CD Prevent further wars by teaching the socaned white race that
it is high time for them to quit fooing themselves about white supremacy
with only threetenths of this worlds population. They must be taught
that color is due to climatic conditions. They must be taught that seven
tenths of the worlds population is made up of darker races They must
be taught that the rays of the sur that bazes upon the equator and turn
the skin brown do not effect the power of the brain any more than the
GOODNESS of icy glaciers effect the brain of the white race; and that the
darker races will not continue to be crushed by a money mad fed. If the
Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of man are not welded into the
hearts of this worlds family now, by teaching the principles laid down by
our Saviour, it will be welded into the hearts of our children some day,
soon, on the bloodiest battlefield this world has ever known.

The bidding is noteworthy for the
fact that Mr.. Bachner chose to re-
spond one spade with four to the
nine-spot. II he had made the more
normal response Of raising his partner
to two diamonds. the same final con.
tract would probably have been ar
rived at with North the declarer, and
would have been defeated with 4 club
opening.
AS it was, West opened the four Of
hearts. East won with the ace and
led the queen Of clubs. Mr.. Bachner
covered with the king and when West
played the ace, trumped with the 11ve
OF spades In dummy. He now laid
down the ace of spades, and when
West showed out. he was slightly an
noyed naturally, but still saw q play
Tor his contract. Accordingly, he led
the eight Of hearts from dummy.
winning with the queen in his own
nand. played . diamond to dummy's
king, and proceeded to cash dumuny,s
two high hearts, discarding the ace
and the other remaining diamond
from his own hand.
Now . diamond was led and there
was nothing East could do. Actually.
ne trumped with the ten and led a
second club. Mr.. Bachner ruffed in
dummy and continued the relentless
play OF the diamonds. East now
ruined low, Mr.. Bathner over-ruf9ed
led . club. trumped with dummy,s ace
and played another diamond. At this
point East retained the queen and 4
smau trump, and Mr.. Bachner the
nine Of spades and . small club, and
1t made no difference whether East
trumped high or low. II he trumped
low, Mr.. Bachner would over.ruff.
II he trumped high. Mr.. Bachner
would discard !.

the proposed income tax for the
District, Representative Everett

the term a illegal residence" In
Guided, many are Of the opinion
a large portion of those living in
the city will escape the tax. Rep
resentative DlrkSen has other
ideas. He declares that If the
members escaped under this term
they will be caught by q provision
of the bill which states:
"a like tax is hereby Inn
posed and shall be levied; col
lected and paid annually at the
rate specified in this section
upon and with respect to the
entire net income as herein pro-
! vided from all property owned
and from every BUSINESS, trade
or profession carried ON and

dents Of the PiEtrict.
If this provision prevails, Rep
resentative Dirksen declares his

VISITS HOUSE

Tom Blanton, who ruled the
District with an iron fist before
the voters in Texas told him they
didn't want him in Congress any
more, returned today as a specta-
tor to the scene of his many Con-
gressional battles.
Smiling and happy, with nary a
trace Of the former firceness
which carried him through such
fights as the "red rider" and
numerous budget controversies,
he sat complacently in the first
row on the House floor and greet
ed old friends.
Today was the first time he ap-
peared on the floor of the House
since his defeat last November.
However, he has been seen around
Capitol Hill ION business"
