Taft and Dewey Seen
Agreeing 10 Step Aside.
If Deadlock Threatens
By jock Bell
Asseeioted Press Stoff Writer


Friends of Gov. Dewey and Sem
ator Taft are reported agreed today
that they will try to prevent any
long deadlock at the Republican
nominating convention.
The two presidential aspirants are
known to have discussed this situa-
tion some time ago. They met
briefly in New York recently but had
no time then to talk turkey.
Nevertheless, it is said to be gen.
orally understood in both camps that
If the two candidates lock horns so
tightly that neither can pull away,
they will sit down and try for a
compromise.
None Of the politicians who know
both men can see either stepping
aside for the other. The effort, then,
would be to agree on a third man
acceptable to both and do it quickly
enough to prevent a rank outsider
from walking of with the nomina-
ton.
vandenberg, Martin, Mentioned.
The two possibilities most fire.
quently mentioned in such COM
promise are Senator Vandenberg of
Michigan and House Speaker Mar
tin.
Indications are that neither Sem
ator Taft nor Mr.. Dewey would be
willing to go for Gen. Macarthur,
even if the Far Eastern commander
shows wide strength in primaries.
The New Yorker and the Ohioan
are essentially party men, and the
betting Is that their support will go
to somebody who Is well established
within the party fold.
In this connection both have rea-
son to be politically sore at Harold
e. Stassen.
The chances of the former Min
nesota Governor in the April 6
Wisconsin primary seemed to have
perked up over the week end, with
Albany announcement that Gov.
Dewey will make personal appear

Far Cry From 1914 Setup.
This marks a far cry from 1914,

Wendell L. Willkie
The stories coming out Of Albany
indicate the Dewey people think
there is about an even chance that
Gen. Macarthur will be top man
when the votes are counted next
week.
Hence they are making 1t cam
paign to shut out Mr.. Stassen, while
planning to shrug off Gen. MacAr-
thur as a one-State wonder. But
the generals friends think other
wise and are going ahead with plans
to organize Nationwide string OF
Macarthur clubs.
The April 13 Nebraska popular

this and other counts. .-zsss-- - 80.

You are fortunate if the banded
garden spider establishes residence
in your garden. Her snare is the
death trap for grasshoppers and
other pests. She consumes vast
number of insects during a season.
The way she attends to her me-
thodical duties is most interesting
to observe.
The female builds the handsome
snare, always signing her exquisite
work with white zigzag band of
heavy silk which runs down from
the center of the orb. This is a
way to identify her. The
web Is decorative bit of art in the
garden. Covered with the early
dew it is very beautiful.
Madam Spider is decorative her
self. Her back is covered with a
dense fuzZ of pure white hairs. In
sun and shadow they gleam like
silver. Her under color is a rich
brown marked with gold. Day and
night she hangs head down in the
center Of her web. If heavy rain
comes, she moves to a nearby shelter,
usually broad leaf.
Concerned only in making an
honest living. she spends much time
in the center of her web with her
eight feet on telephone" line.
When the agitation of one of these
lines indicates to her customer has
dropped in, she becomes very alert.
She vibrates the lines so the "guest"
becomes more entangled. AS she
heads for the visitor, she produces a
band of silken filament from her
fast-working spinnerets. In these
she swathes the guest which may
be grasshopper. She uses her
hind legs 10 guide the broad threads.
With her front legs she deftly turns
her victim over and over until she
has trussed him thoroughly. Then
she carefully administers an anes-
thetic to keep him quiet This poison
is toxic to insects, harmless to
humans.
Instead of feasting Immediately
the spider first mends her snare
When she dimes later, her tiny, in
significant mate waits to pick up
any crumbs that fall from her
table.
Banded garden spiders are found
almost everywhere. They should be
welcomed to your garden. With a
strong lens you can observe their
deft movements and see how very
efficient they are

Opening lead, Three of hearts.
You Just can't play a three no
trump contract properly without
counting up to nine. am reluctant
to strees the obvious, but unforth-
nately in real life so many players
show tendency to play along lazily
from trick to trick, and from suit
to suit, without any definite goal
in view.
This business Of counting up to
nine is not always as simple as it
sounds. Take today's hand for ex-
ample. The bidding was very nor
NAL. There is some question whether
North should not have gone to three
no-trump himself instead of calling
only two no-trump. He has very
sound opening bid himself and
should, therefore. assume the re-
sponsibility for the game himself.
However, since he held only single
shoppers in the "off" suits he chose
the more conservative course. One
definite observation should be made.
1t would have been highly improper
for North to rebid clubs to show
siX-card suit. Showing the length
of the minor suit is far less impof-
tant than the information that the
hand has very good prospects for
game at no-trump.
The three of hearts was opened
and declarer must decide which suit
to attack. The hand contains 10
wealth of potential tricks, but un.
fortunately East has gotten OF to
the killing" lead and declarer has
only one time unit in which to
establish his nine tricks, because
as soon as the lead is relinquished.
the heart suit will become estab-
lished. 1t is imperative, therefore,
to build up the ninth trick with the
loss of only one, early in the play.
If declarer should go for the dia-
monds by conceding trick in that
suit, he will count up to only eight
tricks, with the ace of clubs still
in the hands of the enemy, who now
hold an established heart suit.
If the clubs should break 3-3 de-
clarer can by giving up the ace of
that suit count 10 tricks. The odds
are against this even break of the
clubs, but since it has been made
clear that the hand cannot be won
by going for the diamonds, declarer
must attack clubs. The opening
Lead is won in the South hand
with the ace. and club should be
led Immediately. West cannot af-
ford to go up with the ace, since
such a play would abandon his Sec
ond club stopper. The jack Of clubs
wins the trick, and now declarer
should pause for a recount. Two
hearts, a spade and a club trick
already in count up to four. He
now needs only five more tricks.
These can be obtained from the
diamonds, if they break 3D. which
! is very probable. At this point de-
clarer should therefore pass one
diamond in to the opposition. They
will presumably clear the hearts.
but when nothing unforeseen hap
pens in the diemond suit, nine
tricks are available.
