A NEW HUEY LONG
ON THE HORIZON

The full infomy Of the Huey Long
regime in Louisiana, with oil its don-
gers to democratic government. is only
now being reolized by most people Of
the United Stotes.
The Long movement wos not only O
totoI perversion Of decent stote govern
ment in Louisiana, for which that stote
is now ruefuIIy paying. but definite
threat to the whole democratic process
in the United Stotes.
Thot is why it is not too early to cost
an eye at Gov. Gene ToImodee Of Geor-
qio and ask whether he may not be on
incipent Long. and whether he, too,
may not rise vio the Senate from the
stote to the national scene.
1t should be remembered that one
of the first octs of huey Long in Loui-
siono wos to destroy the independence
and integrity of the stote university
and to make it O mere political open
doee Of his party machine. Governor
Tolmodee has oIreody done something
periIousIy close to thot in stocking"
q refractory university board Of regents
which refused to comply, with his will,
and appointing members who would.
Long then launched violent ottocks
on the newspapers as unfair to his
regime. ond tried in every way to ham,
per ond finally to penoIize them by
discriminatory taxes enacted by q
"stooee" legislature Governor Toll
mode hos olreody threatened Atlanta
and Macon newspapers with deniol Of
their ordinary news sources at the stote
oopito ond hos issued yelled hints thot
they had better get right"
II was the newspapers in Louisiana,
especially the New Orleans Stotes,
which never yielded to the Long oppres-
sion, and which we're largely instru-
nento at the end in exposing the sham
bIes he had made Of decent govern
ment.
The popers Of Atlanta and Macon,
at which Tolmodoe hos been hitting,
ore known throughout the country os
having integrity. honesty, and courage.
Their reputation in their field is solid
one built over long period of years.
When the governor occuses them of
consistently misrepresentine focts, and
os willing to penolize Georgia to hit
ToImodoe," reoders outside Georgia re-
serve the right to wonder whot's going
on in Georgia.

. McKENNEY ON BRIDGE

Here I was reminded Of the dis
carding system used there, which
shows partner the number Of
cards held in the suit.
1t il termed the third best
discard" A player discarding
the deuce and then the five-spot
would be marked with one more
Of that suit. With only two in the
suit, he would be required to dis
card the five first and then the
deuce. With four or five Of the
suit, he would discard the third
best, then the second best, and
then the lowest, marking him
with ut least one more. This in
formation often proves valuable
on the defense, as In today's
hand.
When East plays the deuce on
the king Of hearts, West knows
that he has one or three hearts.
II he has three, South Is void and
East can top dummy's nine. II
East has one, he can ruff the Sec
ond round. In either case, there
is no danger in leading low. So
West continues with the three of
hearts. East ruffs and naturally
leads q club. West wins, puts
East back with another heart
ruff. Two clubs give the defend
ers six tricks.
All North-S pairs in the
game actually went to four
spades, and . penalty of only two
tricks would give East-West q
poor score. The defenders will set
the contract only two II West
continues with top heart, un-
less East hes the foresight to ruff
his partneg's trick. .s

Mrs. McKenney and I recently
returned from an 8000-mile trip

Accompanying us on the entire

que, and the man who has his
name on more major trophies
than any other player in the

We visited a great many cities
and found fine bridge played in
every community. Some sections
have their own ideas on the
game. Others just play good
sound bridge.

Based on ratio OF woges to value OF
