- Pass Pass Pass
Opening lead: Jack of hearts.
1t is an ill equipped player who,
when confronted with an unmake-
able contract, just resigns without
training to avail himself of the hu-
man frailties of the opposition. 1t
is, astonishing how many hopeless
hands can be brought home by SIM
ply playing them out to the bitter
end and trusting to an occasional
"haywire" decision on the part OF
| the enemy.
In today's hand South became de-
clarer at contract of four spades
| on routine bidding. West naturally
opened the jack of hearts which
was taken by the ace. The ace and
declarer was disappointed to learn
that the suit failed to break. 1t
appeared now that declarer would
have to win two club tricks II he
were to fulfill his contract mas
much as a trump trick and a dla-
mond had to be surrendered. To
hope that East had both the ace
and queen of clubs was little too
sanguine, especially in view Of his
silence Declarer chose instead to
set about in an effort to obtain
little assistance from the enemy If
clubs were unfavorably distributed
He first ruffed dummys remain
ing heart and then cashed the two
high diamonds. West was then given
the lead with a trump with the
hope that he would do. something
friendly. He quite properly cashed
the queen of diamonds. He did not
consider leading another heart since
he knew that declarer could ruff
in one hand and obtain a discard
in the other. Finally hoping that
partner had either the king or the
lack of clubs he led the ace and
another and school was out. South
had profited by taking advantage OF
Vests frailty.
OF course, there was no excuse
for Mr.. West just few minutes
thought would have solved his prob
lem. 1t involved no more OF a feat
than counting up to 13. Declarer
was known to have five spades.
four diamonds and one heart fall
these have shown up in the play.
He had, therefore, exactly three
clubs, no more, no less. Even run
and a discard would not enable him
to fulfill contract, if West would
lust wait for his two club tricks. If,
however, he chose to lead a club.
patiently the correct defense, 1T
should have been the small one. II
East has the king. three more tricks
will be cashed without further cere-
mony. If South happens to have 1t.
West just waits patiently for the
last two tricks.
A moment of counting will fire.

did" by exercising wide controls
over the public

The Secretary said he thought the

sonally favored the long-term plan
for European recovery.
Mr.. Schwellenbach said he had
not talked to any labor leaders ON
the price control program be-
fore appearing on Capitol Hill
although he realized both the AF'L
and CIO were in general opposed
to wage control.
He reiterated his statement OF
yesterday favoring selective price
controls, saying it also would be

|d-Beating Charge
Against Man Dropped

An assault charge against a 26-
year-old carpenter for beating his
2-year-old stepson who refused to
call him Daddy" was dismissed in
Municipal Court today when the
chiid's mother failed to appear with
the child.
The man was Revert A. Sullivan
of 1908 N street NV, who was ar
rested October IL when his wife
told police he had beaten and whip
ped their small son because the boy
insisted on calling him Bob instead
of Daddy" Sullivan was arrested
first on charge of drunkenness.
The additional charge of assault was
placed against him when Mrs. Sui
livan told of the beating and said
she also had reported a previous
beating her husband had given the
child. No charges were preferred
in the first instance because Mrs.
Sullivan took the child to visit her
parents in Pennsylvania.
When Sullivan was arraigned and
released on $500 bond, Mrs. Sullivan
announced that she would return
to Pennsylvania and it was assumed
today that she was still there. The
separate charge of drunkenness
which Sullivan still faces after dis
missal of the assault charge will be
disposed of within the next few
dayS

The aim of the administration
anti-inf1ation program is to reduce
the cost of every item the price of
which is excessive" Secretary OF
Labor Schwellenbach told the House
Banking Committee today.
The cabinet member would not
specify items, but he pointed out
that food represents 40 per cent OF
the cost of living as figured by thu
Bureau Of Labor Statistics.
Secretary Schwellenbach said he
would like to see the time when my
wife could take $40 and go and get
the weekend groceries with it."
The whole l0-point Truman pro-
gram. he said, would halt the rise
in the high cost of living.
In an hour-long, frequently acri-
monious exchange with Representa-
tive Smith, Republican, Of Ohio,
the Secretary discussed his views
on wage controls and other phases
of the anti-inf1ation program.
He said he did not interpret the
Presidents speech to Congress last
month as favoring "reimposition OF

AFL Organizer Asks
Churches 10 Assist
In Labor Problems
By Cospor Names

BALTIMORE, Dec "a Balti-
more labor organizer today called
on churches to join with manage
ment and labor in solving the prob
lens facing workers and business
firms.
The plea was made at the Church
and Economic Life Conference spon-
sored by the Council of Churches
of Maryland and Delaware. The
three-day meeting, which opened
last night, is being held at ths
Emmanuel Episcopal Church of
Baltimore.
Sylvester Calabro of the AFL
Distillery Workers this morning told
the group that the church in the
past has fallen down on its job
because it forgot the working sioe
Of life in it's pre-occupation with
the spiritual. He declared that "it
is necessary for the church to take
an interest in this part of life"
Catholic Church Praised.
The labor leader, Presbyterian,
praised the Catholic Church for its
interest and urged the Protestant
churches to come up to the job
of being concerned with this aspect
of their congregations life.
The Rev. Jesse P. Dawson, pastor
of Union Square Methodist Church.
Baltimore, expressed sympathy with
Mr.. Calabros views, but said that
frequently labor did not respond to
interest shown by pastors. Mr..
Dawson further said there should
be concerted effort in the church
to let labor know that there are
many preachers in sympathy with
labor as we'll as with capital"
Major Conflict Described.
There are three major causes of
conflict between labor and man
agement, William E. Simkin, perma-
nent arbitrator for such companies
and unions of Goodyear Tire &
Rubber Co. and Bethlehem Steel
Co., told the gathering. He listed
them as the workers desire for a
steadily increasing standard OF
living, their constant concern with
workers job security and their de-
sire for fair and equal treatment
on noneconomic issues
The Rev. Cameron P. Hall OF the
Federal Council of Churches will
address the meeting tonight on
What Can the Church Do?" The
section meeting tomorrow morning
will discuss Mr.. Halls speech in de-
tail A summary of the conferences
findings will be given by DR.. Harry

concluding item on the calendar.

Churches and civil service commits
sioner, is head of the Federal Coun-
