Frey gives us nice lesson in
todays hand, which came up
during the Eastern tournament.
He sat East. On the opening
lead he played the jack of
spades, not the king.
The idea Of this play was TO
find out at once whether South
held the queen of spades 1t was
a virtual certainty from the bid
ulng that South held the ace.
When South won the jack with
the queen and forced out ace OF
clubs, Frey led the queen OF dla-
mOndS.
Without certainty that the
spade suit was hopeless, this
play would be risky, since 1t
might let declarer win 10 tricks
instead of nine. But in this case
the diamond shift was marked
as the only hope and it set the
contract.

WASHINGTON, April g.
The Hon. Kenneth Mcclellan,
bachelor, senior senator from
Tennessee, has emerged re-
Gently as one Of the greatest
advocates Of government econ
omy in the Congress, and may
be there's q reason.
You may recall thot last foil
there wos q greet TODD about
building Douglas Dam in west
ern Tennessee. Senator Nc
KeIIor was ogin' it. His point
was thot to build Douglas Dam
would flood some Of the best
farm land Of the sote, couse
lot Of formers TO be moved
off their acres, and ruin the
business Of several canning
factories.
Senator Mcclellan proposed
that two or three other doms
be built on other locations ,
Give the same amount Of pow
er for about the same amount
of money and of the some time
ovoid the upset Of "peo con-
nina os usuoI." " He wrote O bill
to build his" dams and he
nearly, but rot quite, slipped
it through as an amendment
to other legislation.

HighIights from
the Latest Books

With plain words and stone
cold facts, Virginius Dabncy sets
out to prove IN Below the Po-
tomac "(Appleton-Century: So,
that the South never was the
land of "mockingbirds, magnol-
las and mammieS,' and today IS
no backward land, incredibly
slcazy and doWn-at heel, inhab-
tied by dcgeneratcs droollng to-
DaCcO Juice.
And the famed Richmond edl-
tor makes his point III one OF the
most sensible books written
about the former states of the
ConfcdcTacy. 1t should open
some eyes and close SOM crlu-
cal mouths north of the Mason
Dixon line. The South should
be happy for such an intelligent
Interpretation.
In II chapters, DaDney dis
cusSeS-and stops to grind few
axcs-politics, Dixie and the
New Deal, voting restrictions,
education, civil rights, the Ne
gro, and the future OF the states
which contain so much OF the
nations resources and citizen
poWcr. Generally, he finds the
Roosevelt administration more
than did right by the South; bar
rlCrS to the ballot still are a
SCourge in some states; educa-
ton is on the upgrade with
much distance TO climb; civil
liberty often depends upon who
seeks to exercise it, and the
southern Nego today IS IN a bet
ter civil but worse economic
condition.
Dabney does an Cnlightening
Job of explaining the rise OF
fuzzy Long-"a hungry man can
hardly be expected TO attach
much importance TO his right OF
free speech, if the only answer to
his plcadingS is that he is still
free TO criticize those who deny
il TO him Among southern
politicians whom DaDney lists
as possible but not probable sue
Cessors to Long are Governor
Talmadge of Georgia, and Sena-
tors ODaniel of Texas and Rcy-
noIds of North Carolina.
AS for the future, the South
must have the kInCtic force to
build for the future, and the
leisure to enjoy the cdillcc after
1t IS done; it must be a wholly
American South, South OF
liberty and learning, of human
dignity and devotion to democ-
raCy.'

ency and no less destructive OF the
purposes ofthe American Government,
is being poured into the mails every
doy by sources within the United
Stotes. A great number Of publications
Fascist in sympathy and seditious in
tendency are already under suNeiI-
lance by the Department Of Justice.
Prof. James n. Sheldon, Chairman
Of the Boord Of the Non-Sectorton
Anti-Nozi League, the other doy Iiken-
ed the menace Of this propaganda to
fires kindIed by incendiory bombs. He
declared, "The least we can do is to see
to it that the taxpayers no longer sub
sdize this kind Of propaganda as
they do by allowing it to be sent
through the mails with second-cIoss
mailing privileges.
A deeper question than one OF
subsidy is involved. For years the
United States Government, like other
responsible governments, has tIotIy
excluded from the mails several kinds
Of matter as dangerous or contrary TO
public policy. 1t is illegal today to
send firearms, explosives, poison, oIco-
hoic liquors, indecent matter, lottery
tickets, endless chain letters or troud-
LIent solicitations through the United
Stotes mails. Publications which hint
at subvertnq the American Govern
ment or disruptng its internal peace
and order ought to be at home in such
company They are injurious to public
welfare and sofety.
There is no moral reason why the
Nation should have to give the priv
iIeqes Of the mails to material whose
main effect is to create dissensions
within and support on enemy without.
Conqress would do we'll to consider
legislation to authorize the Postmos-
ter General to exclude from the mails
publications which, in the opinion Of
the Attorney General, assist the Pur-
poses Of the Nations military enemies
this exclusion to be renewable by O
competent Federal court
With every regard for legitimate
freedom Of speech and press, surely
legal criterio can be established to
distinguish between useful criticism
and attacks on the Nations safety
The Government should not be obliged
to supply distribution for publications
that seek it's destruction.
