therefore, not break AZ, which the
declarer hoped for.
The safe method to play the hand
is to take the first heart and lead
Immediately to the ace of diamonds.
Dummy should be entered with a
trump and the king of diamonds
is cashed, declarer shedding heart.
A diamond is ruffed in the closed
hand and then the heart is played
Nothing can prevent the declarer
from ruffing the losing heart and
the little diamond in his own hand
and then the entire dummy is good.
In other words, the proper play
was to establish the dummy rather
than the closed hand. There ap-
pears to be a strange psychological
objection to such procedure in many
quarters. I am quite persuaded that
had the declarer played the hand
from the North seat he would have
selected the recommended line of
play, and there Is a strong tendency
to keep the eye on the closed hand
to the neglect of the dummy which,
after all, is many times the domi-
nant hand.

Natures Children
Mud-DauberS.
By Lillian Cox Athey
Mud-DauberS.


The first stucco apartment built
In America was designed and built
by mud-daubers. During July and
August these masons are very busy.
Hardly mud-puddle is without its
rim of glittering blue-winged waspS.
At this time the air is filled with
the stinging society looking for
building sites. If you observe them
flying about in an aimless fashion,
they are seeking building spots. The
builders have no knowledge of
property rights, having but one
goal, the construction of a nursery,
laying eggs in cells that have been
filled with food for the younger
generation.
A busy worker arriving at her
base of supplies, appears to be nerv-
GUS as she tWitches her wings and
looking behind as though expecting
an attack from the rear. She ships
out pellet of mud with her jaws.
To this she adds saliva cement
which she manufactures in her
mouth. When the pellet is thorough
ly impregnated with cement, she
flies to her building site. The foun-
dation Is spread smoothly to the
right length and thickness before
she returns for more plaster.
AS the cell grows you-will notice
1t is a series of overlapping con-
centric rings. Exactness of size and
space meticulously calculated.
When the long narrow room has
been completed and dried enough,
the worker goes to market for
spiders, caterpillars, or insects, de-
pending on the formula fed to
babies in this family.
When the room is completely
stocked, an egg is laid on the top
most package. The builder has care
fully stabbed each victim with her
poison-filled hypodermic needle
The motor nerves are paralyzed, but
the victim is alive and will remain
in perfect health until devoured.
Within three days the egg matches
into brown-headed, legless grub
who begins gorging on the digest
1ble food at once, not letting up I'M
til the larder is empty
At this time, he spins few silk
threads to anchor himself to his
walls, then he covers himself with
a silk wrapper. Within this he ac-
quires six legs, pair of glittering
wings, pair of large eyes and an
tennae. When he wakes out of his
coma he bites his way through the
plaster door to sunshine and free
dom.
If you will examine the handiwork
you will get some idea of the count
less trips needed to accomplish this
great task. Under magnifying
glass you can see the fine lines
made by the tongue in it's polishing
job.
The number of creatures it took
to fill the cell to the brim will make
you realize what tireless workers
these builders are. If you had been
near enough to one of the workers
at this gigantic task you would have
heard her sing all the while.

Green Blisters Taft In Rousing
Address To Ohio Federation

to meet the demands of the
world crisis. If Taft is defeated,
he emphasized, the act would be
killed within a few months. He
said, "When that day comes, Ia
Dor will be able to make its full
contribution to the nations de-
tense effort"
The hearts of Stain and his
M oscow associates must be
warmed by Taft's "perversities,"
Green declared, charging that
the Ohio Senator's "Toryism"
was playing into the Commu-
nists' hands. He reported that
Taft's campaign managers al
ready were worried by Taft's ac-
tons since the outbreak of fight
ing in Korea. They wonder
where Taft's votes are coming
from, Green said.

Business ST
Monopoly LegaIized

WASHINGTON (LPA) - The
fight of the big steel corpora
tons and their subsidiaries to
use monopoly pricing practices
to stifle competition has been
renewed before a Senat e
watchdog C o m m e. The
group is charged with checking
on the Federal Trade Commits
sion's orders to industry forbid
ding conspiracies to fix prices
by using an elaborate system of
"basing points" in different
parts of the country.
Chairman Edwin c.. johnson
Cd, Colo.), who has consistent
ly supported the basing-point
practice, expressed his distress
over President Truman's veto
in July of a bill legalizing GER
tain of the monopoly practices.
He said the results are horrible
to contemplate for anyone who
loves America" adding that the
Supreme Court rulings finding
point practices illegal had the
effect of placing "the whole
business structure of the coun-
try on a different basis" John
son declared that the horrible
results could all be attributed
to the attitude of the Federal
Trade Commission. The ETC

wasn't necessarily insincere, he
said, but "has reversed itself in
two years, yet, from some orien-
tai concept of saving face, re-
fuses to admit it."
Chairman James Mead of ETC
spent two days before the COM
rnittee last week, giving the SEN
ators a volumniously-docum
ed history of the basing point
controversy. 1t started, he point
ed out, 80 years ago when west
ern and eastern leaders protest
ed to the ETC over the pricing
practices of big steel and the
railroads which disseminated
against new industries in the
undeveloped parts of the nation.
The case around which most
of the committees questions to
Mead seemed to revolve was the
Westvaco Chemical Co., which
refuses to build a multi million
dollar potash plant in Wyoming
unless it can get advance as
surances that its pricing prac-
tees will not be considered
monopolistic by ETC.
While the hostile Senators lis
tened more-or-less patiently,
Mead read to them a verbatim
transcript of a conference be-
tween ETC officials in 1915,
when the agency was started,
and the late Louis Brandeis, for
many years the leading liberal
on the Supreme Court. Brandeis
had advised the commissioners
against rendering advance opin-
ions on problems brought to
them by industry, on the ground
that "this is one of the most
dangerous powers the commits
sion could WELD" Mead said the
Toledo union journal. [volume] (Toledo, Ohio) 1942-current, 1950-09-01

present ETC still believes this.
even though industry would like
advance exemption from prose-
cution for some of their pricing
practices. Johnson, becoming
impatient, told Mead that 1--WE

Throughout the hearings,
Mead insisted that ETC rulings
now in the making on a handful
of crucial basing point cases will
achieve the desired clarity"
He said that no new legislation
is needed at this time, but John
son made it clear that he will
push for another basing-point
bill in the next session of Con-
greSS. =

Light Vote Aid.
Reaetionanes
Experts

WASHINGTON LPA) - In
time of war the nation rallies
behind its Commander?in-chie
- but not necessarily at h e
polls. When that happens, the
result is a light vote, and a re-
dictionary Congress. And a re-
dictionary Congress means reac-
tionary legislation.
Because public opinion is now
almost solidly behind the Presi-
dent on his handling Of tn e
Korea crisis, some people think
that assures similar solid back
ing at the polls in November
says Louis H. Bean, election ex-
pert.
That's not true, of course, as
he points out in his new book
"The Midterm Battle" a b u
the 1850 election.
For a clue to the outcome of
this election, take a look at the
election of 1942," Bean advises.
'It was a midterm election, like
this years election. The Presi-
dent himself was not running
for office, but was busy run
ming a war, as is the case today.
And what happened?
LESS than 30 million votes
cast their ballots. The party in
power lost as seats in the House.
This suggests that more than the
usual midterm apathy could pre-
vail this year - unless the poll
teal action groups working to
get out a large vote step up their
efforts successfully.
Voters apathy during war
time is mainly due to the idea
that elections at home are not
very important as compared
with battles overseas. The low
vote cast in 1912 was apparently
due more to this lack of inter
est than to any other single rea-
son."
Labor's political leaders agree
with Bean and continue to stress
the necessity of registering and
voting on November z. h y
urge union members to back
democracy's b | e Is overseas
with ballots here at home.
Union leaders agree that great
efforts are needed to hold the
gains labor made in 1948. If
even more liberal Congressman
are to be elected this year, every
potential voter must register
and cast his ballot in November.
II labor turns out, and the
next Congress is a liberal one,
there is hope for legislation ia
vorable to labor. If labor does
not turn out, not only will the
Taft Hartley act remain on the
books, but it will be made even
stronger.
Both oJseph keenan,, head of
Labor's League for Political ac-
Labor's l. League for Political
Education, and Jack Knoll, head
of the CIO-PAC, have recon-
mended to all union and poll
teal workers that they read the
Bean book and take its lessons
TO heart.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (LPA) -
If Ohio voters send Robert A.
Taft back to the Senate this fall
they will commit a tragic err
ror," AFL President William
Green told delegates to the 65th
convention of the Ohio Fedora
ton of Labor on Aug. %.
In a blistering frontal attack
on Taft, the veteran leader
urged his audience to elect the
Democratic nominee for the
Senate, Joseph Ferguson. He de-
scribed Ferguson as "a loyal lib
eral, a loyal supporter of Ameri-
cas- foreign policy, a public ser
want who is not only close to the
people but responsive to their
needs" Green said he was com
pletely confident" that Fergu-
son, state auditor, would serve
Ohio and the nation well.
The AFL president hit Taft as
''the candidate of the profiteers
and the isolationists, and as the
public defender of those selfish
interests which seek to reap a
harvest out of the national emer-
gency." Taft learned nothing
from his mistakes during World
War II, Green observed.
Taft first underestimate the
Nazis and the Japanese, Green
said, then did Everything in his
power to weaken and finally kill
price control, exposing the
American people to conscience
less profiteering." Moreover,
Green continued, Taft has been
opposing controls and excess
profit taxes this summer al
though "the profiteers are rob
bling the American people again"
He quoted Tat as saying that
"price control is not necessary
at this time" and said the Ohio
Senator's first concern was
"to protect the interests of bust
ness" He called upon Ohio
housewives to mark what Taft
has been saying about the pres
ent emergency and asked: Are
the women voters of Ohio, who
know that the cost of living has
jumped sky high in the last
month due to profiteering, going
TO vote for a candidate who thus
ignores their INTEREST,""
Green characterized Taft as a
s'prize obstructionist." He de-
clared that in the present inter-
national crisis President Truman
and Congress SHOULD work to-
gether as a team" adding that
TAFT never has and never will
cooperate with the President"
Taft's thinking, Green said,
stems from narrow, partisan,
political jealousy and is based
upon a peculiar philosophy that
the government should follow a
do-nothing policy which would
render it helpless to deal with
national emergencies.
The ALL leader pointed out
that Taft was as hostile to vet
Grams and farmers interests as
to labor's. "Only the bankers,
the monopolists, the big corpora
ton executives and the publish
ers of the reactionary press can
rely on Taft" Green observed,
pointing out that such sources
were pouring money into Ohio
TO keep Taft In Washington.
"We Of labor do not have that
kind of money" Green declared.
"We don't need II. We do not
have to buy votes. We have
them. II all our trade union
members in Ohio make certain
to register and to vote and pre-
vail upon their friends and fam
lilies 10 do likewise, Taft will 60
down to certain defeat on
Nov. T."

peal was necessary il industrial
