Outfit which was headed Back to its bivouac area. The Gal was Stark naked and Der Wear and a helmet. They kept her in a garage and that a where i found her. Her i a a dirty Certie from Bizerte. I _ i and Kings to an army a big artillery. On certain types of Bridge hands he advised a a strategic Retreat tactics. A Declarer was to Ely a general who planned his Campaign according to the strength he held and what he believed the enemy had. He wrote most of his Bridge books Long before Aerial warfare had been developed to its present Hie state of indispensability but in a sure that were he to rewrite them he would put in Many card playing analogies to bombing expeditions and strafing sorties. Bored with Bridge be All that As it May the fact was that Ely Culbertson some five or six years ago became unspeakably bored with the whole business of Bridge and virtually ceased playing the game. He kept up his a a. G. M. Syndicated Bridge columns which continued to bring him in plenty of Cash he revised his books occasionally and he naturally held a few Bridge teachers conventions on and off. But All that took Little of his time and he retired to a showy estate in Connecticut where he was wont to Ponder deeper things than finesse squeezes and safety plays. Indeed the world began to weigh heavily on his shoulders. Ely Culbertson started on the Road to More serious things by writing his autobiography. It was a volume called a the strange lives of one Man a which surprised critics by being at the same time so Frank and so Good. The next step was to announce that he would run for Congress. Unfortunately the democratic state committee of Connecticut failed to see Eye to Eye with Ely on this matter and his Campaign Here was to understate the Case abortive. The first i knew that Ely Wai delving into  politic came in the summer of 1941, almost two years ago. I had returned from a Long swing around the Orient the Middle East and Australia and new zealand and Ely thought that amount of War time travelling ought to qualify anyone to pass judgment on what was then and now nearest to his heart. World plan Quot Bob a he said to me Over Long distance Telephone a a i have a plan. I have a plan to Settle the worlds problems after the War. Its too Long to explain Over the phone. Come on up and spend the week end and ill Tell you about  i went up and heard in detail elaborated with much theorizing what Ely has now at Long last got into print. I  attempt to put into this Small space what Ely spent two years to put into some 100,000 or More we ords. Suffice it to say that Ely would Divide the world into some six inter dependent parts that he would create International armies to insure future peace and that he would see that the worlds goods Are so arranged that no one sixth part would be lacking in the essentials of living. What was i to think of such a plan Ely was known As a Bridge expert. I told him he could never get people to take him seriously in any other Field. Of yes. He knew All about that he said. They a laugh at him at first. It d take him a Long time to live Down Bridge. But he  mind of they did crack Wise at first. It might even help if they did laugh because sooner or later they d take him seriously and then be d have the last laugh. Maybe Ely Hasni to quite yet got the last laugh. But what with readers digest and time among Many others taking him seriously he can at least now do a Lttie quiet chuckling. A Kobert Neville
