Along that line, one of the

that future sessions of the

sembly be opened with prayer.
A resolution for reforms in
slaughtering methods asked
club members to investi-
gate conditions and to re-
quire humane practices in their
own communities. 1t also en-
dorsed national legislation to
require that humane practices
be used in the slaughter Of
food animals.
Mrs. Horace B. Ritchie, At
lanta, Ca, chairman Of the
Policy Committee, said stud
les had revealed there were
many areas of the country
where practices for slaughter
ing animals were both inhu-
name and unsanitary. She
declined to pinpoint the areas.
Another measure urged Con-
gress to return to the forest
service sums sufficient for the
maintenance and development
of recreational areas in the
national forests.

Starvation Belt Reported In The Canadian Arctic

CHURCHILL, Man., R - An Eskimo starvation belt is threat ening to grow in. the Arctic be- tween the Mackenzie river and Hudson Bay because of declining caribou populations an official says.
 The caribou herds, wandering through the rocky, barren tundra of the north, have been cut by more than 40 per cent in the last two years because of disease, slaughter by Indians and Eskimos and wolves.
 The result is a heavy migration by the northern natives to coastal regions where food is more plen- tiful and fishing possibility.
 Bill Kerr, northern affairs of- ficer here, said Eskimos living along the Hudson Bay and Baf- finland coasts have not been af- fected by the starvation threat. But conditions in the interior are reaching serious proportions.
 Wolves have taken a big toll of caribou. A poison bait scheme, with strychnine loaded meat hung on wooden poles, killed about 200 of the scavengers this summer. A few foxes, too small to reach the meat, died from eat ing dead wolves.

British Firm Develops A New Type Of Reverse Radar"

LONDON, R-A new type of reverse radar" which allows the skipper of a ship or plane 10 see himself as other shippers see him has been developed by a British firm.
 The manufacturers of the Decca True Motion Radam said their in- struinent made the reading of radar pictures simpler.
 In conventional radar the transmitting ship is represented at the center of the screen. In the new system the transmitting ship is shown moving across it's own screen at the correct speed and bearing with other vessels moving at their true course and speed and stationary objects, such as buoys and light ships, clearly shown to be stationary.
 The manufacturers said the de vice seeks to reduce the human error in using radar and elim- mate the need for course plot ting.

B Persons Killed In Morocco Riots Over French Action

.RABAT. Morocco, R-At least 53 persons, mostly Europeans, to- day were reported killed in Nor occo in rioting touched off by Frances seizure of five top AL gerian rebels.
 French and Moroccan armed patrols uncovered more and more burned and mutilated bodies in the city of Meknes, where angry Arab nationalists struck Tuesday.
 Moroccan troops and French Legionaires mounted guard in the European section of Meknes while the search went on in the native quarters for more bodies.
 In addition to yesterdays riot ing in the town, French sources said 38 farms, mostly European, in the surrounding countryside were wholly or partly burned by rampaging Moroccans.
 The actual cause of the rioting in Meknes appeared to be the ac- cidental shot fired by Moroccan trooper who wounded himself. The shot enraged demonstrators and the bloodshed was on.
 French police reportedly threat ened to stop working for the Mor- ocean government after four of their men were found slain.
 Eight bodies of Europeans were found this morning mead the Por- tuguese bridge on the main road to Rabat, 100 miles east of Nick nes. Meknes is a city of 150,000 inhabitants, more than 10000 of them Europeans.
 Rioting ended yesterday and authorities spent the night look ing for bodies.
 In Tunis, Morocco's Sultan Mo hammed V glumly ordered plane home He and Tunisian leaders broke off talks which had been interrupted when France seized the Algerian rebels.

concerning the boys age.
When the sons case was sent
to Juvenile Court the father was
called to account for the addi-
Itional charge of contributing to
the delinquency of his son in
obtaining the drivers license for
him.
His attorney, H. Malone Dres-
bach, argued double jeopardy on
the ground the parent already
had been fined in Municipal
Court because of the permit
transaction. Judge Cockrill ruled
the charges and results, though
similar, were not identical. She
ordered the father to stand trial
on January %.
Judge Cockrill also denied a
motion by Mr.. Dresbach that
she disqualify herself as the trial
Judge on grounds she had shown
hostility toward the boys father
during a hearing of the sons
case. The motion to disqualify
was denied.

This makes Mr.. News uncle
the greatest player Of all time.
No one else can do this sort Of
thing. In fact, I don't think
Mr.. News uncle can either.
On some hands you can finally
know for a certainty what the
distribution is. On others you
can make a pretty accurate
guess. But on many other hands
nobody at all can figure who
holds what until late in the
play. If then.
Let me show you how the i'm
portant business Of counting out
a hand is accomplished. Today's
hand is a simple example, but
even so players like Mr.. Muzzy
would be Just as likely to take
the club f1nesse wrong as right
Mr.. New opened the king of
spades and continued with the
ace. On the second trick Mr..
Abel discarded a small club.
Now, after the play Of only two
tricks. Mr.. Champion knew that
Mr.. Abel had started with one
spade and Mr.. New with six.
At trick three out came an
other spade. Mr.. Abel ruffed and
returned the ten Of diamonds.
Mr.. Champion won with the
king and laid down the ace Of
hearts. Here Mr.. Abel pitched
another club. So. after the fifth
trick. Mr.. Abel was known to
have started with one heart and
Mr.. New with three.
Mr.. Champion pulled all of
Mr.. News trumps. Then he led
to dummy's ace of diamonds and
Tuffed the last diamond.
When Mr.. New followed to
both of these diamond leads.
Mr.. Champion knew for sure
that there was not more than
one club on his left. In other
words, Mr.. New had shown six
spades. three hearts, and at
least three diamonds, IL cards
IN all.
It was nothing then to take
the club f1nesse the right way
and make the bid.
