My sincerest wish at the moment is
that the member of the press who said
that he felt like Little GI'' should be
allowed to become one. no matter what
his age. In fact. it might do us all good
to know what it feels like to be a CT

ITO cross the Rubicon"?-M c. r.
A. When Caesar. after having been
ordered by the senate to disband his
army. refused to do so and crossed the
Rubicon River into Italy. his fate hung
in the balance. He would either tri.

Thus to take an irrevocable step is re-
ferred to as crossing the Rubicon."

columnists Criticized

Doris Fleeson's plethora Of emotional
adjectiveS relative to the Presidents
press conference, plus her diatribe
against q truly great man with the
problems of the world on his shoulders,
is an unwarranted backhand slap In the
face to the fine reputation the press
corps enjoys for objective and honest
reporting.
Her caterwauling complaint against
spending an extra hour to see the PreSi-
ident is a direct insult to the citizen
who, during Inauguration, waited from
dawn to dusk merely for g glimpse, not
an interview. It is difficult to believe
that Miss Fleeson speaks for the press
in mentioning the hair shirt reporters
must wear.
After The Stars first editorial on the
Presidents press conference, the Flee
son column was an incredible affront
to the credulity Of this reader and
subscriber.
Don d'AcOsta.
I have just read the article on tide
land oils, in The Star for February 10
by your Thomas L. Stokes, and am
completely out of accord with its
contents. In the opening of the article,
he refers to the committees of the
House and Senate as being under way
to Surrender to the States the wal
liable" offshore oil lands.
But how could the Federal Govern
ment surrender to the States property
erty had always belonged to the States,
out there was a possibility Of oil exist
ing there, and then they declared 1t
owner.
AS for Mr.. Stokes adjective wal
uable," used to describe these lands,
why did he prefer to omit the fact that
in but one Of the four States. namely,
Louisiana, was oil discovered in such
quantity as to afford profit?
Then, Mr.. Stokes continues with q
comment on the courage" of Adlai
Stevenson's stand on Federal owner
ship Of the tidelands oil fields. There
are two ways to view this, political and
moral. strongly challenge him to
prove there was any political wisdom to
such stand. AS for the moral argyll
ment, no one know has yet to praise
Stains seizure of the countries Of
eastern Europe, nor should there be any

lands from the States.
p. A. r..
The David Lawrence column in your
paper of February 10 on Governor
Stevenson'S New York address was the
most incredible bit Of bigoted writing
which it has been my unfortunate lot
to read in many months.
Apparently Mr.. Lawrence feels that
no one must criticize the Administra-
tion-and especially not with sense Of
humor.
This from the same reporter who
spent years with his little Ratchet and
spade trying Intellectually to cut the
ground out from under Harry S. Tru-
man!
We seem to be fast reaching the
state in which the only valid criticism
of national affairs can be made by
Republicans. If the Democrats engage

propaganda mills.

Press Conference Footnote
On February 10 we read The Star
editorial and columnist's review of
the Presidents conference with re-
porters. But. on the same day. we
heard, over a TV network, the state
ment Of reporter that spilled the
beans for the average citizen. This
man wanted to revert to the "time-
honored" custom of putting the Presi-
dent on the spot"
But that is exactly what many people,
whether radio listeners or televiSion
viewers, or merely readers of news
papers, do not desire.
What the public desires, in fact, is
information concerning our officials,
their plans and their purposes.
Wouldn't it be advisable for CORE
spondents and reporters to try to seek
information for the people rather than
to put somebody on the spot?

After only one round Of bid
ding, a player like Mr.. Masters
usually knows which side has the

ability which Mr.. Muzzy does not

cases, the end is bitter indeed.

The bidding:

This refusal to let the oppo-
nents play a harmless under
game contract is a common
error and. it is hard to under
stand. When there are defii-
mite clues that the enemy has
the edge in high cards, what
can be gained by continuing the
auction?
In today's deal Mr.. Muzzy had
q fine hand. However, his part
ner had shown no indication Of
strength while both Of his op-
ponentS had.
Did he think there was game
In the East-West cards? OF
course, a hand could be con-
structed where that would be
possible. But certainly the odds
were overwhelmingly against it.
Was he trying to force his
opponents one notch higher
where, it may be assumed, he
thought he could set them
trick? That would net him
paltry 100 points-or 200 points
If he made a highly speculative
and dangerous double and some
how was able to win five tricks.
AS the bidding actually went,
Miss Brash dropped the bidding
at two spades. But Mr.. Muzzy
wasn't satisfied. He doubled
again. He should have played
the players a little better and
considered the opponent on his
left.
Mr.. Meek can almost always
be figured for more than his
bidding has indicated. He had
more this time. He bid three
spades. And although he paled
q bit when Miss Brash took
shot at four, he lived to thank
her for it.
Mr.. Muzzy opened the king Of
hearts and Miss Brash had no
difficulty wrapping up ten tricks.
She simply caShed her two red
aces and cross-ruffed the two
red suits. giving up only three
club thicks at the end.
