Overseas Mailing t Parkers Aa9 Tkuq Stole, Mrs. Roosevelt Depicts Darker Side Of Warfare By HELEN ESSAKY Central Press Columnist Washington. Oct. 20. — A few months ago I wrote a sharp criticism of Mrs. Roosevelt. In one or her newspaper columns she had described a visit to a west coast hospital. Her acceptance of the suffering of maim ed fighting men seemed to me both heartless and shocking. Today, 1 could not write another such criticism of Mrs. Roosevelt. It isn't that I have changed my own at titude towaid war, its supidity and tragedy. Or that I wish to say: "Mrs. Roosevelt is the sort of First Lady the country needs for another four years." It is that Mrs. Roosevelt has chan ged. There is a new Eleanor Roose velt. A war-sick, heart-sick Eleanor Roosevelt. You yourself may have discovered this new Eleanor Roosevelt in her own newspaper columns. You may Marian Martin —Pattern— Ruffles on a swirly skirted pin afore, ruffles on a saucy puff-sleeve frock.

Y. have listened to her on the air. You may have .-ecu her somewhere on a train or on a lecture platform. I glimpsed her when she held her first press conference after her re turn from the South' Pacific. I re cognized her completely when she talked to the Red Cross cn:-gres.\ional ladies in the Coolidge auditorium of the Library of Congress. This new Eleanor Roosevelt talked of the war, not in terms of generals and guns. She talked in terms of suf fering, frightened boys ner>cs and victims of our struggle against the enemy. Three weeks ngn win ■ i I mentioned that Inst pi ess^confcrciice glimpse or the new Eleanor Roosevelt to several liie-ids. I said. "Mrs. Ko..se\cll ha eome back subdued anil deeply thougiitlul. That old exuberance is gone." "Don't be sentimental." 1 was told. "She is just tired. A 2l).00il-:iiile trip is a chore even for her. She'll be her old conlident self ag&in before you ••an say 'Fourth Term'." She isn't her o'd confident self again. Mumility has taken ihe n!a-> of intrepidity. The /.est f-u life" that sometimes turned into rashness and got into (he joke books is gone. The onre dauntless Mrs. Roosevelt i Lowed down with t!ie reality rf what she saw on that Inns journey. The simple, terrible picture she gave her Coolidge a u d i t o r i u m audience of courageous young Americans, homes'ck and ill in hos pitals on far-away islands. And her stories of the "exhausted"! "Shell shocked' was the term in Ihe war for those stricken in nerves and mind. Of one of ihe "exhausted" she re peated an incido.it that made her listeners ill with liorrOr and helpless ness. A Red Cross girl w< ru'v wrs sent to help .1 boy, huddled with bent head. in a camn lar from civilization. The hoy Was sick in mind and heart. He had not spoken for days. Tne Ret Cross worker honed she could dis cover what particular misery was making Ivm dumb. "You must-'t reel so badly." -he I said "It's time to ho happy. S >011 I you'll be going home." "That's it!" cried tie* bnv. "It's home." His voicc was thick with des pair. "I can't go home." "You can't so home! Why. home is the best place in the world." "Don't vim see—" said the boy. "I'm not fit to go home!" "Nol fit to gn home' You've been one of the bravest men out Here." "I can't go home. I tell y >u. For five months I've done nothing but kill. I'm r.ot good enough for home." He covered his face with his hands. "For five months I've done nothing but kill." "Please, please don't feel that way. You have had to lyll. Everybody knowi you iiave had to kill. It was your job. You had to do it to get this awful war over. The people at home will understand what you have been through. They'll be so glad to have von back. They'll not ask what you did " "Then you don't think they'll f ltd a change in me?" The sound of ;• little hope was in the bovs voce. "Certainly tlie.v won't think you've changed. They'll see a strosg, brave man coming back. Besides they them selves may have charged a little. Perhaps you'll go home to a different world lor the one you left. II will !>-• a world that will appreciate w'|it you have done." "We have jot to do somethirg about that world." said Mrs. Roi.-e vclt. solemnly ci-ncluding her talk. "We have got to see that the world the.se men come back lo is worth Ihe sacrifice they have made." I haven't quoted Mrs. Roosevelt exactly. 1 couldn't take notes a> she talked. I was too disturbed. Her words were better, more real than mine. She was completely sincere. BARCLAY ON BRIDGE By Shepard Barclay "Tha Authority on Authorities" LATE FORCE—LONG StTT WHEN YOU make a bid which guarantees game strength on your very first chance to call, such as an original two bid of a suit or a single jump jDver your partner's opening bid. you advertise a hand which is powerful generally, with a large share of high cards. But if you make some kind of minimum call on your first turn and then later Jump one level to indicate game-going ability, you proclaim a hand favored with wonderful distributional values or great suit length, but not so extra strong in high cards. \ ♦ 8 ' * V 8 3 2 ♦ 10 A 7 j +KQ10542 + KQ97643 V A K J 7 6 4 None ^ (Dealer: South.

That enabled South at Table 2 to have a game, whereas the chap at Table 1 was set a trick doubled. A study of both bidding se juenrta will disclose several in teresting facts At the first table, South's 2-Spailc opening warned East not to enter the auction at all. and made it simple for him to adopt watting tactics until his op ponents got too higl\ where ho sand-bagged them. At Che second table, it was easy for East to show his diamonds as an overcall at the range of two without any particu lar fear, and also West was able to denote his fine fit with the suit. As it eventuated, a sacrifice of 5-Diamonds would have paid East at the second table, but he re frained from it because he thought he saw a good chance to set the 4-Hearts. 1 But the principal difference In the bidding tactics between tho two Souths was in the way tho first one made his hand seem powerful in high cards, whereas the second gave a much more ac curate picture of fair honor strength and great suit lengths. « • • • Tomorrow's Problem 4 A K 9 3 ¥Q J 4 + 83 + J 6 5 2 4 J 10 7 4 » 7 5 ♦ 0 5 4> K 10 0 4 ♦ Q 8 « V K 10 ♦ A K Q 9 6 2 + 8 3 ♦ •1 V A 0 8 6 3 3 ♦ 10 7 4 + AQ7 (Dealer; South.
