 Now three rounds of spades of hearts. At this point, East held the jack of hearts and the king and queen of diamonds. In the dummy were the ace and nine of diamonds and the six of hearts.
 Declarer now led the four of spades, and East was squeezed. To discard heart would establish the six in dummy and to play q dia- were cashed. followed by the ace mond also would be fatal.
 The hand is an apt Illustration of the power of e long suit and the fatal effects of repeated dis cards. Apparently East and West had defense In three out of four suits, but this defense could not withstand the killing play Of the fourth round of spades.

In the belief that women voters are longing for more light and waiting for more guidance" in un- derstanding problems involved in current labor unrest, the National League of Women Voters is calling on its membership to give special study to all aspects of collective bargaining.
 "The fact that discussions of the present labor situation throughout the country are on everyone's lips makes our study immediately more and more difficult" Mrs. Marion A. Check of Buffalo, New York, econ omic welfare chairman of the Ma tional League has written state chairmen.
 "A hot subject has this advan- tage--thta none need tobe told its importance, but reasanoble analysis and the use of reliable facts be- comes doubly hard when our pas- sions and pockctbooks are pre-en- eaged," Mrs. Check said T believe league groups are longing for more light on the subject of collective bargaining and are awaiting for more guidance"
 Stimulation of interest in the bar gaining processes Is being made through study guide of five les- sons drafted by Mrs. Cheek. League groups in $50 communities will en- courage special meetings and class es at which the whole problem will be reviewed.
 The Leagues study will embrace the comparison between individual and collective bargaining. and an analysis of bargaining agencies in cluding various types of labor and company unions.
 Governments relationship to la bor disputes" is the title of two final lessons. in which the use of po- lice and court injunctions in dis pute settlements, the activities of specified government units engaged in arbitration, the workings of the National Labor Relations Act, and the question of compulsory arbitra- tion are to be examined thoroughly.
