1t clear to the declarer that West
had only hearts left, because other
wise he would not have led into

ing the heart ace, North made the
surprising lead Of dummy's heart
jack.
Apparently this gave West q
trick, but 1t was q Greek gift. After
taking the heart jack with his
queen, West had to lead another
heart to dummy's ace. This lead
squeezed East, who let 60 spade

the last spade was led from dummy
and both of Norths remaining
spades were high.

These next few months should
tell whether the war is to be
won or lost-on the home front.
No one believes that the war
overseas-the fightin' war can
be won or lost in that short time
and only a few people believe
that the outcome of this fightin'
war will be determined by the
end of l943. The war on the
home front is something else
again.
From the administration S
point of view, this war on the
home front is the battle of civil
ian supply, of taxation, of price
control, of wage control, of ra-
tioning, of farm prices, of man.
power, of every single domestic
economy policy laid down in an
effort to support the war effort.
In short, this battle at home
Is the battle against initiation.
And the next few months should
tell whether that battle is to be
won or lost
The demands for a retreat on
the anti-inflationary home front
are many ard loud.
/. The farm lobby-repre-
sentatives of the farm owners
organizations and the farm
bloc in Congress demand higher
prices for farm products. AL
though farm income for the en-
tire country in 1912 was 81 bill
lion higher than it had ever
been in the most profitable farm
years, the farm lobby maintains
that is not enough to meet in
creased labor costs. These in
creased labor costs stem from a
shortage of farm labor, de-
mand for larger farm produc-
ton, the drafting of farm labor
and an apparent shortage of new
farm machinery.
On the other hand, the anti
inflationists contend that if farm
prices are permitted to advance,
up will go the cost of food and
that will result in a demand for
increased wages and there you
have the beginning of an infla.
tionary spiral which can only
mean higher war costs and high
er taxes.

York. But when the final score
was posted, Stone and Roth had
23-point lead over Zedtwitz
and Fishbein.
Stone is only % years old, and
is in the Signal Corps Reserve.
When he completes a course he
is taking in New York, in May,
he will don Uncle Sans uni
form. He won his first cham
pionship three years ago, at
which time l predicted that he
would soon be recognized as one
of the country's outstanding
players. Today's hand is an ex-
ample of his style of play.
Three rounds of hearts were
led, Stone NORTH ruffing the
third. Stone led four rounds of
trumps, discarding a club and a
diamond from dummy. West let
60 a heart, club, then his last
heart. Sensing Vests distress,
Stone led one more trump, dis
carding the last low diamond
from dummy. West would not be
trapped and still saved all his
diamonds, letting go another
club. But then Stone led the
jack of clubs, refusing to play
the king when East covered.
East led diamond, dummy won
and led the eight of clubs. The
ace fell and Stone ruffed, then
dummy won the last two tricks.
