peaceful action will suffice. The
President answered a long series
of questions at a news confer
ence about developments in the
WorSening Indo-China situation,
but declined repeatedly to spec
ify exactly how far the United
States was ready to go to save
Indo-China from either the
present Communist rebels or a
possible invasion from Commu-
mist China.
Gen. Eisenhower was asked
specifically whether the United
States was prepared to go-it-
alone in Indo-China as last
resort. He replied that he has
his own personal convictions.
But he is not going to air them
everywhere because that would
tend to stultify negotiations with
our allies.
Queried on U. N. Action.
Asked whether the United
States would take the Indo-
China question to the United
Nations, Gen. Eisenhower said
that the free world must have
a concert of readiness to react
in whatever way is necessary.
Almost simultaneously with
the Presidents news conference,
Secretary Dulles told the Repub-
lican Women's Centennial Con-
ference that the United States
is seeking to develop a united
will among friendly nations in
tereSted in the Southeast Asian
area which would doom Red
ChinaS ambitions there to fail
ure.
Mr.. Dulles said that if present
negotiations produce such will
and make the stand of the free
nations sufficiently clear. then
there would be less need for
united action" to save Indo-
China from communism.
But he declared grimly that
the potential danger to free
world interests in the area is
very great and there exists the
risk of a great disaster" there.
Secretary Dulles in the past
few days has conferred about
the Indo-China situation with
representatives of Great Britain.
France. Australia, New Zealand.
Thailand and the Philippines.
Today he scheduled a confer
ence with diplomats from the
three associated states of Indo-
China-Viet Nam, Cambodia and
DaoS.
Doesn't Mention Paris Plea.
Gen. Eisenhower did not men
ton an announcement from
Paris today that France has
asked the United States for more
planes and aviation material to
carry on the war in Indo-China.
State Department spokesman
Henry Suydam. however, said
this afternoon that the whole
American aid program for Indo-
China is predicated on the as
sumption of requests for par
ticular items of assistance.
THE United States Govern
ment considers them urgently
and sympathetically in every
case" Mr.. Suydam added.
In a summary of the i'm
portance of Indo-China, Gen.
Eisenhower warned that the pos
Sible consequences of the loss Of
Indo-China are incalculable to
the free world.
Gen. Eisenhower cited the
principle of falling dominos.

is one in which the hope Of VIC

American painter Gilbert
White was an inveterate
practical joker. When he
lived in Paris, he once
brought home a tiny tor
toiSe.

Of this creature for me-" he
said to the landlady. Feed
it a leaf of lettuce every day
and you will see how re-
markably it will grow"
The landlady put the tor
toise in the back yard and
fed it as instructed. That
night, White removed the
tortoise and substituted a
larger one. The following
night he substituted a still
larger tortoise and each
night thereafter he brought
home bigger and bigger tor
toiseS until the creature in
the back yard was of terri
flying proportions.
The landlady could not
believe her eyes. When the
tortoise continued to grow,
she summoned her neigh
borS from blocks around to
witness this miracle.
White waited until inter-
est was at fever pitch. Then
he reversed the process.
substituting smaller and
smaller tortoises each day.
While the neighborS gaSped
and the landlady whispered
under her breath, the tor
toise shrank to its original
size - then disappeared al
together.
The landlady never did
find out what had caused
the creature to grow in such
a strange manner and. then
vanish, but from then on
she would not let a piece of
lettuce pass her lips.

Mr.. Muzzy opened the single
ton jack of diamonds, Mr..
Champion won with the ace and
returned a diamond, which Mr..
Muzzy ruffed. The jack OF
spades came back and Mr.. Dale
took it with the ace on the board.
He took out the trumps in two
leads. ending in his own hand.
Then he led his two good dia-
monds and discarded dummys
two remaining spades. Next a
spade was ruffed on the board.
At this point there seemed to
be no way to avoid the loss OF
two club tricks, since the enemy
had all the honorS except the
ace. Would you throw the hand
in, saying, "Give you two clubs?
Don't do it. Mr.. Dale didn't even
give any indication that the con-
tract was in jeopardy.
Actually, in this Setup there
are a number of combinations
Of the outstanding clubs which
would make it either impossible
or extremely difficult for the de-
tenders to win more than one
trick in the suit.
In this particular case it took
two second-hand-high plays by
the defenders to defeat the con-
tract. Mr.. Champion was good
enough to make his, but Mr..
Muzzy-well, I'll give you one
guess.
After stripping all Of the
spades and diamonds from his
own hand and dummy, Mr.. Dale
led the trey of clubs from the
board. Mr.. Champion saw what
was coming.
Mr.. Dale was going to throw
him in with the king of clubs.
And he would have to return
either a spade or a diamond,
either of which would enable
Mr.. Dale to discard a club from
his hand while ruffing in dummy.
So Mr.. Champion played the
king of clubs. Mr.. Dale won
with the ace and led back a
small club. Mr.. Muzzy could
have taken two club tricks if
he had taken this trick with the
queen. But why play the queen
when the ten will win? Mr..
Muzzy played the ten-and Mr..
Champion had to win with the
Jack, and was end-played by after
all.

and often bitter history, we have
again and again suffered vicious
physical torment without fighting

when we deeply believed our

such as during the conquest of
Canaan-or in moments of blind

It is ajoyous and festive occa-

spirit of the holiday, the sense of
happiness and dissatisfaction,
the quiet feeling of profound ac-
complishment, of things done and
done well, of ideals realized and
dreams made true are the results
of our knowledge of the strength
of faith. And the candles which
we light, adding one each day, are
symbols of the eternal faith for
which blood was shed and vic
tories were won.
But there is far more TO Chanu-

victory. Chanukah is the glory of
The Jew-but not because the
Maccabees fought and won a war.
Il is not the victory itself which is
fundamental to the Jew but what
resulted from the victory. The
war which the Maccabees fought
was fought not for land but for
faith. The thousands of Jews who
died on the hills of Judea died not
for land. but for God. The victory
