There appears to be considerable
confusion in the public mind on the
subject of directing doubles.
This thing can be carried too far. II
is not at all uncommon to hear
conversations something like: Part
ner, when I doubled four spades I
thought you would lead the dunn
my's suit" Or, Sorry, partner, I
thought when you doubled five clubs
I was obliged to lead heart" This
Is all sheer drivel. When a player
doubles four spades or five clubs it
is because he thinks he has the con-
tract beaten and not to request a
lead Of some strange suit.
There are one or two cases in
which q penalty double requires GER
tain specific leads, but this conven-
tion must not be extended beyond
those limited cases. First and fore
most is the double of a slam con-
tract. The convention calls for the
lead Of the suit first bid by dummy.
This will frequently permit third
hand a ruff of the opening lead, or
permit him to circumvent some
psychic bid by the dummy in an
effort to prevent the lead of q Ger
tain suit.
Then there are doubles of no.
trump contracts. If the defending
side has not bid the double of the
final contract suggests but does not
demand the lead of dummy's suit
If no better lead is available. Where,
however, the dummy's suit has been
rebid, the suggestion does not apply,
and the opening leader should try
to find a more effective lead. Where
the defending side has done some
bidding the double absolutely de-
mands the lead OF the defenders
suit, and it doesn't mean maybe.
In todays hand South became
declarer at a contract of three no
trump after West had opened the
bidding with a spade. East did not
have much to be proud of, except
for the supporting queen of spades,
but he had feeling that the enemy
had contracted for game with only
one stopper in the suit. 1t was also
clear to him that his partners s
spade holding must be such that the
suit would not offer an attractive
opening lead. The only hope as he
saw it was to insure the opening
of his partners bid suit, so he made
q very sporting double. Such ac-
ton Is not recommended with hands
this weak because of the danger
Of q devastating redouble, but East
felt desperate.
West took no cognizance of his
partners double and selected the
very fine heart sequence for his
opening lead. Declarer took the
first trick, drove out the ace of
diamonds, and was assured of nine
tricks. With the spade opening, four
tricks would be established in that
suit before the ace Of diamonds was
dislodged Had partner not doubled
the final contract Vests lead of the
king OF hearts would be recon-

Local Man
Escapes Mob
LACY FUTCH
BELIEVED SAFE

The reported lynching of Lacey
Futch, a truck driver for a local
wholesale firm here, which has
been the subject of widespread dis
cussion and rumor during the past
several days proved to be unfoun-
ded according to reports reaching
the Jackson Advocate early this
week.
According to the reports Futch
would have been the victim of the
mob if he had not been warned
that a group IF White men were
searching for him and afterwards
was hidden by unknown persons
somewhere along his route be-
tween Jackson and Koscuisko.
The report that Futch had been
the victim of a mob became cur
rent here last Tuesday when the
firm by which he was employed
received word to come to Koscui-
sko and get the truck which Futch
was driving with consignment
of articles to be delivered between
Jackson and Koscuisko. According
to reports which followed F'utch
had become evolved in a fight
with a White Man at some point o.
the route. After the fight, he had
been taken over by mob, and was
last seen in a car with a group
of White men. After the report
and the return of the truck the
rumor quickly spread throughout
the city, the family being well
known here.
When his. wife and mother fail
ed to hear from him during the
next two or three days, contacts
were made with the Sheriff. and
Chief of Police at Koscuisko, and
law enforcement officials at Du-
rant, both places being rumored
as the scene of the incident. Lat
er the family requested the local
FBI to start an Investigation.
Reports heard here this week
indicated that Futch had been in
very real danger but that the ac-
ton was on the part of private
persons who had not called in Law
enforcement agencies.

sought at the current session Of
the Board of Trustees of Institu-

E. R. Jobe, executive secretary,
said Saturday the board will rec
ommend such plan to the Legis-
lature, but details of it have not
been formulated.
Actionof the Board is aimed at
forestalling a situation similar to
one raised recently in Oklahoma,
where the United States Supreme
Court ordered the state to either
admit Negroes to its segregated
institutions or else provide equal
opportunities for members of that
race.
Agitation For Test
AS yet no Negro has applied for
admission to any of the MISSISSIPPI
pi education institutions for the
graduate training although agi-
tation for test has been current.
Reports are that initial steps look
ing to bringing the issue to the
front in Mississippi have been TAX

it is known that bill testing the
racial segregation issue in the
states schools had been drafted
for filing in Federal Court. Sever
al white lawyers contacted by the
group have declined to handle the
case.

There was no visible sign of OBJ
lection to he presence of rs year
old Silas Hunt, Negro graduate
student, when he was enrolled in
the University of Arkansas Law
school here early last week. Rath-
er it seems as though Hunt is be-
ing regarded as "just another stu
dent" by campus constituents -
although Hunt will attend separate
classes.
The Arkansas Traveller, student
newspaper, came out with a spec
all edition carrying comments
from large number of students
on the admission of Negroes to
the institution. All but two agreed
with the trustees decision to adj
NIT qualified Negro graduate stu
dents. Several, quoted by name,
said they had no objection to Hi
nes' enrolment as long as he is
a sincere student and is not en-
tering the student body as test
case.
Hunt, formerly a student at
A M & N, Pine Bluff, was pres
ident of the student body, editor of
the Arkansawyer, monthly student

ely in the A bracke with few

L. Greene was, not only born

accepeably and constructively as
Presiding Bishop for nearly six

a nonpartisan committee, through

statesmanlike, unselfish and i'm
partial administration of the af-
