RACE HISTORY WEEK was
sbserved in many states last

names in textbooks, the colored
people are not given many
credits for civilization. This is
understandable. Most history has
been written by "aryan-minded'
Europeans who claim all the
credits. Each day we hear
speeches saying European cul-
ture" saved the world. This is
as bad as the Russians.

Opening lead, king of diamonds.
The East hand does not provide
good dramatic material nor can it
be looked upon as Gods gift to the
columnist, yet several players who
held it in the recent all-Southern
championship at st. Petersburg
Fla. gained the everlasting graft
tude of their respective partners
by remaining at their posts during
the tedious assignment of discard
ing.
The final contract varied. In
some cases it was six hearts, in
others six no-trump, and in one or
two cases a contract of seven no
trump was reached, on the whole
a rather precarious way of earning
a livelihood. Where the East player,
under the pardonable boredom
brought on by his dreary holding,
discarded indiscriminately and let
go a club or two, he placed West
in the vises of a squeeze from
which he could not escape. After
five spades, four hearts and a dia-
mond were run, the North hand
was down to two diamonds and the
four of clubs, South reduced to the
ace-king nine of clubs and West
found it impossible to reduce to
three cards without surrendering
If he discarded the queen of dia-
monds, dummy's nine would be
high and if he let go the eight of
clubs, declarer's three clubs would
run.
Where, however, East elected to
participate in the game, despite
the shortchanging to which he had
been subjected during the deal, he
realized that the only holding which
could have any value, however
slight, was his three to the ten of
clubs. He, therefore, elected quite
senSibly to hold on to that suit.
This permitted West to discard his
clubs and rely on East to guard
that suit while he held on to the
queen of diamonds. At the end,
declarer's nine of clubs would not
stand up and East took the only
trick for his side with the ten.

Bail and Communists

A person charged with crime which has
a connection with his Communist associations
is as much entitled to bail as burglar or an
arsonist But the purpose of bail should be kept
In mind.
The "second-flight' Communist leaders who
have been indicted under the Smith Act are
presumed under the law to be innocent until
proved guilty, and they are entitled to remain
at liberty on bail until finally convicted. But the
very purpose of bail is to insure their presence
If and when the time comes for them to be
committed to Jail. And in this respect the party
posting the bail has definite responsibility.

convictions of the II top Communist leaders on
charges of conspiring to teach and advocate the
violent overthrow of this Government four Of

to begin serving their sentences they could not
be found. And the officers of the Civil Rights
Congress bail fund, which had supplied their
bail, fatty refused to give any information 10

fugtives.
This clearly was breach of faith and an
evasion of responsibility. The responsible offi-
GERS should be punished for contempt. And the
court has every justification for refusing to
accept bail in any other case from the CRC. -
