Inc DTlQSc PAoJCASS AeoiI IL the
melting pot of American slang.
Colorful expressions from all walks
of life ultimately find their way into
the picturesque lingo OF the card
player. One of the most descriptive
of these expressions Is the term
uppercut, word borrowed from the
prize ring and used to describe the
trumping of one Of your partners
cards, even though Ii may be high.
in order to force out high trump
from declarer,s hand. This is done
with the hope OF promoting trump
trick for partner.
Against the final contract of four
spades West led the king of dia-
monds and when East played the
nine he continued with the ace.
West then cashed the ace of clubs
and led the jack of diamonds. The
dummy played low and since his
partners jack was high, East took
a worthless discard. South of course
ruffed this card, extracted trumps
and claimed the balance of the
tricks.
At the conclusion Of the hand
there were mutual recriminations
between East and West. East as
serted that he did not wish to use
his trump when his partners dia-
mond was high, because for all he
knew, declarer might have another
diamond. This was unsound. The
evidence very clearly points to West
having five diamonds. A vulnerable
overcall at the level of two with a
lesser holding would brand him as
character not safe to be at large
without an attendant. If South had
another diamond West would know
it (since East played high low and
would consequently not cash his ace
Of clubs. He would then retain the
ace of clubs for further entry so
that he would be in a position to
lead the fourth diamond.
East, of course, should have played
his high trump on partners good
diamond (the uppercut) forcing the
king, and West would have cashed
the setting trick with the jack of
spades. Vests play was very
thoughtful because he realized that
the only hope to defeat the contract
was for East to hold the queen or
king of spades. Cashing the ace of
clubs should have put East on his
guard. But perhaps West should
have gone one step farther in his
precautionary measures and led a
low diamond instead of the jack.
This would have made it compulsory
for East to trump and let us be
charitable enough to assume that he
would have trumped with the queen
rather than the nine.

|a-Day Closing Ends
For Disti|lers; New
|U. !. Action Possible
by the Assoeiotsd Press

The 60-day distilling shutdown
ended on an uncertain note last
night with resumption of whisky
making, planned for tomorrow
subject to change by Government
action.
The White House indicated Pres
ident Truman would sign the Re-
publican anti-infiation bill tomor-
row or soon thereafter. It would
give the Government authority to
allocate grain to the industry until
January 81 and probably would
mean a maximum consumption OF
2,5000O0 bushels a month.
Though most distillers planned
to start operations tomorrow, there
was number of unsettling rumors.
Distillery officials here reported pri-
vately that these reports, all lacking
oficial confirmation, had reached
them:
That Secretary Of Agriculture
Anderson, who tried to persuade
the distillers to accept the $500, 600
bushel limit voluntarily, would issue
public appeal for continued
shutdown until Mr.. Truman acts on
the anti-inf1ation measure.
ALLEGATION Controls Seen.
That Mr.. Anderson, instead, would
invoke ALLEGATION controls as of jan
uary /, If the bill is signed, and then
subtract from each distillers jan
uary quota the amount he consumed
in December.
Government officials were silent
on both reports.
The Distilled Spirits Institute has
advocated a 3,50O,000 monthly con-
sumption of grain by the industry,
achieved by limiting each distiller
to 45 per cent of his grain consump-
ton a year ago, on a voluntary basis
Members of the institute, who
produce about IS per cent Of the
country's whisky, planned to pro-
ceed on this basis. The institute
has wired other distillers asking
compliance with this scheme. 1t
reported several promises received

and Pubncker Industries, Inc, Of

Statement Is Expected.
In announcing that Mr.. Truman
may sign the Republican anti-infla-
ton bill "any day after Christmas" /"
the White House said he will accom-
pany 1t with a statement which Is
expected to blast 1t as inadequate
to curb living costs.

man plan. He failed to win the
wage price : rationing powers he
asked
But the measure carries some fea-
lures included in Mr.. Truman's pro-
gram. These extend the Presidents
powers over export Of scarce essen
tia8 and over the use Of boxcars.
Charles G. Ross, presidential press
secretary, told reporters the Presi-
dent will act on the bill next week,
but amended this to say that it
might "be signed any day after
Christmas"

MEMBER OF ASSOCIATED PRES
INTERNATIONAL TRADE TO
 BE RESUMED WITH JAPAN

JUNEAU = With the return to Washington of the United States Trade Mission from conferences with General Douglas Macarthur and his headquarters staff in Tok- yo, the State and War Departments on June announced August 15 as the date upon which resumption of private international conner cial relations with Japan will be authorized, according to informa- tion received by M. W. GOding, District Manager, Department Of Commerce in Juneau. The Mission, comprising representatives of t h e Departments of State, Treasury War and Commerce, REC and the U. s. Commercial Company stated that General Macarthur simultan- eously was making the same an- nouncement in Tokyo.
 The official statement included information that accommodations for 400 private trade representa- tives would be made available in Japan, distributed in the main in dustrial and commercial areas At no time can the entire 400 in dividuals be accommodated in any one locality.
 According to information gath cred at the Occupation Headquar- ters, the procedures set up for the entrance of private traders will emphasize unrestricted contact with the Japanese producers, re- duced controls over commercial ar engagements and minimize partiei- patton by SOAP agencies. While Japan remains in the status of an enemy nation it will be necessary that controls be maintained but many of these will be relinquished at the earliest possible date, in many cases before the signing of the peace treaty.
 The selection of American trade representatives to be admitted to Japan will be made by the Office of International Trade, Depart ment of Commerce., from among applications submitted to them. This selection will be based upon criteria established by the Far Eastern Commission and on the basis of information transmitted from SOAP, indicating goods avail able, raw materials required and potential trading and other oppor- tunities open to development Sel- ection of applicants approved by the Department of Commerce will be Forwarded to SOAP for final ap- proval for entry into Japan. As usual, the granting of passports to the approved applicants will be handled by the Passport Division of the Department of State. All ap- plicants should send their inquir- tes to the nearest field offices of the Department of Commerce, where they will be examined ior completeness of information and forwarded for final approval to the Office of International Trade, De- partment of Commerce
