LET WELL ENOUGH ALONE

HOW OFTEN we have seen a
redouble the opponents into
q worthwhile sacrifice. Many 9TH
erWise SOUND players perpetrate
that mistake, not being willing to
let well enough alone. Unless you
are really willing to play against
any bid your opponents may make
over your own, or unless you are
well prepared to overcall them
again at the next higher level, it is
usually unWise to redouble. But if
you do redouble, and they then
overcail you because Of it, don't
let your anger make you bid
again at the higher stage and only
get yourself set in an impossible
contract.

Freeze On Meat Prices
By Government Likely

The feeder subsidy has been rec
commended both by Senate and
House food investigation commit
tees. but no amount ever has been
suggested formally The proposed
subsidy would give feeders 80 cents
a hundredweight extra for all beef
sent to market, regardless OF the
weight Of animals when bought on
the range
Informed Congressman said the
subsidy also could be used as
check on black market operations.
It would require that feeders GER
tify the number and weight OF
animals they buy and make SINH
lar certification when they sell to
slaughterers, showing what plants
make the purchase. That would
give a complete cattle inventory
and show how much meat slips
out of regular channels and into
black market slaughtering pens.
Apparently dropped from the
new program is a suggestion for
fixing quotas at the big cattle mar
kets, allocating live cattle from
the range to certain market areas.
Cattlemen objected that they could
not split up their shipments among
markets and could not risk send
ing beef to market only to find
that market already at a quota
ceiling and unable to buy.
