FAMOUS FABLES
BY E. E. EDGAR

LOST: One day, shortly after
President Eisenhower became
Army Chief of Staff, he was try
ing to find his Office in the Pen
tagon.
After wandering about for some
minutes in the maze Of corridors,
the man who had guided to VIC
tory the greatest armies in his
tory had to admit that he was
lost.
He stopped a young major who
was approaching, and asked:
Pardon me. major, could you
direct me to Gen. Eisenhower's
office?"
The major recognized the gen.
eral at once. For a moment he
Just stood in embarrassed silence.
Then. summoning his courage, he
pointed to a door a few feet
away, and mumbled without his
customary dignity:
That's your Office right over
there, sir"
Gen. Eisenhower, even more
embarrassed. thanked the man
hurriedly and quickly disap-
peared into the sanctuary on the
other side of the door.

Thanks, Mrs. N. and I must
say that you have hit on a
subject that runs into some
pretty deep water. However. I
will be glad to go along with
you. We will start with a very
simple hand and see where it
leads US.
THE basic consideration is
tl1is-do dummy's trumps have
q more important job to do than
merely following suit to trump
leads from the closed hand?
That is, will dummy's trumps
be more valuable If used to ruff
declarer's losers or to stop one
of the opponents suits while
declarer is setting up a site suit
of his own?
In today'S deal Mr.. Abel led
the king of clubs and dummy's
ace won. Dummy had no short
suits and therefore no rufflng
power. There was no reason to
delay the leading of trumps and
Mrs. Masters properly laid down
the ace and king of hearts. If
he put this of until later, the
defenders might have been able
to use their trumps to ruff in.
When the queen and jack of
hearts dropped. Mr.. Masters led
a third heart to dummy's ten.
Miss Brash discarding a small
diamond. He came to his hand
with the king of diamonds and
noted Mr. Abel's discard of a
small spade.
Next he cashed the ace of
spades and followed with a small
spade. On the second spade Mr.
Abel played the ten. This puz-
Zled Mr.. Masters for a moment.
Mr.. Abel had overcalled in the
suit and it looked like he should
have the king.
However. if he did have it the
odds were that he would have
played it on this trick. Mr..
Masters made the right guess
and ducked in dummy. Miss
Brash had to play her now
singleton king and five-odd
rolled home.

NAMES
IN THE NEWS
BY CONSTANTINE CHEKREZI

Italy is being rocked by two
bizarre murder trials. In the
first case, after two years of in
vestigations, Italian judges or
dered 10 persons held for trial
in the alleged murder of Wilma
Montesi (VH-mah Mawn-TEH-
seeD, the party girl whose nude
body was found on a beach.
Among those held is PierO Pic

playboy Ugo Montagna (OO-
goh Mawn TAH nyah) and
Saverio PolitO (Sah-VER-ee-oh
Paw-LIT- -oh), former chief of
police. The latter Is accused Of
suppressing evidence.
The second murder trial is a
cloak k-and-dagger case concern
ing the alleged assassination Of
United States Mai. william
v. Hollohan in 1914. An Italian
court found that Hollohan was
murdered by two Americans of
Italian origin: Aldo Icardi (AL-
doh Ee-KAR-dee). a Pittsburgh
lawyer. and Carl Lo Dolce
(-loh DOL-cheh) of Rochester,
N. Y. But as Icardi ar 4 Lo
Dolce could not be extradited.
the findings of the Italian court
remained in allegiance. A Fed
eral grand jury of the District
of Columbia last week reopened
the case. The Italian authori-
ties offered to provide the nec-
essary witnesses by sending
them over to the United States.

Teachers Go to School
At Summer Workshop

tinuous process of curriculum
eValuation and development that
is the life blood of any good
school system.
Six workshops are being offer
ed this year under the direction
of Thomas w. Pyle, Assistant
Superintendent in charge of the
Institutional program.
DR.. Mary L. Grau is supervis-
ing 16 participants in work
shop on mathematics courses for
elementary grades.
A group of IS are working out
course of study for the Junior
and senior high language arts
under the direction of Mrs. Helen
Bready for grades 7 to 9 and
Mrs. Genevieve S. Blew for the
senior grades. Mrs. Blew is also
working with two people on a
revision of the world history
course of study for the 10th
grade.
DR.. Charles T. Horn is con-
Quoting second and third grade
music workshop with three par
Elephants. Harold Packard has a
group of seven for junior math
and Mrs. Marian Tannhauser is
directing four others in revision
work in the special education
field.
There is also a special work
shop at Wheaton this year with
Mrs. Marjory st. Clair and Miss
Paula Rosenblat for any teacher
interested in supplementing her
course with art work.
The workshops as set up many
years ago under DR.. Edwin
Broome, develop each year from
the demands of the professional
staff for answers to particular
needs.
The course of study for each
subject establishes boundaries,
guides and resources for the
teachers. A similar pattern of
development is followed in all
subjects.
Two years of background worn
are required before the setting

up of workshop. This includes
conferences with the outside
specialists in the field as we'll as
all interested teachers and super
visors in the system.
Questionaires are sent out and
the information received is COM
piled and revoked by a special
committee of representatives
from each school. Questions of
grade placement and problems
to be included in the study course
are worked out in this manner.
Basic references, suggested acti-
Vities, films and supplementary
reading lists are also compiled.
Finally after year or more of
actual teaching, the evaluation
in light of experience as gathered
by the central committee is the
basis for the revision of the
