Naval Armada

America, meanwhile, had used
the prospects for evacuation as a
pretext for an impressive show OF
strength. BY last week the United
States 7th Fleet in Formosa waters
had a complement Of:
. Five large aircraft carriers,
whose normal complement is from
Is to 100 planes each.
. Six cruisers, including Vice Ad-
miral Alfred M. Pride's flagship,
the 17,000-ton Helena, with her g.
inch guns.
o Fifty deStroyerS.
o One small carrier and to 4
destroyers to act as submarine
hunter-killer group.
. Several radar picket submarines.
. One seaplane tender with two
squadronS (about 80 aircraft) Of
flying boats.
Q Minelaying and minesweeping
vessels.
. Supporting fuel. ammunition
and repair vessels.
Besides these, there is the Chinese
Nationalist navy of 9 destroyers and
20 destroyer-escorts which already
is operating against the Reds.
The United States is able to bring
such an impressive force to bear be-
cause Of the Navy's unique rotation
system. The 7th Fleet actually is
two fleets. which alternate home
and sea duty every six months. Ro-
tation was stopped for the Formosa
emergency.
Another helpful factor has been
the transfer since last September
when the Reds shelling of Quemoy
started-of 33 ships from the East
Coast to the West Coast.

Not even Chou En-lai's arrogant
"No!" of last Thursday convinced

China was bent on war.
Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru,

to make new effort to set up cease

Some diplomats hoped this Is what
Chou was seeking.
Just to sweeten the pot, these

Looking the hand over, Mr..
Dale saw that he had one sure
club loser and a possible loser in
spades. Obviously one OF these
had to be avoided.
What about finesSing the jack
Of diamonds Immediately? II it
held, the third round Of dia-
monds would furnish a parking
place for a club from the closed
hand. Mr.. Dale looked sharply
at Mr.. Meek. Had the worlds
most cautious player suddenly
started undertaking queens
against slam bids? Mr.. Dale
thought not and he won the first
trick with dummy'S king of dla-
monds.
Now if the clubs broke 3-3, a
spade could be discarded on
dummys fourth club. The
chances of clubs breaking even
were SO in 100. The spade finesse
was a $3.50 chance.
But Mr.. Dale didn't make his
decision on these figures alone.
He decided he could have both
chances. The chances that one
or the other would work were 68
in 100. There were several added
possibilities in favor of the line
Of play Mr.. Dale selected.
First there was the chance
that Mrs. Keen had started with
the doubleton queen of diamonds.
Then there was the chance she
would make an error when she
was presented with the lead.
With these thoughts in mind,
the old master led two rounds
of trumps, then cashed the ace
of diamonds. Nothing happened.
Next he played the jack of dia-
monds from dummy and threw
a small club on it as Mrs. Keen
won with the queen.
The only safe return here was
q club and Mrs. Keen was good
enough to realize it. Mr.. Dale
won with the ace Of clubs, led to
the king and trumped a third
round of the suit.
When the clubs broke, he en-
tered dummy with the ace of
spades, led the last club and got
rid of his only remaining loser,
the small spade. II he had taken
either the spade or the diamond
finesse early in the hand he
would have gone set.

He asked them to write down
10 rules Of behavior for their
parents - what they would like

an assurance which impressed

FIRST, most children took their
time before they revealed their
real grievance. The first rules"
were usually playful suggestions,
often enough naughty. 1t was
left to rules five or six to express
the real complaint, the actual
heartache. the true grievance.
Second. most older children
(aged II to 14 were more reluc-
tant to criticize their parents
even indirectly than the younger
generations" They were more
careful not to let others intrude
upon their private world, more
reluctant to reveal their true

Runner-up to the do not
quarrel" rule was the complaint
by children who feel they are not
treated with equal affection at

In most of these cases, only
one parent seemed to show a
marked preference for one child,
and more often than not it was
the father.

SOME of the rules" revealed
a pathetic hunger for more affec-
ton, for more notice and even
petting.
Little John, also II, a quiet
and well-behaved child, but a
pupil who shows a regrettable
lack Of self-confidence, put this
touching plea on paper: Par
ents should love all their children
as much as younger brothers"
He has a four-year-old brother.
And no psychologist could put
the case for equal treatment bet
ter and with greater urgency than
little Margaret, aged 10, whose
sixth rule was, 'All children
must be loved alike at home by
their parents"
A striking feature of this mass
test was that the bank account of
the father, and his social posi-
ton, did not matter much.

son Of one of the richest families
and the grievance expressed by
the son of an unskilled labourer
were identical.
