The bidding:
West North East South
iheart Pass 2hearts 2spades
Sd'm'ds Pass 3hearts 3spades
Pass 4spades Pass Pass
Double Pass Pass Pass
It was, of course, in order for
South to overcan the two-heart
raise with two spades, but when the
bidding developed as it did on the
next round, with West showing the
strength for a three-level rebid
in a new suit, and North still hold
ing his peace, it was q decided over
statement OF values for South then
to bid three spades. His first CALL
could be read by North as COM
petitive action-since with a very
powerful hand South would have
doubled two hearts automatically
but when South announced, via his
three-level rebid. that he did not
fear being doubled even though
North shad shown nothing, it was
inevitable that North should get
the wrong impression of the North
South resources.
The bidding had guaranteed to
North that South was extremely
short in hearts, and Vests three
diamond call had implied that
South's outside" strength, whatever
1t was, was in the club suit, where
North had such excellent support.
Thus. North could not be blamed,
when West failed to go on over
three spades, for putting South into
q spade game. From North's point
OF view it certainly seemed that a
one-trick penalty would be the limit,
whereas there might be a fine play
for the contract.
Actually, even with the diamond
ace and club queen off side, South
should have held the penalty to two
tricks, which would not have been
really costly, but even after West
showed the AK of hearts and the
spade ace, South still played West
for the ace of diamonds. That mis-
calculation resulted in the total
loss OF six tricks, for a net penalty
Of 400 points.

In modern times we have had
epidemics in Europe, North Ameri-
ca and elsewhere. One Of these
was the influenza-or "f1u"-epi-
demic of the first World War: this
claimed the lives of many thou
sands of persons.
Never, however, have people of
the white race suffered a worse
epidemic than the Black Death.
No disease Of modern times has
swept away such a proportion of
human life.
The Black Death struck Europe
604 years ago. Good proof has
been found that it started its evil
work in Asia. People in India fell
victim to it in vast numbers, and
1t swept westward into Turkey, Pal
estine and Egypt.
Suddenly people in port cities of
Sicily. Italy and France were at
tackled We are told that they were
tracked with pain and severely
shaken" and that after splitting
blood for three days they died. Dur
ing the short period of illness, each
victim had dark markings on his
skin, and this fact seems to have
led to the name of Black Death.
AS the months passed, the plague
spread to Belgium, Holland, Ger
many and England. It reached
Poland two years after its opening
blows in Italy. A little later Poland
and Russia we're added to the list
Of Black Death countries.
What was to be done to check
the illness? The doctors of the
time fought it as well as they could,
but they were without knowledge
Of its cause or cure.
Avignon, in France, was one of
the cities which suffered. Living
there was Guy de Chauliac, surgeon
to the Pope. He felt that the best
thing for him to do to save his life
was to flee, but he feared that he
would be in disgrace as a doctor
If he did so. Staying in Avignon,
he treated victims by giving pills,
by letting blood and so on. He took
the disease himself, but was for
tunate enough to live throught it.

Fund Cuts 10
Ease Tax Boost
Says SIS Billion Slash
Will Keep New Levies
Down to $o Billion
By J. A. OLeory

Chairman George of the Senate
Finance Committee called yester-
day for a cut of at least SIS bill
lion in appropriations for the cur
rent fiscal year to lessen the need
I for new taxes.
The administration is askins for
$40 billion in additional taxes,
but there were strong indications
from several sources yesterday
that the Senate will not go above
the 81 billion voted by the House,
Senator George said if Congress
would trim between SIS and $6
billion from the appropriation
bills, none of which has become
law yet, ''it would end all talk
of running this tax bill up to $40
/ billion"
Sees Sc Billion Taxes Enough.
In fact, the Georgia Democrat
suggested that, with savings of
$5 billion in the budget, the Gov
ernment ought to get by the 1852
fiscal year with a tax bill in the
neighborhood of $6 billion.
AS the Finance Committee took
a week end recess in the tax hear
bingS, the chairman also predicted
that:
l. Unless a global war develops
this will be the last tax increase
during the current defense buildup.
2 If a world war is not in sight
Iby the summer of 1852, these
taxes will level off, even if it means
leveling off some of the program. ="
Senator George made it clear
that he favors going ahead with
a reasonable defense buildup pro-
gram through 1858, and that his
forecasts are predicted on a more
peaceful outlook next year.
Would Cut Foreign Aid.
IF We get out of this Korean
situation. and there is no global
conflict in sight at the end of
this fiscal year (July, 1882 senti-
ment will not support the tax
structure they now want through
1858" the Georgian said.
In calling for savings of between
IS and Sc billion in Government
spending, Senator George said
about SIS billion of it could be
taken from the $85 billion foreign
aid authorization still under con-
sideration in House and Senate
Foreign Affairs committees.
OF the foreign aid total, the
President earmarked $625 billion
for military equipment and 1925
billion for economic aid. Senator
George said he would favor cut
ting the economic aid.
Il think we can do that and
make savings at home without in
any way sacrificing the strength
of our defense program" the
Senator continued.
Some Cuts Already Made.
The Finance chairman said he
expects many will argue that the
full amount requested for foreign
aid must be allowed.
Il have a good answer to that, :"
