General Motors continues to he the highest
bidder and get contracts despite that. Re-
cently, Puerto Rico asked bids on 50 buses.
Lowest bid was made by Mack Trucks. High-
est bid was by General Motors—$000 per
bus higher than Mack. General Motors got
the contract. Total extra cost to Puerto
Ricans: $45,000.’'
Gov. Munoz Marin, who has a spotless
record for honesty in government, read the
column in the San Juan Kl Imjiarcial, im-
mediately jumped into action,
the contract for school buses, ordered his
transportation authority to ask for new bids.
He went even further. His office took the
trouble to write a letter to this column ex-
pressing appreciation for calling the matter
to his attention.

—One Man’s Plea—
There was only one tense moment in the
otherwise outwardly calm Democratic closed-
door caucus. This was when West Virginia’s
Congressman Cleveland Hailey defied his
party’s leaders and forced them to permit
him to make a speech.
The genial Hailey conies from a part of
West Virginia suffering trugic unemploy-
ment in the coal mines. So he took Speaker
Sam Rayburn aside as the caucus opened and
warned that lie would propose to the full
caucus that it abolish the customary rule
limiting tlie meeting to tin* picking of lead-
ers. Such a motion would open the love feast
to wrangles over various thorny political
ijuest ions.
Inside Hailey’s pocket was the text of a
stirring speech on West Virginia. And this
threat was his way of telling Sam that he
meant to deliver it.
"I’ll never get all Lol of those fellows
together .train to it II them the sad economic
toi \ .,t my state,” Hailey told Speaker Ray-
urn k;

He was guided into the right de-
fease by Mr. Abel’s play at the
first trick. Here is what happen-
ed. Against the 3-no-trump con-
tract Mr Dale led thfc queen of clubs
Mr, Abel won with the ace. He. laid
down the king of diamonds and it
held the trick. Next he led a* low
diamond to the Jack.
Mr. Masters won it and prompt-
ly returned the deuce of spades,
whereup the defenders collected 4
tricks in that suit to beat' the con-
tract.
— NO HESITANCY —
Let’s look at the situation from
Mr. Masters’ point of view and
Hc cariccTcrl M’r wh>’ h<> h»d **> hesitancy in
shifting to his hopeless-looking
spade suit. Ho was surprised as
anyone when the lead turned out as
well as it did.
He didn't dream it Would set the
hand—he Just knew that any oth-
er lead was hopkMAi. On the bid-
ding and the play* of the diamonds
lie was convinced*’Mr. Abel had a
lot trircks in that suit after the ace
was knocked out*
It looked as though any tricks
the defenders could hope for had
to be cashed now before Mr. Abel
regained the lead.
Obviously, a heart return would
not let Mr Abel in And by infer-
ence. a club return would do the
same thing. We now go back to
the first trick which Mr Abel saw
lit to win with'the ace of clubs.
Who did he think he was fooling
with that play? Certainly not Mr
Masters.
— KING ON LEFT —
Mr Masters knew the king of

son is that if Mr Dales clubs had

"Divers have recovered s lot of
salvage In shallow water." Barber
Mid, "but they can't work effec
lively st depths of over 200 feet."
With their apparatus, he added,
they plan to probe depths of 1*00
feet ok more.
SUBMARINE RESCUE
The diving chamber, originally
invented by Justus to rescue men
trapped aboard sunken subma-
rines, is 15 feet high, tubutar-
shaped. with steel-hulled sides 11
inches thick and designed to with-
stand pressures at a depth ot 5,000
feet.
Inside the robot monster is an
Intricate control room large enough
for a four-man crew. The chamber
can propel itself underwater on the
end of a cable by mean* of pro-
pellers Installed 6n its sides.
Powerful lights and aonar will
locate the sunken object, Barber
said. Then a 12-foot movable
boom and two big clamshell doors
will tear away the sunken ship’s
hull.
"If we spot any treasure,” Jus-
tus added, "the boom will pick it
up and we'll return ot the surface."
Justus said he got the Idea for
the underwater robot In 1915 when
the new* was flashed that the
Unljed States Narvy's F-4 subma-
rine had gone down, trapping 81
men on the ocean bottom
He completed the bell in Bir-
mingham. Ala., during the 1930’s
only to have it rejected by Navy
officials. After World War II J^iS-
tus brought it to Miami and be-
ban alternations and modifications
to equip It for hunting treasures.
Both Justis and Barber are fa-
miliar with the pait failures of
treasure hunters who have spent
thetr lives and fortunes in unsuc-
cessful quests of sunken booty.
But they insist their expedition
will be no hlt-and-mlss affair. For
a year. Barber has poured over old
reports and books in libraries to
map spots where treasure is most
likely to be found
"We still work three four - man
crews in the bell around the clock,"
he says. "Some of the wrecks we
will go after have lain on the ocean
floor four of five hundred years
and will probably be encrusted with
colarl.”
The hunt will start off the, Flor
ida Keys, and, if successful, will
spread out to any areas where
deep water booty is known to lie
$39,9(te,0e« IN GOLD
Barber said that an example of
wrecks that have lain in water too
deep for divers to salvage, is the
Spanish galleon "Safita Rosa
which sank hundreds of years ago
off the Florida Keys with $30,000,-
000 in Aztec gold a board.
HAVE MAPS
Another $76,000,000 in pirate
gold us lying 40 miles off Pensacola
In a sunken ship of the famous
Jean La Fitte, Barber added. The
two treasure hunters have maps
pinpointing other spots where even
richer prizes are lying. *
"Were sure this is going to
work,' Barber said.

•N’ Trlfgsr .. . as prepared by
J* Fred Eder, United Frees out-
dors consultant,
January is the month in which
the hearth fire crackles and snaps
and the vnagmauve ramrod and
angler surrounds himself with
stacks of illustrated sporting goods
catalogs-
It is the time of year when those
who shared your hunting ard fish-
ing activities gather with you
around the crackling hearth to re-
live the past and plan and dream
of the future.
Most hunting seasons have ended,
particularly duck season. Possibly
the lightest harvest in many years
was taken among migratory wild-
fowl in the season just concluded,
natures way of balancing an un-
even cycle.
Although the season may have
been a disappointment to you, take
heart, for the break nature pro-
vided for Mr. Duck will defiimtely
show* up in the Northland breeding
grounds this spring and summer
and overall should mean a consi-
derable increase In the duck jxjpu-
latlon next season barring any un-
foieseen calamity during the sum-
mer months.
Some hunters are still grumbling
over the way nature "closed the
season,” so to apeak, this year.
Certainly weather ar.d many other
factors were unfavorable lor the
ntmrod, but most favorable loi Mr.
Duck.
If you are among the lucky ang-
ler.-, and nun rods who were favored
with items of sporting goods this
Christmas it is quite possible many
of the gadgets were fabricated from
plastics. The inroads the plastic
industry has made upon sporting
goods arc now numerous as well as
obvious.
Many of us can remember the
day when the celluloid collar was
the only example of synthetic plas-
tics.
As an industry, modern plastics
have skyrocketed. As materials for
everything from kitchenware to
automobiles they have touched ntf
a revolution in product develop-
ment and design that shows no
sign of abating.
Although their influence has been
tremendous In the sporting goods
field the things yet to come are
as exciting as a Comanche Indian
with a new repeating rifle! Keep
your eye on the marine field, where
plastics will soon take over.
Indications in this field point
toward a trend very similar to that
which occured in the casting rod
industry.
Now you can’t give a steel cast-
ing rod away.
Plastics have established them-
selves firmly and justly ao for the
cheaper fiber glass i plastic > rod is
far superior to any steel iod ever
made.
