Over a pre-emptive three bid

they think they can make that

is Alexander Weiss of New York,
who last Spring won the national
masters individual tournament
over a field of SO outstanding
Weiss held the East cards in
today's hand. When his partner
bid three no trump over three
clubs, he decided, due to his
freak distribution, to 60 to four
spades. North of course was
equally pleased to double that
contract, but I think that Weiss
would have made the contract
|even without the double.
He won the opening lead in

monds and Immediately led the
king of spades. North won and
led the nine of clubs, which
Weiss trumped with the deuce
of spades. He then led the
queen of spades, and South S
club discard gave him the bad
news.
The queen of hearts was led
next, which is the correct play
when dummy holds the ace-ten
(you play for the honors to be
split). The queen lost to North's
king and back came the eight
of clubs, which Weiss trumped.
Then he led the six of hearts
and finessed dummy's nine
spot. When it held, he led the
king of clubs and trumped it,
then played the jack of spades,
leaving North with the good
ten of spades, the deuce of hearts
and the queen-ten of diamonds.
A small heart was led, the ace
winning, and then the ten OF
hearts was led. If North trump
ed with the ten of spades, he
would have to lead away from
the queen ten of diamonds into
dummy's ace-jack. If he refused
to trump, and discarded the
ten of diamonds, Weiss would
simply give him the last trick
with the ten of spades.

In His Plans

WASHINGTON, D. c. (NNPA)
Secretary Of Defense James c.
FOrrestal does not contemplate the
appointment of a civilian aide in
the national military establish
ment, which he heads, with duties
comparable to those Of the civilian
aide to the secretary Of war.
He definitely settled, at his first
press conference as secretary Of
defense, this question which has
aroused nationwide speculation as
to who would be appointed to the
office if it were created.
Under the national military
establishment, as he proposes
to operate il, the army. the
navy and the air force will be
free TO formulate their own
policies. he indicated.
II a controversy should arise
over the policies Of the three de
partmcnts composing the national
military establishment. his over

pend upon the question involved.
Answering the question respect
ing the appointment Of a civilian
aide to the secretary of defense,
MIR. Forrestal pointed out that as
secretary Of the navy he had no
such official.

cifie questions" he said, adding
that Lester b. Granger, eXeeu-
tive secretary Of the National
Urban league, did a substantial
amount of work for him, Il
may say, constructive work.
but l doubt very much that l
shall have any aide for par

Mr.. Forrestal said he would pre-
fer to deal with specific questions
as they arise.
His conception Of his duties, Mr.,
Forrestal said, is that they are
limited to trying to secure COM
mon practices and as nearly as pos
sible common policies. He said he
will not attempt TO go into details
but will do an executive job.
While discrimination in the army.

officially to such practices.

Newman condemned anti.Ne-

He claimed Negro leadership had
generally been more courageous
in standing up for the rights of

As an evidence of the courage Of
certain Jewish leaders he pointed
out the great contributions which
Julius Rosenwald had made to the
education Of thousands Of Negroes
and the activity Of men like Joe

movement.
