Contract Bridge

Average players can take comfort
from the fact that leading experts

Pass Pass 2clubs 2spades
3 clubs Pass clubs Pass

Remarkably enough, only couple
of Vests had the imagination to lay
down ace and another spade, giving
their partners an immediate ruff.
Most of the Vests opened the top
heart and all of the Souths
prompt did for the opponents what
the opponents had not done for
themselves! In short, these de-
clarers led trump from dummy at
the second trick. Every East put UP
the club ace and returned the sim
gleton spade, and the spade ruff
defeated the contract.
1t is perfectly evident that none
of these declarers even considered
the possibility that West might have
an eight-card spade suit, but exactly
why they should have ignored this
danger is hard to explain. Certainly,
with the cards in sight, they should
have been rather surprised at hay-I
ing been doubled at clubs! Thus.
quite aside from Vests rebid Of
spades, they might have realized
that East must have some good rea-
son for his double, and that reason
could scarcely be anything but a.
singleton spade. A sound East would
not have doubled on diamond
strength, because, with South dou-
bling one heart and later bidding
clubs, he would be marked very
short in the diamond suit.
Thus, it would have been far
shrewder for the declarers to resist
the natural impulse to lead trumps
and. instead, to cash the diamond
ace and ruff diamond for entry to
the closed hand. Then it could cost
nothing to lay down the heart ace
and discard spade from dummy!

u. 5. Forces Parade
in Huge Display Of
Might in Germany
BY the Associated Press

FRANKFURT, Germany, May
19.-American forces facing the
Iron Curtain put on the greatest
display since World War
II in Germany today.
Soldiers. sailors and airmen
paraded in a dozen German cities
to show their combat readiness
and celebrate the second annual
American Armed Forces Day"
An estimated 100000 Germans
turned out to watch the military
parades and to inspect displays of
aircraft and equipment.
German officials sat side by side
with United States Army and high
commission leaders in the review
ing stands for the big parades.
The biggest celebrations were
staged in Berlin, Augsburg. Brem-
erhaven, Frankfurt, Heidelberg,
Munich, Nuremberg and Stuttgart.
In Berlin nearly 100000 Ger
mans swarmed over big Tempelhof
Airbase to see the Army and Air
Force put on a display of weapons
and equipment, including tanks.
About 1000 men-virtually the
entire United States strength in
Berlin-paraded before United
States High Commissioner John j..
McCloy. Gen. Thomas T. Handy,
commander of all United States
forces in Germany, and 1t. Gen
|Lauris Norstad. Air Force chief
here.
In Nuremberg $4,000 persons
lined the streets to see a parade
Iof 1900 troops with tanks. More
than 80 jet planes flew over the
parade.
In Frankfurt Army and Air
Force units marched through the
main streets in a parade lasting
over an hour, while troop carrier
Iplanes and jet fighters flew in
formation over the city.
Solid lines of curious Germans
lined the Smile parade route as
heavy tanks, towed artillery, am
Imunition carriers, assault boats
and tank retrievers rolled by.

added:

In addition to blaming Govern
ment and industrial competition
for shortages of graduate nurses,
hospital officials say they have a
continual replacement problem
because Of the migratory habits
of nurses.
Intensified by Defense.
Although hospital officials blame
the Government for much of their
nursing problems, 1t is to the Gov
ernment that many look for the
only possible relief.
The American Hospital Associa-
ton, which has been waging an
intensive advertising campaign for
nurse recruits. has approved the
principle behind two bills now
before Congress that would pay
the costs of a student nurse s
training. Sponsored by Represent
ative Bolton. Republican, of Ohio,
and Senator Murray. Democrat,
of Montana. the measures would,
in effect. provide scholarships for
girls seeking a nursing career.
Some hospital officials even
suggest the Government pay the
trainee a small salary to provide
some income to counteract the
lure Of immediate salaries in pri-
vate industry.
Mr.. Capossela said he saw no
other solution to the recruitment
problem.
We've tried to interest high
school graduates without much
success" he said. Maybe the
Government can. through a pro-
gram something like the Cadet
Corps Of World War II. We want

the Nation was convinced that

Editors note: In explanation
of the Thursday press confer
ence remarks. the White House
yesterday. issued a statement
declaring that Mr.. Truman first
considered firing Gen. Mac
Arthur last August, after the
outbreak of the Korean war;.
Mr.. Truman did not disclose
his reasons for wanting to re-
move his representative in
Japan. Nor did he disclose
what the January Armistics
proposals to the Reds, prepared
by the State Department. con-
tanned. He accused Gen. Mac
Arthur of jumping the gun by
addressing himself directly to
the Communist field COM
mander and demanding a sur
render and nobody rebuked
him.
The Senate committee will
attempt to probe into this mat
ter in the near future, when
Secretary of State Acheson ap-
pears as a witness. Most Sena-
tors suspect-although until all
the facts are known there is no
formal basis for their suspicion
that the terms Mr.. Truman
and his political advisers pre-
pared were of an extremely ap-
peasing nature. It must be re-
membered that none Of the
Chief Executives top advisers
have the slightest knowledge or
experience with ASiaticS and the
Asian mentality.
According to General Mat
thew B. Ridgway, there are
nearly a million and a quarter
Communists available in Korea
and Manchuria for action
against the U. N. Our forces
are far inferior in numbers and
have only an extremely meager
replacement potential. The few

pro-consul. But these were con-
sidered mere gossip, put out by
persons who exaggerated the
subversive influences in our gov
ernment.
The fact that Mr.. Truman
without hesitation appointed
Gen. Macarthur United Nations
commander in chief in Korea
seemed to belle the rumors that
interested parties" had been
trying to undermine the conf
dence Of the President in Amer
ica's top representative in the
Pacific.
1t is true that the Command
er in Chief had just about de-
cided to replace the five-star
general last August. when
things were not going well for us
in Korea. The following para
graph appeared in this column
on September 27, soon after the
victorious mchon operation:
Insofar as Gen. Macarthur
himself is concerned, the over
whelming success of his gamble
means a good deal. There was
a strong current in high quar-
ters in Washington-not in the
Pentagon, however-to replace
him as effective commander of
the field forces with younger
man. The name of Gen. Van
Fleet was most prominently
mentioned until two weeks ago
-. Gen. Macarthur would be-
come merely a top administra-
tive officer, with headquarters
in Tokyo"
This information had reached
this reporter from an unim-
peachable source early in Au-
gust. but was not divulged at
that time because of a pledge
given to wait for official an
nouncement. 1t was published
September 81 for its historical
interest.

Korean War Won't Be Decisive
Eruption in Iran Over Oil Could Be Far More Serious
Than Anything Now Happening in Far Eost

While we have a quarter mil
lion men in Korea, and reck-
lessly reveal in Washington
every detail of our foreign policy,
another spot is erupting which
may have far more serious con-
sequences than anything in the
Far East. That is Iran. It has
a frontier with the Soviets and
a treaty which permits Russia
to send troops if any foreign
power intervenes with armed
force there, or should desire to
use Iranian territory as a base
OF operations against Russia.
Since the beginning of the CEN
tury the Anglo-Iranian Oil Co.
has developed, in Southern Iran,
one of the worlds greatest oil in
dustries. British engineers were
originally heartily welcomed
indeed induced-into the opera
ton. The British discovered the
oil and built up, over half a CEN
tury, a half-billion-dollar in
vestment. The oils market lies
in Europe. 1t cannot, for physi-
cal reasons, be pipelined to Rus
sia. Therefore the short range
Russian interest is not to get the
oil for herself, but to withhold
it from the British navy and
Western Europe, and eventually
realize the ancient Russian
dream of access to warm water
the Persian Gulf.
The means by which this may
be achieved is not Russian
armed aggression, but social
overturn. which began with an
unexpected unanimous parlia-
mentary vote to nationalize and
i appropriate the industry. It
cannot be proved that Commun-
lists initiated the move. But

the result has been savage out
bursts of violence. reducing
South Iran to a mounting con-
dition of anarchy.
If the government cannot
itself restore order at the OIL
fields (and the Premier has
barricaded himself in the Par
lament, declaring his life is in
danger from dark forces"
whom he hints to be the Brit
ish oil eompany-no indica-
ton of his power Of authority,
the situation can get entirely
out of hand, providing the op-
portunity for the most coher-

On the other hand. If the

being conSidered) even for the
strictly limited purpose Of pro-
tecting the fields and refineries
until the legal issue is settled,
the U. S. S. r. might invoke
the treaty and send in troops.
That might, indeed, touch
off World War III, under the
worst possible conditions for
invoking the U. N. against an
aggressor. and in the Middle
East, an area of the utmost
instability.
In case of war in this area,
Russia would not only have
the strategical advantage of her
nearby industrial base, but
would lead from a politically
secure base, while the Allies
would be surrounded west of
Iran by latent anarchy, in states
divided among themselves, six
of them still officially at uar
