WASHINGTON, Feb. 20 (U. P.) .— Maj. Gen. Carl Spaatz, commander of the U.

Next for the young singer probably will be “Make Way for the Commandos.” Where are all those morale films the Government and Hollywood were going to turn out? Or have they gone the way of Donald Duck of the OCD budget trouble? If money is to be spent for morale, the movies would be a wise choice. For instance, in case of a bombing raid, do you at this instance know where you'd go or what you'd do? No? A movie could illustrate a lot of things we need to be told.

BENJAMIN PARRONCHI, the little man who gets ruby tones from a cello, was infuriated by the review The Times’ Mr. Budrow gave him after the last “pop” concert a week ago last Sunday. Clipping in hand, he sped up to Director Sevitzky and wanted to know what could be done. Why did they say such things about him?

The maestro took a look at the article. “Mr. Parronchi,” Sevitzky, or something like it, “you have received a fine review. Besides, you have got your name in black type. You should be thankful.” Mr, Parronchi wilted. Later he explained in his tilted Spanish accent: “Some of those beeg words, I did not know what they mean. But now I am happy. I frame the article.” The orchestra management and Mr. Budrow are chuckling. The plaint of a press agent: “My wife is going to have a baby. I've spent too much money the last two years. The war js driving me crazy. “And I'm supposed to think up a funny gag for a motion picture. I'm done.” Which reminds one that gagmakers have one of the toughest Jobs going today. Here's what they've got to consider: Is this the time for comedy? - If we make a joke about the war, will somebody think we're taking it too lightly? If we don’t, will they think we should?

Gin Rummy—No. 4 From Two fo Five Pairs On a Side May Compete

By WILLIAM E. McKENNEY America’s Card Authority

GIN RUMMY makes a lively and.entertaining team game, and is so played at many card tables. Any convenient number of pairs may

on each, side is the same. Matches

with from two to five pairs per side have been played, but the commonest match is between just two pairs. To explain how such a match is played, let us call the four players

the partnership AB is credited with 5 points for that hand. ; 2 = ” THE PLAYERS who finish play first may then advise their partners, who are still playing. Of course, this privilege may not be exercised by a player who has seen an adverse hand.

player may not ‘“count out” as he does in some two-handed games. For example, suppose that AB have a total of 120 points. In the next hand, A-and D finish first, and A wins 9 points. His side does not thereby “count out” and win the game. Game can be won only atter the score from both matches is taken into account. Should B now lose by 5 paints to C, AB would win only 4 points net and would remain a point short of game. THE END
