United Nations New Economic Aid
Commissions Aid To Africa Due For
Early Unwrapping, Ethiopian Capital
See Aid Spreading Cheer To Thousands Of
African Families For Many Coming Years

Adds Ababa, Ethiopia, Dec. rs.
-Africa's Christmas this year is
being marked by the delivery of
a somewhat unusual present.
1t comes from the United Ma
tions and it is the new Economic
Commission for Africa due to be
unwrapped in few days in the
Ethiopian capital of Adds Ababa.
To some this may appear a
rather dull sounding sort of pres
ent. But its Inauguration could be
one of the brightest bits of news
out of Africa this year, spreading
cheer to thousands of African
families for many years to come.
The commission has yet to get
rolling, of course, but it could just
be the long-sought key to the dra-
matte economic development Of
which Africa is capable and which
now is sorely needed to keep pace
with the breath-taking political
progress already under way.
Although the commission was
set up earlier this year by the
UN, the Adds Ababa meeting is
really its unwilling. It's member
ship is made up of all powers with
territories in Africa, as well as all
independent African states - the
number of which is steadily in
creasing.
The Union OF South Africa has
for the moment, however, declined
to take a seat on the commission.
Officially, the view has been ad-
vanced by South Africa that there
are other agencies engaged in At
rican development and that the

QUESTION: Is the following
correct? IF. however, in en-
forcing the order anyone uses
harsher measures than is nee
essary to remove the person,
the courts have held that he,
and he alone. is liable for

ANSWER: The late Henry
Martyr Robert, or, more likely,
the editor of the revision of his
great book, was out of order on
this one. Clearly the ante
cedent of sis necessary" is the

QUESTION: To settle a dis
pute, how do you pronounce
"superfuous"? Please make it
plain.-C.L.F., Arapahoe. Neb
ANSWER: The preferred
pronunciation is soo-PER- foo
us. The pronunciation Syoo-
PER foo us is sometimes
heard, especially in Britain, but
sounds affected to American
ears.
The late Frank Colby in his
American Pronouncing Die
tionary warned against the
pronunciation soo-per-FLOO-
us. Apparently his warning was
effective, since I've never
heard this pronunciation, ex-
cept from entertainers who de-
liberately distort pronuncia-
tons for comic effect.

South won the first trick with
the ace Of spades and lost a
club trick to East's ace. Back
came a club to dummy's queen.
Now South missed the right
lead. He cashed the top dia-
monds and gave up a diamond.
East discarded a spade on his
partners good jack of dia-
monds.
West promptly led the queen
Of diamonds. South saw that
a low ruff in dummy would be
overruffed and feared that a
ruff with the jack Of hearts
would set up a trump trick for
East. Declarer therefore dis
carded dummy's low club in
stead of ruffing.
It was a good idea, but 1t
didn't work. East discarded
the ten of clubs to keep his
overruffing position. west
promptly led the nine Of clubs
and the contract was unmak-
able. One way or the other,
East was sure to get q trump
trick.

Must Ruff Spades

South can make his contract
by the beginners method of
rufing spades in his own hand.
Declarer wins the first spade,
knocks out the ace Of clubs and
wins the third trick with dunn
my's queen Of clubs. He then
ruffs a spade with the deuce
of trumps. South continues
with the ace and king Of dia-
monds. Then he rufus another
spade, this time with the three
Of hearts.
Now South can afford to give
up a diamond. He can later
ruff his last diamond with
dummy's jack Of hearts to make
sure Of ten tricks-five trumps
in his own hand, one trump in
dummy, and the four high
cards in the side suits. At the
end East has a good trump and
West has a high club, but they
both fall on the same trick.
