The requirements Of national
security have been sacrificed on
the altar of political expediency
and the desire of the Admins
tration to put budget ceilings on
a higher priority than national
defense.
"Humiliating defeats for our
prestige at home and abroad, both
through Rusaia's successful
launching of an outerspace satel-
lite while we bubble and squab-
BILE. and the national shame and
international tragedy Of our trout

the inaction and indecision at
the White House in every as
pect of the public's interest -
the tragic price we are paying
for the Republican formula of
trying to substitute popularity
for leadership.

nor Faubus, the troops will be
here turnout the school term Of
ST and SO, because he says there
will be no attending Central
hi school by Negroes without the
presence Of the troops.
From what this writer has been
able to gather from the Negro
citizenry, the troops in the city
are very much welcome. It is
felt that the relationship between
the races that has set the capital
city of Arkansas up as a utopia
among southern cities has been
completely upset by the sage OF
Greasy Creek. whom Sid McMath
introduced to civilization by
one-Way deal.
The nine Negro students who
are making history in Little
Rock, are also making a head
way in "democracizing'' many OF
their schoolmates who were poi
soned by the innate prejudice Of
their parents. according to reports
emanating from the classrooms of
Central hi.
An interview by this writer
with several of the white stu
dents who are fortunate enough
to not need the luxury of seq
regation, to distinguish them as
human beings, reveals the fact
that, the row over school integra-
tiontion was just as unnecessary
as it was unfortunate. 1t is the
coneensus of opinion that inte-
grafton in the school would have
gone along smoothly if it had
been left to those who are ac-
tually involved. Many students
are as critical Of their parents
for absorbing the "hogwash" OF
Faubu1, as they are of Faubus,
for bringing disgrace upon their
school in the eyesight of the
world.
Many of the students, express
ed a belief, that even now, If
Taubus would stop his words Of
suggestion of trouble, it would
not take too long for the popu-
lace of Little Rock to regain the
status in race relationship
of which it was once so proud,
On the other hand there are
others, even in the minority
who still worship the man who
has wrought havoc on a COM
munity, where even the majority
must suffer the embarrassment
for the action of such a small
few.
With this division in opinions

WORDS, WIT
AND WISDOM
BY WILLIAM MORRIS

Question-Now that Metro
Goldwyn-Mayer has released its
backlog of motion pictures to-
television, Leo the lion is be-
coming a fairly regular visitor in
our living room. If you're blessed
with 1920 vision, you can barely
make out the Latin motto that
appears on the screen at the
beginning. 1t reads "ArS Gratia
Arts" and we have been having
a family argument about what it
means. My husband, who at
tended Boston Latin School 40
years ago and thus qualities in
his own mind as a Latin expert,
says it means "Art-be thankful
for art!" Would you mind tell
ing us what it really means?-I
Mrs. B. C. B., Oakland, Calf.
Answer-Your husband could
stand a refresher course on his
Latin, Madam The phrase
really means art for arts sake"
"a motto which seems wildly
irrelevant when you think of the
millions paid for this art" by
the television sponsors.
Question - Where did the
phrase "artesian we'll" come
from? Does the word "artesian"
refer to the narrow pipe used?
&C. B., Milwaukee.
Answer-No, this we'll gets its
name from Artois, formerly al
province in Northern France,
where such wells we're first
drilled. Actually the spelling
"artesian" comes from the old
French name of the province,
"Arteis." An artesian we'll is. of
course, one which is drilled
through one or more imperme-
able strata until water or oil is
reached, whereupon the fluid
spurts up, forced by underground
pressure.
Question-Is there any con-
nection between gin" the liquor
and gin" the cotton cleaning
machine?-B. L. Waterbury,

Answer-No. The gin which

name from the Middle English
contraction of the old French

For example. he recently de-
Nvered an unsolicited lecture on
the subject of safety plays in
the trump suit. He told Mr..
Muzzy that with a nine-card
trump suit. missing only the jack
and three small cards. it is al
ways best to lead first to top
honors from the hand holding
two of the top three honors.
Unfortunately Mr.. Muzzy took
this to heart. At least he remem-
bered his Interpretation Of it..
In today's deal the defenders
took the first three tricks in the
diamond suit. Mr.. Abel won the
third trick and shifted to the
10 Of spades.
This was won on the board
with the ace and now Mr.. MuzZy
led a small heart and put up the
ace after Mr.. Abel followed suit
with the deuce. At this point
there was no way to avoid the
loss of a trump trick and the
contract was down one.
Left to his own devices Mr..
Muzzy undoubtedly would have
led the first heart at random.
He might have played the ace
first, just as he did, or he might
have led the dummy's king first.
There would have been a $3.50
chance Of this making the win
ming play. All Mr.. Heinsite's lee
ture did was to reduce those
chances to exactly zero.
If Mr.. Abel had held J-4-3-2 in
hearts. then Of course the right
play would have been to lead the
ace of hearts first. This would
have made sure that no heart
trick would be lost.
When the jack, 10 and two
small cards are out against you.
however, that is another matter.
1t was impossible for Mr.. Muzzy
to protect himself against all
four hearts on his left. The right
play with this combination is to
play first the high honor from
the hand with one big honor. in
this case the king Of hearts from
dummy.
If Mr.. Muzzy had won the
fourth trick with the king of
spades in his hand then, led a
low heart to dummy's king. he
would have made his contract.
Mrs. Keen would have showed
out on the first heart lead. On
the heart return Mr.. Abel would
have had to play the 10 to pre-
vent the eight from winning.
After winning with the queen
Mr.. Muzzy could have entered
dummy with the ace of spades
and jed a third heart to capture
the jack with ease and bring in
the trump suit without loss.
