South'S bid OF two diamonds was
a command to his partner to name
his longest suit, for South hoped
his partner might be able to name
hearts. But when North bid clubs
South jumped to game in spades
without delay.
West opened the king of clubs,
South rufhng. South saw that a
successful spade flnesse would prob
ably yield him seven spade tricks
and three hearts. But bad splits
in both major suits might set him,
so he set about plan to avoid that
danger.
At the second trick he led heart
to dummy's king and let the 10 of
spades ride for flnesse. Next he
ruffed club and then cashed the
trump ace. Vests diamond discard
showed that the queen of trump
would not drop. Since break in
hearts would make his contract safe,
South next laid down the ace and
queen of that suit, but once again
West discarded diamond.
Apparently South was doomed to
lose trump, heart and two dia-
monds. But he found way out
of his trouble by leading the king
of diamonds West had to win,
cash another high diamond and
then lead either a club or dia-
mond to give South another ruff.
This reduced South to the king-j jack
of trumps, just what he wanted.
Having forced West to give him
the needed ruff, South led his last
heart. This put East in the lead
and compelled him to return
trump (all he had lefD. Thus
South was able to take another
trump finesse and avoid the loss
Of trump trick.

Answer-Bid. four spades. If your

ing into another plant which in rubber
quality comes closer to the hevea tree
than possibly any other This is ia
maica vine, fosteronia fioribunda, thick
as a mans forearm. 1t will twine around
a tree and can be tapped for rubber like
the hevea tree. Possibly it can be grown
below frost lines In this country. Lack
Of seed is a drawback to quick develop
ment.
Right up near the top along with
guayule. cryptostegia and fosteronia is
q Southern United States tree named
sicus durae. It has more resin than
cryptostegia, possibly less than guayule,
and can be grown to a rubber producing
stage in about three years.
Edison's goldenrod has considerable
rubber, but national Bureau of Standards
tests published by the Agriculture De-
partment give goldenrod rubber only half
the tensile strength of hevea and IS
per cent of the abrasion resistance.
Two Species Of Milkweed.
The department mentions two Amer
lean Southwest species of milkweed.
They might yield 80 to 30 pounds of rub
ber per acre year, probably too low
to compete with the hevea tree which
gives 200 to 300 pounds per acre and
sometimes more than 1000 pounds.
California, Arizona, Nevada. New
Mexico and Utah have large stands of
rabbit brush containing good rubber.
The department. has planted in 30
States the Russian dandelion, kok- k-sagys,
whose roots contain rubber. The pur-
pose is to find what it may do in the
United States. An Agriculture Depart
ment bulletin says reliable reports from
Russia do not verify current favorable
reports about the dandelion rubber.
You can take 1t from the departments S
reports that there probably Is no rubber
in Usage oranges, despite popular belief
and that there is rubber in poinsettia,
but not enough for commercial use.
The best OF the thousands of plants
containing rubber all are subject as yet
to two question marks. One Is the agri-
cultural problems of raising them at a
longtime profit for the farmers. The
other is publication Of the rubber, a
problem worked out for guayule, but
even there still subject to improvement.
On these technical details, usually far
more important than all the alluring and
spectacular aspects, are concentrated
some of the best brains in the rubber
business and in the agricultural plan
ming. And beyond any doubt. millions
OF motorists are waiting eagerly for some
new source Of rubber for their tires.

tons more than Americas peacetime
rubber use.
From one point of view that is the
richest prize ever dangled before indus
try. From another, the plum is likely
to have worms, before it is picked
Postwar Policy Involved.
Most threatening worm" is hevea
which is the natural rubber tree of the
East Indies, a source now cut off but cer-
tain to come back to compete with syn
thetic at lower and lower prices for
natural rubber.
Another is the matter of international
policy after the war, whether we shall
at long last stop relying on foreign
sources for a vital need, or whether 1t
will be considered better to do at least
considerable traffic in rubber with
friendly source nations.
But, worms or not there is certain to
be still enough plum left to merit the
study of the shrewdest business planners.
First come the advantages from the
fact that Uncle Sam is paying most of
the billion dollar building bill
the end of the war the Government will
be owner OF the plants which make the
synthetics for tires. That is the general
plan, but there are no specific figures.
The fact behind this is an expense so
huge that no private industrialist or
corporation can afford now to take the
risks.
But after the war some of the big
concerns-petroleum, rubber or chemical
may find 1t profitable to take over the
Government plants at reduced price.
Political support for this will be pos
sible from large number of voters
whose jobs by then may depend on con-
tinuance of American synthetic rubber
industry. The farm bloc is likely to con-
tribute similar votes, because as the rub
Der program now stands, much of the
material will be grain and other crops,
perhaps like potatoes, which are easily
converted into alcohol, and thence into
butadiene for synthetic rubber.

The scientific discoveries-unpredic
able-at best can be so good that the
synthetic rubber plum will be worth far
more than $1,000, ,0OO, 600 At worst they

any other period than war would be
hailed as a major industrial achieve

Philippine Commission to Discuss
Southeast Asio's Role in War

The vital role which the natives
Of Southeastern Asia can and should
play in the war effort of the United
Nations will be discussed at pm.
tomorrow by Philippine Commits
sioner Joaquin N. Elizalde in the
National Radio Forum arranged by
The Star and broadcast over the
blue network. The program will be
heard here over Station WMAL.
Commissioner Elizalde, a native
of the Philippines, is convinced that
the United Nations should sell the
native populations on the idea that
they are fighting for their own
freedom and their own future in
stead Of a mere choice between two
forms of imperialism.
He has pointed out that the
United Nations may be overopti-
mistic in their claim that their
cause Is backed by four -fifths of
the people of the world. The Com
missioner Is more inclined to the
view that some three-fifths of the
worlds population are more or less
"on the fence" in the present strug-
gle and must be convinced they will
benefit by throwing in their lot with
the United Nations.
Commissioner Elizalde, while of
Spanish descent, Is Filipino by
birth and feeling. He and his three
brothers who now are in the in
vaded islands are partners in one
