OF course South's opening bid
was a psychic, but North follow
ed through well by not taking
out in diamonds. East was
probably justified in passing the
double, especially with North
and South vulnerable.
After winning the first trick,
West shifted to a heart, dummy
played low and East won with
the king. She heSitated to lead
q trump, for fear of establishing
too many trump tricks for the
declarer. A heart was returned,
won in dummy with the ace, and
at this point Mrs. Flaherty, the
declarer, made nice play. She
led the queen of clubs from
dummy, West won with the ace
and returned the club. Thus,
Mrs. Flaherty was able 10 win
in her hand with the ten-spot
and ruff the third heart in dunn
my. Now the ace of diamonds
was cashed and the fourth club
led. East refused 10 ruff, so
Mrs. Flaherty trumped with the
nine-spot and led a diamond.
East was forced to trump. She
returned the eight of spades and
Mrs. Flaherty was now assured
OF two spade tricks and her con-
tract.

WILL GERMANY CRACK
Nv panl Hapen (HarnarS. CO-E)

BY Paul Hagen (Harpers; S2.75)
Although Paul Hagen calls his
book will Germany Crack"
he dedicates It to the thesis that
whether it cracks or not, all the
potentialities for a terrific split
are inside Germany now. And
Of course he believes that with
proper pressure applied outside
Germany will crack wide open.
The best pressure so far is. he
says, the decision of the Unit
ed States to enter the war. Ger
many has not forgotten those
hopeless days Of 1918. Nor
has she lost sight of the fact
that her present food rations
are almost exactly those of 1917.
Germans said then that they won
all the battles and lost all the
wars; underground sources say
u" same quip is going the
rounds today.
Mr.. Hagen's book Is the most
intelligent popular appraisal of
the interior tensions of Hitler's
front yard | have seen. It even
gives in detail the sources of the
information, which most such
books do not. 1t repeats, too, a
lot we already know.
But it contains such import
ant matter as the long and pains
taking analysis Of the labor sit
uation which opens the argu-
ment, and this is situation
which may be in the backs of a
lot Of minds, but which has had
strangely little publicity OF late.
There was a day, you recall,
when Hitler was advertising
shortage of labor in Germany
while every other country was
confeSsing vast SURPRISES. There
As still a shortage of labor in
the charming Reich, Mr.. Hagen
points out.
His sources indicate that the
drain of German manpower for
the front has been every bit as
heavy AS estimated abroad.
These men have been replaced
by prisoners of war and by lab
or drafts. There are certainly
not fewer than AZ million en-
envy aliens now working in
German industry, and Mr.. Hap-
en- believes there are actually
5l2 millions. Not MANY of
these are happy, and the lot of
them constitute one of the great
est and most dangerous strains
in the entire Nazi set-up. MIR.
Hagen believes the situation is
growing more alarming from
the Nazi side, because obviously
more and more aliens must be
imported. The Russians and the
British go patiently along
slaughtering more and more of
the Dominant Race, and more
and more Of the "serf races"
Will have TO do the work.
This is only one of Mr.. Hag-
ems carefully presented points,
but il is a neat one. "Will Ger
many Crack" is due to be burn
ed as soon as Himmler gets a
copy.
