The bidding:
South West North East
Opening lead, jack of spades.
Hands illustrating the principle
of the holdup play at no-trump
usually demonstrate this particular
type of strategy where declarer has
but single stopper in the suit in
which the defense has chosen to
make it's attack. But even where
declarer has two tricks in the suit
led, it is many times profitable not
to take the first trick. See how it
works in todays hand.
South opened the bidding quite
properly with three no-trump, hav-
ing the exact textbook require
ment for such bid, six and one
half honor tricks or point count
of Is. Note that q lesser bid, such
as two no-trump, would have been
passed by North.
West led the jack of spades,
East played the king and South
took it with the ace. The queen of
diamonds was led, taken by the
king, and the spade suit cleared.
West could not be prevented from
obtaining the lead with the ace of
diamonds and cashins sufficient
spade tricks to defeat the hand.
Another disaster was charged up
to bad luck rather than poor man
agement.
Actually, declarer could have
fulfilled the contract against any
possible distribution by a simple
precaution. The king of spades
should have been permitted to hold.
If East happens to have another
spade. then the contract is not in
danger, because the opponents
could do no better than take two
spade tricks and two diamond
tricks, since West could not possibly
have more than four spades.
II, however, Easts spade king is
singleton, he will be unable to
continue the suit and there is no
menace in the three other suits.
This will give declarer time to build
up the diamond trick and cash two
spades, three hearts, one diamond
and three clubs for a total of nine.
How should this be stated in the
form OF rule of thumb? Simply
this way: When in order to build
UP nine tricks at no-trump you
must relinquish the lead twice. as
In this case to the ace and the
King OF diamonds, it is generally
good strategy not to take the first
Trick even though you have two
shoppers in the suit. This is always
with the proviso that there is not
some other suit that you fear may
oe attacked in the meantime.

Masaoka and Fujjii's Attorneys Attack
Gals 37-Year-Old Alien Land Law

Everett Nation who contended
that it was proper for the State of
California to adopt a classification
used by the federal government in
declaring aliens ineligible" and
that the United States Supreme
Court had not yet overruled past de-
cisions in which its constitutionality
had been repeatedly upheld.
Mattoon was asked by Justice
Traynor whether or not the Alien
Land Law was primarily directed
against persons of Japanese ances-
try. Chief Justice Gibson also ask
ed him whether it WAS not common
ly understood by everyone in the
State of California at the time OF
the passage of the Alien Land Law
that it was primarily against Japa-
nese. Nation was evasive in his
replies and did not offer a direct
answer.
In summary, the arguments pre-
sented by the attorneys for the Ma
saokas and Fujii contended that
conditions and circumstances have
changed since the original Supreme
Court decisions upholding the vail
dity of the Alien Land Law were
handed down, and that as of today.
the Alien Land Law discriminates
almost solely against persons OF ia
panese ancestry. Furthermore, the
attorneys contended that the mo-
tives, intentions, and factual back
ground were not clear at the time
the original United States Supreme
Court decisions were rendered,
whereas the historical facts since
uncovered make it clear today that
the discrimination was intended
primarily against alien japanese.
The entire hearing took less than
an hour and-a-h half in a courtroom
which was filled to capacity by al
most 100 persons, including many
Issei and Nisei.
The Supreme Court is not expect
ed to hand down its decision for Sc
veral months.

there we're considerably more aliens
who were ineligible to citizenship"
and that for all practical purposes,
the present law was directed eX-
clusively against persons of Japa-
nese ancestry
The Masaokas were represented
by Loren Miller, well known Negro
attorney and legal counsel Of the
NAACP. and A. l.. Wirin, outstand-
ing attorney on constitutional law.
Attorney Miller restricted his argyll
ment, which many felt was the most
convincing and persuasive. to the
constitutionality of the California
Alien Land Law as affecting the
rights of American citizens. con-
tending that they are deprived of
the equal protection OF the laws UNI
der the United States Constitution
and under Section 81 of the Cali
fornia State Constitution.
Attorney Wirin emphasized that
the legislation was anti-Japanese
from its inception, and that past de-
cisions of the United States Su-
preme Court in upholding its con-
stitutionality concerned agricultural
land primarily and not residential
property as is involved in the Ma
saoka case
There was little reference made
TO the Declaration of Human Rights
of the United Nations. although
Chief Justice Gibson indicated that
in his opinion this declaration was
not a self-executing treaty, and
therefore could not nullify state
law. Attorney Wright took excep
ton to the views of the Chief JUS
tice, and stated that the declara-
ton was self-executing although
not expressly stated therein.

Jean hopefully.
Prince Charming, no doubt, res

dered that for herself the marital

sunni had complained of "kata
kori", of her shoulders aching, and
of having occasional headaches, too.
Fully aware that such condition but
indicated old age creeping up on her,
she had shuddered time and again
at the mere thought of it.
On the Threshold of the 80 mark,
she was beginning to feel she was
destined to become one of the legion
of Nisei women who had missed the
marriage boat. There were several
among her acquaintance: Fumi,
Kay, Miyo, Jessie, so it was some
comfort to her soul.
She wanted, however, to outstrip
them not so much by being the first
to get married as by escaping the
stigma of spinsterhood.
Presently, the clock struck $50.
"Oh, I must be getting along now

Aren't you a bit early?"
Early bird gets the bird. you
know. I hope I'll get good worm

mi, putting up a brave front.
ONCE OUT ON THE STREET,
she let herself wallow in fear that

bugaboo if some man would ask her
at the dance for a date. AS she
passed by store window, she caught
glimpse of herself there and tried
to convince herself that she wasn't
quite bad-looking. Then she remem-
bered her nose was narrow and
slightly upturned, the kind some
men like. Certainly it wasn't ty-

TWO NARROWLY ESCAPE
DROWNING ON MONDAY

DR.. Warren Keith Brown of
Warrenton narrowly escaped death
by drowning on the beach at Kitty
Hawk Monday just after noon
when he went to the rescue of
young lady who had called for
help. The young doctor and the
girl were both swept out to sea
and were within a moment or two
or drowning when they were res
cued by personnel from the Coast
Guard station. The young lady
was quickly revived, but artificial
respiration failed to revive the
doctor. A DIR. Peck from West
Virginia, guest at one of the beach
hotels, was summoned to Browns
aid, and he accompanied him to
Elizabeth City in Twiford ambu-
lance. On Tuesday morning, it was
from AlbemarIe General
Hospital that DIR. Browns condi-
ton was good and his recovery

SECOND SUICIDE
ATTEMPT FAILS
FRANK DeFEBIO

Frank ]. DeFebio made second
unsuccessful attempt to take his
own life in his Dare county jail
cell sometime during the night of
June 14-15. He was found with his
throat slashed on both sides and
one wrist cut, lying on the cell
floor between nine and ten o'clock
Friday morning by Policeman M. C.
Mitchell. The prisoner inflicted the
wounds with safety razor blade.
Rushed Immediately to Abe
marie General Hospital in Eliza
beth City, DeFebio was found to
be in weak condition from loss
of blood, but hospital authorities
did not find his condition as seri-
Gus as it was when he was brought
to the hospital after his first sui
eide attempt on April %. BY early
this week, his condition was re-
ported to be good and all doubt
of his recovery had been dismissed.
Thursday Afternoon Of last week
the courthouse square was the
scene of a determined effort by
Mrs. DeFebio to bring the six
months long fiasco to head by
forcing the responsible officials to
end the dragged-out case, once for
all. She brought the children from
Wanchese to their father at the
window of his cell. After consid-
cradle difficulty the officers re-
covered the children.
They were Immediately made
wards of the state and removed
from the county.
Presumably, mental depression
after the dramatic scene in the
courtyard led DeFebio to attempt
to take his life for the second
time. DeFebio told officers that he
had made the attempt at suicide
about midnight Thursday.
On Wednesday DeFebio COM
pleted his Jail sentence; he was
still under observation in Abe
marie General Hospital, his doc
tors ruling that his release should
be delayed for a day or two.
Juvenile Judge C. s. Meekins,
who had intended to give a final
verdict in the case involving the
care Of the DeFebio children on
Wednesday, postponed action on
the matter until DeFebio is free
to attend the hearing if he wishes.
Mrs. DeFebio has divided time
since last Thursday between Eliz-
abeth City and the Kitty Hawk
beach section.
