This years winner of the Nc
Kenney Trophy, which goes to
the player who accumulates the
greatest number of Master Points
during the previous year, is Sid
ney Silodor of Philadelphia. Dur
ing 1916 he earned 3O8 IL Master
Points.
He won the world championship
Masters pair event and the ma
tional open pair championship,
and finished second in the national
mems team-of-four and national
mixed team of : four champion
ships. This gives him the title OF
the outstanding player OF the year,
Silodor knows all of the tech
nique of tournament play and is
considered a fine rubber bridge
player as well. Most of the North
South pairs played today's hand
at six clubs, but Silodor reasoned
that it probably would make six
no trump. In tournament bridge
that ten points is the difference
between an average score and a
top for himself when he made
seven no trump!
He won the first trick in dummy
with the ace of hearts, cashed the
king of diamonds, then led a small
club to his ace. A club was led
back to dummy's king and the
ten of clubs cashed. The four Of
clubs was overtaken by the six
spot and this two good clubs
cashed.
Realizing that he was going
10 be squeezed, West made a nice
olscard on the second club, letting
go the eight of diamonds. On the
mex TOUR club plays he discarded
a spade and three hearts. keeping
only the heart queen.
Sllodor now laid down the ace
OF diamonds, d dropping Vests
queen. and the jack OF diamonds
put a further squeeze on West.
When West held the queen Of
hearts and let go the six Of
spades. Silodor discarded d,m.
n1y,s ten of hearts and won tbe
last 1our tricks in dummy with the
ace-king -jack-five Of spades.

Your Income Tax

@. I'm a nurse working in pri-
waite homes-the people l work tor
never withhold any money from
my pay for taxes. I've just figured
nv income tax for 1916 and l owe
S118. Now l learn that l should
have filed a '~declaration of esti-
mated tax" last March. At that
time l was working for a judge
and after helping me with my re-
turn for the year before he told
me all l had to do was Gust
relax for a year. Do you think
I'll have to pay a penalty for not
filing the declaration?
A. The Judge wasn't up on his
tax law because you should have
filed a declaration of estimated
tax last March Is, making a pay
ment of at least one-quarter OF the
tax at that time. Technically your
collector of internal revenue can
assess a penalty but in your case
if you write him a letter of ex-
PLANTATION he probably won't do so.
Tell him in your letter that you
were advised last March that you
didn't have to do anything for a
year, that you had no idea you
we're required to file a declara-
ton. No doubt ne will believe you.
Clearly there was nothing will
full" about your omission to file a
declaration. If a collector is con-
WINGED a taxpayer is "Willful' a
bout not paying taxes on time he
usually assesses penalties-and
stiff penalties at that.
Yet most collectors realize the
new system of tax declarations
and payments is extremely con-
fusing to the average taxpayer.
Without delay send in your
return for 1916 with $118 and a
declaration of estimated tax for
l947 with a quarterly payment.
Paying your 1916 tax and making
a payment on your 1947 fax ali
before March Is, should 60 a long
way toward tempering the collec.
tors wrath.
@. I'm married to a lieutenant
who is still overseas, in AuStria
During 1916 I made, I think aho',t
81, 060 as a part-time governess in
a private home. Do 1 have to nav
any income tax in March?
A. No. Because your husbs nj l.
overseas and because your income
was less than l 200 Won don,4
have to file a return or nav . ~
in March, nor are you reouirsd
to file a declaration OF estinoa+ea
tax.
That doesn't mean you'll never
have to pay income tax on vorr
1916 income. When your husbsnd
returns from overseas he viii
have to file a return after > ner W.
OF . IL months. Your ret,,rp Iii

kans.' Collins flatly denied any intent to bring influence to bear upon Congress or the Supreme Court We are not enacting laws i for other states, he concluded. 1 Censure Senate
 Green and Peratrovich both cen sured the Senate for voting not to near the labor spokesmen in the galleries; Green limiting that the Senate was afraid to hear the la bor witnesses. He did not think that it matters whether the bill passes or not because the Ma tional Government will probably have the issue settled before a re- ferendum ever comes to a vote'
 When Green succeeded in get ting the Attorney General on the stand, he asked him regarding con- ilict between the implication of S. B. TT and the Wagner Act. Ralph Rivers answered that any legislation passed pursuant to a mandate against the closed shop would not hold over interstate commerce unless Congress has passed a closed shop ban or has otherwise modified the National Labor Relations Act in the mean time. An Alaska law he held, would not have effect over any maritime contracts negotiated on coastwise basis, for example; though it could hold over contracts for operation of a carrier within Alaska, such as the Estebeth.
 After LOngshoremen
 Green suggested that s. B. IT reflected disapproval of the recent picket line at the Support here and that it's endorsers were "out after the local longshoremen." Would it affect them? he asked. The answer was that only purely local longshore contracts would be covered.
 Senator Walker sighted propi tious moment to point up a first major action in office by Commis- sioner of Labor Benson. He ques- tioned Benson's taking position in that dispute before the NLRB had settled the basic issue"
 The only Senator to join in the debate, Peratrovich, explained his intention to vote against the bill after having joined in a do pass" committee report. He had first op- posed it in committee, he said, then went along because he has

 Senator Edward D. Cofley de- clared labor :s getting a break i that the issue has come up in a referendum, as he iias heard ru- mors of direct legislation against the closed shop, which he said he believes the Legislature does have power to enact He would not be surprised. he added, if bill calling Tor direct action were able to car " Labor, Coffey said, should have nothing to fear from a referendum, as 90 percent of the voters will be "laboring votes" He signified his intention to vote for passage of S. B. IT by stressing: T have nev- CT voted against referendum
 Believe In Referendum
 Senator Butrovich also proclaim cd his staunch. belief in the gen. eral proposition of referendum, as did Senator Don Carlos Brownell. Brownell referred to the advance guard of a surge wires descending upon the Legislature from organ ized labor groups opposed to S. B. 77. One of them, addressed from Ketchikan to the bills other au- thor E. B. Collins, had likened the measure to an emanation from the Kremlin.
 Stating that he had been called labor man." Brownell declared himself surprised and ashamed" Of labor's action. T thought" he said, that everybody feels there is a fundamental right to free ex- pression." Labor has championed that right-now it seeks to deny a chance to the people of Alaska to express themselves on this burn ing question" He added that he feels it his duty" to give the people of the Third Division that chance.
 Senator Collins took a like view. He offered to bet a new hat" that the fish trap referendum was en- dorsed by every labor group now crying cut against s. B. IT. Now they're afraid to have a like mea- sure go before the people, he re- buked. He favored the bill: ITO get an expression of real Alas

 Senator Rivers asserting that the hill involves a matter of constitu- ticnal rights. which is now before Congress. He held that the Alaska Legislature has mo prerogatives' ill the matter. He acknowledged that beyond doubt there must be some drawing of the line and some interpretation" of organized labor rights. but that decision is for Congress and the Supreme Court to reach. In his view, the proposed referendum is intended to obtain a strong expression of public opin- ion which is hoped to be useful in influencing the Congress.
 An Alaska referendum on this matter of national import, he said, would be presumption in the high est degree Any referendum, he maintained, should come from Con- gress-to all the Nation. Congress, he said, has already acted against business monopolleS and Congress will recognize the evils that may or may not exist" in labor's struc- ture
 Rivers argument that the Le9is- lature would be reaching out of it's sphere in passing s. B TT, was an- swered by Senator Cochran in the closing Oration
 This IS a matter very largely for the people of the Territory to determine" Cochran held Out lawing of the closed shop can be mace effective under laws pass cd by Jhis Territory In line with opinions given hy the Attorney Genera, Cochran acknowledged that a closed shop prohibition might not be effective in industries engaging in interstate commerce but that docs not extend very far into this Territory"
