without signing off. West could
see no minor suit losers. The 2
Spades call from partner should
mean at least 6 spades to 40 or
5 spades with more honors Part
ner could not well hold more than
8 hearts, the way he was bidding,
so West clearly visioned IL safe
tricks at least, so he bid 6-Spades.
East felt that if partner could
jump into small slam after learn
ing that East held 2-Spade over
call of Heart, and the side AK
of diamonds, there should be a
grand slam with so many spade
honors and single heart, so he
bid 7-Spades, as only a business
risk. He could not imagine West
bidding the small slam without the
AK Of hearts and more than two
diamonds, unless he held the Q of
that suit to three. Also he could
not have more than two clubs, un-
less he held the unshown @. It
was splendid card reading.
East displayed admirable eau
ton In playing the hand. The
opening lead was the 2 of hearts.
Dummy's K won. The of spades
was led, and won with the 10.
When the 8 fell it marked two
more trumps in the North hand,
in all probability The Ace and K
of clubs were taken. Declarer dis
carded club on lead Of durnny's
Ace Of hearts. A diamond put de-
clarer in with his K. Dummy
ruffed declarer's last club, with the
8 of spades. A diamond put de-
clarer in with his Ace. Dumrny's
K Of spades was used to ruff de-
clarer's last diamond, leaving de-
clarer nothing but four top spades.
Dummy's last trump was led and
declarer ran off his last four tricks
for q grand slam.

PANAMA PACT
MAKESU.S :.
'NEIGHB0R'
BY KINGSBURY SMITH
International News Service

With remuneration Of the right
to intervene in Panama to main
tain law and order, the United
States Government today re-
moved the last obstacle to COM
plete fulfillment Of President
Roosevelt's good neighbor" r"
policy of non.intervention in the
internal affairs Of the Latin
American nations.
Panama was the last Latin
American republic in which this
country reserved the right to in
tervene for the protection Of its
interests.
Army, Navy Opposed
There was reason to believe,
however, that the State Depart
ment's action in renouncing the
right to intervene for the main
tenance of law and order In
Panama did not meet with the
full approval of the Army and
Navy.
Some fear prevailed that re-
nunciation Of that right might
prove an incentive to political
elements in Panama to resort to
the disorders which are a FIRE
quent occurrence in the internal
affairs of the Latin American
republics generally.
Both the Army and Navy main
tanned the position that irreSpec-
tive Of what the State Depart
ment might or might not promise
Panama in respect to noninter-
vention, the military and naval
forces would take whatever meas
ures were deemed essential for
the adequate protection Of the
canal.
Army May Act
Thus, if political disorders in
Panama should endanger the de-
fense works Of the canal, the
Army felt it would be obliged to
act.
The State Department was pre-
pared to run the risk of political
disorders in Panama in order to
carry out the non-intervention
policy. It took the attitude this
Government must either adhere
to the spirit Of that policy or
abandon it.

A FEUDAL LORD
IS COMING HOME

Albert Marco can come "home" now,
home to the Los Angeles underworld If
he so desires, home to the racketS and
the payoffs that made him feudal lord
of guns and gangsterS IN the largest
city on the Pacific coast. Albert Marco
can come "home" because the courts
have decided it is wrong to keep him in
Italy, where he fled during litigation
over a supposed error in court proce-
dure.
1t is all legally right and proper, but
to the normal way of thinking, there
must be something wrong somewhere.
Maybe it is in the courts, maybe it is in
the parole system. No matter where
the fault lies, it should be corrected.
Marco, notorious as underworld lord
of Los Angeles, was sentenced to San
Quentin prison for shooting two men
in cafe brawl in 1923. Sentences for
the two shootings were to run concur
rently, the court ordered. AT San Quen-
tin the prison officials-and one is in
clined to agree that they may have been
pretty well right-understood the SEN
fences to be consecutive. So Marco,
when he was released on parole, imme
diately exiled himself to Italy in new
kind of strike His one-man walkout
ldSteu uitl Tie Couil Gu Ihe ooaiu
of prison terms and paroles to declare
his prison terms ended, leaving him free
to re-enter the United States and take
up whatever business he sees fit. What
nature that business will take does not
take much guessing.
Technically, it may be proper that
Marcos sentences should be ended. No
one would object, in fact, if it were
not for the fact that Italy may lose him
now, and the United States may get him
again. At least, the decision favors
Italy.

CALIFORNIA SUPREME COURT
RULES OUT THE SINGLE TAX

The California supreme court has
saved the voters of California one mo-
ton each in the states numerous polling
places during the November general
election. The supreme courts decision
that wiped the so-called sales tax re-
peal amendment from the November
ballot had the same result a general
vote would have had, in that it prevent
ed the proposal from becoming law. The
supreme court wins vote of thanks,
however, for making the expensive pro-
cedure unnecessary.
Named by its friends the "sales tax
repeal amendment, the proposal was,
in effect, a projected single tax law.
Because of the highly technical word
ing of the amendment, and the undoubt-
edly misleading character of its title,
smany who signed the petition for its
inclusion on the November ballot were
not aware of the real character of the
proposed amendment. Their signatures,
actually, were obtained by misrepresen-
tation, real or implied.
The proposed amendment was, in fact,
a masterpiece of salesmanship. It's pois-
onous quality was CLOSED over with a
sugar coating to catch votes. Under
the gloss was the danger of total prop
erty ionfiscation by the state within
five years. None of this danger ap-
peared in the amendments title, and it
was as carefully hidden in the body of
the document as possible.
The supreme court is usually right
about legal technicalities and interpre-
tations. This time it was right, as well,
in discharging a moral duty. 1t would
have been basely unfair to the people of
California to allow that proposed amend
ment to go on the ballot in its current
form.
1t would not be wrong to allow a sales
tax repeal amendment on the ballot, or
