lSSPORT TO LATIN AMERICA

The nude look IS definitely
frowned on in South America.
Except in the principal cities
where the foreign influence is
strong, strapless dresses and very
low necks are worn only for
evening parties. In Mexico the
sight Of women in shorts is so
offensive that, since the influx of
tourists, some towns have passed
ordinances against wearing them
on the streets. Stacks are tol-
Grated, but merely. II is good
sense as well as good manners
to bow to this tabu.
DON'T pass a Latin-American
friend on the street with a mere
hello" If you are in a great
hurry, call out with a smile,
"Adios!'' But the best thing
is to try not to be in a hurry.
Stop and greet your acquaint-
ance with a handshake. Chat
a few moments, shake hands
again and say good-by.
New arrivals are always be-
wildered by the amount Of hand
shaking that goes on down south.
The hand clasp is expressive of
the genial, warmhearted Latins.
They use it as greeting on all
occasions, both social and busi-
ness, and as a friendly farewell.
Even if there are 10 people in a
room when you arrive, 60 around
and shake hands with each one.
On leaving do the same thing
again.
If you remember these Gus
toms of courtesy. they'll call you
''nuy simp6tico" down there -
the incest thing they can say
about foreigners - and you'll
leave in your wake a glow Of
good will.

makes we wish I'd stayed home
with my own set"
Squads of blue-helmeted bob
bies had no problem in keeping
order. AS votes for district after
district flashed onto screens the
crowd cheered thinly for Labor
victories-and more enthusiastic
cally for the Tories.
BY l am. a kind of poker
faced optimism was beginning to
invade Conservative headquar-
terS in Abbey House where party
officials greeted visitors with
sandwiches, coffee and cautious
predictions Of victory. An official
spokesman thought things were
going satisfactorily.
Early indications were that
the vote had been light by British
standards-down an average of
7 per cent in most districts-and
this was a good omen for the
Tories. An even better omen:
Several closely contested districts
had gone to Conservatives. The
town of Watford, held by Labor
since the last election, had fallen
to the Tories by a 1,70O ma
Jorlty. Two new districts in
Southampton and Kirkdale were
safely in Conservative hands. AL
though signs were encouraging,
there was no hopeful talk about
landslide. Stalking stiff1y
toward an exit. Britain's For
elgn Minister Harold Macmillan
brushed off plea for a state
ment from waiting newsmen.
Just say I'm hoping to go to
San Francisco and let it 90 at
that" said Mr.. Macmillan, "Ill
do my talking after tomorrow"

But there was little festivity to
be found amid the glum crowd
that sat in the darkened theater
watching returns on one over
sized television screen, clucking
their tongues or gasping with
disappointment as figures rolled
in. It was too early, said a party
spokesman, to jump to any con-
clusions. Salty-tongued Bessie
Braddock had won easily in her
Liverpool dock district. There
might be other surprises in store
for overconfident Tories. But a
grim little spokesman admitted
that the trend was not favor

Government ministers continue
in office throughout British elec-
ton campaigns and retain their
portfolios if their party is sue
cessful.
The new parliament will meet
June Z to swear in its members.
The result means that Sir An
thony, 81. will speak for Britain
at the forthcoming meeting OF
Big Four leaders.
Recent signs of a thaw in the
cold war apparently played a part
in influencing the electorate. Sir
Anthony, as Foreign Minister
and then Prime Minister, was
given considerable credit. A top
Laborite admitted his party was
hurt by these Enlightened pros
poets for lasting peace"
Labor'S cause also suffered
from the lack of an issue on
which to arouse the public.
Lord Beaverbrook's Daily Ex-
press, strong voice on the Con-
servative side in this election,
predicted that Mr.. Attlee would
lose his post as party leader as
a result of the defeat. The Ex-
press foresaw a strong Bevan
bid for the top socialist spot.
The Bevanites lsng have charged
the 72-year-old Attlee and his
moderates with a dispiriting

Conservatives.
All II Communist candidates
lost their deposits of $50 pounds
($42O each. Every candidate
posts such a deposit, and loses
it if he fails to get one-eighth
of the total vote in his district.
Numerous of the Liberals 110
candidates also lost their money
But on the whole the vote for
the third party was running
somewhat larger than in 1851.

I'VE are in a democratic system
and we will work with the Con-

would not say we will be happy
to do So"
During the campaign many
Laborite speakers declared a Con-
servative victory would mean
heightened industrial unrest and
economic troubles.
Labor Party leaders felt the
relatively low poll hurt them
most. Only about rs per cent of
the IS million qualified voters
exercised their franchise, against
82.6 per cent in 1851.
Will Fulfill Trust
Sir Anthony drove to Conserv-

workers:

LONDON. May 27. Bleary
eyed Britons, recovering from
election night celebrations, hud-
died around their radios and
television sets today waiting to
learn what all the excitement
had been about.
Almost inevitably the final
verdict would come as something
OF an anti-climax. This is be-
cause in the curious tradition of
British politics the festivity is
already over. Today the scene is
rapidly resuming it's normal
sober aspect with every indica-
tlon that nothing startling has
happened to disturb the placid
course of British political life.
Still, while it lasted there were
a few moments of something like
genuine excitement. It got un-
der Way shortly after 10 o'clock
last night as the first returns
from Britain's $50 election dis
tricts started pouring into head
quarters. In a dozen BIC STU
dios squads of alert experts,
buoyed with benzedrine and
black coffee. f1ddled nervously
with their slide rules and elec-
tronic brains waiting for figures
to analyze.
Reporters Comments Sought
In the meantime, something
almost anything-had to be de-
vised to kill time. Visiting cor
respondents who dropped into
studios were lucky to escape
session in front of the cameras.
Say just anything at all" they
were urged. ANY little amusing
or interesting incident that
struck you during the cam
paign."
Commentators had reason to
be desperate. Most of them
would be at it right through the
night and most of the next day
until the final result was an
nounced.
BY midnight the show was in
full swing in Piccadilly and Ira
falgar Square. Crowds stood in
the pouring rain, holding folded
newspapers over their heads, to
watch results flashed on large
screens. BY previous election
standards it was a small turnout.
Disconsolate hawkers of balloons
and paper hats complained bit
terly that television was running
business.

dor snapped at a reporter. 1T

alone in clearing.
In front of the door stood a big
black pot. Beanie climbed over
the pot and knocked at the door.
A kind-faced woman opened the
door. She smiled at Beanie.

out of the window, How lucky

old lady from Beanie'S back

thing when suddenly he saw the

struggled down from a nearby
rock where he'd been waiting,
With a sigh of relief he threw
away the last tiny speck of chalk
he held in his hand. Then he
slipped into Beanie's pocket and
he. too, fell asleep.
The next morning when Beanie
awoke he was hungry. He
reached in his pocket for the
raisins and nuts he had brought
from home. But they were all
gone. The Dumdiddy had fin-
ished them off.
Beanie found the Dumdiddy in
his pocket. He pulled it out and
thought about how his sister
Betsy, had made it for a present
for Santa Claus.

Beanie and he started to throw
the little figure away. But there

CHAPTER SEVEN
The False Trail

The little Dumdiddy heaved
the mighty piece of chalk to his
shoulder and ran few feet down
the street. Then he lowered the
chalk and made an arrow on the
pavement. He lifted the chalk,
ran a few more feet and made
another arrow.
And so he went, as fast as his
poor knobby feet could carry
him. drawing arrows through the
town.
Meantime, back in the alley
where the red-headed robber had
left him, Beanie huddled on his
heels and shivered. At last an
hour had passed and it was time
for him to follow the arrows.
The more he thought about it
the less he liked going. But he
was afraid of making the robber
angry. And he was afraid the
robber would know he was afraid,
I'm as brave as anyone" he
told himself fiercely. III show
him."
He got to his feet and set out
to follow the chalk arrows the
robber had left for him. They
led him off the main street and
down alleys and through empty
streets.
He passed store after store but
the arrows never stopped. He
passed large warehouses and fac
tories and still the arrows went
on. He went down streets where
there were only private homes
and not a store in sight and still
the arrows went on.
He Was Out of Town
Finally he found himself out
of town on a road leading to
Far Away Places and there,
where there were no houses or
stores or anything except a road,
there the arrows ended.
Beanie searched and searched
but he could find no more ar
rows. He was exhausted. He sank
down by the road and he
thought. The robber has tricked
me"
In his heart he was glad and
he said. Il hope I never see him
again. He curled up in pile

If this needs a bit OF explana-
ton, here is the way the play
came up:
Mr.. Masters led the king Of
clubs, which was ruffed on the
board with the deuce of hearts.
Mr.. Champion correctly decided
that he had little chance for 10
tricks unless he could ruff all
four Of his losing clubs.
Therefore, at trick two he
cashed the ace Of diamonds, led
a small diamond and ruffed it
with the four of hearts. He led
a second club and ruffed it in
dummy, then came to his hand
again with the ace Of spades and
ruffed a third club.
At this point the problem was
how to get to the closed hand
again. Mr.. Champion decided it
was very dangerous to ruff an
other diamond low, as Mr.. Mas
tiers might overruff and return a
trump. That would take the last
trump off the board and leave a
losing club in the closed hand.
Obviously, this fear was WELL
grounded. However, Mr.. Cham
pion could afford to lose one
trump trick-aS long as he lost
no clubs. So, taking no chance
of losing the lead, he led a dia-
mond from dummy and ruffed
with the ace of hearts.
The last club was now led and
ruffed with dummy's last trump.
Next came the ten of spades and
Mr.. Masters was in with the
queen. He returned the king of
spades and Mr.. Abel rose to I'M
expected heights, as he often
does when Mr.. Masters is his
partner.
He ruffed the good spade and
led back a high diamond. At this
stage Mr.. Champion was down
to @ J 6 in hearts. Mr.. Masters
last three cards were the ace of
clubs and the king EIGHT of
hearts.
Mr. Champion ruffed the dia-
mond lead with the jack of
hearts. Mr.. Masters made the
fine decision not to overruff. He
simply threw away his ace of
clubs. He then held king
eight Of hearts over Mr.. Cham
pion's queen-siX and was bound
to win the last two tricks for
the defeat Of the contract.
