hOALA.
Koalas are the original pole sit
tiers. Their aim in life seems to be
to reach lofty height and observe
the scenery. Because they are so
quaint and attractive, they were de-
sirable as pets. Soon 1t was discover
ed that the little fellows could not
stand luxury and passed on. This
state of affairs became so serious
that the Victorian government had
to forbid their capture and suitable
places for them were established
where they could enjoy their lib
erty and find an abundance of food.
Koalas are found in Southeastern
and Eastern Australia. They are
marsupials, having a pouch in which
their single young. known as Joey"
is carried until able to care for itself.

West opened the deuce OF hearts,
hoping to remove some of dummy's
trumps and thus safeguard his high
spades. The six Of hearts was
played from dummy. since South
wanted to find out whether or not
East had all of the missing trumps
When East played the seven of
hearts, South took his ace. con-
WINGED that East had the rest of
the trumps.
South next led his singleton club
to dummy's queen and discarded
diamonds on the king and ace of
clubs. He then boldly led the fourth
| club from dummy, ruffing with the
three OF hearts. The 10 Of dia-
monds to dummy's ace permitted
South to run diamond return with
| the four OF hearts.
Declarer next cashed the spade
ace and ruffed spade in dummy
A third round of diamonds then
permitted him to win his tenth
trick with the five of hearts. East
was able to take the last three tricks
with his king-queen-l0 of trump,
but South had already made his re-
doubled contract.

Answer-Pass. Your partner
should know that you have a five
card suit. so he could bid four
hearts by himself if that Is likely
to be the best contract. Since he
has failed to do 50, you must as
sumo that he has good reason to
prefer three no-trump to four
hearts. He should have a long,
strong diamond suit to furnish
most OF his tricks. together with a
probable double stopper in spades

America will destroy Japan,
that we will surely reduce her

WAsHINGToN' March 90
w The congressman have been
getting so many letters from
back home that the adminiStra-

Chairman Doughton. they realize
it cannot be done.
The best they are likely TO get
are some notifications yet TO be

Probably the greatest obsta-
Gle they have faced here is the
fact that influential MI. Dough-
ton has saved the money for his
next years taxes wisely and
prudently, and he has not been
sympathetic about the viewpoint
of others who were not able to
do so, or who were not so pru-
dent or wise.
THE treasury opposition has
L been based ostensibly on the
idea that the rich would be
helped. But that attitude also
may possibly have softened
somewhat by the fact that the
March IS income tax returns did
