, Henri Bonnet, on direct in
struotions from his government.
warned the State Department that
UN troops were sure to get into
trouble if they famed out along
700 miles of the Chinese border.
However, the State Department,
already harasSed at being called
pro- Communist, made only indif-
ferent attempts to hold back this
daring military drive. Once it pull
ed General Bradley back from a
hunting trip in Connecticut to
have him urge Macarthur to issue
a statement advising the Chinese
that we would not bother their big
dams and power plants on the
Yalu River. But Macarthur cabled
back blunt: do not concur"
On another occasion, the State
Department tried to work out q
British plan whereby we would
halt UN troops about 40 miles from
the Chinese border. Again, how
ever, no direct orders were ever
given to Macarthur on this only
suggestions.
Meanwhile the State Depart
ment, nervous as a cat, kept tile
wires hot to Prime Minister Nehru
in India, and through him to his
ambassador in Peiping, trying TO
placate the Chinese Communists
and keep Macs army out Of Korea.

time, Mao tse-Tung was blunt and

The Big Risk

At Wake Island, General Mac
Arthur proposed exactly what he
later executed-a lightning dash
by American troops up to the
Manchurian border, pause on the
border only long enough to SYM
bolize victory, then march home by
Christmas.
III talking to Truman, Macarthur
even used the words home by
Christmas" He admitted that the
Chinese might be provoked into
attack. But he predicted they would
not cross the Yalu river in force
and confidently added that, if they
did, he could take care Of them
Macarthur also argued that the
severe Korean winter, and taat
the South Korean army would be
strong enough TO protect its home
land without a large UN army.
President Truman was hesltant.
