What would you, as defender, play from the East cards2 Should you put on the nine or the king2
 The lead of the deuce by your partner shows that he holds four hearts. The question is, what two hearts does the declarer hold9 Let us assume that he has the two best hearts, the ace and jack; then you can play anything you like, because 1t won't make any difference. If he has the jack, and Q small heart the correct play is obviously tho king. If he holds, let us say, the ace and four of hearts, you may say that you lose trick if you

Morine Engineers
Emo Strike On
East, Gulf Coasts

New York (FP) - The 21-day
strike of maritime operating per-
sonnel was well ON its way to set
tlement here Oct. 81 as the Marine
Engineers Beneficial Association
signed an agreement ending is
walkout on the east and gulf
coasts.
The contract, reached with rep
resentatives of A shipping COM
panies after long sessions with a
federal conciliator, was expected to
set the pattern for an early agree
ment between operators and the
Masters Mates q Pilots, which has
been out jointly with the CIO men.
The settlement, which affects
$1,000 men, did not extend, how
ever, to the west coast where oper-
ators have broken off negotiations
with the unions. Chief MEBA ne
gotiator T.. p. Trainer indicated
that similar terms would probably
be sought from Pacific shippers.

THE CHERRY TREE

Mr.. Molotov, the voluble Rus
sian, keeps the pot boiling by de-
claiming that the United States is
under the thumb of the National
Association of Manufacturers
when it comes to foreign policy.
Mr.. Molotov talks of a secret
NAM, in which the orders were
cooked up. He is very sure of him
self, this Mr.. Molotov. He knows
just what makes things tick in the
United States.
This pronouncement from the
Russian citadel came on the heels
of speech by our Mr.. Byrnes, in
which the United States Secretary
of State pleaded for a degree of
mutual trust and in which he said
we are firm but not tough.
1t looked, on the face of the Rus
sian charges, as if tht speech of
Mr.. Byrnes had not registered with
any degree of accuracy in Moscow
headquarters. And it didn't speak
very well for Russian agreement
on the recent speech by Mr.. Stain.
There are many who think that
all doesn't go too well within the
soviet borders, that there is not
complete agreement among Rus
sian leaders on what they want to
say and do.
That may be the case, to some
degree, and yet there is too much
evidence to indicate that any min
ority can get away with very much
in soviet land.
We have to assume, on the basis
of performance, that the voice of
the leaders is the only voice that
counts.
Thus, Russia charges that our
foreign policy is made by the N.
A. M.
And that is a lot of hog wash.
Goodness knows, the N. A. NJ.
has enongh of black in its record.

3 Moior Truckers
Meet Union Terms

New York (FP) - Three major
defections from the ranks of hold
out truck operators have brought
the 7-week trucking strike here
near it's end.
Closely paralleling the socalled
Bohack formula under which large
numbers Of smaller operators had
previously settled with the unions
involved, the Safeway Stores Inc
chain Oct. 10 signed an agreement
providing a 81 cents hourly wage
increase and the 40-hour week for
its SEQ teamsters and warehouse
men.
The Safeway signing followed
hard on the heels of the agree
ments by the Great Atlantic &
Pacific Tea Co. and the Gristede
chain. The contract was signed
with Local Gal, International
Brotherhood Of Teamsters, while
the other signed with Local S07
largest Of the three locals involved
in the strike
Federal conciliator Lucien F.
Rye has entered the picture here in
an effort to hasten settlements
with the State Trucking Associa-
ton, which has continued to reject
the unions terms and compromises
offered by Mayor William m
O'Dwyer.

1t has been a power in our political
life.
But the n. A. NJ. simply is not
power of any consequence in
fixing our foreign policy today.
Beyond question it wields nowhere
near the power welded by the
American Federation of Labor.
The soviet leaders simply do not
understand the workings of affairs
in this country and seemingly they
find it either impossible or unad-
visable to learn.
Relations between the two coun-
tries do not improve. If there are
moments when they seem better,
as for example right after the
Stain speech, there are immedi-
ately following moments when the
bull is again loose in the china
shop.
If it is true that the soviets do
not believe the two political and
economic ideologies = communist
and democratic can live in the
same world, it would at least make
matters no worse if there were
clear understanding of the fact.
1t rIuld be nice to be sure.
But while that is the case, it is
an inescapable fact that any nation
bent upon enlarging it's sphere of
influence, or its sphere of occupa-
ton, does everything within the
range of possibilities to see to it
that others are not sure-to keep
the air clouded, to wage war on
nerves.
We are told by someone almost
every day that neither the United
States nor Russia wants war and
quite probably that it true. Neither
can afford war, Russia much less
than we.
If the only reason we are not
planning war NOW is in the fact
that neither nation can afford it
NOW; if neither nation wants war
NOW because neither is ready,
dose that mean one or the other,
or both, will want it when either or
"both are ready?
Let US hope that is not the case,
for war, when one or both are
ready, will be war of such devas-
tating proportions as to leave little
if anything worth while for either
victor or loser.
This the United States under
stands. But does Russia under
stand it? If she doesn't, she had
better get started toward under
standing.
A way MUST be found to pre-
vent war, not only now, but per-
1t is world responsible
ty. Our alternatives are destruc-
ton, or a world of magnificent
plenty.
Is there any sense in choosing
1t is true that we can
De forced to accept war, at the OPP
ion of another nation, but let US
10 more than our full part to make
world peace and friendship the OBJ
yiously better way. Let us hope
he Molotovs can somehow come to
accept the evidence of democratic
good faith.-CMW.
