When the average player trumps his partners winning trick, it may mean that he hasn't been paying attention to the cards. When an expert does it, he has a very good reason for wanting to lead to the next trick instead of allowing his partner to lead again. Today's hand is a case in point.
 South played the nine of clubs on the first trick. This was the be- ginning of an "echo" which encour- ages partner to continue the suit. North now led the ten of clubs, and when this held the trick, South

Meeting Held At
 Albertus Mag,,us

The discussion of the negro ques- tion in America and the particular responsibility of the educated Cath olic toward the negro marked the intercollegiate interracial confer ence at Albertus Magnus college yes- terday. Rev. Nobert Georges, OF. S.T.Lr. gave an introductory speech on the importance of the example of Blessed Martin de Poeres.
 The present apostolate of Blessed Martin began in 1895 in answer to 8 request for prayers by His Holiness Plus XII, then his excellency Cardi- nal Pacilli and has made astound- ing progress. Blessed Martin prac- ticed and taught s high degree of perfection humility and charity, and emphasized these virtues as the principles on which social and in- teracial justice are based. He is unique In extending these principles even to the activities of the animals of the field. At his bidding tradi- tional enemies in the natural world lived in peace. Devotion to Blessed Martin as a symbol of the basic ideas of social justice prepares the way for an interracial program.
 The need for active participation of the laity in the solution of the problem was attested by George K. Hunton, editor of the International Review. MT. Hunton reviewed the present situation of the negro in America listing the few opportunities open to him in New York city and the number of fields from which he is excluded. The importance of these facts to the conference lies in the Catholic belief in the essential equal- ity of all men in the sight of God and the supreme value of the natu- ral and inalienable rights of man. The Catholic church by its very na- ture is the church for the men of every nation, every race, every color.
 Educated Catholics, according to MT. Hunton, should take the lead in supplanting the present indiffer- ence towards the negro and his problem by enthusiastic acceptance of the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of men.
 Dr. Hudson J. Oliver chose as the subject for his address ''The Negro and Catholic Action. Miss Gather inc Conger, president of Albertus Magnus Gid of Our Lady, presided at the meeting and the group dis cussions after the speeches were conducted by Miss Sabina Connolly and John J. Fitzgerald of Albertus Magnus faculty.
 Representatives from New Eng land Catholic colleges took part in the meeting at which there was q large attendance of students and faculty from Albertus Magnus.

 South, therefore, trumped his partners ace and led back a spade. His fine reasoning was rewarded when oNrth ruffed. thereby defeat ing the contract.
 Had North been allowed to win the third club trick, no lead he could make would defeat the con- tract. Declarer would draw trumps as soon as possible and make four hearts easily.
