ranch family desiring those services.
He called for development of low-cost

Q. How Is lie Galhenne pro-

ing?-A. B.
A. OF itself, LIE Gallienne means
nothing; it is just a name of
French origin. Webster's Gazetteer
accents the gal" syllable, as: Luh
GAL-i-en, but Richard LIE Gal
lienne, English poet and critic, ia
nous father of the famous Ameri-
can actress, Eva, disliked that pro-
nunciation, and said that "the pro-
unuciation as if the name were
'galleon' is wrong" The major stress
should be placed on the last syl-
liable: Luh gal-ee-ENN.
@. What is the character &

defensive winners. Take such a
case as the following for example
Neither East nor West had any

y of four spades: yet. when East did

mistic as might be thought from an
appraisal of his holding.

This was the bidding in a high
stake game at New York's leading
bridge club:
North East South West
diamond Pass spade Pass
2spade Pass 3spade Pass
4 spade Dbl Pass Pass
Pass
There was very little to the play
West made the good opening of
diamond, and the defenders COL
lected total of five tricks without
difflculty-two diamonds, two spades
and the heart king
1t goes without saying that East
was gambling when he doubled four
spades, but it was the very fact that
he was void in trumps which put
considerable logic in this action.
True, even aside from the trump
suit, East's holding was not par
tlcularly impressive, but East felt,
with reason, that the opponent S
bidding had not been impressive,
either North had not jumped to
three spades on the second round:
nor had South jumped to four
spades over his partners single
raise. Thus, it was perfectly obvi-
GUS that the opponents themselves
were probing" with neither of
them able to go ahead under full
steam, and so it was almost a fore
gone conclusion that West would
turn up with spade strength as well
as length.
Observe that. whatever can be
said for or against East's double, it
was out of the question for West to
take this action, although it was he
who had the trumps.

BOOK REVIEW

This new book, "The Negro in
American Business" by Robert
Kinzer and Edward Sagarin, illus
trates a newer and more progress
i've attitude toward the Negro in
business than many other books
and articles on this topic.
Probably one of the most inter-
esting facts pointed out by this
volume is that Negro business
probably could survive and make
good even if there were no segre-
gated pattern in the United States.
The authors also considers bus
mess as being tied up with the
Negroes future in this country. If
business and investment can ex-
pand, the race can improve. as an
example the book noted the build
ing of a housing project by an in
surance company in the south.
Probably the most controversial
factor in Negro business, accord
ing to this book, is that Of jim
crow. On n hand segregation
limits the market for most Negro
enterprise, and on the other hand
it conceivably offers the "only"
outlet for Negro investment.
The authors did comment, how
ever, that Negro farmers in open
competition with whites on the
open market have done all right
for themselves.
On one point, however, the
Writer'S may have erred = that of
blaming Booker T. Washington for
the so-called desire of a "black
economy" that is self-sufficient.
Abram L. Harris, Negro profess
sor of economics at the Univer-
sity and one Of the nations top
authorities on Negro business, re-
Gently wrote on this point:

good, not all bad. Uniformed and
barbershop generals waited with
crossed fingers the outcome of an
allied patrols advance to within
10 miles of the Korean city of
Seoul, hoping the Chinese Reds
have not lured United Nations
forces into a trap. Big guns from
U. S. Naval ships fired away at
the port of Inchon, but the War
Department was careful to an
nounce that this does not pre-
suppose another allied landing
similar to the amphibious occupa-
ton of Seoul which drove the Reds
out of the South Korean capital
which they have since recaptured
with the help of Chinese.
UN delepates, reluctant to
brand the Chinese as agressors,
seized upon the two-day lull in the
fighting as a hopeful sign hat the
Chinese, who have scoffed at all
offers to negotiate a settlement
Of the conflict, are now ready to
talk peace. Indeed, India's Sir
Bengal Rau "hinted" that the lull
could have been caused by Chin
csc leaders as a means of easing
truce negotiations. The more
cautious delegates have adopted a
wait-and-see policy.
WITH THE UNLIMITED United
Nations split over the question of
branding the Chineses as aggres-
sors, President Truman last night
personally pinned the aggressor
tag on the Pieping government,
assuring the world that United
States as a whole takes the same
stand. Since the House and Senate
have already memorialized the
United Nations to take just such
a step the President, for once in
the last two years, has taken a
stand that will not be challenged
by a billigerant congress.
But although there is assurance
that the American people r be.
hind the President on the Chinese
aggression stand, peace and har'
mony do not reign in the nations
