. MCKINNEY ON BRIDGE
BY WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY
Americas Card Authority

The Eastern Tournament in New
York City produced an unusual
number of interesting hands this
year. Today's hand, given to me
by Sam Katz of Millburn, N. j.,
was one of the finest.
1t looks as if South, getting in
with the ace of diamonds, will give
his partner club ruff, then an
other ruff wren he gets in with the
king Of spades. Can you see any
way to avoid that?
Here is the play. Declarer must
lead the king of hearts from dunn
my. North has bid hearts and de-
clarer plays him for the ace. On
the king of hearts West must dis
card his losing diamond. Now South
has only one entry, the king Of
spades, and therefore cannot give
his partner two club ruffs.
This is one Of those tantalizing
hands that keep you awake at night.

pening to quality in low cost goods.
Their report is expected to be
ready in about a week. It may be
followed by a general going-over
of clothing prices and quality.
WHAT PRICE WATERMELONS
Watermelons-not just to look
at, but at new ceiling prices you
can afford-should be more plen-
tiful this year. Last years run
away prices inspired farmers to
add about third to the 1913 ma
tional acreage Of watermelons. It
will still be somewhat under the
ten-year pre-war acreage.
This year Office of Price Ad-
ministration will have ceiling
prices on watermelonS which
promise to bring price tags in
sight, and discourage farmers
from turning the country into a
watermelon patch.
Watermelons are regarded as a
pariah in the wartime food pro-
gram, taking labor, supplies and
land needed for more essential
items.
ODDS AND ENDS
A big milk supply is expected
for the next few months, but War
Food Administration is trying to
get as much Of it as possible into
cheese, powdered milk and other
dairy products going overseas to
feed the Army. Under this ar
rangement, less milk will have to
be taken from civilian supplies
when production falls off later in
the season OPA says increases
will be made on some low-priced
brands of matted milk You
will pay about three cents more
for a 20-ounce package of rolled
oats under new ceiling prices.

CATTLE MARKET:
Prices Strong

Large government purchases Of
1ow-grade beef, and decreased hog
shipments in the face of big demand,
will tend to keep market prices at
a high level this fall and winter, the
department of agriculture reported
Because of the sale of more range
cattle than last year, however, and
the relatively smaller marketings of
finished grades, overall prices may
average lower than in 1943. With
much larger prospective supply.
calves are also expected to fall be-
low last years prices.

POSTWAR INDUSTRY:
Fear Concentration

To prevent the concentration of in
dustry in II northern and eastern
states in the postwar period, SEN
ate committee recommended that
the government stand against the re-
conversion of its war plants in these
states to civilian production.
Indicating the possibilities of such
concentration, the committee point
ed out that before the war these IL
states produced IS per cent of the
nations manufa ctured goods and re-
ceived 81 per cent of all plants and
facilities erected by the government
for the war effort.
Besides calling for a shifting of
war production to the south and west
after Germany's downfall, the COM
mittee recommended an adjustment
of freight rates, attention to patents,
and chronological aid to small in
dustrialists as part of a long range
program for stabilizing business in
these areas.
