A WORD
TO THE WISE
BY MRS. FRANK COLBY

@. I am in the beauty shop
supply business. Women GUS
toners write to US by the dozens
every day. Now here Is the
problem?e When a woman signs
her letter Mary Jones'" how
should we address her in replying
Miss? Mrs? Madam? And
isn't there some kind of law
against a woman's signing a
name that can be taken as either
masculine or feminine, such as:
Jimmy Davis. Gail Walker, T,
Thompson, Marion Brown? Do
something I'LL. B. S.
A. In the first case, obviously
the only solution is to use the
title Miss. In America there is
an increasing trend toward
dropping the Mrs" by women
who are in business. Indeed,
most women writer's, painters,
and musicians, and practically
all actresses, never use their
husbands names at all, except
perhaps in private life.
Good form, however, demands
that an unmarried woman sign
her name thus:
Miss Mary Jones
A married woman, or a widow
should sign thus:
Norma Henderson Walker
Mrs. G. S. Walker)
1t was formerly considered bad
taste for a married woman OF
widow to sign: :, Mrs. Mary
Smith" AS a matter of fact, in

leading social arbiters declares

Mr.. Abel is not q serious stu
dent Of the game. For example.
he doesn't know what a Vienna
soup is-not by that name, any
way. It took that coup to make
today's contract and Mr.. Abel
reasoned 1t out.
Mr.. Dale opened the king Of
clubs. Mr.. Abel won with the
ace and paled slightly when he
saw the dummy. He regretted
his brashness in the bidding. He
counted several times but
couldn't get his winners beyond
IL. Mr.. Champion was glaring
at him, his expression seeming
20 say, II don't know whether
you can make it. All I know
Is. you'd better make it,"
Mr.. Abel thought. He thought
hard. It came to him that he
might squeeze out the 18th trick
If one opponent had four or
more spades and the king of
hearts. To guard both majors
she opponent would have to hold
four spades and two hearts-six
cards in all. Mr.. Abel could win
che first eight tricks in diamonds
and clubs. Thus the opponent
could be reduced to five cards.
Yes. the squeeze would work.
But here was the rub: What was

the run Of the diamonds? Six
discardS had to be made. -Four
Of them could be clubs, and one
small spade could be spared.
If Mr.. Dale held the king Of
hearts and four or more spades,
everything would be all right,
because he would have to discard
oefore dummy. But what If Mr..
Meek held those key cards? In
that case, if dummy discarded
che four Of hearts on the last
diamond, Mr.. Meek could safely
7lank the king of hearts. His
king would fall under the ace,
out there would be no way for
Mr.. Abel to get back to his hand
20 cash the queen. If dummy
discarded the second small spade
Mr.. Meek could safely discard
a spade.
Finally Mr.. Abel saw the So
luton. At trick two he led a
heart to dummy's ace. Then he
ran the diamonds. Now he could
safely discard the four of hearts
from dummy. The queen in
ais own hand would force Mr..
Meek to hold onto the king. But
Mr.. Meek couldn't hold four
spades, too. And so the grand
Siam was made.
The Vienna coup, then, is a
play in which you deliberately

 Aboard Rescued

-Four rafts in water" the Pont- chartrain messaged soon after the plane went down.
 The Pontchartrain then launched it's lifeboats and took everyone aboard.
 Pilot Ogg had circled for five hours over the weather ship wait ing for daylight to put his plane down.
 The ditching operation took place on a carpet of fire extin- guisher foam laid down by the cutter. The foam helped smooth the sea, gave the pilot better sight of the strip on which to land and reduced fire hazard.
 As an additional precaution, Flight Engineer Frank Garcia flooded the two inboard wing compartments, housing the en- zines still operating with extin- guisher foam just at the moment of landing.
 The planes two outboard en- zines had failed just after the Stratocruiser passed over the Pontchartrain, on duty at Sta ton November" as a weather ob- servation ship, and just past the point of no return" on the 2,4OO- mile flight from Honolulu to San Francisco.

Taxi Cab Radio Calls In N. Carolina Delay Firing of Rocket in Canada

FORT CHURCHILL, Man, R- Radio interference from taxicabs in North Carolina, an air base in Florida, and missile proving grounds in New Mexico have de- layed US, Army attempts to test fire a high-altitude rocket here in the subarctic.
 The test by the US. Ordnance Corps had been set for noon to- day. But the Signal Corps team found itself listening to taxicab messages from Fort Bragg, NC, Air Force signals from Florida, and progress reports from the White Sands, NM, rocket-prov- ing grounds.
 The rocket, 26-foot Aerobee, is packed with delicate instru- ments to measure wind, tempera- ture and density. The data will be relayed by radio to scientists on the ground.
 Bill Cruickshanks, electronics scientist from Aberdeen. Md, said the interference came from radio beams deflected off the iono- sphere, a band of rarefied gases 50 to 100 miles above the earth.
 Officials began trying to find out if interference is quieter at night. If so, the rocket will be launched late tonight.

Nixon Says Stevenson's Proposal To Halt Testing of H. Bomb Would Increase the Chances for War
tBY THE ASSOCIATED PREss,

Vice President Nixon said last night Adlai Stevenson's policies would increase the chances for war;"
 Speaking in Buffalo, NY, Nix on said the nation would be "tak- ing fearful risk" in electing Ste venson if he persists in the stand he has taken on the H-bomb issue.
 Nixon said "In a nutshell, the difference between the EisenhoW- CT and Stevenson positions is:
 MT. Stevenson says we should stop our tests if we can get other nations to sign agreements that they will do so.
 "President Eisenhower says we should stop our tests only if we can get an agreement which is backed by foolproof inspection"
 Nixon said MT. Stevenson's policy of military weakness and naive reliance on Communist promises wiuld increase the chances for war"
 Former New York Gov. Thomas E. Dewey last night described Stevenson's H-bomb proposal as "an invitation to national suicide"
 Dewey said Stevenson "has not yet explained what would prevent the whole world from falling to the Reds if we had neither mili- tary manpower nor the best nu- clear weapons and he can never explain it."

YugOslaVia ReSentS Tone Of US. Statement On Continuing Aid

BELGRADE, Yugoslavia, R-A Foreign Ministry representative said today President Eisenhower's statement on aid to Yugoslavia contains elements which are not in conformity with principles of independent and equal coopera- tion between the two countries.
 In a statement, the Foreign Ministry said Yugoslavia would renounce US. aid "in case the American government considers it difficult to continue" it.
 President Eisenhower decided last Monday to continue econom- ic aid to Yugoslavia but to hold up on delivery of important mili- tary aid, including 200 jet air planes, after President Tito paid a surprise visit to the Soviet Un- ion for confidential talks. The President said he believed. Yugo- slavia remained independent of control by the Soviet Union, but the delivery of the warplanes would be held up until the situa- tion can be more accurately ap- praised"
 The Yugoslav Foreign Ministry said US. military aid during the year had practically ceased to exist"

SEATTLE, R-President Eisen- hover turned his campaign today to the battle for Washington States nine electoral votes with an aide picturing him as optimis- tic about his chances for carrying Minnesota.
 The Presidents big pitch for the Washington State vote comes tonight at an address at a rally at Civil Auditorium here. He will be plugging, too, for election of Re- publican Gov. Arthur B. Langlie to the US. Senate.
 Eisenhower arrived in Seattle late yesterday after being greeted by enthusiastic crowds in Mime sota, where he spoke at midday in downtown Minneapolis and St. Paul. NeWsmen who have trav- eled with the President turnout his campaign figured the turnout as the largest so far.
 Here in Seattle, the crowds on the route from the airport were thinner than in the twin cities, but were jam-packed around the Hotel Olympic, where the Presi- dent and Mrs. Eisenhower are staying.
 In the Minneapolis and St. Paul areas, Eisenhower rode about 30 miles in an open car and he stood, waving to the crowds, just about all the way. He did the same on the ride from the airport here.
 At the airport at dusk he was met by his brother Edgar, and by Gov. Langlie. After tonight's speech the President will drive to Tacoma to spend the night at Edgar's home there.
 On Friday, he will travel to Los Angeles for a speech that eve ming at the Hollywood Bowl. On the way back to Washington on Saturday he will speak in Denver.
