Fighting Shook.

Until a few years ago. this
saltwater game fish was un-
known, at least by the name OF
shook. He has been known for
some time as robalo. The shook
resembles both the fresh-water
pike and saltwater bass. In
size he averages 2 to S pounds.
He is established from Florida
to the northern coast of South
America. Occasionally 20 and
80 Founders are taken.
We find the best places to fish
for snook are inlets, saltwater
bays or lagoons and the many
so-called salt rivers to be found
on the Gulf Coast. Fishing the
inlets is not without interfer-
ences. A strong tide is usually
running with the sea spilling
over the jetties.
A wire leader is a must. While
the shook has no teeth, its gill
covers are as sharp as a knife
and when playing the fish if the
line contacts the gills, say good
by to your line. The leader
should be at least a yard long
Mullet. shrimp or crab are used

for bait. The shook makes up
his mind quickly, he is no quib-
bier. He grabs the prize and
hangs on. You are in for a
fight. The snook's first vicious
run will convince you that you
have hooked a fish of great size.
The common snook or robalo
is the best known species of the
family, as we'll as the largest
and most abundant. 1t is COM
mon on sandy shores throughout
the West Indies and from
Florida to Surinam. It attains
a length of or 4 feet. Those
seen in the markets average
2 feet. Army and Navy officers
stationed at San Juan, P. r.
enjoy trolling for snook in the
mouths of the rivers along the
north side of the island.
Shocks have decided green
tint on their back, with dull
silvery sheen on the side and a
lateral black line. Ventral fins
are plain yellow with a few
dusky dots. The eyes are large
and the back considerably
elevated. The projecting lower
jaw indicates he is a fighter,
with bulldog determination.

While game at a major re-
quires one more trick than game
at no-trump, a good trump suit
in a partnership will almost
always produce that needed
extra trick.
Mr.. Dale and Mr.. Muzzy had
the required high cards in to-
days deal and reached the OBJ
vious spade game. Mr.. Abel led
the jack of diamonds, dummy's
queen was put up and Mr..
Champion played the king.
AS usual, Mr.. Muzzy's mind
was out in left field. He meant
to win with the ace, but some
how got hold of the six spot and
played it. When he saw his
'error" he grabbed for his card,
but Mr.. Champion had picked
up the trick which, of course,
was rightfully his.
ITS a pleasure to play against
you, Muzzy." said Mr.. Champion.

His statement was true, in
general But this time he would
have Jared better if Mr.. Muzzy
had been permitted to win the
first trick.
Mr.. Champion returned a dia-
mond at trick two and this time
the ace won. Mr.. Muzzy took
three rounds of trumps, ending
in his hand He then led the
jack of clubs and let it ride.
Mr.. Champion won with the
king, and, as you see, the only
winner he could cash was the
ace of heratS. Thus Mr.. Muzzy
made his contract, losing only a
diamond. a club and a heart.
Note that if he had won the
first diamond trick he would
have had no chance against rea-
sonably good defense. When the
club f1nesse lost, Mr.. Champion
could have reached his partners

a heart return through dummy's
king would have developed the
necessary number of tricks for

which was all but dead, now has
vitality in it.
The secretary refused to be
pinned down to a specific date
by which the treaty must be
signed to satisfy the admins
tration. But he predicted that
any large unconditional aid pro-
gram would be impossible, with
out assurances on EDO.
The statement, taken in con-
nection with the inevitable
stretchout of NATO goals for
the coming year, has a sinister
ring for many European observ-
ers here. It seems hard to
square with he repeated asser-
tions by Mr.. Dulles and his fell
low ministers that the time has
not arrived to relax the rearma-
ment pace.
The general feeling in Europe
is that if NATO's future really
depends on the early creation of
an integrated European army, it
hangs on very slender thread.
Few politicians or military men
have any real faith in the prof.
ect as outlined in the treaty.
Fewer believe with Secretary
Dulles that it provides any long
range guarantee Of. German
tractahility. .,-.--r--.-,...-,. ..~...,... !
From military point OF view,
the difficulties olved in
achieving an integrated fighting
force are enormous Even such
relatively simple problems ais
working out Standardization of
pay scales and food for soldiers
OF different nationalities are
enough to give military planners
the Shudders.
: Mr.. Dulles, of course, is not
thinking in these terms. He is
dealing in the political field, and
pressing for what will be ac-
cepted in the United States as
a political victory for the admin
istration.
1t is possible, though at this
point it seems highly improbable,
that satisfactory progress will be
mace toward ratification of the
EDO treaty by the time Congress
gets around to debating the for
eign aid bills. But observers
here predict it will be an action
OF the most formal kind, aimed
at satisfying the political re-
quirements rather than solving
the military problem.
UnfavOrable Reaction Likely.
European reaction to Mr..
Dulles statement however will
certainly be violent and unfavor-
able, if past experience is a re-
liable guide. Government lead
ers who favor ratification of the
treaty will find their own polit-
ical problems increased by re-
neWed charges of American pres
sure. There will also be some
who will look on Mr.. Dulles
statement as an indication that
the administration is willing to
scrap the whole European re-
program.
It will be argued that subStan-
tial progress toward ratification

will spend themselves until they
know exactly how much Ameri-
can help they can count on.
Economic Situation Studied.
Despite this, the ministers to-
day studied a big volume of fig-
ures known as the NATO IAN
nual review" It sets forth each
nations economic capabilities
and willingness to pay for arms.
Officials who have been poring
over these figures for months say
European nations will pay out
about $12 billion this year for
NATO defenses.
The United States outlay for
foreign aid, delivery of material
and maintenance of land, sea
and air forces in and around
Europe is expected at least to
match this sum.
Mr.. Dulles said yesterday that,
from here on, he is looking to
Europe to set the pace in re-
arming.
"They can appreciate the peril
better than we," he said.
Mr.. Dulles was firm in point
ing out, however, that the United
States expects prompt action on
the European army treaty to get
German troops into uniform. He
warned that the American Con-
gress would be reluctant to ap-
prove any large appropriation
for NATO without assurances
that progress was being made on
the treaty.
Another hint Of future United
States policy came in a state
ment by Defense Secretary
Charles E. Wilson. In lauding a
series of agreements to manu-
facture $3.50 million worth Of
planes in Europe-with the
United States putting up half
of the money-Mr. Wilson ex-
pressed hope that similar plans
would follow.
One highly placed American
said more and more of this type
of matched aid could be ex-
pected.
The ministers agreed yester-
day there could be no slackening
Of NATO efforts on the basis of
Russian peace gestures thus far.
The Council went on to other
political questions today. Un-
der this heading they were ex-
pected to take up a progress
report on the proposed Eu-
ropean army proposal and a re-
port by Greece and Turkey on
their new defense agreement
with Yugoslavia.

Candidate Adlai Stevenson in
the 1852 presidential election.
The 73-year-old union chief
told the committee to give serious
thought to his proposal. He said:
This proposal is seriously
made. The ever-rising tide of
industrial strife in recent years
and the repeated governmental
interferenceS under exist
ing law and the bitterness en-
gendered thereby in all segments
of our population justify the
Congress in stripping the statute
books of both the Wagner and
Taft-Hartley Acts"
That would leave two basic
laws dealing with organized la
bor-the 1882 Norris-La Guardia
Act and the 1914 Clayton Act.
No matter how amended, Mr..
Lewis said, the Taft Hartley Act
will remain "a thorn and a spear
in the side of American labor" :"
He added:
"A liberal application of CO.
logne or a generous sprinkling
of Chanel No. s. cannot and will
not deodorize an otherwise

The law, Mr.. Lewis said, "is

labor unions but upon the coun-
try at large"
Not Recognized by NLRB.

that the Nation "has never suf-
fered irreparable injury from
