| Trumps with club lead barred.
He coald have made the contract,
but failed through lack Of sufti-
cient knowledge Of squeeze plays.
All that was necessary was for
North to run first two spades and
six hearts. Those eight tricks
would have pared East down to
FIVE cards. Being marked by
Vests bidding as the only one
able to guard diamonds, he would
have had to hold four OF them. so
could keep only one club.
Then the declarer could have
cashed the diamond A. X and Q.
The last OF these. on the eleventh
trick. would have ruined West.
He would nave been pared then to
two clubs to protect the club 6,
and the spade Q to guard the j.
II on the third diamond he tossed
the spade. the spade J and club
A would have completed the
grand slam; if he threw one of
his two clubs. the club A would
lelve dropped the Q and j, and
the club t would have been the
last trick.

Anz. Communists
Attack Governor
For Refusing Aid

PHOENIX, June 10. CUP)-Tho
Communist party of Arizona made
blistering attack upon Gov. R. T
Jones for upholding the recent ex-
pulsion of Communist party work
err from the city of Nogales.
The party charged that the gov
ernor had disregarded the constitu-
tional rights of citizens in approving
the way in which the party member
had been forced to leave the south
ern Arizona city
The party's sentiment referred to
the incident in which George John
soE, Communist party member, was
arrested as vagrant in Nogales
while seeking signers for a party
petition. He was cleared of the va
grancy charges but assertedly was
forced to leave Nogales under threat
of violence from group of vigil
antes called in by the chief of po-
lice.
Both Gov. Jones and James Rob-
bins. Santa Cruz county attorney,
upheld the action of the chief of
police, saying it was justifiable to
use any means or methods-sut-
ject only to the laws of God-to
rid our country of Communism
The Communist party said that
approval of such means by law
enforcement authorities "smacks of
Hitlerism and its methods

Suggests Franklin Be
Set to Music.

To the Editor of The Star:
I wonder if the modern psalmist, Jay
Franklin, has ever given thought to
setting his column to music with title
reading, for example, 1.-The New Deal
Anthem" or some other such caption?
Most Americans, the New Deal and Mr..
Franklin willing, have now set them
selves to the task of defending this
country from those uncertain but prob
able dangers it may face in the perhaps
too immediate future. To this har-
monious effort the daily injection of
81. F." antagonism is a minatory
antithesis.
Intelligent citizens read the editorial
pages for intellectual and enlightening
discussion of present happenings and
indicative future trends. History records
the past in which this pseudo historian
seems to have been living since Novem-
Der S. Mr.. Franklin is unquestionably
an educated man, and he is a good
writer if he would but direct his talent
along the line of discussing contem-
porary happenings and refrain from the
daily dressing of wounds that time would
otherwise soon heal.
Let's not clutter up the editorial Sec
ton of an outstanding and reputable
daily with the memorable day-in-and
day-out rehash of water that has passed
over the dam. A SUBSCRIBER.
