On Voting and Social
Security Prescription
(from Republican Natl. Committee,
by Arthur B. McCaw)

Charleston, West Virginia-Gov-
ernor Thomas E. Dewey came tc
this southern state and bearded the
lion Of colorphobia in his den and to
expose the hypocrisy Of his opponent
on that issue. He was given one OF
the greatest ovations of the campaign
before and after addressing an over
flow throng at the Municipal Audit
orlum, where he was wildly applaud
ed when he spoke in part as follows
Beyond victory, what kind of q
country will our American men and
wome come home to? This elect
ion will decide that question. VIZ
have a fateful decision to make but
that decision must be made, no on
vague and irresponsible discussion,
but on the facts. On Thursday night
OF a few weeks ago my opponent re-
peated his charge that there are
politicians and other who quite OPEN
ly worked to restrict the use Of the
ballot in this election"
Now | do not know who Mr..
Roosevelt means because he seems to
lack the courage to name names and
say what he means. So let's look at
the facts.
He sadly complained that not e.
ough people vote. Bue he pointed
with pdide to the fact that in 1910,
81 u percent Of the eligible voters Of
this nation went TO the polls.
And let me point out, my oppon-
ent is relying for his main support
upon solid block of votes in states
where millions of American citizens
are deprived of their right to vote
by the poll tax and by intimidation.
Not enc in IL years has my oppon-
ent lifted a finger to correct this,
and his platform is c~ynically silent
on the subject.
I'VE ade pledged to an expanding
social security for the people Of this
country. Twenty million Americans
have been forgotten by this Admin
istration in the nine long years the
old age pension laws have been on
the books.
1--WE are pledged that our. govern
ment shall not again use its powers
to set race against race, creed against
creed, or class against class. We are
pledged to a government which has
equal respect for the rights of agri-
culture, labor and business, and for
every race, creed and color.
Il say there is a better way. |
have outlined much of that way In
detail. Ten million returning heroes
will demand hat better way under
the freedom they have fought to win
Under divine guidance they will have
here a land of security with freedom
and opportunity for all"

LEARN BRIDGE FAST
6-Scoring In Contract

MUCH OF the lure Of contract
comes from the fact that the pair
with the stronger hands in a deal
will usually try to bid as high as
1t safely can. because that is the
way to score the most. In doing
that, it frequently gets high
enough for reasonable doubt as to
whether its contract can be made.
Consequently. its high bidding has
put the weaker opponents in the
contest, giving them a possible
chance to beat the contract.
Scoring Is done on a pad or
sheet OF paper ruled with verti-
cal line into two columns. with
I'VE" at the top Of one and "They"
at the top Of the other. About a
third way up from the bottom Is
a horizontal line. Below that line
no points are scored except those
for the value OF tricks bid for and
won. II the contract is clubs or
diamonds, the value Of such tricks
L. 20 apiece. il hearts or spades 80
each, and II No Trumps 40 for the
FIRST one and 80 for each addi-
tional one. Those values are dou-
bled II contract is doubled. and
quadrupled IL ii Is redoubled.
When pair gets total Of 100
points in trick points" below the
line, 1t scores a game. indicating
II by drawing a pencil line cross
wise under It's last score. A new
game then starts. and any trick
points" which either side had on
its way toward one game cannot
count toward the next.
Play keeps o. until one side has
won the "ru;-oer game" That
means, II has won a second game.
II II does this without the oppo-
nents winning any game. it writes
a premium score Of 700 for game
above the line. But IL the oppo-
nents won one game, so that il
was q case Of two out Of three,
the rubber premium is only 500.
All other scores are recorded in

line. This includes rewards for
