Fine Points in Bridqe
BY sHETARD BARCLAY

Most players opening that hand
would have used Diamond in
stead. Though this seems not very
material, East said after the hand
that he would have bid 1-Heart
over diamond, but decided to
pass over 1-Club because he had
that suit and had noticed that in
such cases the opponents might
have misht in everything. II he
had bid 1-Heart, the East.West
pair would certainly have attained
a game contract.
After South bid his 1-spade.
North maintained the illusion OF
having something by giving a sim
gle raise. That effectually shut out
the opponents, neither OF whom
dared monkey with a situation
which would require a bid Of three
TO overcall it. The declarer went
down one trick, losing two each in
the minors, one in spades and one
in hearts, a great saving over the
vulnerable game which could have
been scored against them.

Congress is cool to the postwar
program outlined by President
Roosevelt, and the National Re-
sources Planning board. Ii is re-
ported that Congress plans to is-
more the outline and TO write one
of its own. | shudder when think
what kind OF postwar program
Congress will draw up for all OF
TIE people. when read OF the
things they are doing now, and
think Of the things they could do.
Anyway. here are few high
lights OF the program as submitted
by the President; sounds good too
The President wants everyone
to be employed. He says that
every man released from the
armed fsrces and war industries
after the var must have . job
with decent pay and good work
ing conditions.
In a statement by the President
no: so long ago, he said, I'VE shall
not be content TO give each man
$50 in cash and a ticket home
Every reasonable provision will
have TO be made TO insure these
young men shall be enabled 10 take
up their places in civilian life with
only the inevitable loss OF time
which their service will entail"
Well said, Mr.. President
There must be adequate medical
and teslih care for all regardless
of income status or place OF resi-
dence There should be federslly
aided disqualification facilities for
all
All youths must have equal &C
cess 10 educstion-from kindergsr-
ten through college. and IL neces-
sary backed up with federal fnsn-
cial assistance
There must be a broader social
security program 10 protect US in
our old age, ILLNESSES, unemploy
mcnt. etc.
A vigorous enforcement OF pro-
tective labor legislation will be
needed during the transition from
war 10 peace.
A careful and gradual demobili-
cation OF msnpower from the armed
forces and war industries into -e.v-
ilisn life has 10 be effectively car
ried out
In order 10 guard against intls-
ton. rsiioning and price controls
will have TO continue for a limited
time after the war.
Plans for urban redevelopment:
In order TO facilitate city building
and re-developmcnt improve ur-
ban living and working conditions
and stabilize employment and in
ves,ment. Cities and metropolitan
regions are urged TO make plans
