Mr.. Dale won with the ace,
cashed the ace and king of dia-
monds and led heart. There
was no way for Mr.. Champion
to prevent the jack of hearts
from becoming an entry to the
board. Thus, Mr.. Dale was able
to reach dummy's diamonds and
make an easy game.
Mr.. Muzzy's excuse for not
playing the nine of hearts at
trick one was that he did not
want to f1nesSe against his part
ner. In this situation he would
not have been f1neSsing against
partner, but against the dummy.
Actually, he had two good rea-
sons for playing the nine of
hearts instead of the queen. First,
to prevent Mr.. Dale from making
two heart tricks and, second. to
shut out the dummy in case Mr..
Dale could not reach the dummy
in the diamond suit itself.
Using the rule of II. Mr. Muzzy
should have known Mr.. Dale held
only one heart higher than the
seven spot. Surely that one
card was either the ace or the
king, else where did Mr.. Dale |
get his jump to three no-trump? |
To put it another way, Mr..
Dale was going to win one heart |
trick no matter what Mr.. Muzzy
Gid. The play of the nine at |
trick one would preserve the
queen so that dummy's jack |
would never be a winner.
AS it was, Mr.. Dale made five |
diamond tricks and two heart |
tricks. He would have made |
two diamonds and one heart if |
Mr.. MuzZy had made the right |
play at trick one.
AS usual, Mr.. Muzzy was hard |
to convince. IF you don't call |
this case of finessing against |
partner, what do you call it?"
Mr.. Champions reply was
brief. Il call it stupid" he said. |

The task of wiping out the

Der of family was undertaken

DR.. Leonardo Monni.
The doctor talked to each

would lead to race suicide. He
reminded these, proud stiletto-
carrying people that 16 persons
were murdered here in the wan

chain of vengeance is broken. he
said, 80 more citizens would wind
up in their graves this year.
DR.. Monni convinced the
heads of so of Orgosolo's most
influential families. They formed
a peace committee that went into
the mountains to win over thS
highlanders.
On January 8 men from the
hills and their women folk
marched into Orgosolo. All alike

ment attacking President Tru-
man.
President Truman has again
publicly attacked me. this time
with the fantastic and wholly
unwarranted charge that in some
strange way, although retired
from active service for nearly
two years. I bear some resroE-
s:bility for current desertions
from the armed forces. If such
desertions are indeed excessive,
despite the recent denials by the
Defense Department, they can
more realistically be ascribed to
a lack Of faith in President Tru-
mans policies of appeasement
which forbade victory to our
forces committed to battle in
Korea when such victory was
easily within their grasp. 20
months ago and to the growing
fear that such policies will in
evitably plunge us into another

great journals together with
others not specifically mentioned
by him have not hesitated fear
lessly to discuss and criticize
public policy and to resist the
paipable efforts now being made
to prevaricate history.
THE President has at differ
ent times given new and wholly
unrelated reasons seeking justi-
f1cation for his savage methods
employed in my relief from COM
mand In the Far East. He now
for the first time attributes
such action to q failure to obey
orders despite the fact that
such a charge IS completely
untrue as shownssby the testi-
mony given before the congress
sional inquiry following my re-
turn.
His Querulous complaint OF
insubordination because ] did
not call upon him following my
return is puerile. In view of the
circumstances attending my re-
lief. His implication that ! sought
political Office following my
retirement from active assign
ment has no basis whatsoever in
fact. It Is difficult for me to
conceal my indignation at his
constant. unfounded and indeed
venomouS personal attacks and
even more difficult for me ade-
quately to reply in my own de-
tense in view Of the veneration I
feel for the high Office of Presi-
dent Of the United States which
he still continues to occupy.
THE impropriety of Presi-
dent making such personal at
tacks upon an officer still sub
ject to his recall at will to active
service under him is self evident.
Mr.. Truman's obvious spleen
against me. given mounting ex-
preston since the election, is
undoubtedly political. not mill
tary. It arises in my opinion from
his realization that his unjust
and arbitrary actions connected
with my relief and related Incl
dents. coupled with the bank
ruptcy Of his, policies in the Far
East. played a large part in his
overwhelming reputation by the
American people at the polls.
Perhaps too, he is animated by
pique at the President-elect's
interest in ascertaining my views

Mc6ranerY Reported
Against Merger Of
Paramount and ABC
BY the Asseeioted Press


Attorney General McGranery
was reported yesterday to have
filed a vigorous but somewhat
belated objection to a proposed
merger Of United Paramount
Theatres, Inc. and American
Broadcasting Co. properties.
The Attorney General was not
available for comment. and his
top aides declined to discuss the
matter.
Similarly, FEC sources were
reluctant to. discuss the matter in
the absence Of any statement by
MIR. McGranery himself.
However. it was reported that
the Attorney General. acting on
the advice Of anti-trust division
assistants. had advised the FEC
that he is opposed to the pro-
jected consolidation of United
Paramount's 900 local motion
picture theaters with the coast
forecast standard radio. FM and
Tv outlets Of ABC.
Government sources reported
that Mr.. McGranery's protest
had been answered by an FEC
reminder that the proposed con-
solidation had been in hearing
status for about a year and a
half, during which time the JUS
tice Department had not inter
vened. Under thes Administra-
tive Procedures Act, which
guides FEC actions the case was
formally closed axleek ago when
the full commission heard Anal
arguments on the proposed mer-
ger after months Of hearings.
In those arguments. the prin-
cipal opposition was presented
by FCC's own broadcast bureau.
which handles hroadcasting IL
censes. These experts contended
that any approval of the pro-
posed merger would open the
way for motion picture interests
to take over in the television
field. The Justice Department
made no appearance.
An FEC examiner recon-
mended several months ago that
the consolidation be approved.
in the interest Of better radio
and TV programming.
