Election Lesson

A British commentator on American
affairs recently said that the United
States was moving to the fright" poll

WORLD was tending toward the cleft"
A more accurate view would be to
say that the United States seems to
be moving back to it's philosophy of
maximum freedom and opportunity for
all-while much of the rest of the
world is, willingly or not, being SUBJ
Jected to the defeatist philosophy of
the %super-state with it's regimented
peoples.
The recent elections were headlined
as a victory for the Republican party,
Its first Of national significance since
1t became the minority party in 1882.

ever, it is clear that the elections, for
the most part, indicated a strong, CO.

Tree OF the "isms" which have so long
afflicted US. The Democrats, as well
as the Republicans, won seats in Con-
gress and state governorships, generally
typified this point of view.
The wisdom of the American voter
is traditional, and he exhibits it again
and again. We as a people, accepted

Last May a group of eastern
bridge players flew in a chartered
plane to California to attend Bridge
Week. This group formed a little
club known as the Bridgairs and
now they have chartered a plane
to fly to Hollywood, Fla, Cor the
national tournament at the Holly
wood Beach Hotel Dec. 8 to Is.
They are making plans for a
chartered flight to South America
next year to play against the out
standing players there.
1t is always interesting to listen
to an explanation of a hand by
Harry J. Fishbeia of New York,
one Of the Bridgairs. He has a
style all his own and his explana-
ton is always very clear.
We were discussing today's hand
on one Of our recent plane trips,
and Harry said, what does The

still has a losing hear: and a posi-
BILE club loser. The player who
refuses to think takes the club
finesse,. it loses, he goes down, and
says hard luck. If the king of
clubs had been right, he would
have made it.
But declarer S h u d know
from the bidding that West does
not have the king of clubs, be-
cause he would not bid three with
a six-card suit headed by the ace
king-queen and a side king. So
the only thing to do is to cash the
ace and king Of hearts and lead
the third heart. hoping that East
will have to win.
EAST does win, and has 70 lead
either the fourth heart, which
gives declarer a stuff and a ruff.
or a club right in the ace.queen."

hand when a simple play like this

When we built our Swarthmore
home, more than thirty years ago,
we provided two large attic spaces.
under the caves. "The dark
closets, we call them, since they
are without windows. They fasten
only from the outside.
One day Milady and our older
son, a boy of seven or eight years
were rummaging for something in
tn attic, when suddenly the door
slammed, shutting out light and
air. The outside spring lock was
strong, and there was no way OF
opening it. Nobody else was in the
house or expected until my return
in the evening.
I'VE can only pray, said Milady;
and pray the two of them did.
While they were yet praying, a
neighboring playmate came into
the house, Anthony Hoadley, now
Professor Hoadley. He was famil-
lar with the two lower floors OF
our home, but had never seen the
third. Finding nobody at home on
the first floor or the second, he
went up to the third. where he
heard muffled voices from the dark
closet, and quickly released the i'm

TOP O. THE
An Evil, Monstrous Thing

In imposing fines upon John L. Lewis
and his United Mines Workers union,
Judge T. Alan Goldsborough gave voice
to momentous sentiments which the
American people have reason to ponder
deeply, He called the coal strike an
"evil, demoniac, monstrous thing" which
means hunger and cold and unemploy-
ment and restitution" He said it
threatened democratic government: eff
actions of this kind can be successfully
persisted in, the government will be
overthrow, and the government that
would take it's place would be a dicta-
torship." He added: IF it becomes a
question of the destruction of this
union or the preservation of this re-
public, the republic is going to be pre-
served"
All the raving Lewis is capable of,
all the arguments the union attorneys
can bring forward to stave off execu-
ton of the courts decision, cannot
change the %undeniable truth of Judge
Goldsborough's u~tterances. The coal
strike is an evil, monstrous thing that
already has brought unemployment to
tens of thousands of workers outside
the Lewis union and suffering in thous-
ands of homes. If the mine union should
be successful, it would have laid the
foundation for a dictatorship which, as
the Judge further declared, would first
destroy labor unions"
If the issue is destruction of this
un1on-or any union-and destruction
OF the republic, the republic will be
preserved. There should be no question
about that. The question is, what shall
be done next? Judge %Goldsborough has
issued a temporary injunction against
Lewis and his union, under which both
can again be fined as heavily or heavie,
than before if they fail to carry out thu
order Of the court.
If this process should be repeated
again and again both would be i'm.
poverished. But this process would b.
