that the quota should be larger

in all cases went for the 21,500

down.
The part of the country most
hospitable to refugee Hungarians
is not the East. where the largest

the Far West. Figures for the

Many noble sentiments have
been expressed in America about
the bravery of the Hungarians
In their battle against Soviet
Communist tyranny. Presumably
we mean what we say. But are
We, in America. eager to provide
o refuge for those Hungarians
on the soil of the United States?
The answer seems to be that we
are willing up to a point, but not
exactly eager.
The question asked of sample
of the public last month was
simple. 1t merely wanted to
know how many refugees from
Hungary the American people
felt this country should accept
The 21,500 originally specified
by President Eisenhower? Oh

Majority Accepts
Merger Proposal

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 9 (P)
The Presbyterian Church in
the United States of Americs
announced today that the re-
Iquired majority of its Presby-
teries had approved proposed
merger with the United Pres
byterian Church.
Each of the 161 Presbyteries

Voting will continue among the
81 Presbyteries until the time OF
the 169th general assembly OF
the church at Omaha. Nebr.

But the result already has
been assured and merger seems
likely. In the Presbyterian
Church in the United States OF
America, a majority vote of Pres
Ibyteries is required. In the
United Presbyterian Church ap-
lproval must be given by a ma
Ijority of individual votes. About
one-fourth of the Presbyteries in

He got the faborable opening
Of the duece Of clubs and won
with the king over Mr.. Meek's
queen. But he failed TO take
advantage Of this, break.
At a no-trump contract it is
usually best to start setting up
your longest suit first for the
simple reason that it offers the
greatest number of potential
tricks. However. potential tricks
are not entered on the score
sheet. They must be converted
into actual winners and you
must have time to do the con-
verting.
Time ran out on Mr.. Abel in
this deal. The way he saw it,
he could win four diamonds. the
club already in, and four
spades If the spade suit broke
80. The odds in favor of this
spade break we're good. but
that wasn't the whole story in
this case.
At trick two Mr.. Abel led
q spade and ducked in dummy.
Mr.. Meek won with the 10 and
returned a club. Mr.. Dale COL
lected three club tricks and on
the last one Mr.. Meek flashed
the eight of hearts. The re-
sulting heart lead to the ace
set the contract.
The spades had broken evenly
as expected and Mr.. Abel had
his nine winners all set up. The
trouble was that the defenders
took five tricks first.
If he is going to bid ag-
excessively, he must learn to
plan his play better. Unless a
miracle happened, he knew he
would have to lose three clubs
and the ace of hearts. OBJ
viously, then, he could not af-
ford to lose any spades at all
His right lead at trick two
was the jack Of hearts. He had
seven top tricks in the other
three suits and he could win
two heart tricks If the queen of
that suit was on his left. This
was a $3.50 chance. whereas
the line of play he chose Of
fered something like a zero

Newspapers and magazines
have been giving attention to
the efforts in British courts to
overthrow the will of George
Bernard Shaw who defied con-
Vention and tried to effect his
own personal, private revoIu-
ton in language. The provi-
sions of his legacy to a Ian
guage reform movement are
rather intricate. In essence, he
wanted to foster a move to add
several new letters to our alph-
abet, eliminate some he felt
are unnecessary and establish
more logical pattern of English
spelling.
Most comment on Shaw's
proposals treat them as some
thing new. Actually Shaw is
