determined at the beginning of the
game by drawing cards and unaltered
by any of the cards received in en-
suing deals.
Calypso is a game in which tricks
are taken. but unlike Bridge. the
number of tricks captured has no
significance and they are frequently
broken up in the process of forming
Calypsos. Calypso also differs from
Bridge in that no one suit ranks
higher than another.
What about Canasta? The games
are similar in that the main object
in Calypso is to complete as many
Calypsos as possible during the four
deals comprising a game. But you
cannot add to a Calypso "a complete
run of 2, 3, a., etc, up to the ace of
your personal suit by NEEDING from
your hand; you build the Calypso
only with cards in tricks won by you
and your partner. There is no meld-
ing or discarding in Calypso. no wild
cards or bonus cards; Jokers aren't
even used.
Perhaps the best news for most
card fans is that a Calypso game is
completed in a half hour or less
while a game of Canasta car some
times run several hours.
You can get a free. pocket-sized
leafiet containing the complete rules

NAACP OFFICIAL CHARGES

New York = Many unlicensed
domestic employment agencies in
the New York City suburban
are are inducing southern Negro
women to travel North for al
legged well-paying jobs, then cheat
ing them of their earnings, threat
ening arrest should they quit
their jobs, and, in at least one
agency, selling" them to en-
ployers for the sum of $50.
This charge was made by Her
bert Hill, NAACP labor score
tary, in testimony before the New
York State Joint Legislative Com
mittee on Industrial and Labor
Conditions here on May Is. Mr..
Hill called for new legislation
governing New York State en-
ployment agencies which recruit
out-of-state labor.
He said the NAACP is receiv-
ing IAN increasing number of
complaints" from what he term
ed "the unfortunate victims of
what is clearly a vicious racket
conducted by corrupt traffickers
in human misery"
Describing the circumstances of
the domestic employment "rac-
ket," Nh. Hill said: "Unlicensed
employment agencies operating
along the suburban periphery of
New York City where licens-
ing is not required, solicit Negro
women from southern commun-
tiles to come to New York State
for domestic employment.
"The solicitation consists of ad-
vertising in the southern Negro
press and in some instances labor
agents from New York City ac-
lively recruit in conjunction with
local employment agencies operat-
ing in the Negro communities in
