fourth club he would pitch a
diamond. Then he would lead
a diamond and If the ace we're
on his right, he could win a

his last diamond and make six

This dream was of short dura-

tricks and a spade to put the

A WORD
TO THE WISE
BY MRS. FRANK COLBY

The origin of Ito walk ones
chalks." meaning ito move
away" is uncertain. 1t has been
suggested, plausibly, 1 think,
that the phrase arose from the
prerogative once accorded to
travelling royalty whereby the
marshal and sergeant chamber
lain indicated by a chalk mark
the houses which were to be oc-
cupied by the kings retinue. The
residents of these particular
houses were expected to vacate
at once.
The seemingly identical phrase,
ito walk the chalk" has an en-
tirely different origin. It was
the custom on shipboard to make
men suspected of drunkenness
walk a straight line which was
made by chalk. If he managed
to do so without wavering, he
was exonerated; if he was un-
able to comply, the consequences
were dire.
"It'S a cold day when I get
left" meaning you'll have to get
up very early in the morning to
get the best of me-" has its
origin in the game of poker
Each player bought a certain
number of chips. and when all
were lost, he was allowed to buy
no more. He was then what was
called frozen" and the game
continued until one man had
all the chips. The frozen" ones
were the subject of hilarious in
quiries as to the state of the
thermometer, and the winners
glee would take some such form
as, 1T may be a cold day for
you fellows, but it. would have
to be a good deal colder before
! get left"
The origin Of the expression
the real Mccoy" referred to the
fighter, Kid Mccoy. During the
early days of his fistic career
he would occasionally make
some easy money by fighting
under an assumed name, usually
against some local favorite. AT
such a bout, a spectator, recog-
nlzing him, cried. why, that's
McCoy-the real McCoy!"

last club from the closed hand.
Then lead the jack Of clubs from
the board.
AS long as Mrs. Keen refrains
from playing the king, continue
clubs and discard diamonds from
the closed hand. When she does
put up the king, ruff it, go to
dummy via the ace of hearts and
cash whatever remaining clubs
there are.
If Mr.. Meek should turn up
with the king of clubs he would
win a trick with it, but from
his side of the table it would
not be possible to cash more
than one diamond and the de-
Tenders would get only one spade.

Russians Seen
Sailing Over
Atomic Guards

The United States has pro-
posed that Russia join in stand
ardizing safeguards" against Sc
cret diversion of peaceful atoms
to military purposes by small ma
tons which get atomic aid from
the big powers.
Russia has agreed in a general
way that this is a good idea,
but State Department officials
are convinced that the Soviets
are really stalling on the whole
project and using 1t as a propa-
ganda issue against the United
States.
The proposal and the Soviet
reaction to it were disclosed last
night with the publication of an
exchange Of Is notes between
Washington and Moscow on pro-
noting and controlling peaceful
uses Of atomic energy all over
the world.
United States officials said
they believe that in the long run
the Soviets will join in some
kind of safeguard arrangement
for the peaceful uses of atomic
energy.
Notes Began in 1854
The series of notes given out
here by the State Department
began back in November 1854,
when the United States was urg-
ing Russia to get on with nego-
tiations for some kind of inter-
national organization for peace
full use of atomic energy.
Between the note in Novem-
Der. 1854, and the latest this
past September, great progress
had in fact been made toward
setting up an international
atomic energy agency.
United States officials say the
record shows that Russia has
gone along on the formation of
an international atoms-for-peace
agency mainly because of prod
ding by the United States and
the other Western powers and
only after extracting all possible
political and propaganda advan-
tageS.
The heart of the problem is
that while 30 nations, including
the United States and Russia,
are now meeting in New York
to form the projected new agency
for atomic power, the most hope
full estimates are that the agency
will not start operating before
June. 1857.
Smaller Nations Aided
Meanwhile. viewer, the
United States and Russia each
has made arrangements to
supply a number of smaller
nations with atomic materials
for research or power purposes.
One of the dangers raised by
this supply operation is that
such materials may be diverted
by some irresponsible govern
ment some time in the future
to military purposes.
That kind of bootlegging
operation has long been source
of concern to American leaders
and the proposal to the Soviets
to Standardize safeguards con-
stituted one attack on the prob
lem. Safeguards now being
written into the charter of the
atoms-for- peace agency consti-
tute another attack.
Since safeguards require some
kind Of inspection-which mean
foreign inspectors operating in
side sovereign countries - the
Soviets have repeatedly been
taking the line with small coun-
tries that the United States is
trying to NEEDLE in their in
ternal affairs. Authorities say
this does not mean, however,
that eventually the Russians will
not go along provided the United
States takes the lead in pushing
for safeguard.

 The course was supposed to have been a closed circuit over the Atlantic but the missile failed to go into the intended turn. It was under radar surveillance as far as the coast of South America.

BUDAPEST, Hungary, R-A new general strike and bloodshed in Hungary was threatened today.
 The Central Workers Council issued a proclamation warning the Soviet imposed government of Premier Janos Kadar that contin- uation of it's tactics against elect ed worker representatives would result in "a general strike, blood shed and a new national tragedy"
 The Central Workers Council has gradually emerged as the leadership of Hungarian anti-Ka dar, anti-Soviet feeling.
 Kadar's Support ShakY
 Kadar has so far turned down every demand of the council on behalf of the people and workers, but his own popular support has been so shaky that he has not dared openly to withdraw his recognition of the body as the negotiating agency for Budapest workers.
 The Hungarian people appeared to have recovered from the first shock of the smashing onslaught of Russian tanks of Nov. 4, and to be coming back strongly.
