'End of Era Reached' If Winnie Quits " By CHARLES M. McCANN United Press Staff Correspondent If , Sir Winston Churchill really does resign next month, Brttan win have reached the end of a political era. v N The Grand Old Man of the Con servative Party has- served ir the House of Commons in the reign cf six kings and queens. He announced this month that he has ordered the British manu facture of the H-bomb. As he spoke, he may have re membered that 57 years ago he took part in the last great cavalry charge in history. Well" Informed Sources The week-end reports that Chur chill has decided to quit in favor of Anthony Eden, may prove to be erroneous, as have so many such reports in the last few years. At least, this time the reports come from very well informed sources and at a time when a turnover in the Prime Ministry would be logical. The Labor Party is split be tween left and right wings. It faces a long period of bitter factional fighting. , Labor Party Split Under Churchill's Conservative government, Britain has prospered. Austerity has all but disappeared. If a general election were to be held within the next few months, a big Conservative victory might be expected. Hence there seems to be sense m the reports , that before he leaves for a holiday in Sicily April 6. Churchill will resign and Queen . Elizabeth will name Eden his suc cessor. Eden would be expected to ask the Queen to approve a general parliamentary election within a few months even within a few weeks, possibly, in view of the labor Party split." to Eden, whenever it comes, will be a historic one. In 1897, the year when Eden was born, Churchill fought in the first of the four wars in which he has been a combat officer. When Churchill was first elected to the House of Commons, Eden was three years old. When Eden entered Commons, In 1923, Churchill already had held eight separate Cabinet posts.

At least it looked thorough. Foil House Then he dealt himself a full house, aces and queens. Dealing from the bottom is child's play for him. Just for fun he dealt the four aces from the middle of the deck. You would have sworn they came off the top. MacDougall never realized what he was getting into when he picked up a few card tricks in col lege to amuse his friends. He be came a night club entertainer and toured 'South America. "The night clubs down there are gambling houses, too, ne said. "After my sleight of hand act I'd wander up to the gambling room and watch the . dealers. I learned a lot." The first person MacDougall ever exposed as a card cheat was an industrialist who had lost his money in the 1929 crash. He was trying to recoup at the bridge ta ble at a swank Long Island club. Club officials suspected the man and wanted him exposed, but wanted to avoid a scandal. So they hired MacDougall to give a lec ture on cheating. Exposed Cheater MacDougall exposed the meth od employed by the industrialist, who left midway through the demonstration and never re turned. A few years ago MacDougall was hired by some , Hollywood movie moguls who suspected they were being fleeced at gin rummy. MacDougall exposed the swindle, which depended more on memory than dexterity. Internal revenue agents estimat ed that the " three con men in volved got about three million dol lars from their two-year stay in Hollywood. . Not all of MacDougaU's cases have had a happy ending. He helped elect Albert Patterson at torney general of Alabama by proving that notorious Phenix City gambling houses used marked cards and doctored dice. Patterson subsequently was murdered. MacDougall has this sage ad vice for the unwary: "Trust the Lord, , but cut the cards." 0 CHOCOLATE CHERRIES Specially purchased with an eye to the best quality at this low price.
