Actually it's not the difference
between a hard and soft "g''
for a singer" with a soft "g''
would be a person who singes
clothes while ironing. What you
do. however, is to hold the "g''
longer than they, making the
word sound like sing-ger. This
is regional pronunciation very
common to the New York met
ropolitan area. Careful speak

Opening lead: King of hearts.

When this hand came along
in q tournament some years
ago, many players won the first
trick in dummy with the ace
of hearts and tried to decide
what to discard on it.
Naturally these players dis
carded the jack of spades, hop
ing that the 10 of diamonds
would win a trick by itself later
on. Then they cashed the ace
of clubs, drew trumps, and
went down one trick when the
diamonds failed to break.
Very sad, of course, and the
complaints about bad luck were
enough to turn the strongest
stomach. The odds were in
favor Of the jack of diamonds
dropping, they pointed out, and
the odds were against the
queen Of spades dropping. They
had made the percentage"
play, but fate had betrayed
them.
No Complaint
Harry FiShbein, veteran
bridge star, made no complaint.
Instead he made seven clubs.
Fishbein ruffed the opening
heart lead. Then he cautiously
led out the ace of spades. Moth
ing happened. He tried the king
of spades, intending to get rid
Of the jack Of spades on

Mrs. Laurette c. Hupman was

worried.
For over an hour she had been
trying to call her sister in East

urgent matter. But her only am

Then she explained her prob

Miss Lenhardt checked i'm
mediately and found the call
couldn't get through because the
receiver had been left of the

Working through the Tele-
phone Company toll station serv-

systematic search for nearby tele-
phones. trying to locate someone
who could notify Mrs. Hup-
mans sister that an important
call was waiting.
It took more than 10 calls, but
her persistent sleuthing finally
paid off. And a vastly relieved
Mrs. Hupman got her call

To Wilt in Board Row

and had as his chief interest
the purge of some teachers.
In his second statement this
week, the school board member
said his Interpretation of ''ru-
mors regarding Arlington
school board appointments"
was incorrect. 1t now is clear
to him, he said, that if Mr.. Wilt
joins the school board, he will
replace Mrs. Edmund D. Camp
bell, who announced her retire
ment plans some time ago.
Mr.. Joy added: He CMr.
Wilt has expressed a sincere
interest in school problems and
there is no reason to expect
that his health or vacation
plans would interfere with his
performance or the response
bilities of school board mem
bership."
Mr.. Joy said also he has
apologized to Mr.. Wilt for "the
hasty statement"
In the meantime, County
Board Member Roye L. Lowery
said the board has postponed

The Prince Georges County
Boys Clubs, Inc, has ordered
migration and abandoned any
rules and regulations designed
to maintain segregation in
sports programs.
The surprise action came
last night at a meeting Of the
clubs board of directors, which
was beset with controversy last
month when its president, Jack
I. Resnecoff, resigned over
segregated sports under the
boards leadership.
A motion adopted by a ma
iority of board members said
that any qualified person in
the county would be accepted
and that all athletic events
would be scheduled without
reference to race.
1t was learned that the boys

Barnard NJ. Joy. a veteran
member of the Arlington School
Board, has apologized to county
board member Ernest D. Wilt
for "hasty" criticism of Mr..
Wilt in an argument that de-
veloped this week over ap-
pointments to the school board.
Mr.. Joy issued a statement
Tuesday defending his qualifi-
cations for reappointment to
the school board in answer to
reports that the board intended
to drop him despite Is years of
service on the lesser board. At
the same time, it appeared the
board was ready to appoint its
own retiring member, Mr.. Wilt,
to the school board as one of
three appointments to be made
tomorrow.
MIR. Joy singled out the
county board member Tuesday
as his apparent rival for one
Of the school board seats, and
implied Mr.. Wilt would devote
little time to the school board

ALEXANDRIA Y
KEEPS POLICY

The decision of the Prince
Georges Boys Clubs, Inc. to
desegregate their sports pro-
grams, will not affect the
segregation policy Of the Alex
andria YMCA, James NJ.
Thomson, chairman Of the US
trustees committee, said today.
Mr.. Thomson, an Alexandria
delegate to the General Assem-
bly,, added that threats by the
United Givers Fund to cut off
funds to the Y and appeals by
the Metropolitan YMCA board
of directors to integrate will
make no difference.
AS a result of the Prince
Georges Boys Clubs decision,
the Alexandria YMCA is the
only remaining area organiza-
ton participating in UGF and
practicing racial diScrimina-
ton.
The question of desegregat-
ing has been put to a vote be-
fore the YMCA committee of
management four times. Mr..
Thomson said. II personally
believe the policy will remain
the same for the foreseeable
future"
He said, There is no great
public demand here to inte-
CRATE except from civil rights
leaders, none of whom did a
thing to help the YMCA in
Alexandria get started"
He also disclosed that Alex
andria Mayor Frank E. Mann
has asked him two or three

zation. The pleas were rejected,
