pip from the ace TO the king.
The pips of each suit were paral-
leled by the same pips in the
other suits all the way round.
This hand is the result of a new
deck being put in play and not
being shu-fled.
John Haggerty of Syracuse,
with his wife as partner, was the
only player in the room making
his contract. Since one of suit
IS the maximum that can be
made, ii was no surprise TO see
sets ranging from 100 to 500.
In most cases the deal was
played at no trump by which
ever side opened the bidding. II
IS interesting TO note that, at no
trump, the defenders win the
odd trick, because the 18th Of
the four-card suit opened can be
cashed. In actual play the lead
of a five-spot usually gave the
defenders all four tricks in the
suit, because the declarer could
not guess that he should Jump
up with dummy's queen.
AT Haggerty's table the open
ing lead disclosed the club stu
alton, and it was easy to win
seven tricks.

On May !, for example,
there we're on record in the
office Of the Director Of the

R. SteeImor, only five strikes
involving 35l workers, effect
ing war production. At the
same time, however, there
we're 200 disputes on record,
each calling for the services
Of q conciliotor5
To handle these fights, Oi-
rector SteeImon has available
about 10 conciIiotors-men
trained in labor relations ond
experienced in getting both
sides together TO sit down and
tLIk out their differences.
This means that each Of his
70 mediotors had an over
oee Of 10 fights to umpire.
Actually, every man on the
stoff had from five TO IS cases
before him, and oil we're
s~omped, working all hours Of
the doy and night, getting one
group together, then trying to
work on from four to IA 9TH
er coses by telephone.
To remey this situation, to
speed up on production, Or.
SteeImon asked the labor
subcommittee Of the House
Committee on Appropriations
for enough money to hire 100
more conciIiotors - opproxi-
moteIy $4,000. The sub
committee approved. A recon-
mendoton for q supplement

Labor disputes9 There
shouldn't be any. Whot does
SteeImon mean by having
300 obor disputes? He
shouldn't hove more than 100
at the most. "
They cut the $4,000
down to $4,000, although
they let the $40 billion 90
through without much ques-
ton.
The Senate, be it said, was
smarter. They rosed the S76,-
900 back to $4,000. The
bill went back into conference.
But would the House confer

Fortunately, there hasn't been much

there ore hystericoI attacks upon some
However mistoken-ore sincere in
their love for America.
The monograph Divide and Con-
quer, put out by the Office Of Focts and
Figures, is skeleton textbook on prop
Uganda methods used by Hitler and
Goebbes Divide and Conquer warns
the American people Of certain specific
approaches by which the axis is trying
to soften us up.
Properly applied, the information in
Divide and Conquer is invaluable But
like any analysis Of propaganda, it
treods boundary line SO fointIy mark
ed that the hystericoI should not VEN
ture upon it,
The Mocleish monograph sunmor-
ICES 5 lies which, unquestionobIy, axis
propaganda is trying to put ocross over
here. Most Of the points ore sound. But
some require reservations And when
these letter ore used by one man
against another, or one organization
against another, we may we'll weigh
carefully the oninnus that may be pre-
sent
For example, Divide and Conquer
lists as Hitler propaganda line the lie
that the cost Of the war will bankrupt
the nation. " Does this mean that every
body who ventures TO suggest economy
os q Hitler stooge? We hope not, for
we intend to demand economy wherev-
er it will not hamper the war effort.
"BoIshevsm will sweep over Eu-
rope" GoebbeIs wants US to believe
Does this mean that we can not criti-
Cize those Communists who even now
ore Strengthening their positions in an
ticipotion Of postwar octivtes2 We
hope not. We're for full military coIIob-
GRAFTON with onti-HitIer Russia, and for
rigid control over StoIinist activities in
this country
"Our leaders ore incompetent" Hit
Ter argues. Does this mean we should
not criticize those who ore inconpe-
tent? We hope not. Even our govern
ment can not claim 100 per cent per-
lection in its personnel.
And finally, there is the German con-
tention that American democracy will
be lost during the war;" Inevitably we
shall have to surrender privileges we
had come to record as rights. We do
that willingly, as an evil infinitely pref
cradle to the alternative of weokenino

But-ore we foreclosed from warm

Let's be realistic. Let's be aggressive.
Let's be suspicious Of possible sixth COL
