He bid his hearts, intending tol

there wasn't any next round. Ger
tainly there was no reason for Mr..
Champion to think there was a.
slam. And the partnerships i'm
mediate objective, game, had been
reached when Mr.. Muzzy said two
hearts.
With a part score, when you have
a good fit in partners suit raise
him! Or make some kind of forcing
bid which can't be passed, if your
hand is strong enough over all to
justify such action.
Mr.. Dale opened the ten of dia-
mondS and Mr.. MuzZy won with the
queen. He promptly took three
rounds of hearts. wincing when Mrs.
Keen showed out on the third round.
He cashed the ace and king of dia-

board, covering Mrs. Keen'S trey
with the ace.
Mr.. Dale ruffed, cashed the jack
of hearts and led a club. Dummy's
ace won and Mr.. Muzzy threw al
spade on the thirteenth diamond. He
still had to lose a spade to Mrs.

Mr.. Muzzy thought he had the
great man at last. do you realize"
he said. that Mr.. Keen had four
spades to the queen-jack?"
MY answer Is yes" replied Mr..
Champion, deliberately. II win any
opening in my hand and lead a
small spade. If Mrs. Keen plays
low, I simply play the seven from
dummy and it holds. Then I lose
just one spade trick"
That's double-dummy," said Mr..

They are located all together in

of Shelby 1t is about 800 yards
south of the Shelby stockyards, and
Alvin Coomer, the feeder in charge,
says that visitors are welcome. He
lives right there and is putting in
full time on the bulls. 1t is the plan
to continue on full feed for the mini
mum of 140 days. This will run I'M
til the middle of April.
Not Easy. But Profitable
The association organized itself
for this particular job of indexing.
Five members were elected as a
committee to set it up and it turned
out to be job of work; pens to find
and lease, a feeder to hire, working
out ration and buying the feed,
reading tattoos, fixing feed hunks
and about a hundred other things.
Then the committee wisely decided
that one certain man should be in
charge, so they unanimously ''put
the finger" on Jim McKechnie. They
couldn't have done better because,
with Jim doing it, it looks easy. 1t
isn't, but it looks like it.
So association bull indexing has
begun in Montana. 1t has been bound
to come and was only question of
who would start first. There is an
other ASSOCIATION already planning
to start next year. 1t is a necessary
step because it is being requested
by the commercial breeders.

Wife of Pvt. Dixon Gets Annul1nent of
 Second Marriage

ATLANTA, (P)-Pvt. Walter B. Dixon, an "Enoch Arden" of the Korean war, is alive, a judge ruled yesterday, and annulled the second marriage of his pretty, blonde wife.
 Judge E. s. Andrews voided Mrs. Agnes Dixon Sasser's mar riage to Pfc. William Sasser after deciding that Dixon, first re- ported killed in Korean fighting, is actually a prisoner of the Chin csc communists.
 The 22-year-old blonde, a civ ilian employee at Fit. McPher- son near Atlanta, last September married Sasser, a soldier sta toned at the Fort. Dixon was re- ported killed in May, 1851.
 Mrs. Dixon received the first word that her husband was alive when the communists published a prisoner-of-war list shortly be- fore Christmas.
 Sasser, who previously said he would step aside if Dixon were found alive, was not in court.
 Mrs. Dixon, gave the court a telegram from the Defense De- partment which changed her hus- bands status from killed in ac- ton" to prisoner of war"
 Mrs. Dixon has received $10,000 insurance on the life of her first husband.

Mississippi Solon To Oppose Alaska Statehood Bill

SEATTLE, (P - Senator Sten- his D-Miss) said today he plans to address the Senate, probably this week, in opposition to state hood for Alaska.
 In fact, he said, he'll probably lead off for the opposition when the statehood bill is considered in the Senate.
 Stennis was one of the leaders in opposing Alaska statehood when the matter was debated in the Senate in November, 1850. That was the last time the sub ject came up in that branch of Congress.
 The government own 99.7 per cent of all land there, he said, and in the 85 years Alaska has been a territory only 1,500 square miles of it's land has passed into private ownership. This, he said, is equivalent to about one or two normal size counties and yet this area would be entitled to two sen atOrS.
 He also told a reporter that in the present emergency he does not believe that statehood for Alaska will strengthen the coun- try's defenses but rather might weaken them.
 Stennis said the basic factors holding back development of AL aSka are the climate and the haZ- ardous living conditions. Congress sional action cannot change these, he added.
 He said he does not know yet when he will take the Senate floor in opposition to the bill.

Communists Agree To Allow 25,0O0 Monthly Allied Troop Rotation

MUNSAN, Korea, (F) - Com munist negotiations in a double re- verSal today agreed to the Allied rotating of 25,OOO troops a month during an armistice and said Chinese would join in administer ing the demilitarized zone.
 The Reds baked, however, at restraints on moving their troops secretly into threatening concen- trations during an armistice.
 Previously the communists had agreed to rotating only 5000 JUN. troops. The Allies are asking for 75,000 a month.
 The Reds indicated Tuesday the Chinese would take no part in civil administration of the north ern half of a buffer zone during an armistice. They reversed it Wednesday.
 All these actions were taken by staff officers working their way slowly through an 18-page Allied draft of a plan for supervising an armiStice.
 In a neighboring tent at Pan munjOm, a JUN. spokesman said a North Korean general showed a critical and sarcastic interest in the Allied plan for exchanging prisoners.
 Brig. Gen. William P. Nuchols said the communist negotiator was reasonably objective, but it would be incorrect to say any measurable progress was being made"

State Dept. Notes
 Growing Goodness China to Moscow

WASHINGTON, (P)-The State Department took note today of re- ports that Red China and Soviet Russia are drifting apart.
 The departments official bulle- tin, in a review of happenings behind the iron curtain during 1851, led off with this comment on China:
 "In China, one of the countries where food production has fallen off in spite of so-called land reform,' mass executions, and the liquidation of landlords, there are reports describing a growing cool ness between Peiping and Mos cow"
 The department did not en- large on the point but said that in general 1851 proved to be an unhappy year behind the iron curtain"
 Month after month, and in country after country, the story has been the Same," the summary said. "It is one of increasing dis satisfaction, unsuccessful repres- sion, new purges, and other forms of communist frightfulneSS in the noW-familiar Soviet pattern.
 "In the free world, by contrast 1851 has been a year of rising strength, rising hope, and rising production, combining to build new bulwarks against Soviet ag- greSsion and promote the cause of peace"

Tells of Excessive Overtime Paid By COst-Plusers

LOS ANGELES, (P) - The labor market in southern Nevada has been disrupted by excessive overtime paid by cost-plus con- tractors at the Atomic Energy Commissions test site, an AEC dispute panel has been told.
 The panel is hearing protest by the McNeil Contracting Co.,, against cancellation of its $661 ,000 contract for construction on the site. The AEC says the fixed-fee contract was voided because Nc Neil failed to finish the job on time. McNeil says it was unable to finish because Haddock-E -Engi- neers, Inc, with a cost-plus con- tract, "pirated" its labor.
 Bruce McNeil testified that a cement foreman who earned maximum of $245 week with him received maximum of $641 week from Haddock.
 Tn three-month period, Nc Neil said, he had to hire 119 car penterS to keep 23 on the job.
 According to other testimony, Haddock paid common laborers as much as $250 weekly and plumb CTS as much as $756, some of them amassing more than 200 hours of overtime in a week.
 Paul B. Young, president of Haddock, has declined to com ment on the case.

 In an interview in Aviation Age, a trade and technical maga- zine, Vandenberg also said mo- thing has yet been developed, or is in sight, in the form of guided missiles to entirely replace piloted aircraft.
 Vandenberg said that while Russia's known designs in long range bomberS appear to have Jagged behind our own," the Rus Sians have displayed a bomber larger than the B-29 but smaller than the B-36. This bomber could have a radius of action extending from Soviet bases deep into the United States, he said.
 The general also said it is true the Soviet air force is getting val uable information land perhaps experience" from the use of So- viet weapons in Korea.
 "At least in the category of the jet interceptor they have solved many of the important problems of both design and large scale production" Vandenberg said.
