Opening lead, jack of spades.
Where the bidding is weak the
play must be strong, it seems to me,
If a player Is to survive this era of
heavy taxes. Well, the South of to-
days hand means to survive.
Let us examine the bidding for a
moment. North's opening of one dia-
mond is not the accepted practice
which calls for bid of one spade
(the suit below the doubleton). No
response can embarrass the opener.
II South should bid two hearts he
has his choice of raising or bidding
two no-trump. If South should bid
two clubs he has rebid of two dia-
monds in store.
South's response of one heart and
the rebid of one spade are routine.
South then elected to jump to two
no-trump with only a partial club
stopper, with which we will not
quarrel. North, feeling that he had
considerably more than he had pre-
viously shown by his two bids at
the level of one, called four no.
trump. The student will observe
that this is not intended as Black
wood bid. The most enlightened
thought on the subject is that such
call is not conventional, unless
there has been an agreement on a
trump either expressly or by i'm
pllcatlon. This is merely a raise of
the no-trump. South may take it or
leave it. South preferred to take it.
A very doubtful choice.
The jack of spades was opened
and taken by the queen. Only 10
tricks are in immediate view. An
additional club trick may be there If
West has both honors or a double
ton one OF which is an honor. The
low club to dummy's jack went to
East's king and a spade was re-
turned. When the ace of clubs
dropped the queen, declarer had II
tricks in high cards and a three-suit
squeeze was indicated.
The ace of spades was cashed. de-
clarer shedding a diamond. Then
the jack of hearts and another heart
to close the hand. The ten of clubs
was then cashed and West let go
spade and dummy diamond. Now
the remaining two hearts are run.
West must hold his spade to take
care OF the three of spades in dummy,
SO he must part with one of his
diamonds. Dummy lets go the three
OF spades which has no further use.
East is now reduced to the nine of
clubs and three diamonds. He can
not let go the club since declarers
eight will become good so he is
obliged to discard a diamond. Now
all OF dumny's diamonds are good,

OF the six Presidential assistants whom the late
President Roosevelt described as men with a
passion for anonymity" President Roosevelt
while in the White House paid the salaries of two
private secretaries, and Mrs. Roosevelt paid one
secretary. When necessary they hired extras.
Their affairs mutifarious and they were
satisfied only with expert assistants. This ran
into money, but not to any sum which could have
caused them much concern, considering the mode
of life to which they had been accustomed
President Roosevelt paid the salary of Rey-
nolds, his butler, and the wages of servants who
were brought from Hyde Park and New York
special occasions Besides the butler regu-
larly, there waS-a second man, a chauffeur a
private cook first, second and third maids and
a laundress. Mr.. Truman never had such a ret.

and there the staff has been reduced. .s~-+,,e
Like the other White House employees, the
police force there came over from another branch
OF the government The police, charged with the
protection OF the White House establishment in
general and the surrounding grounds, under
the Treasury Department and their salaries are
paid by it,
The Secret Service operatives at the White
6Iouse also are from the Treasury Department.
In the White Houses east wing are the of.
fices Of John w. Snyder. Director of War
Mobilization and ReconVersion. Ii is an i'm.
portant office and its work is complex.
War and postwar work adds TO the scope Of the
duties perf0. ned there. This has meant, and still
does mean, crowding here and there. Some Of
the functions of the White House had to be trans
ferred to the adjacent State Department building.
In that building, for example, were the offices

$4,000. Congress, in April, 1943, nullified the
order BY amending the Public Debt Limit Bill.
The short.lived limitation, even If it had been
extended indefinitely of course, would have given
no financial twfnge to Mr.. Roosevelt. His private
income was $4,000 year.
Harry Trumans position is one in sharp con.
trast. Soda clerk. newsboy, railway paymaster
successful merchant notably successful politician
he has worked diligently paid his debts, learned
his various jobs, and come through the hard way
TO position of great trust.
TOMING to il that way he hasn't piled up
- stack of bonds with coupons ready for the
shears. He isn't a President who can depend on
a big steady family income to pay part Of his
current expenses
He still must keep an eye on payday
He remembers having heard that when Presi-
dent Roosevelt was five years old his parents took
him to the White House. President Cleveland.
then in office patted him on the head, and said
Young man may you never have to be Presi.

Presidents. Times were easier then and a man
with few dollars in his pocket could make them
do more than he can today
Realizing this, and realizing that many a sue
CcSsor may be in Mr. Truman's financial post
tion, too, many Congressman believe there should
be no more delay in raising the Presidents salary
They feel the country will be behind them
in the idea that the President ought not have

They think the country will stand back of

For the mansion and grounds there is a force
