The bidding:

The less said about the North
South bidding the better. Obviously
the partners got their signals crossed
and landed at quite contract!
West opened his fourth-highest
club. South took East's jack with
the king and hopefully cashed the
top spades. The queen did not fall,
however, and South had to play a
third round. East discarded the
heart seven.
West could not afford another
club lead-South might still have
Q-x-and so he led his heart ten,
Now came East's first slip-he
ducked! Putting up the ace, he felt,
might make things easy for declarer.
The result, however, was consider
ably different. South took his heart
king, crossed to dummy's spade jack
and led another heart from the
board. This time East put up the
ace.
On this present heart trick West
was in peculiar (and dangerous)
position. He had thrown the heart
five on the fourth spade; now, on
the heart ace, he either had to dis
card the diamond ten or give up a
club. Both of these diScards were
fraught with danger, because both
would call for diamond shift! The
diamond ten would be read as a
demand for that lead: And a club
discard might be interpreted as the
abandonment of the suit. Rather
than surrender a trick, however
West discarded the diamond ten.
East promptly led a low diamond.
West, in with the diamond king, now
laid down the ace of club-and East
blocked the suit by playing the
seven! The up-Shot was that South
made one no-trump redoubled, for
game, instead of going down a
minimum of 1000 points!

Cigarette Use Tapsrs OF
After Long Upward Trend

Although US. smokers used
three and one-half billion more Gig
aretteS in l949 than in l948 there
was a decrease OF about one pack.
age Of cigarettes per capita says
the US. department of agriculture.
The bureau OF agricultural eco
nomics reports suggests that the
demand for cigarettes may now be
leveling off after a series Of record
breaking years.
Last year. the BAE reports. that
the increase Of three and one-hah
billion in use of cigarettes was
about l per cent, bringing the total
for the year to 352 billion. But popu-
lation increased more than l per
cent. The increase in cigarettes for
the first half Of the year was about
2 per cent, and for the last half was
Just about even with the l948 con-
sumption for those months. With
an estimated population increase
Of more than two and one-half mil
lion, this ngures TO a per capita
supply Of 2,435 cigarettes in l949 as
compared with 2,455 in 1913.
The steady and sometimes sharp
upward trend in cigarette con-
sumption in the United States has
been under way for many years,
the BAE records show Only one
drop in civilian consumption has
been noted. In 1914 the civilian use
ran below the l943 record. But the
bureau says that when allowance
is made for the great volume con.
sumed by large numbers in the
armed forces and overseas person
mel, total consumption in 1914 sub
stantially exceeded that Of l943."
During and since the war, Gig
arctic smoking has continued to
gain The figures for the last half
Of l949 are the first indication Of q

10 YearsAgo
Says Parks

WASHINGTON, March 81 --tR--
Movie Actor Larry Parks said to-
day he was Communist 10 years
ago but later quit the party.
Parks was the first witness in
a renewed hunt by the House Com
mittee on Un-American Activities
for Communist influence in Holly
wood and movie making.
Parks is best known to movie
goers for his lead role in The
Jolson Story"
In voluntarily admitting to party
membership a decade ago, Parks
said he considered there was a
great difference in being a party
member in 1941 and being one in
1851.
Il think that being a member of
the Communist party 10 years ago
fulfilled certain needs of a man
who was a Liberal" he told the
committee.
There are variations in political
party affiliations of which the COM
mittee should be aware" Parks
went on. For instance, he said.
some Southern Democrats actually
vote and act like Republicans.
There are variations, too. he said,
among Communists.
He said it was sympathy for the
little man" that caused him to
join the Communist party in years
gone by.
At the outset, Parks told the COM
mittee his only loyalty lis to Amer
lea and the freedoms for all Amer
icans."

Civilian Defense System
Urged BY II. Gen. kepner;;
Is Vital Necessity 10 All

accomplish this limited evacuation
beforehand if our intelligence
sources gain information that such
an attack is pending. This would
permit greater saving CT civilian
lives.
GAS an example, if we assume that
enemy troops have dropped on
Anchorage and later they drive the
civilians ahead of them as shields
when attacking, this furnishes
peculiar and distressing problem.
We know this could happen if no
prepal atoms have been made"
He said correspondents had re-
ported such tactics by Communists
in Korea.
I'VE must clear the decks be-
torehand, if possible, in a critical
area" he continued. 1.-THE proper
authority to undertake this move
ment is the local civil defense or
.ganization. My principal interest
lies in ascertaining that the high
ways our forces will use in defensive
operations are not clogged by evac-
uees."
