When North and South made
their contract of three no trump
doubled on today's hand, East
and West had an argument about
the double East claimed that
West made the diamond overcall
with nothing. Actually. I think
Vests overCall was Justified
but the declarer PLAYED the
hand well.
The opening lead Of the dia-
mond king was allowed to hold
South won the second diamond
trick. and realized that all OF
the missing high cards must be
in the East hand. With them all,
East would have little enough
for his double. South caSned the
king and queen Of spades and
forced East 10 win the third
spade East returned a club and
the declarer, confident Of the
location Of the high cards, al
lowed il TO ride 10 dummy's
Jack. Dummys good spade was
cashed, South discarding a dia-
mond.
The eight Of hearts was led
from dummy. and when East
PLAYED low. South let IL ride.
When it held, ne led dummy's
ten OF hearts. East won with the
ace, but could win no more
tricks. The unwise double made
the play Of the hand easy for
the declarer.

IN WASHINGTON .

the big beef men OF Congress
have a good thing on the side
and that business I'm these war
times Of meat scarcity has been
dandy, that is a fair assumption.
But into each life some rain
must fall and today. over the
range homes and the Washington
office suites of the congressional
towmen the skies are almost
continuously cloudy. there are
discouraging words heard - all
times, and the Adirondack deer
and the Texas antelope are not
having fun.
OPA AND OES BLAMED
The reason for all this de-
spond that muddies up the pic
ture is, as you may or may not
guess, the guy ment-OPA and
OES, the administrative end o.
the guv'ment-not the leglsla-

COWMFN APPRFHENSIVE

All such oratOrY. when strung
mp by hind hoofs on packing
house rail, reveals in lean meat
what the fundamental beef Of
the csttlemen really is, il you II
pardon the bad pun. II is simply
that the new directive from
Judge Wilson's office means that
the cowmen see in this order a
prospect for cutting down on the
amount Of money they're going
70 get for the steers they're 60
ing 10 sell IN the coming months.
Particularly, II has thrown a
scare into the sellers OF beef
that grades out choice. 1t work
like this.
At the present time, the gov
eminent pays the packers sub
sidy Of Sll0 per hundredweight,
regardless of grade. This enables
the packers 10 pay the cattlemen
higher price, which encour-
ages production, Under the new
schedule. the subsidy for choice.
"A grade meat is reduced 70
81 90 per cwt.. while the sub
sidv for good or A grade meat is
raised 10 Sl45. Subsidies for
medium or B and lower grade
heefs are so cents TO 90 cents
This may mean that the best
good beef may bring more than
the worst choice beef.
But this is only one phase of
the terribly complex but inter
esting subject OF beef It's worth
considering further, in the next
issue.

HighIights from the Latest Books

Man has talent for pulling
himself up by his hootstraps. An
account Of mans rise and his
motivation from the shady
depths Of pre- history TO the pres
ent world revolution is pre-
sented by Erich Kahler in Man
the Measure Pantheon: $50,
described as new approach to
history.
The book itself is not light
reading $40 pages Of docu-
mented and finely argued con-
captions OF where man has been
and where he might be going.
But the book is well worth read
ing.
Kahler describes human insti-
tutions religion, business, gov
eminent. art, literature-from
their origins, in so far as the ORR
gins are known. 10 their present
places in mans scheme Of things.
He is particularly convincing IN
his account Of the growth OF gov
eminent and his delineation Of
religion past and present in
shaping the mental attitude OF
mankind.
AS for the future, he SAYS:
The destiny Of the world 10
come viii depend upon govern
ments And this entails the
great danger that the old politi-
clans, diplomats and business
men, that people who follow
the routines and interests OF yes
terday, viii again have charge
Of affairs people who viii APP
peal 10 the habits. the sentimen-
talltcs, the self-love Of nations in
order TO maintain their posi-
ton their methods and their
capilaliStic interests
The author takes the stand
that the world is progressing
toward collectiviSm and that this
is a good direction.
On the whole. Kahler'S new
approach" gives one feeling
that. after all, man has progress
Sed, that his foundation is strong
and that the world will improve
He is optimistic and hopeful.
The book might be good one
for the diplomats 10 read on the

ference.
