eyer Goren on Bridoe

Innumerable cases arise at the
bridge table in which one partner
is anxious to reach the others hand
in hurry and he is up against a
guess as to how to do SO in the
early stages of the play. AS the
hand develops partners usually
have the opportunity to use the
ordinary signals, by means of high
and low discards. But many times
it is necessary for defender to
obtain this information before dis
cards can be made. To answer this
need the modern "suit preference
convention" has been introduced
South became declarer at con-
tract of five diamonds. North's
raise to only three diamonds may
appear to be unduly cautious, but,
in fact, it is good strategy. South
may wish to play the hand at
three no trump and he should not
be deprived of the opportunity by
a raise to four diamonds. South
was undecided whether to bid three
no trump or five diamonds and
chose the latter.
West opened the deuce of clubs,
an obvious singleton. This was won
in dummy and East followed with
the three. The ace of trumps was
driven out and West had to guess
how to give his partner the lead.
With no clue to guide him he
elected to lead the jack of hearts
and the declarer romped off with
the rest of the tricks, the clubs
being established for three spade
discards. A spade lead would have
defeated the contract. There was
no way I could tell you, partner"
was East's comment. Il had no
chance to signal
But there was a way. The suit
preference convention provides that
when a defender makes an un-
natural play that is obviously not
normal signal, it should be in
terpreted as indicating which of the
remaining suits he desires led. An
unnecessarily high card (which is
! obviously not come-on signaD
calls for the higher ranking suit
and an unnecessarily low card for
the lower ranking suit. On the first
club play East should have dropped
| the jack of clubs This is obviously
not a signal to continue clubs. 1t
must therefore be interpreted as a
message to partner to lead the
higher ranking of the two remain
ing suits, spades. When West is in
with the ace of trumps he need not
guess.

Director Region 2B, UAW-ClO

MINNEAPOLIS, July 16 Just who
started the idea that wage boosts cause nfla-
ton is a question, but the idea is about the
silliest thing that was ever put into words.
Wage boosts never have caused and never
will cause initiation, for the simple reason that
wages never have been boosted until after
prices have been lacked up. The wages of the
workers are only raised after prices and be-
cause the workers fight to get their wages
boosted How then can anyone say that wages
bring about initiation?
Unemployment is increasing rapidly.
Plants like Willow Run which have been bee
hives of industrial activity for the past three
years are now turning into ghosts plants.
Thousands laid off in this and similar plants
have lost their purchasing power or had it
sharply reduced; but prices have not been re-
duced. When wages go down and prices
main stationary that is inflation-prce initiation,
and deflation-wage deflation.
TAKE HOME PAY
Incomes of American workers are being
sharply reduced due to cancellation of govern
mental contracts, cutbacks and reduced work
ing hours, still the prices of food, rents and
other commodities used by the workers and
consumers remain the same, or in some cases
have actually increased.
If we are to prevent a breakdown in our
economy the workers take home pay must re-
main at its present level. For this reason, the
labor unions are insisting that the workers re-
ceive the same pay for 40 hours work which
they are now receiving for the longer work
week. This move is being resisted because we
are told it will cause initiation
The only possible alternative for giving
the workers the same take home pay which
they are now receiving would be to cut the
price of commodities SO that the workers and
consumers could purchase the same amount of
commodities which they have been able to buy
at their present wages. Nobody believes that
this will be done, because those who control
the prices of commodities, the OPA, are more
interested in helping maintain prices than they
are in controlling them based on the wages of
the workers.
~ AS wage increases always follow price in
creases, so they always are lowered before
prices are dropped This condition always leads
to hardships upon the workers, for until such
time that prices and wages are brought into
balance the wage earners are unable to pur-
chase the things in the amount which they
need them Under such condition a surplus
of commodities piles up and prices must even
tually be lowered in order to move them
4 Our task at the present time is to insist
that our wages be brought into line with the
price of commodities, rather than wait and
suffer until prices are adjusted into balance
with wages. ~
