Of several newspapers, but others

Taxes were laid on British news

and others fought for freedom of

Contract Bridqe

There are many advantages IL
overcalls. You might buy the hanc

might indicate a winning lead to

might talk the opponents out OF

Good players are often right in
there taking chances with their
overcalls-just like the rest of us
Because of this, they are just as
vulnerable to disasters as their less
experienced brethren.
Old Mr.. Dale had a fairly re-
spectacle hand in today's deal But
look what happened to him. Mr..
Masters opened the jack of spades.
Mr.. Champion won with the king
and switched to the eight Of dia-
mondS.
Refused to Overruff.
Mr.. Masters won this trick and
LED the queen of clubs which was
covered with the king and ace. An
other diamond lead put Mr.. Masters
In again. He cashed the jack of
clubs and then led a third diamond
which Mr.. Champion ruffed.
Mr.. Champion now cashed the
ace of spades and led third round
OF spades. At this point Mr.. Dale
had nothing left but trumps. He
ruffed with the 10 spot and Mr..
Masters made an excellent play by
refusing to overruff. If he had done
SO that would have been his only
trump trick.
Set 700 Points.
But by dlscarding a diamond he
eventually got two tricks in the
trump suit After Mr.. Dale laid
down the ace and king of hearts,
Mr. Masters had the J-7 over Mr.
Dale's 8-6. So Mr., Dale ended up
taking just four heart tricks for
dismal 700-point set.
This would have been a good even
II Mr.. Masters and Mr.. Champion
had been able to make a game. But
they could not have done so.
This hand is Just another illus
tration of the fact that the most
damaging sets come from doubles of
low contracts-bids made by play
ers who have not yet heard from
their partners and are therefore
'out there all by themselves.

I ost River, near Cape Prince of Wa 'es. for some time producing about 100 tons per year They have now obtained certificate of neces- sitv from the Defense Minerals Ad- ministration to install a mill to mine lode tin. Building of the mill is to start immediately.
 On completion of the mill it is estimated that about 100 tons of ore will be produced day during the first year, with 30 to 40 men employed The coming two years will see increased production and employment
 This section of the Seward Pen insula is the only place on the North American continent, or un- der the American flag, where tin is produced. Concentrates are shipped to the company's own smelter in Seattle. Previously they were shipped to Texas, then the only tin shelter in the U. S., but when a new system of extracting the ore was discovered, which produced a finer grade tin, U S. Tin Corpor- ation built the Seattle smelter. Be- fore World War IT, the company sent it's tin to Singapore to be smelted, as the Texas plant was not then in existence.
 The company, under it's new op- erations of lode mining, will employ local help in that area.
 Since 1904. Sundborg said, four million pounds of tin have been exported from Alaska.

NIEMI RETURNS FROM EXTENDED
 INTERIOR TRIP

w. J. Niemi, chief of the opera tions division of the Alaska Road Commission returned Thursday from an inspection trip which cov- cred westward and interior Alaska Niemi left recently to survey the road situation prior to the spring breakup, and covered all the main highways, including the Glen Richardson and Alaska highway and also the Tetling Eagle road which is in the process of construction to connect Eagle with the Alaska highway and Dawson Y. T.
 He reports that the roads gener- ally, are in excellent shape for the coming breakup but it was felt by ARC that certain restrictions will have to be enforced for three or four weeks. Truck loads will be cut below the maximum at present allowed, and it may be possible that all truck travel will be elim- mated for a short time as was the case on the Alaska highway last year.
 Niemi said that truck travel over the Alaska highway has been very heavy until the past week or two when the Canadian government clamped restrictions on sections of the road in Canada which had an earlier break up than in Alaska.
 Thompson Pass on the Richard son highway. he reported, is in good shape and the time of year is now practically over when any trouble in travelling it should be encountered.
 < He inspected the Glen highway and then went up the Richardson highway as far as 1t is open, a few miles this side of Paxson.
 From Paxson Niemi went to let ling Junction and then up over the new road construction to the south fork of the Forty-Mile river, the end of transportation. This road, when completed this year, will con- meet Eagle with the Alaska highway and Dawson. He went down the Mile for a distance of about 40 miles where crews are freighting road and bridge material over the river ice in preparation for spring operations.
 He said road contractors on all the interior roads are now begin ming operations and everything points to the possibility of a very early start on roadwork this spring.

and Senate have expressed themselves
definitely to the effect that sources
of revenue have been to all intents and
purposes fully utilized. They say that
they would not know where to turn
for new levies.
At the same time the demand for
ever-ncreasing budgets for normal
purposes of government continues and
pressure is exerted even for such cost
ly and questionable projects as the
Central Arizona Valley Project and
the St. Lawrence Seaway. Each of
these is estimated to cost three quar-
tiers of a billion or more, with the
likelihood that actual costs on each
will run well above 81 billion.
The situation is one to give every
thoughtful citizen pause. Unless there
is acceptance by the Congress and
by the people as well that we cannot
afford a great number of projects that
are being urged, it is feared that the
initiation spiral will be stepped up
tremendously to a point where it could
get absolutely beyond control.
