I am not recommending speedy
play at the expense of accuracy
or proper planning Of a hand.
However, those long huddles,
staring at the ceiling, shaking
the head sadly. making clucking
noises with the teeth and other
evidence of weakness merely
serve to give solace to the enemy.
Surely it is a distinct advan-
tage to the defenders if you tell"
them your contract is hopeless.
On the other hand, if you play
with an air Of confidence, you
are in a much better position to
bring home a hopeless contract
by means of a strategical bluff
play of some kind. That is what
Miss Brash as able to do in to-
days deal.
Mrs. Keen led the deuce of dia-
monds and Mr.. Abel won with
the ace. He laid down the king
of spades and Miss Brash
promptly dropped the ten. Mr..
Abel thought this over a moment
and shifted to a diamond.
Dummy's queen won and now
Miss Brash confidently pulled a
small spade from the board.
What would you have done in
Mr.. Abel's spot? Obviously Mrs.
Keen had bid very poor, four
card diamond suit. With as
many as four spades, she prob
ably would have stayed out of
the bidding entirely.
So it seemed likely that Miss
BraSh had a spade left. If it
were the jack and Mr.. Abel
ducked, then the defenders would
take no more tricks in the suit.
In any case, Mr.. Abel went up
with the ace of spades-and that
was the last trick Miss Brash
lost. She was now able to park
her losing club on dummy's
queen of spades.

Pineapple.

Before Johnny Appleseed'
became a legend for his apple
planting in America, Guarani
Indians led the way in pine
apple planting. The prehistoric
homeland of these Indians gave
them fruit they especially ap-
preciated, so much so that they
presented it to the world.
The fruit and plants were
taken aboard ship and dropped
off to take root on tropical
coasts wherever the winds car
ried the first explorers.
OF course, the original pine
apple was a grass-like plant
bearing a small fruit shaped like
a pine cone. But that small
ripe fruit with its rich, salts
flying flavor, brought from the
appreciative Indians the acco-
MISUNDERSTANDING "fruit"
in general, and mana, "excell-
ing"
These Indians did travel over
many thousand miles to the
Isthmus of Panama and beyond.
AS they pushed their difficult
way northward, they took time
to plant their "excelling" fruit.
Through Brazil, the Guianas,
Venezuela, Columbia, and the
Isthmus. It was in the islands
that Columbus and the other
navigators met the delectable
pineapple.

Natures Children
By LiIIion Cox Athey

Pineapples were growing in
India as early as 1548; and they
hourished in other lands as far
apart as the Canaries and the
Philippines. This feat was pos
sible because the plant is not
dependent for propagation on
seeds. The crown, stalk, and
suckers readily take root; their
vitality is so great roofing will
take place months after cutting.
In the 18th and 18th CEN
tury in England and on the
European continent, the pine
apple made it's greatest stride
toward today's type. Royal re-
cipients appreciating specimens
brought to them, fastened to en-
courage gardeners to reproduce
them. They had to be raised
under glass.
Eventually the desire for more
pineapples led to shipments
from the West Indies where i'm
proved stock from English green
houses had been sent and the
modern" role of the pineapple
in horticulture and commerce
started. The Guarania Indian
who wished to share with all his
wonderful fruit has accom-
pliShed more than he dreamed
Of. The industry is worth many
millions of dollars. Billions of
pineapples are needed to meet
the demand. America is the
heaviest user of this fruit.

Crashes With
40 in India
By the Associofed Press

CALCUTTA. India. Sunday,
May 3.-A Comet jet airliner
with three Americans and a
party of rubber-tin operators
from Malaga reported aboard
crashed in q violent storm late
yesterday within minutes after
takeoff from Calcutta. The plane
carried 40 to AZ persons.
The Singapore to London
plane was lost for hours until
village police reported today it
had crashed 80 miles southeast
of Calcutta.
Indications were that the
plane was forced off course by a
near hurricane which swept the
Calcutta area last night.
The planes British operators
and the United States consulate
in Singapore reported the three
Americans had booked passage
for New Delhi.
Two of the Americans, with no
home address available. were
identified in Singapore as Miss

Post Office Box,

An international mystery CEN
tered yesterday on a medium

jamln Franklin Post Office here.
A Communist loudspeaker on
the Korean front told American
soldiers who want peace: "Tell
the folks back home to write
Post Office Box STA, Washing

The Communist propagandist
didn't say who rented the box
U. S. Postal officials wouldn't
say. either.
The Post Office considers such
information confidential. But
postal inspectors Immediately
started investigating to see
whether the Reds picked a num-
ber at random-as seems likely
or had some kind of Communist
front to use the box.
The box has solid metal door,
so a reporter who visited the
Benjamin Franklin Post Office
could not tell whether any

Most provisions OF the big
District crime bill last night
were hailed by court and city
officials as a major step forward
in law enforcement here.
Top witnesses due to testify
at the opening of joint Con-
gressional hearings on the omni-
bus measure Tuesday gave The
Star preview of what they
favor and oppose among some
As different provisions.
Most of them had suggestions
for alterations in some of the
proposals to meet particular Situ-
ations. The only outright op-
position was expressed to the
provision in the bill for manda-
tory minimum sentences for
certain offenSeS.
The measures stem from two
Congressional investigations of
District crime and law enforce
ment-one by a House District
crime subcommittee in 1850,
headed by Representative Davis,
Democrat, of Georgia, and the

meet jointly in the Senate Cau-
Gus Room, to save these top Of
ficials from making their state
ments twice. After the opening
day, the two committees will be-
gin separate meetings and take
turns cross-eXamining the chief
policy makers.
There were varying reports last
week that the administration
was considering reducing the
Truman foreign aid estimate of
SIS billion to either Sc billion,
or $50 billion.
Senator George, who is rank
ing minority member of the For
eign Relations Committee, said
he is satisfied Congress will want
to hold it to a figure below $6
billion. A prominent Republic
can, speaking privately, said he
thought Congress would be
rather merciless" in holding
down foreign aid next year.
Oil Bill Vote Tuesday.
The Senate will reach a final
vote Tuesday on one bill which
has kept that branch tied up for
nearly five weeks-recognizing
the claim of the coastal States
to title to oil-rich submerged
lands.
But this bill ends the issue
only out to the historic bound
aries of the States-the 3-mile
limit, except for Texas and the
west coast of Florida, which 60
out los miles.
Echoes of the debate which
lasted through April will be
heard again within two weeks,
when the Senate Interior Com
mittee brings out a separate bill
to regulate oil leases further out
IN the continental shelf, which
remains under Federal owner
ship.
Unlike the House, the Senate
must take time out occasionally
to confirm presidential appoint
mentS and to act on treaties.
The rule of unlimited debate also
makes it impossible for the
Senate to keep up with the
House in the passage of must"
bills.
Several Treaties Up.
This week, for example, the
Senate must act on several
treaties to spell out legal techni-
calities involved in having armed
forces stationed in foreign coun-
tries, under the North Atlantic
Treaty.
After these treaties. the Sen
ate probably will take up the bill
extending economic controls,
such as allocations and priorities
for critical materials, and stand
by authority for the President to
freeze all prices, wages and rents
for 80 days in the event of a ma
tional emergency.
At the start of this session Re-
publican leaders hoped to finish
their program of July and go
home until January.

Construction to Sturt
On Secret Center for

Plans to build a $50 million
installation at Fort Meade, Md.
for the Super-secret National Sc
curity Agency came to light yes
terday with announcement of
bids on the first SO million worth
of construction.
Bids will be opened this week
on the initial work at Fort
Meade. At one time it was an

that move was cancelled.
The agency. the most silent
of the intelligence services. mon
itors millions of words sent in
code or clear by friend and foe
around the world each year. It
now is scattered around the Dis
trict area. Important support
ing facilities are in nearby Mary
land and Virginia.
The Corps of Engineers will
open bids this week on an esti-
mated SO million worth of bar
racks type" construction at Fort
Meade.
But the designs for the major
construction work are not eX-
pected to be approved before the
end of the year. A panel of ex-
pert engineers and architects
has been called in to 60 over
them.
Appropriated 2 Years Ago.
If all the $50 million. appro-
priated two years ago, went into
buildings alone, the new Ma
tional Security Agency quarters
would be one of the most expen-
sive in this section. The new
General Accounting Office build
ing cost in the neighborhood OF
$25 million and is the largest
and most expensive in the Dis
trict. The Pentagon, with road
ways, parking lots, ETC., cost
around $50 million. 1t has more
Office space than any other
building in the world.
However, it is believed that
much of the $50 million allo-
Gated for the National Security
Agency will be required for ex-
pensive equipment and moving
some of the existing monitoring
facilities to Fort Meade.
Little more than the name of
the organization is mentioned
officially. The Defense Depart
ment answers no questions about
it beyond saying it is a facility
concerned with specialized re-
search and training activities"
Many Employed Overseas.
The 1,100-page Federal budget,
the Federal section of the Wash
ington telephone directory and
the Pentagon's own directory
contain no mention of the
agency. Separate Army and
Navy agencies are listed in the
phone books, however.
Unconfirmed reports have
placed the number of agency en-
ployes at from 5000 to 1000 in
the United States. Many others
are working in overseas monitor
ing stations.
