West opens the spade jack, East
drops the eight and you duck. You
win the next spade on which East
plays the queen, and your second
lead of diamonds is won by Vests
ace. West returns the spade 10,
you discard a club from dummy,
East plays low and you win the
trick. Then you cash three more
diamonds, discarding heart from
your hand. Vests discardS are a
club, heart and a spade: East
discards a heart and two clubs.
You have now won six tricks,
your two top clubs will give you
eight and you can win a ninth in
hearts II West has either the ace
or queen and you make the correct
guess. So you return to your hand
with a club and lead the heart
jack. West plays low. Should you
finesse against West for the queen
or play him for the ace and 60
up with dummy's king? What clue
decides your play?
You can be positive that West
does not have the heart ace be-
cause with sure entry he would
have held onto two spades in order
to keep the setting trick. His spade
discard tells you to play for East
to have the heart ace, so you finesse
the jack. Now look at the East
West cards and you'll see that this
play makes your three no-trump
contract.

Father Walsh Calls Prewar
IsoIationists '1ermites'
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, March l5.-Pre-
war non-interventionists were
termed academic termites" yester-
day by the Rev. Edmund A. Walsh,
S. j., vice president OF Georgetown
University, addressing the gradual
ing class of st. Joseph's College
During the 20s and 30s." Father
Walsh said, "the cohorts Of subver-
sive criticism were in full cry, mas
querading under the guise of pacif-
ism, liberalism and intellectual su-
periority.
Where now are the pseudo
liberals OF that era?" he asked
Where are the cynics and academic
termites who attempted to infect the
minds OF youth in colleges and uni
versities by subtle sarcasms leveled
at religion. at the dignity OF pa
triotism and at the fundamental
conception Of the American democ-
racy?
Silent as the tomb wherein their
moral nakedness and intellestual
bankruptcy lies buried. Or. If not
silent, they have run to cover,
changed their costumes Of pink and
red to red. white and blue, and
joined the band at the head Of the
victory parade"

Davis Commanders
Radio for Propaganda
Talks, Taft Charges
Stotions Free to Put on
Other Programs at Same
Time, owl Chief Replies
By the Associated Press.

Senator Taft, Republican, of Ohio
declared yesterday that it is both
an abuse of power and an insult to
the intelligence of the American
people and to the abilities of our free
press and radio workers for Elmer
Davis, chief of the once Of War In
formation, to commander all the
radio stations Of the United States
regularly in his series of propaganda
broadeasts."
Mr.. Davis, who began a series of
weekly radio talks Friday night, de-
MED that he broadcast any propa-
ganda or commandeered any sta
tions and said that stations are free
to present other programs at the
time of his broadcasts if they wish.
Senator Taft said in statement:
Il shall be interested in discover
ing by what authority, or pressure,
Mr.. Davis is able to command time
on the four radio networks stimuli
taneously and virtually say to the
people that they must listen to him
or turn of their radios.
Could Call on NewscaSters.
There was not one word said by
Mr. Davis in his first broadcast that
he could not have depended on the
regular radio newscasters, the COM
mentators and the newspaper writer's
to explain adequately to the country.
Both the radio and the news
papers have given the fullest Coop
Grafton to the Government in ex-
planning the war effort. Here in
| washington, Mr.. Davis has at his
call the finest corps of correspond
ents in the world And the only con-
| fusion in the Interpretation of war
activitieI has been within the Gov
ernment itself, or where the tend
ency toward censorship has made
the facts unavailable.
There is no excuse in the world
for Mr.. Davis to usurp the functions
or assume that he must go over their
heads to the people. That is, unless
Mr.. Davis has more subtle propa-
ganda program for the future than
was revealed in his first broadcast" >"
Davis Denies Charges.
Mr.. Davis replied when asked to
comment:
I'VE didn't commander any
chains or stations. We put on the
broadcast for anybody that wanted
it and tried to adjust the time to
make it most convenient for every
body.
we didn't have all four networks

he was through so that it cut three

ANY local sta ton on the chains
is at liberty to put on local pro-
! gram at the time of the broadcasts
! If it wants to.
And If Mr.. Taft will point out
any propaganda I'll greatly appre-
ciate it."

Move for Extension
OF Hull Trade Pacts
Faces Congress Fight
House Committee Likely
To Take Up Measure
Within Two Weeks

By The Associated Press,
The presence in Washington of
Anthony Eden and new successes
Of an anti-administration coalition
on Capitol Hill centered attention
today on the forthcoming congress
sional debate over the extent of
this Nations participation in post
war internal adjustments.
The first round will begin when
the House Ways and Means Com
mittee takes up a bill, probably
within two weeks. to renew the Re-
ciprocal Trade Agreements Act.
While the current visit of the
British Foreign Secretary had no
direct connection with any legisla-
ton before Congress, supporters of
reciprocal trade extension set forth
that the trade debate and Mr..
Edens talks here would deal largely
with the same postwar problems of
global reorganizations.
The recent dominance in the
House of Representatives by Repub-
licsns aided by segment of Demo-
Gratis bore directly on the fate of
the trade act, as Republican op-
ponents Of extending it already had
begun calling on Congress to re
capture" control over tariffs and
thus restore congressional preroga-
tives.
House Rejects Salary Limit.
1t was largely on the "preroga.
ha l.
overwhelmingly voted to negate
presidential order fixing wartime
salary limits at s25,0 900 after taxes.
Representatives Robertson, Demo-
crat, of Va, and Gearhart, Democrat,
OF California, both Ways and Means
members, took the lead in opposing
views on the reciprocal trade issue.
while there was obvious concern
among administration leaders on the
chances of the acts extension.
The Virginian stated the propo-
nents view as falloWs:
THE principle has been tried and
its worth proven. If, in the midst of
this world crisis. we repudiate this
principle of international co-opera-
ton, it will, I fear be construed by
all other nations Of the world as an
indication that when the war Is over
we plan to return to isolation, and
maintain an armed camp pending
the commencement of World War
No. g."
Subterfuge Charged.
Voiclng opposition, Representative
Gearhart said:
The powers delegated to the
State Department in the Trade
Agreements Act are now utilized
merely as convenient exuse for
slashing tariffs by subterfuge, as a
sugar-coating for a very bitter eco
nomic pill with which our confirmed
internationalists are dosing an un-
suspecting public. 1t is high time
that the Congress takes back, re-
captures, If you please, its constitu-
tional prerogatives and reassumes its
age-old legislative responsibilities.
The Trade Agreements Act expires
June II. The agreements were be-
gun in 1884, when Congress en-
powered Secretary of State Cordell
Hull to negotiate reciprocal pacts
with certain tariff adjustments not
requiring subsequent congressional
ratification. There now are IS
agreements in operation, many Of
them with Latin American coun-
tries.
Republicans have voted almost
solidly against the two prior exten-
sions OF the act. With their new
strength on Capitol Hill, they could
defeat another extension if, holding
their own lines, they corralled the
aid of a sufficient number of anti
administrat ton Democrats.
