East's double of the three no.
trump bid was the action which
wrecked his own side, leading as 1t
did to the redouble, but the real
culprit was West. The latter's dou-
BILE of there spades was one of those
purposeless calls which almost in
variably mislead and "fix' the part
ner of the doubler-not the enemy!
From East's point of view the North
South bidding was ambiguous, and
when West doubled the three-spade
bid, East concluded that the oppo-
nents were fioundering around in
search of the best contract, when,
as a matter of fact, South was
slam-trying!
West felt sure, on the bidding,
that East had a lot of clubs, so he
opened his singleton of that suit.
Gle was afraid that a spade lead
would go into an opposing tenace)
Declarer played a low club from
dummy and, when East ducked, won
with the blank queen. He then led
a heart to the queen, cashed the
heart ace, and when the break
showed up, led a low diamond and
finessed the queen. Now he knocked
out Vests heart stopper, set
ting up his own fifth heart. The
upshot was that South won four
heart tricks, two spades, two dia-
monds and one club-for total
score of 1,150 points Gncluding the
rubber bonus).
South could have boosted this to-
tai by the substantial amount of
800 points via the very simple expe-
dient of playing the club king at
the first trick! Now let East hold
up, if he chose! Declarer would
simply continue to lead high clubs,
using dummy's heart entries, and
by establishing four clubs tricks he
could eventually take the diamond
finesse and end up with two extra
tricks.

States Fundamental
Principles of COP.

The first and fundamental principle
of the Republican Party is the preser-
walton of this Republic, chairman Guy
S. Gabrielson of the Republican
National committee told a Western
States conference recently.
He warned:
eve have all seen how political
parties rise to power and fall, but our
government endures. If, however, the
Nation should fall, all is lost" Gabriel
son said the Republican Party pledges
its full resources to see that this
vital fortress Of free world shall not
crumble away through mismanage-
ment or moral decline"
The Chairman pointed out that just
as the Republican Party has fought to
preserve the Union, so it has sought
to maintain the American way of
life, adding that when it became
fashionable to introduce "little"
Communism into the American Gov
eminent the Republican Party took
issue. He said, there cannot be a
little Communism in government just
as there cannot be a little license to
steal and defraud in government"
Gabrielson said the Republican
Party is resolved to % rid the gov
eminent of any remaining vestge of
Communist influence; ((2) to cleanse
the government of deep seated "Pen-
dergast-type rascality and moral
turpitude;" go to maintain free en-
terprise in the United States; (4) to
so strengthen the Nation that it may
Cnce more command respect in any
part of the world; 90 to nominate
and elect the type of candidate who
can once again bring about national
unity, and CO. to assist in marshalling
the resources and forces of the world
against the threats Of militant Com
munism.

Arlington Treasurer
Questioned byCourt
On Unsigned Checks

Arlington Circuit Court has
been asked to order County Treas
urer John Locke Green to show
cause at a hearing July Q why
he should not sign two payroll
checks issued by the County
Board.
Treasurer Green returned the
checks unsigned to County Man
lager A. T. Lundberg, saying they
were issued for employees OF a
department of dubious legality,
The employees, Fred A. Gosnell,
director, and Mrs. Virginia G.
Foltz, secretary. of the Depart
|ment of Real Estate Assessments
were appointed this month.
The department was created by
Ia county ordinance which was at
tackled by Mr.. Green last year.
The Arlington Circuit Court ruled
lin December. however, that the
department was legally consti-
Ituted. Mr.. Green has appealed
the ruling and the Virginia Su-
lpreme Court has agreed to review
the case. 1t is on this point that
Mr.. Green justifies his refusal to
sign the checks.
Malcolm D. Miller and Edmund
D. Campbell, attorneys for the
County Board, in asking the court
order, pointed out that the board
action followed the favorable De-
cember ruling of the court. The
petition filed yesterday says the
treasurer's refusal to act lob.
structs and will prevent the car
rying out of the assessment

The check for Mr.. Gosnell was
for $256.14 on his $s.500-a-year
salary, and the check for Mrs
Foltz was for $137.81 on her SO 300
salary. Both Mr.. Gosnell and
Mrs. Foltz are continuing at their
