 Two rounds of trumps picked up Vests, but for good measure an- other was led. and West was squeezed. He dropped the dia- mond jack, and South now cashed the six spot of diamonds and won the last trick with the ace of clubs in dummy. South had retained a club finesse if needed. The straight cross ruff on the hand would fail as West with only two hearts would secure one trump and his club trick.

just such a storm signal that per- mitted Charles D. Oreckovsky of Duluth, Minn, to be the lone de- clarer to make the universal con- tract of six spades reached by every South player in recent duplicate game in that city. The hand was sent to me by his admiring partner, D. J. Donovan, director of the Du- luth Bridge league.
 The four and five no trump bids were the Culbertson conventional slam bids and responses. The first tex was won with trS ace and the queen of spades was led. When East failed to follow, the bad spade break was revealed.

Shipping's First Need: Peace
Seattle Post-IntelligenceD

Seattle Post-Intelligencer)
 Then ten-day truce in the Puget Sound maritime tie-up is welcome development
 But it will be mistake to regard it as guarantee of peace upon the waterfront.
 The Post-1ntelligencer believes that permanent peace is to be sought in two directions:
 Frst-All sides of these maritime controversies must learn to respect the public interest by showing an increased willingness to settle disputes without strikes and lockouts and increased respect for the findings of existing official agencies F Second-There must be Federal legislation, similar to that provided in the railway labor act setting up effective machinery under which commerce may proceed without interruption, while the issues ln any dispute are being settled by mediation arbitration
 A few months ago Joseph P. Kennedy ended tie-up of the port of Seattle by successful appeal to employers and labor, under the first method
 He returned to Washington to devote his last days as chairman of the maritime commission to urging congressional committees to adopt the second method as a part of provisions for enlarged merchant marine.
 The House subsequently passed a merchant marine bill with no provision whatever for meeting the mari time labor problem
 The Senate in it's bill passed recently at least recognized there problem. Its solution, however falls far short of that proposed by MT Kennedy Its bill provides threeman maritime labor board, al- thorized to draft and recommend a permanent mari time labor policy In the meantime it is to proceed along the pattern of the National Labor Relations Board taking a part of it's duties with respect  to maritime labor.
 This is far from meeting the immediate need.
 There is still time for Congress adjusting the differences between and House bills to provide workable machinery for adjusting maritime disputes, railroad disputes adjusted without strikes or ockouts.
 We urge such action in the interest of labor and not alone in the interest of maritime workers who lose their pay when port is closed Maritime com is the lifeblood of this region and its nterrup tion causes financial loss and even loss of jobs to thousands of workers in all types of industry and business on the Pacific Coast These thousands arc in wise responsible for the differences between maritime employers and their workers, in no wise interested in the disputes between maritime unions but they suffer directly and severely
 The merchant marine bil aimed at adding 800 American flag vessels to our merchant fleet, must pass
 But it is useless to plan new fleet unless we can operate without interruption, the vessels have.
 A new and effective method of settling labor disputes must be our first objective.

OUR REASON FOR CELEBRATING
 AIR MAIL WEEK

Throughout the country this week National Ar Mail Week is being observed. Alaska, particularly Juneau Fairbanks had its celebration couple of weeks early it marked the first flight of air mail between the two cities leaving from here on May 8. But while we are still jubant about the inauguration of the mail service find cause for celebra tion this week along with the rest of the country
 One of the best reasons, it occurs to us is found in the visit of Aeronautcs Inspector Hugh Brewster to Southeast Alaska. While here his various other duties the Inspector is going to look the immed
 ate vicinity of Juneau, and also Ketchikan with the aim of picking out likely site for municipal air port While it may have nothing to do directly with Air Mail Week it certainly has something very defn ie to do with aviation in Alaska and modern aviation
