Israel Reported Studying
Oil Rights for U. s. Firms
BY the Associated Pres.


HAIFA, Israel, July 24.-The
Israeli government was reported
by official sources today to be
preparing a new law which would
permit it to give concessions to
American companies to carry out
oil explorations. The legislation
would nullify concessions given to
British prospectors by the former
British mandate government.
A high government source also
declared that the Haifa refinery
largely owned by the British
controlled Anglo-Iranian Oil Co.
will soon increase production to
full capacity. The refinery has
been operating at less than a third
capacity for some time.
The Iraq petroleum line to
Haifa is now closed and the main
problem centers around shipping
crude oil to Israel through the
ISuez Canal. Israel has complained
to the United Nations Security
Council that Egypt has blockaded
oil shipments through the canal.

NEW YORK. July 24.-Willian
Green, president of the American
Federation of Labor, said yester.
day that the United States mus

"a decision which will enable thu

in peace"
The veteran labor leader made
his declaration at the 35th con-
vention of the AFL international.
Longshoremen's Association.
Mr.. Green said that the "Ko-
rean war is only one phase-and
comparatively minor one-of the
worldwide and incessant struggle
into which the forces of freedom
have been driven by the necessity
of self-defense against the forces
of Communist enslavement."
1--WE must still support large
armed forces. regardless of the
outcome of negotiations in Korea, u
he said. 1--WE must continue to
produce vast amounts of arma-
ment. We must maintain our
program of assistance to the free
nations allied with U.S."
Mr.. Green called for a decision
embodying points such as those
laid down at the recent Interna-
tional Confederation of Free Trade
Unions in Milan, Italy. They were
that Russia must abolish slave
labor, permit free trade unions,
lift the iron curtain, renounce
force and conform 10 the rules OF
human justice.
Mr.. Green said these terms

"as the basis for permanent peace
and amity."

rival CLIO. as far back as 1885,
George Meaney, AFL secretary
treasurer, told the convention. He
said Mr.. Lewis gave Communists
a beachhead in labor when he
organized the CIO.
Mr.. Lewis, now at odds with the
CLIO, is president of the United
Mine Workers of America, an un-
affiliated union.

ing.
The great great grandson OF
Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt
and four other persons were &C
cused yesterday Of "contemptuous"
conduct before a Federal grand
jury.
All five are connected with the
Civil Rights Congress bail fund
which posted, and forfeited, $780,
900 in bonds for four fugitive top
rung Communists. The jury is
looking into the quartet's fight.

yesterday Mr.. Saypol said Mr..
Field refused to answer grand
jury questions unless he was per-
mitted counsel.
Mr.. Saypol said Mr.. Field, in
effect, wanted his lawyer in the
grand jury room, a practice for
hidden ~ law.
When Judge McGohey heard
this. he said:
That's enough. I don't need
to hear any more. That Just goes
beyond Il1e realm of reality
But the court granted Mr.. Field
until today for further argument.
If Mr.. field remains silent, the
judge. can impose an additional
contempt sentence against. him.
Also summoned into court along
with Mr.. Field were two bail fund
office employees. Bookkeeper Muriel
Patterson and Telephone Operator
Dorothy Faulkner.
Mr.. Saypol said their conduct
as jury witnesses was offensive
and outrageous.
Abner Green, another bail fund
trustee. was given until tomorrow
by Judge McGohey to produce the
funds records and books.
If Green doesn't heed the judges
order, he faces the prospect of
Joining Mr.. Field and two other

The bidding:

1spade Pass diamonds Pass

Opening lead, ace of spades.
The selection of the best opening
lead involves something more than
a mere study of the IS cards held
by the leader. His holding must be
considered in the light Of the bid
ding sequence which led to the final
contract. And occasionally, even a
thought must be given to the prob
able mental processes Of the adver-
sary who directed the final contract
Today's bidding is reported as it
took place, without Endorsement
and for what it may be worth. The
South player was employing the
Blackwood convention and ex-
pected to obtain an answer advis-
ing as to the number of aces North
held North, however, took mat
tiers into his own hands. He felt
confident there was a slam in the
hand when South was able to make
a jump shift with an apparent
broken trump suit. He feared that
If he made the dutiful response
Of five diamonds, showing only one
ace, his partner might lose courage
and pass, so he leaped to the slam.
We do not look with favor upon
such action. 1t is an undue assump-
ton of responsibility.
West had the opportunity to make
q very safe lead by way of the
queen of hearts. But he was inter-
ested not so much in safety as with
finding some means of beating the
hand by aggressive action. He
himself held a surprisingly great
amount of honor strength in view
Of the vigorous nature of the ad-
verse bidding, and he set about Wis
ualizing the type of hand which
would have induced the enemy to
venture so far.
It was evident that North was
very strong in diamonds, which
meant that South's trump suit was
not very powerful one. What
then persuaded South to make a
jump shift instead of a mere tenn
por;zing takeout of two diamonds?
West concluded that South must
have been Influenced to a certain
extent by mild spade fit, because
with non-solid trump suit and
q misf1t in partners suit it is not
probable that he would have given
an immediate slam signal.
Now, If North happened to have
o five card-spade suit and South
had three, East would have a sin
gleton. On this line of reasoning,
he elected to lead the ace and an
other spade, which defeated the
contract. 1t all sounds very thin,
but it seems to me rather interest
Ing. Furthermore, who are we to
argue with success?
