we are SltClng as jury To-Day. Ihe
case was submitted just a few days
ago by the participants, who since
its occurrence have been waging a
sharp battle. All the evidence in the
case appears above and we are
asked to fix the guilt for missing the
slam.
There were several arguments ad-
vanced by the itigants. North con-
tended that it was not an especially
desirable slam since it required the
diamond finesse. This argument is
ruled out as fallacious. The slam
depended upon the success of one of
two illnesses. If either of them was
favorable the contract was home.
North lost sight of the fact that the
spade finesse had already lost, which
balanced the luck of the winning
diamond flnesse. When a fnesSe
depends upon either one of two
illnesses it is virtually mandatory for
good players to bid it. The odds are
three to one in favor of the declarer.
In other words the chances are three
to one that one of two even money
bets will come through.
North further contended that his
four heat bid was a slam try and
that when he showed the heart sup
port he had done full justice to his
holding. We are not inclined to
agree with him entirely. The four
heart bid is not necessarily a slam
try. 1t may merely be asking part
ner to take choice of trump suits.
The spade bid might have been
made on a rather weak four card
holding as far as South is concerned,
and North may merely be trying to
indicate a preference for hearts as
trump.
North should size up his own hand
as follows: II have a hand that
is as good as an opening bid. My
partner has opened the bidding and
jumped. The hand fits well so there
is probable slam. Since partner
has two losing diamonds. shall pull
my punches and bid only five, which
contract is surely safe"
Such a bid would have made it
Snoy 1oA AoOubli w U1d LliC SlllCC
his hand contains all the controls.
AS the bidding actually did progress
South was put to some pressure. MY
own feeling is that South might
have been slightly more venture
some. He was well within himself
on the jump to three spades, and
since he subsequently learned that
hn ~ ,<xIof
have made one more try.
North is known to have good
hand, since if it were of the mediocre
type his best response would have
been a simple raise to two hearts
in preference to complicating mat
ters with a spade bid in the mean
time. South has all the important
key cards, knows that the hand fits
superbly, and I think might have
given his partner one more chance
to recover from an unduly timid bid.

merrily and efficiently.
Here delegates to the assembly of
the United Nations, split up into
groups, tackle the various subjects
allotted to them just as the COM
mittees of congress discuss the bills
and agree upon their form before
they are submitted to the commit
tee of the whole house" for con-
sideration and action.
The difference is that the assem-
bly,, unlike congress, cannot pass
laws, it can only express the will of
the majority. Its value is to register,
before the world, world opinion as
expressed by the nations which make
up the United Nations. This is the
first step toward a world govern
ment whose chief purpose is to po-
lice the world against war.
While the committee meetings
were taking place the security coun-
Gil, which compares roughly with the
senate, held some of its meetings in
the same building, for unlike the as
sembly, which meets only once
year, the security council is a con-
tinuing body.
The Council of Foreign Ministers,
which also is meeting in New York,
is a body entirely separate from the
United Nations.

UNHAPPY HUSBAND

Ethel Dauis is thoroughly sell

mother, but she ,uants all the
freedom Of her single days, plus
the security and support to Which
q married ,coman is entitled.
although her children are very

old, she leaves them in the care
Of high school girls and old

or card parties, topped of ,Uith

Her house is neglected. She has
little interest in her home er-
cept to cuddle her children no,o

Poor Ferd Davis is trying to
go along Nth her as best he can,
but he is reaching the end of his
tether.
# he could he would settle on
a farm that he has recently in
herited from his father, but he
kno,os that Ethel would refuse
to leave the city. He doesn't care
about Ethel any longer, but he
dearly loues his children. He is

what of Sharon and Ferd? I'd die
for my kids, but don't seem to know
how to live for them. Is there any
way out of this mess? I've gotten
so low that hate to 60 on living"
I think there is way out of this
mess, Ferd, and you indicate your
self what it might be. Many man
could take it, when faced with your
problem, but not quite so simply as
you can.
Go to the Farm.
Tell Ethel that you have decid-
ed to live on the farm with the chill
dren. Any man has the right to
decide that he will be a farmer in
stead of city clerk. Move out there,
perhaps notifying certain shops in
your city that you are closing your
account with them. If you must
borrow to get the farm paying; bor-
row. Chickens and milk, potatoes
and apples are bringing higher
prices than they ever have in the
history of the world.
tLnel Will nave 10 come WIN you,
or leave you. Either way you will
have the right to make terms. You
cannot possibly take care of babies
of and in city apartment, but
you'll have no trouble with them on
a farm. The nearest. farmers wife
will run their clothes through her
washing machine, and they'll be with
you all day long, in child's para
disc.
The other day I was asked in a
QUESTIONABLE what quality l thought

the worldly success of fame and
wealth, independence and security.
After some reflection said "imagi-
nation" Whether it's running a
boarding house or writing a novel,
you must have imagination if you
are to escape from the rut, see far
enough ahead to discern a shining
goal. Put your imagination to work,
Ferd, upon just what this turning of
the tables will mean to a selfish,
extravagant. stupid wife. Get back
to the soil. and give your wife every
chance to accompany you. If she
won't, she forfeits income, position,
home, and she cannot claim ali
mony. If she comes, there's just a
chance that she may wake up into
real womanhood.

Powerful Committees
Are in the Making

The work of the committees of
the assembly covers a wide scope,
since besides offering the sounding
board for world opinion and con-
trolling the pursestrings of the whole
organization, the committees like
wise supervise the several impor-
tant subsidiary agencies, some of
which will become extremely pow
erful when and if they carry out
the duties planned for them. For
instance, the many plans for i'm
proving living standards and social
relations Throughout the world,
which is the purpose of the econom-
ic and social council, and the project
ed trusteeship council which will
oversee the relationship between the
dependent countries and the nations
held responsible for their control and
welfare.
Another important function of the
assembly is initiating amendments
to the charter, and this session bris-
tied with talk among the smaller
countries for amending provisions
governing the power of the veto in
security council.

Americans Conscious
OF Foreign Policy

Most Americans do not realize
how far this nation has gone in the
establishment of foreign policy
built on popular desire. In the past,
the foreign policy of the United
States always had been a rather
vague thing to people in general,
something evolved behind a screen
of formal phrases in the ancient
high-ceilinged offices of the old state
department building, where they still
have marble fireplaces that really
work in some of the rooms.
In the early days the subject was
kept out of domestic politics simply
because the politicians knew that the
people knew as little as they did as
to what it was all about and didn't
care any more. Then came the IA
nous Wilson versus Lodge fight over
the League of Nations, which was
really something far deeper than
that, fight of two powerful person
alities and two different concepts of
government-not world government
but domestic government. Lodge
and Wilson became so definitely
committed to their own respective
views that they couldn't afford to
compromise.
After that, each party considered
it fair game to rip the other up the
back when it came to a discussion on
foreign affairs and the fine old tradi-
ton (Which was really a negative
thing) foreign affairs ends at the
shore line." was split wide open.
And then the bloody conflict of
World War II made people realize
that Democratic and Republican
blood when it flowed on the battle
field was the same color and
caused the same gaping wounds at
home.
The campaign which we have just
witnessed, while it was character
lied with the same old fuss and fury
of the past, omitted the question of
foreign policy except when it was
raised by persons already discredit-
ed by both major parties.
That is the hope, as I see it, for
American dominance, for the domi-
nance of the American idea of hui
man freedom. We have learned that
when it comes to facing the world,
we meet it shoulder to shoulder as
Americans and nothing else.

At the meeting of the budgetary
committee, Senator Vandenberg got
in sly dig when he suggested that
if the other nations felt the Amer
lean economic system was so good
that it could put up half the money
to run the organization perhaps they
might adopt similar system. Capt.
talist America would pay 49.89 per
cent of U. MS bills while Communist
Russia, although much greater in
size and population, would provide
6 per cent in the plan submitted.
OF course, any amount balanced

CATTLE POISONED BY METAL

Molybdenum poisoning has been
playing havoc with dairy herds in
a 400-square-mile area of California,
largely in Kern county, reports the
University Of California.
An overabundance of molybdenum
in pastures of the area has been
shown by recent studies to be the
cause of the disease, which devel-
ops slowly. Cattle are made ill
only after weeks of feeding in the
contaminated pastures. They be-
come emaciated and ansmic and
their coats fade.

TOW is it that a woman
II like Ethel Davis can get
Bell Syndicate.-WNU Featurei

r TOW is it that a woman
- like Ethel Davis can get
i i away with what she does?
How is it that while thousands
of women are steadily meeting
their obligations as wives and
mothers, Ethel can break every
law in the book, and not be
thrown out of society as the out
law she is?
All wives have faults; so have
all men. We all fail each other part
of the time. A wife can be irritable
when she is tired, but that may
make her only the more loving and
sorry when the time comes to make
up. A wife may be extravagant in
one glazing instance, but she is sor-
ry for it, and little scared, when
the milliner's bill comes in, and
she makes Toms favorite dessert
for dinner and resolves to wear that
hat for two solid seasons. A wife
may know that she is too fussy, or
too suspicious, or too slipshod about
getting the marketing and the dust
ing done promptly, but if she is
real wife she does try to improve,
she does feel sorry for poor old
Tom, she does grow spiritually
year by year.
Not Ethel Davis. Ethel was
completely satisfied when she mar
ried Ferd Davis seven years ago,
and she is as SNUG as ever now.
She has two children, a boy and a
girl, and she talks as if no woman
alive had gone through the ordeal
of having children before. Ferd car
ries up a tray to Ethel every morn
ing, and high school girl comes in
for SO cents a morning and gives
the children their breakfast and
starts them off to nursery school.
Ethel gets up at 10 and goes down.
town to lunch with friends. Then it's
beauty parlor or movie, and late
in the afternoon she and her crowd
are giggling at bar in some fash
ionable lounge. Perhaps then she
telephones home to the woman who
comes in at dollar an hour every
afternoon that she won't be home to
dinner. If she does come home it
is to cuddle her babies, give them
candy and toys and shrek like a
siren if Ferd comes in hungry,
tired and critical. The children
scream too, and cling to their moth
er. Ferd is an outsider in his own
home.

and naps," writes Ferd, land costs
me $40 a month. The school girl
gets $l2 and old Minnie about $50.
