Mr.. Dale had fair values but
he elected not to risk coming
into the bidding. vulnerable.
Mrs. Keen could have bid her
hand a little better although.
in this case, the same final con-
tract would have been reached.
There's some danger in jumping
to three of your partners ma
jor suit without any honor in
that suit. Mrs. Keen felt she
made up for this deficiency by
her good high-card holdings in
the other suits. However, she
might have temporized with a
bid of two hearts on the first
round and then jumped to four
spades after Mr.. Abels minimum
rebid of two spades.
The king of clubs was led and
Mr.. Abel won with the ace.
He cashed the ace of spades
and was shocked to see Mr..
Dale discard the deuce of clubs.
Now he had two sure trump
losers plus a loser in both dia-
monds and clubs. AS he saw
1t the only chance was to find
one opponent with the queen
Jack of diamonds doubleton.
This was not the case. however.
and the contract was down one.
Mr.. Abel had a better chance
than the one he gave himself.
That was to take tricks with his
small spades rather than to have
them fall helplessly under Mr..
Champions queen and jack.
At trick three he should have
led a club. Mr.. Dale would win
with the queen and would have
no better return than a diamond.
This could be won with dummy's
ace. Now he could cash the ace
of hearts and ruff a heart, ruff
his last club on the board and
ruff another heart in his hand.
He could then lead a diamond to
the king and ruff dummy's last
heart.
At this point he would have
nine tricks home and the king
of trumps would furnish the
10th one. At the end Mr.. Cham
pion would have the irritating
Job of ruffing his partners good

Some mistakes in English are
downright infectious. To my
mind, the most deadly of these
common errors is the use of adj
verbs in constructions that
plainly call for adjectives.
Rule: The word following the
verb should be an adjective if it
describes the subject. If 1t modi-
f1es the action of the verb, it
should be an adverb.
We have explained previously
that badly" is not an adjec-
tive; it is an adverb, and. as
such. must modify ar describe
the action of the verb. Therefore.
one who feels badly" has a de-
fective touch, as from paralysis.
However, the misuse of the adj
verb safely" for the adjective
''safe" is so common that the
correct usage Ii more difhcult
to explain.

Witnesses Say Romonion Ran

Police Are Probing
Mystery Involving
LEGATION Chuuffevr

Police today were trying to
determine why a Romanian Le-
CATION chauffeur jumped from
one train near Union Station to
be killed by running into the
path of another several tracks
away.
Homicide Squad Capt. Richard
Felber questioned witnesses for
long hours last night at police
headquarters. Later. he told re-
porters, There is something
funny here"
Newest development was the
determination by police that the
chauffeur, lie Dulgheru, 81, had
run across several tracks to his
death. Earlier. it was believed he
had jumped from one train and
rolled into the path Of another.
Ran Across Tracks.
He jumped from New York
bound train yesterday and was
killed by Washington bound
Chicago train.
The investigation was sharp
ened by a report received last
night from Washington Terminal
police.
The terminal police said they
had reports from eyewitnesses
who said they saw the man run
ming across the tracks after his
leap. Further investigation
showed that the Chicago train
that hit him was running on

Voted by Senate
$l75,00O Added to
Finish PIons; Bill
Goes to Conference

The Senate yesterday okayed
an outlay Of Federal funds OF
$500.O00 to start construction OF
the long delayed flood relief pro-
ject at the Bladensburg Peace
Cross area in Prince Georges
County.
This was approved without
contest by the Senate as it passed
its version of the Army civil
functions appropriation bill.
The measure now goes back to
conference with the House to
iron out differences in funds
granted in the House bill. In
addition to the construction
fund, the Senate also added to
the bill a Federal fund of $175,-
600 to complete the planning for
flood control along the Anacos-
tia River.
Both this and the construction
fund had been denied by the
House.
Members of the Maryland
delegation, who had fought for
the funds, voiced delight at the
Senate action and recalled that
it would put to work large funds
already appropriated by Mary
land State and local units to
correct recurrent flood conditions
at and near Peace Cross.
The 1853 Maryland General
Assembly authorized an outlay
of $4.2 million to correct the
floods but had stipulated that
none of this money should be
spent until Congress resumed its
payment of the Federal share OF
the cost.
Maryland officials had sought
a Federal construction grant for
the new fiscal year Of 81 million
but have advised the Senate APP
propriations Committee that q
Federal outlay of $500, 900 would
permit immediate work on more
than 81 million Of the whole
project.

from the train from which he
jumped.
Legation officials were at a loss
to explain how their chauffeur
came to be on a New York bound
train Of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road.
Capt. Felber said he was in
formed that a trainman and a
conductor saw Mr.. Dulgheru
trying to pull open door of the
moving train and struggled to
hold him.
The chauffeur, however, was
too strong for them and managed
to open the door, police were told
The train employees said they
were afraid they would be pulled
through the open door in the
struggle and they were forced to
let him go.
Coroner A. Magruder MacDon-
aid withheld a certificate in the
death pending the outcome Of
the police investigation.
Capt. Felber commented yes
terday: I'VE are far from fin
ished. Well check everybody
who may have seen this-every
angle of it."
No Ticket Found.
The train had left Union Sta
ton at 8:02 am. The death
scene was near Ninth street and
New York avenue NE.
A police check revealed that
if Mr.. Dulgheru bought a ticket,
he did not take advantage of his
diplomatic status to get a spe-
cial rate. No ticket was found
on the body and as far as was
known, no luggage belonging to
him was left on the train.
Joseph Bauer. assistant super
intendent of movement for the
Pennsylvania Railroad, said at
Philadelphia that the two men
who wrestled with Mr.. Dulgheru
and saw him Jump were John w.
Holsher. brakeman. from Glen
Alden, Pa, and Thomas Nc,
Donald. Pullman conductor
from New York City.
Wife Sailed on Liner.
Although police at first un-
derstood legation officials to say
that Mr.. Dulgheru was to return
to Romania on vacation, they
later said he did not have per-
mission to go home or even to
leave the city.
Like other representatives of
Russia satellite countries, he was
restricted in his movements and
would have needed State Depart
ment permission to travel from
the immediate area.
His wife. Anita, also a lega-
tion employe, sailed on the
Queen Mary five days ago for
medical treatment in Romania,
police were told. The couple had
no children, according to the
legation.

selves juggling so many hot pota-
toes they may have to drop half
of them into a deep freeze, to be
warmed over when they return
in January.
The alternatives would be to
stay on into August. or recon-
vene in the fall. And the leaders
are anxious to avoid those courses
of action If they can.
AS President Eisen h o W e r
watches the tug-of-war going on
over his tax program, his Air
Force and other budget cuts, his
treaty making power and a vari-

consciously be wondering If poll

than planning a Normandy inva-
sion.
Democrats HeIp-SOmetimes.
Several times he has seen the
Democrats rally to his support
when his own party was sharply
divided, as in the House vote
recently on foreign aid. On that
vote 100 Democrats joined 119
Republicans and one Independ-
ent to pass the bill by better
than 2 to !. In the opposition
ranks there were 81 Republicans
and only 81 Democrats.
A few days later, however, Gen.
Eisenhower saw the Senate
Democrats vote solidly against a
Republican effort to create
new Small Business Administra-
ton in the bill extending eco
nomic controls. The plan was
rejected, At to AZ. It would have
passed. Of course, if the Repub-
licans had been as united as the
Democrats. They weren't. Three
Republican dissenters gave the
Democrats the margin of victory.
That bill is still tied up in con-
ference.

the G. o. p. leaders must try to
push through in the next four
or five weeks also is embar-.
rassing-but for quite another
reason.
Business Completed.
Here is the record of business
completed:
A Department of Health, Edu-
cation and Welfare created; the
Presidents power to reorganize
agencies extended; the long fight
over oil-rich submerged tidelands
within the States historic

Calls on U.N. 10
|Forego Victory
Opposes Punishment
In Korea, Asks Peace
Without Vengeance
BY the Associafed Press


June 27.-Secretary General Dag
Hammarskjold today called on
the United Nations to .forego
total military victory in Korea
as prelude to a peace without
vengeance.
Mr.. Hammarskjold broadcast
his ideas in his first major ad-
dress on world affairs since TAX
ing over as U. N. secretary gen.
eral from Trygve Lie. It was
made to mark the signing of the
U. N. charter in San Francisco
eight years ago yesterday.
The U. N. chief spoke against
a background of demands from
President Syngman Rhee for
continued war to unite divided
North and South Korea.
Without referring specifically
to these demands, MIR. Ham
marskjold warned that the U. N.
charter does not allow use of
force to secure victory in terms
of land or power" but only for
self-defense or to repel aggres-
sion.
No Punishment Provided.
Once this has been done, he
declared, there is no provision for
further punishment of the ag-
greSsor.
The Swedish diplomat said he
was outlining a new approach to
world affairs which would be op-
posed by those who believed "in
the unconditional surrender of
old wars"
Nevertheless. he said, it "is a
full vindication of those brave
men who have sacrificed their
lives"
Mr.. Hammarskjold admitted
that, in order to put his new
formula to work, I'VE will have
to revise many Of our inherited
notions"
"The u. N. action in Korea"
he declared, marks the first at
tempt in history to meet aggres-
sion with unified force under an
International standard. Parallel
activity designed to seek a set
tlement was carried on within
the council chambers with per-
severance and a firm resolution
to uphold the concepts of the
charter.
Approach Is New Formula.
"This approach is a new for
mula in the history of political
conflicts. and its Importance
may well be underlined by the
historians of the future.
I'm exploring these new ave-
nues OF collective security we
must adapt ourselves to accept
such unfamiliar developments as
a war which ends without total
victory for any party, but only
for a principle.
such a victory, although it
may not be considered as salts
factory by those who still believe
in the unconditional surrenders
OF old wars, is a full vindication
OF those brave men who have
sacrificed their lives for this
principle.
I'm the same spirit a victory
OF the kind I have in mind will
have to be followed by a peace
without vengeance. The U. N.
Charter provides for all manners
OF action to repel aggression, but
it makes no provisions for the
ultimate punishment of the ag-
greSsor, once the fruits of his
aggression are taken away from
him.
"The U. N, in full harmony
with what we believe should be
the standards Of the future, is
an organization dedicated to the
principle that military force
should not be used save in self
defense and to repel aggression.
It does not foresee the use of
force to secure the fruits of vic
tory in terms of land and
power"
