fascism and communism, some
thing worthwhile might arise.
But II we reason along these
lines, we may find that we are
destroying ourselves.
The prime example Of the dead
end that this reasoning leads to
was the recent outburst Of John
Osborne, the raging young writer,
who said there Is murder in my
brain and a knife in my heart for
everyone Of you" who has "defiled"
Britain by daring to suggest a de-
Tense Of Berlin.
II would willingly watch you
all die for the West, If only could
keep my own miniscule portion Of
it," Osborne wrote from the COM
forts of the Riviera.
OF course 1t Is very hard for
us to rise above our hates. The
thought of revenge is so enjoyable.
Watching Eichmann squirm, see
ing Germans behind barricades
and barbed wire may give SUBJ
terranean pleasure to those who
UNDERSTANDABLE look back in anger.
But If we are to look to the
future, with calm and determine
ton, there Is no time to indulge
these bitter memories. We cannot
afford this luxury any more than
we could afford NOT to have the
Soviet Union as our ally against
Hitler, even though the bloodiness
of Stalinism was already apparent.
We needed the Russians then and
we need the Germans now-even
though the leaders of both nations
have not always been endowed
with the qualities Of angels.
TIL e IMPERFECT AMERI-
CANS - For that matter there
may be Europeans who ask why
they should be allies Of the United
States-a nation seemingly 50 weak
that a Mccarthy was allowed to
run wild, a nation apparently so
impotent that segregationists
still go on defying the courts; a
us. that tolerates murder on the
New York waterfront and xxx
mobs to incite race riots
Are we so much better than
the Germans that we can look
down upon them? Are the Ger
mans dependable because they
were paraIyzed in the fight
against Hitlerism?
why die for Danzig?" the
Nazis asked. who wants to fight
for Berlin?" the Communists now
ask.
But it was not Danzig then and
it is not only Berlin now. What is
at stake is our own freedom, our
own way of life, even with all its
imperfectons.

present crisis would do well to re-
member that there are hundreds
of thousands of men and women
in the West who cannot easily
make the emotional readjustment
that the present situation demands.
For them, Hitler was not merely
Hitler. He was Germany and all
Germans.
When Menshikov says Ameri-
cans will not fight for Berlin, he
is playing on this lingering re-
sentiment. It is a clever propa-
ganda point and the Russians I'M
doubtedly will utilize it to the ut
most.
There are, Of course, many as
poets to the so-called German
problem" but this feeling is deep
and one Of the most difficult to
resolve. When Khrushchev shut the
border between the two Berlins
there were those who felt the
Germans had it coming to them.
After all, they are Germans"
many said. why should we do
anything for them?"
That question Is usually fol-
lowed by q long recitation Of
German Indifference to the suf-
fering of others when their mill
Itarists were striding the world.
We are reminded Of the persecu-
ton Of non-cOnfOrmists and art
lists, Of the burning Of books
and their apparent affinity for
right-wing reaction.
1t is a powerful argument, but
submit, it is a dangerous one.
If we look only to the past, our
failure to act could be more costly
to US and all democratic institu-
tons than many now seem able to
realize. What the Communists are
using, with a new twist, is the old
Nazi line, why die for Danzig?"
But If we had stood up against
Hitler's aggression at almost any
early stage of his march against
Europe, 1t is reasonable to be-
neve he could have been stopped
short of war. George KEENAN,
points out in his brilliant Russia
and the West under Lenin and
Stain that we now know the
Munich giveaway was unnecessary
because the Czech army was very
strong and the German generals
were actually ready to remove
Hitler rather than go to war.

His story has been carried
around the world and he is
known by different names in
different countries. In Ger
many, he is Kris Kringle,
which means Christ Child.
In Holland, he is known as
SAINT Nikolaas, and it was
the early Dutch colonists who
brought the story to our
country. SAINT Nikolaas be-
came Santa Claus.
Years ago in some Of the
European countries, Deem
Der 6 was the feast of St.
Nicholas and was celebrated
by gift giving. Later, in many
places, to identify the happy
occasion with the birth of
our Infant Savior, it was
changed to Christmas.

probably you seem never to
have enough overtops to wear
over your bathing suit, shorts
or pants. I've given up
lounging in the sun for hours
and hours, because I've
learned that it does abso-
lutely nothing to beautify
my skin. In fact, I can't
think Of anything more
ghastly than a dark leathery
back and shoulders.
So, have lots of little tops
on hand. You'll need a fresh,
clean one ready at all times
if you use sun tan lotions
and If you perspire.
The colors given below are
the ones I used, but you can
choose any combination you
wish. On the bottom right

Match them to the pattern

FAMOUS FABLES

RESTRICTIONS: President
Theodore Roosevelt hated
red tape. Whenever he felt
that he was ethically right.
he would try to circumvent
legal restrictions and proceed
full steam ahead. relates Ed
ward Wagenknecht In "The
Seven Worlds Of Theodore
Roosevelt"
"Once, having asked and
taken a Senator's advice on
a legal matter, Roosevelt told
him he wished he had him In
his cabinet.
What I need said Roose-
welt, is a great constitution
al lawyer right at my side

Opening lead: Diamond king

Opening lead: Diamond king.
There's no doubt that South
was too high at six clubs. A
spade lead would have settled
his hash right away. But who
could find a spade lead with
the West hand?
AS it happened, West led the
king Of diamonds, and South
had a chance to make his slam.
South counted five h cart
tricks and the ace of diamonds
as his tricks in the side suits.
That left him in need Of six
trump tricks to make the slam.
Places Diamonds
South mentally placed eight
diamonds in the West hand
for the vulnerable leap to five
diamonds. This meant that
East would be ready to over
ruff If dummy ruffed q dia-
mond with a low trump.
It was a cinch that East
had more trumps than West,
Therefore East was far more
likely than West to have the
ten Of clubs. South had to
plan to ruff diamonds in
dummy with the ace and
queen, and he still had to draw
trumps and pick up the ten
Of clubs.
After careful consideration,
South led a diamond and
ruffed in dummy with the
queen. He returned q low
trump from dummy and fi-
messed the nine from his hand.
When this deep finesse held, =,
South was practically home.
He ruffed another diamond
with the ace Of trumps and.
returned q trump to finessel
the eight. Then he could draw
two more rounds Of trumpg
and run the five hearts to,
win the first twelve tricks.
I still think shutout bids are
wonderful weapons, but have.
to admit that they sometimes
cut the wrong way.
