eeo points and the penalty of five tricks down, not vulnerable, is 900.
 Thus North and South were in duplicate parlance "fixed". How ever, they might have made the best of their refenSe, and won as many tricks as possible. As t was they took but three tricks for Q penalty of 500 points, winning only the ace and king of spades and the ace of clubs.
 North should have opened Q spade, and South should have re- turned the ace and another club. If another spade had then been returned South would have won and led another club which his partner wuold have ruffed, and the penalty of 900 points would have been assured.
 East and West against perfect defense, are two tricks better off playing the hand in clubs, al- though no pair tried to play the hand ct seven clubs.

Roosevelt Proposes a Non

DRESIDENT ROOSEVELT, writing to Chairman Pat
Harrison of the Senate Finance Committee, says
he would like to see "some non-controversal amend
ments' to the Social Security Act.
Chief among these would be extension of the SSA's
protection to salors extension of the odage pension

could go working through

ments after retirement instead of lump-sum SETTLE
ents and extension of the SSA to cover bank clerks

the American Bankers Association.
It's that fact that is responsible for the exclamation
point in this editorials title. Three or four years ago.
the Social Security Act-any social security act-was
subject Of the bterest controversy Conservatives
hated the idea and fought it to the last ditch Now the
President propose extensions of the act and can
justly call these extensions non-controversal because
hardly anybody disputes their desirability.
We believe the process will go on in this direction
Liberals will continue to work for Social Securty's
further improvement; conservatives who once fought
SSA Needs More all social security, will fight to
v... prevent any changes in whatever
Social Security law is current.
We hope one Improvement will eventually be a re-
quirement that workers as we'll as employers must pay
into the unemployment insurance pools to increase the
size of those pools and to heghten the workers inter-
est in their honest administration That's probably far
off; but we hope it comes to pass.
But the big laugh in this news is the shift over few
years, of conservatives to position which thew once
considered unbearaby radical position. Twas ever

Liberty League Manifesto

The Liberty League manifesto,
as Senator McNary, Of all people,
titled it, seems to be an anti"
quated document that will be
very short-lived.
Anticipated because the Amert-
can people Cor the great ma
jority) long ago renounced its
underlying philosophy. Short
lived because to the six original
signatures on the petition circu-
lated in the Senate, none has
been added.
The document, in summary,
wants wide-open, tax-free private
enterprise and has a "let bust.
ness do as it pleases" tone. It
was instigated by Senators Van
denberg and Bailey, if any one
has any doubt as to its contents.
The American people have
learned by sad experience how
private enterprise on the loose,
exploits the nation and the mass
Of the people, and any Senator
who signs this petition might as
well sign his resignation from
the Senate at the same time:
unless he wishes to wait until
the next election when the popu-
lace will do it for him.

Belgium has beautiful rites

ing the holiday letter from chill

One of the most delightful Of
festivities is that which is held
in the south of France. In each
locality a great log is cut in

after returning from midnight

the fireplace for a banquet and

wine poured over the flaming
