Goren on Bridqe
A New Trial Based on After
Discovered Evidence.

discovered LtiucHCC.
A quick change of the mind has
long been regarded as feminine
prerogative. Such practice it seems,
is not to be countenanced in any one
with the slightest claim to sclen-
tiflc turn of mind. First, to pass out
a hand and then to contract for
game with the very same CARDS
would, on the surface, appear to be
the result of impulse rather than
reason, yet such procedure may at
times be entirely consistent with
logical processes, as witness today's
hand.
That the North hand does not
meet with the requirements OF an
opening bid will not be disputed.
That South should not speak even
in third position is plain enough.
Vests fourth-hand bid of club re-
uuires no comment and North's over
call of one spade is normal. South,
recalling partners previous pass, did
not take the trouble to raise the
spade bid, for game contract, un-
der the circumstances, was not even
remotely in contemplation.
West chose to show his diamonds,
fully prepared to have his partner
return to three clubs if preference
existed for that suit. North's second
vulnerable overcall at the level of
two may appear to be slightly
drastic, but, as view it, the favor
able distribution justifies such &C
ton. The risk of running into a
penalty double is reduced consider
ably by the circumstance that East
has twice passed. Surely at the
level of two, one of the major suits
should be a reasonably safe vehicle,
since it is highly improbable that
both majors are massed in the East
hand. West, of course, is known tol
have an abundance of clubs and
diamonds, so that South must surely
have support for one of North's suits.
1t is with South's decision to bid
four spades at this point that we are
primarily concerned. Without re-
sorting to hindsight, I'm all for it.
And I do not consider that it is at
all inconsistent with his previous
passes. No pretense of perfection is
made for our bidding methods. Oc-
casionally hands like this, that offer
a good play for game, are passed
out.
On behalf of South it may be said
that he was simply playing per-
centages. In an overwhelming ma
jority of cases there will be no game
and no evidence had yet been pre-
sented which would disturb the
probabilities. However, when North
made his second vulnerable overcall
1t then became clear to South that
his partner had at least 10 cards in
the majors and could have at most
two losers in the minor suits. He
could then visualize hand that
lacked 2z honor tricks, on which
game might be made. In the mean
time his king of hearts had become
converted into an ace and evidence
had been presented which changed
the odds. Acting upon later-dis-
covered evidence should not be
looked upon as whimsical change

Harvesting EelS.

Now the common eel is news.
Scientists have discovered that the
eel is a source of valuable oil, an
excellent poultry food and a de-
pendable fertilizer; that the eel
yields rich vitamins and that the
older and bigger ones are packed
with vitamin A and D.
A ton of eels would be great
many. But, the Maoris for CEN
turies have taken tons of eels an
nually from every stream and lake
in New Zealand. To them this
harvest is vital. It furnishes them
with food for the winter and there
is a ready sale for the surplus.
No matter how many tons are
harvested, there seems no dearth
in cells. Today the white man is
fishing the streams every day for
eels to be sent to Britain and Eu-
rope to stretch the food supply.
Maoris, since coming to New zea-
land from Polynesia, have learned
to value the eel as no one else has.
For them it is great delicacy.
To make sure that this wealth
would be available to them each
season, the Maoris set about learn
ing the habits of the eel. Eels are
dependable about keeping their
travelling schedule When the vast
eel population leave home in the
lakes and upland waters for breed
ing grounds in the sea, they almost
choke the water highway. 1t is at
this time the Maori and his wife,
together with their neighbors, haul
in their laden traps and the har-
vesting of the crop begins.
A large V-shaped drying rack is
set up. The men clean and split
the eels and hang them on the rack
to dry. The chatting women fash
ion large flax baskets in which to
transport the cured eels. Contented
happy men smoke their pipes as the
eel pile grows high and the women
smoke cigarettes a. they exchange

outlook in obtaining a pension
and security program in every

Mr.. Ballard was commended
by the delegates and others who
attended the sessions for the
diplomatic and tactful way he.
had handled the program, while
great deal of praise was given
to Jack Holt, of the UAW edu-
cation4l department for his en-
durance and perseverance in
reading and explaining the long
outline of the UAW program in
future negotiations, which was
revealed for the first time to a
large assembly.
Burke Gives Talk
Congressman T h o mas H.
(Tom) Burke, one of Labor's
foremost champions in Wash
ington, flew in from the nations
capital especially for the meet
ing and outlined the vicious
points of the Taft Hartley law
which he and his colleague
Chairman John Lesinski of the
house labor and education COM
mittee and others friendly to la
Dor and doing a Herculean job
to remove from the statute
books.
The assembly voted unani-
mously to support Congressman
Burke's candidacy for congress
in 1850 so that he will be able
to carry on as Labor's champion
in furthering the legislative pro-
gram designed to safeguard and
further the social and economi-
cal advancement of the work
ing man and woman.
Full Text OF Program
Here is the full text of the
UAW program of negotiation
policies as outlined by Mr.. Holt
which Director Ballard directed
bargaining committees to fol-
low very closely. Pensions and
disqualification and surgical care
will be the foremost issues with
wages secondary in importance,
Director Ballard said. The pro-
gram was also approved by In
ternational Vice President Rich
ard Gosser, who is noted by
reputation as being one of the
foremost labor leaders in ad-
Vancing the welfare of the
working men and women. 1t is
a commonly known fact that
even Mr.. GosserS most bitter
opponents recognize that point
and often admitted openly that
the principal reason they oppose
Mr.. Gosser is because of his
foresight and ability to advance
the. cause of the wage Garner.
Even newspaper reporters and
editorial writer's who criticize
Mr. Gosser in print, privately
admit that "Mr.. G." as he is af-
fectionately called -by his staff
and friends who k now him in
timately and know what his
ideals and policies are, "has
done more for the working man
and woman than any other la
Dor leader in this part of the
country,
Representatives Talk
There were also talks by Rob-
ert Reider and James Young,
labor-sponsored representatives
in the Ohio state legislature,
who outlined the increased
benefits proposed under the
new unemployment, workmen's S
compensation and old age pen
sion acts which either have been
approved or are now before the
state legislature.
Fostoria was chosen as the
next convention city.

ever our nation is confronted
with unemployment, when
pay-rolls start to decline, fear
comes creeping in. Right now
employment is declining-it isn't
the law of supply and demand
because the plain people need
and want goods just as they did
several months ago. But the
average person does not have
the money to purchase the
goods they need. The answer
to our situation is still the same
old stock answer, more layoffs.
Besides a steady decline in
employment we are beset with a
constant dread of war. And aug
menting all this we see con-
gress falling with any congress
sional measure designed to help
the ordinary citizen. The people
see Senators and Representa-
tives, in congress, daily repudi-
ate their p arty platform and
party pledges.
The people witness proper
housing and slum clearance
kicked in the face except when
the matter helps the real estate
lobbyists, the Taft Hartley Act
upheld by legislators who ran
on a platform, for it's repeal, a
minimum wages of 75c per hour
scorned and rediculed, Federal
Aid to education heralded as a
means to control the thinking
of students while our teachers
pay remains at disrepectful
level. Old Age pensions paraded
as only unnecessary aid for the
less thrifty, better medical at
tention and disqualification as

sponsored by our government
and any measure, whether IN
our state or congress, misbrand-
ed and misrepresented if the
legislation is designed to help
the average citizen.
But the fear and anxiety that
haunts many now does not in
dicate our nation has a sick
soul. 1t proves that our people
do have an insight of our hap
penings and possess realistic
minds. The peoples apprehen-
sion demonstrates an under
standing intelligence that is diff
ficult to be confused.
We should never forget that
the Well-being of our country
rests on the welfare of our ordi-
nary people. When the ordi-
nary citizen has job, and pros
pers, our nation prospers. When
the ordinary, plain people are
laid off, and out of work, the
whole nation suffers.
We are starting to suffer be-
cause the list of the unemployed
is gradually getting longer. And
the plain ordinary citizen is be-
ginning to fear.
Ralph Waldo Emerson has this
to say about fear and in my
mind aptly applies to our affairs
of today HE (fear) is carrion
crow, and though you see not
we'll what he hovers for, there
is death somewhere. That OBJ
scene bird is not there for moth
ing. He indicates great wrongs
must be revised" -
There are great wrongs to b
revised, better wages to be
gained, better living. to be had,
and the plain people will begin
the revision in the fall elections
of 1850.
