remains largely just that, since
there have been no disclosures by
either Mr.. Nehru or Mr.. Eisen-
hover.
The President is reported to have
dictated, from memory, much of
the substance of the conversations
for the benefit of the National Sc
curity Council and the State De-
partment. In general, the talks
were apparently in the nature of
an exchange of national points-of-
view on major international prob
lens. The impression persists that
{ the two heads-of-state really did
ind important areas of agreement,
and that the Nehru visit did much
to clarity midas position in world
affairs and. by inference. to
strengthen American understand
ing Of the Indian standpoint.

The greatest political anticlimax
Of the quadrennium-the balloting
Of the Electoral College-last week
resulted in the election Of Dwight d.
Eisenhower as President and Rich
ard M. Nixon as Vice President.
The meeting Of presidential cleo
tors in their respective States on
the Monday following the second
Wednesday in December usually
goes unnoticed, for custom-though
not law-dictates that the electors
merely ratify the expression Of the
voters in the general election. But
this year, one Of the 531 electors
gave unexpected significance to the
balloting by breaking with custom
and voting for candidates other
than those favored by the voters
Of his State.
He was w. F. Turner, an elector
from Alabama. Fifty-six and one
half per cent Of Alabamians who
voted on November expressed a
preference for Presidential Candi-
date Adlai Stevenson, but Mr.. Tur-
ner cast his ballot-this year worth
1901 popular votes in Alabama
for Walter B. Jones, Montgomery
Judge, for President. and Georgia's
Herman Talmadge for Vice Presi-
dent. Said Elector Turner: Il have
fulfilled my obligations TO the peo-
pie Of Alabama. I'm talking about
the white people"
Mr.. Turner thus became the
fourth elector in history to dis
regard the wishes OF q majority Of
his States voters. Under the Con-
stitution, an elector may exercise

REVIEW OF THE WEEK
Broad Area Of Agreement

President Eisenhower, leader of
the most powerful nation of the
anti Communist West. and Java
harlal Nehru, principal "neutralist"
in the East-WeSt cold war and
chief spokesman for the potent
Afro-Asian bloc, discussed the prob
lens of a troubled world last week.
During three days here and q
full day in the wintry solitude of
the Presidents Gettysburg farm,
the two statesmen exchanged their
views on many matters. I'VE dis
cussed the past" said Mr.. Nehru
later, I'VE discussed the present,
We even had peep into the future"
The talks were in strict secrecy.
When asked by reporter what
two gentlemen meeting for IL
straight hours on rather muddy
Gettysburg farm could think to
talk about" the urbane Indian
leader replied with a twinkle: You
see. in India we are supposed to
be q people given to contemplation
and leisurely talks. Perhaps some
of that affected the President, too,
that day"
The communicate issued by the
White House shed little light.
Newsmen who knew Mr.. Nehru
from former associations noted,
however. that the Indian leader
was in high good humor when he
departed. Things must have gone
smoothly, they said.
The communique declared that
the two men were afforded an OPP
portunity for full and frank talks
on wide range of problems Of
interest and concern to both coun-
tries" These chats confirmed "a
broad area of agreement" between
India and the United States,
strong ties of friendship" and a
kinship of ideals based on COM
mon detectives and adherence
to the highest principals of free
democracy"
But the impact of Mr.. Nehru's
visit was more definite than the
generalities of the communique
suggested. After his return from
the Pennsylvania farm. he went on
television and radio to tell the
American people what he and his
country sought in the world.
He vigorously defended midas
neutral role in world affairs, point
ing out, as he has many times in
the past, that mon alignment in
any military or like pact or ALI
ance" was, for India, the only
course towpursue. But he assured
his American listeners that India
was firmly welded to the DEM
ocratic way of life, and in our
loyalty to this cause we will not
falter."

Red China Rumors

On the evening Of the Prime
Minister'S stay at Gettysburg, the
Capital was rife with reports that
Mr.. Nehru had urged Mr.. Eisen-
hover to agree to immediate talks
between Secretary of State Dulles
and Chou En-lai. Such talks have
long been sought by the Chinese
leader. and have been consistently
cold-shouldered by our State De-
partment which demands that the
Chinese Reds release all Americans
held in China and formally agree
to forego the use of force in the
settlement Of the Taiwan (For-
mosa) issue.
According to the reports, Mr..
Nehru's appeal was rejected by Mr..
Eisenhower. The President was
represented as taking the position
that there could be no compromises

A WORD
TO THE WISE
BOY AND GIRL
BY MRS. FRANK COLBY

The term ghost words" is
used to refer to those words in
our language which have COM
pletely changed from their orig
inal meanings, words which have
disappeared, except as parts of
other words, or accidental mall
formations.
For example. we say OF some
one who is peevishly dissatisfied
or is embitered by an embarass-
ing setback. He is disgruntled. +"
In disgruntled, the ghost word is
a now obsolete verb. to gruntle,
meaning Ito grunt; to COM
plain" Hence. disgruntled is
nonsense for dis-signifies re-
versal or negation; therefore one
who is disgruntled is not
gruntled"-not complaining.

AS usual, however, Mr.. Dale
knew what he was doing He
had a hand on which he would
have been willing to open the
bidding-and his partner had
shown a good hand by doubling
for a takeout. Therefore he felt
that game should be reached.
But where? Was it in spades, in
hearts, or in no-trump?
He wanted to bid both of his
major suits and yet he did not
particularly relish jumping the
bid in either Of them. He de-
cided the best thing to do was
TO make bid that was abSo-
lutely forcing. a bid that would
enable him and his partner to
test every possibility without
danger of having the bidding
dropped too soon.
The two-diamond call was
such a bid Usually a bid in
the opponents suit is a cue-bid,
promising first round control of
that suit. But when used in
response to a takeout double 1t
has no such meaning.
1t is simply a force, promising
nothing in the suit bid by the
enemy. 1t does infer that you
have a versatile hand, capable of
playing or supporting more than
one suit. 1t transfers the selec-
ton of a playable suit back to-
the doubler.
Note that Mr.. Dale could not
have made four hearts. But at
a spade contract Mrs. Keen was
able to make f1ve-odd. She ruffed
the second diamond lead and saw
that there was some work to be
done on the club suit before the
defenders trumps were ex-
tracted.
At the third trick. then. she
caShed dummy's ace of clubs and
followed with the trey. Mr.. Abel
won the second club with the
king and returned a high dia-
mond. Mrs. Keen ruffed again,
then cashed the ace and king
Of spades.
She entered dummy with the
ace of hearts and pulled the
last outstanding trump, discard
ing small heart from her hand.
The closed hand was now all
good and the king of hearts fur
niShed the necessary entry.
