Second, it will seek still higher ston-

Now, of course, East showed
his real suit with his bid of two

to 60 to three no trump. II he
thought the hand had no future,
he could have passed two spades,
but knowing the strength Of his
partners hand, and that two
spades would count as much as
three diamonds, his three-dia-
mond bid was an encouraging
one. In these circumstances,
East's bid of three no trump was
the correct call under the Nc
Pherran no trump convention.
In the play, the ace Of hearts
was knocked out on the second
round. Declarer could count only
eight tricks. six diamonds and
two side aces. It looks offhand rs
though South must win the ace Of
spades and four hearts. But, un-
luckily for South. he holds both

) t4itter's policy, which he first describ-
I'd in detoil in Mein kompf, and which
he has followed with terrible success in
subiectina the small, peaceful notions
OF Europe to the Nozi Dictatorship, con
be perfectly expressed in three words:
Divide, lsolote. Conquer.
Thot policy hos been emuloted by
those whose main purpose in lite IS the
socioIizotion of the $l3, 600, 600. 600
electric light ond power industry OF the
United Stotes.
Some excellent examples Of this
have recently occurred in Oregon. where
public ownership advocates are at
tempting to persuade the voters to esto-
bIish Peoples Utility Districts. generally
known as "PUDS", to distribute power
from Bonneville dam. In the Eastern
part of the stote there is q private util-
ity which is largely isolated from other
systems. This utility announced that it
would buy power from Bonneville and
pass the savings along to the consumer
something that has been successfully
accomplished, to the benefit OF the
rotepoyer, in other parts Of the stote.
A county in that utility's area was
shortly to vote on q PUO proposal, ond
it oppeored foredoomed to detect. But
two days before the election Bonne-
Vile representative appeared on the
scene, eneoeed rodio time, and mode q
speech in which he said thot Bonneville
could not sell the private company pow
er. In other words, if the people want
ed the benefits of Bonneville power they
would have to authorize PUD. The
PUD corried. Furthermore, in setting up
this PUD, the public ownership strote-
qists made sure that it included only
territory served by this one utility. Di-
vide, Isolate, Conquer!
In Western Oregon, q county voted
down q PUD some time ago, but the
principal town in the county voted in
favor. The next PUD proposal put on
the ballot excluded all of the county
that had voted No beforehand incIud-
ed only the single town and small sur
rounding territory. The PUD, of course,
corried. Aeoin-Divide, Isolate, Con-
quer!
II would be possible to write VOL
unes concerning the ruthless toctics Of
the public ownership fonotics. 1t has
become obundontIy clear thot their
main goal is not merely lower rotes and
better service. Their real goal is sociok
izotion Of the industry. no matter what
the cost, or how unfair the toctics en-
pioyed. And never forget that when
government goes into business, all the
toxpoyers must help pay the bill for
that "fovored" few who ore given
"specio" services.
How long will this be permitted at
q time when we need every possible
tax dollar for defense-ond when we
need the full strength of all our indus
tries. Of which power is among the most
vitol and progressive?
