In attempting TO guess The lOCds
ton of missing honors or the dis
tribution of a specific suit, it is our
policy to resort to. percentages or
probabilities only when no other evi-
dence is available. Any clue picked
up at the table should be assigned
more weight than an abstract math-
ematical proposition. Todays hand
illustrates what we have in mind.
The bidding was quite regular.
West held what some players regard
as an optional opening, but prop
erly chose to pass because of the
probable difficulties that might be
encountered in finding a rebid.
North elected to open with one club
because his hand was not quite up
to the standard of a no-trump bid,
and spade opening might present
a rebidding problem on the next
round. The bidding thereafter was
routine.
Vests opening lead was the king
Of hearts, followed by a prompt
shift to the three of diamonds, hop
ing to put declarer to the guess II
he did not hold the queen. De-
clarer's play at this point makes no
difference, but he did put up the
king, which, of course. held. He
then returned to his hand with the
jack of clubs and took the spade
| finesse.
North was somewhat critical Of
his play, contending that the finesse
should not have been taken with 10
trumps. South referred to the per-
centage tables to show that the
finesse was the proper procedure
with three cards missing. after
ALL" he pleaded, II didn't have
look" North was right, but not for
the reason he assigned. He too had
missed the point.
1t is true that percentages favor
the finesse with 10 when the king
is missing. But declarer had bet
ter clue than the percentage tables.
At the end of trick two, West is
marked almost to certainty with
the ace-king of hearts and the ace
of diamonds. If he also held the
guarded king of spades it is quite in
conceivable that he would have
chosen to pass as dealer. A player
will frequently pass a holding Of
three honor tricks, but it is not
sound business to count on any one
having passed three and half
tricks. East is therefore marked
with the king of spades, and the
only hope is that it is alone.
To pick off the single king would
have been a good illustration Of
playing by ear.
Tomorrow's Problem.

When congress meets it must con-
slider the report of the mission of
educators who were sent to the
American zone by the state and war
departments to study education in
Germany. They came back with a
careful and detailed study, includ-
ing a description of conditions and
a set of recommendation which, If
they can be carried out, will have
vital effect in building democracy
in Germany. :"
Perhaps an educational system
based on the American model may
not be sufficient to democratize
Germany but / think it is no ex-
aggeration to state that without such
system, democracy never will be
achieved in the Reich.
I had the privilege of attending a
conference presided over by William
Benton, assistant secretary Of state
in charge of public affairs, at which
Chairman Zook and members Of the
educational mission were present.
I came away deeply impressed, not
only with the factual data present.
ed-Q was familiar with some Of
the data)-but also with the impor-
tance of the program as a means
Of determining whether democracy
or totalitarianism will dominate
western Europe and perhaps the
world. ~

LABOR:
NetU Demands

New contract demands by the
auto, farm equipment and mine
unions left Americans wondering il
new wave of strikes was in the
offing just as production appeared
to be getting into full swing. With
increased output, consumers saw
more goods at lower prices.
Acknowledgment interest CEN

ers offensive against the Chrysler
corporation for wage increases cor
responding to the rise in the cost OF
living since the union was granted
an 18k cent an hour boost last jan
uary.
In pressing its offensive against
Chrysler in the hope of establishing
a wage pattern for the entire indus,
try, the UAW disclosed it would ask
for minimum increase of 16 cents
an hour to take care of the 12R per
cent rise in the cost of living since
last January. A boost of 26 cents
an hour will be demanded if the
cost Of living should soar 20 per
cent or 33 cents if the rise reaches
rs per cent.
Farm Equipment-In reopen
ing contract negotiations with In
ternational Harvester, the CIO-Farm
Equipment Workers asked that union
members ''be allowed to share in
the prosperity of the company and
the country" Harvester spokesmen
denied the allegation that the firm
would treble its best prewar profits
In 1946.
Besides hitting for substantial
pay increases, the FEW also will
seek a guaranteed annual wage as
suring a minimum of 40 hours COM
pensation for each of 81 weeks.
COal-Charging the government
with violating the contract with the
United Mine. Workers under which
the U. S. is operating the nations
soft coal pits, UNIV Chieftain John
L. Lewis called for a new pact en-
bodying revised wages and hours.
