The actual bidding:
North East South West
! heart Pass 2clubs Pass
clubs Pass Pass Pass
The natural aversion to bidding
weak suits has kept many players
out Of easily makable game con-
tracts. 1t is essential to get into
the habit of concentrating on the
hand itself rather than to devote
too much attention to the texture
of the suits involved in the auction.
I cannot emphasize too strongly
the proposition that when the COM
bined assets of partnership
amount to two opening bids, a dis
tinct effort should be made to reach
game.
In today's hand North opened
with one heart and South naturally
responded with two clubs, which
North quite properly raised to
three. Note that it would have
been highly improper for North to
rebid the hearts just to show a five
card suit. The actual South at
this point passed because he could
not visualize the likelihood of a
minor suit game.
IT had shown the full strength
Of my hand by my two-club bid"
he contended, which increased the
level Of the bidding. I couldn't
support hearts, and, since did not
have spades, I could not try no
trump"
His statement contains several
fallacies. In the first place, he had
not already shown the full strength
of his hand. The queen Of hearts
should not be subjected to such
unchivalrous treatment. When
partner bids that suit, the queen
assumes an even more imposing
rank. Viewed in that light South's
hand becomes the equal in strength
of an opening bid and should,
therefore, suggest that the partner
ship can make game in some dec
laration.
Secondly, it is not true that a
responder must have all suits taken
care Of in order to try no-truump.
The one who opens the bidding
ought not to chance no-trump with
an unprotected suit, but the re-
spending hand may take such a
risk when he believes that partner
has values in that suit. The reason
Is plain: an opening bidder prom
ises high cards on the side, re-
sponder makes no such promises.
However, a no-trump bid by
South would not have been good
strategy. It is easier for South to
bid three diamonds. This affords
North the opportunity to bid no
trump if he can hold off the spade
lead, or permits him to rebid
hearts If that appears to be the
proper procedure. If North can
not do either of these, he will re-
turn to four clubs, which surely
should not be in danger.
Had South bid three diamonds,
North, holding a sure spade stop
per, would no doubt have contract
ed for three no-trump, against
which there was no defense.

Claims have been filed under a
special act of Congress to indemnify
persons of Japanese ancestry for
personal and property losses suffered
when they we're evacuated from
the West Coast several months after
the outbreak of the war
approximately 1000 claims were
received by the Department of
Justice Jan. 3. the final date for
filing under the Evacuation Claims
Act.
AS a public service to persons of
japanese ancestry. the Washington
JACL Ado office remained open
until midnight, Jan. 3, filing tenn
porary claims in behalf of dozens
of persons throughc;.. the United
States.
Mike MaSaoka, national JACL
Ado legislative director, and Ed
ward j. Ennis, Ado legal counsel
filed all claims received in the ADO
office before the deadline.
MasaOka said the Justice De-
partment sent special truck to
the post office i'm Washington to
pick up its mail before midnight
He said this indicated a Every fair
effort on the part of the Justice
Department to insure that claims
would be received on time.
To date one claim, for approxiX
mately $500, has been paid to the
first claimant to receive payment
for loss under the act
Meantime said Masaoka, the De-
partment of Justice has adjudicated
an additional 20 claims and filed u
report on the adjudication with the

Currently, the Justice Depart
ment is paying claims out of a
million dollar appropriation made
during the first session of the pre-
sent Congress.
Masaoka said it should be only a
matter of weeks after a claim is
adjudicated and submitted to Con-
gress until it is paid, unless the
claim exceeds $500. In that case,
payment, of course, will depend upon
the speed with which Congress,
makes individual appropriations.

unanimously last June 6, was ap-

journment, but failed in the last
few days of the first session to pass
the Senate on the single objection
of Sen. Richard Russell, 3D., Ga.

position on the Senate calendar.
In a morning of conferences on

leader. within the next few days in
an effort to have the Senate calen-
dar called during the next two weeks

Here's What To Do In A-BOmb Attack

WASHINGTON, F-The gov- ernment has come up with it's answers to such atomic era ques- tions as:
 What should you wear if there's danger of an a-bomb attack?
 What should you do about ra- dioactive dust in your clothes?
 How soon after an a-attack is it safe to let the cat out?
 The governments answers to these and a host of other ques- tions appear in its long-promised booklet, Survival Under Atomic Attack"
 It's the first official publication to tell the public in plain English just what to do if the big bomb does fall, It costs a dime and you can get it from the superintendent of public documents, Washington, 25, DC.

Hydrogen Bomb May Not Be
 Workable

WASHINGTON P-Chairman Gordon Dean of the atomic ener- gy commission says the United States has not yet determined whether the hydrogen bomb can be made to work.
 we haven't completed our de- termination as to the feasibility of the projected super-bomb, Dean said in an interview with the mag azine U. s. News and World Re- port made public last night.
 Dean, who took over as chair man of the AEC last July, also reported that the nations stock pile of atomic bombs may be use- full even if they never are explod- ed.
 Their fashionable material can be converted to supply power much more valuable than the gold at Fort Knox," he said. The U. s. gold reserves stored at Fort Knox are estimated to be worth more than $23,OO0, 100000.
 Bean also reported that this country is still "well ahead" of Russia in the development of the atomic bomb, but he said it would be foolish to minimize the Russian achievement.
