To answer these queries and, I
hope, to brighten the future of
my correspondents. let me give
you a few hands from a recent
national tournament where all
of the contestants were Life
Masters.
Today's deal is from a knock
out team-of -four match. At one
table the bidding went as fol-
lows:
North East South West
diamond Pass l heart 2clubs
Pass Pass 3 clubs Pass
3 hearts Pass 4hearts Pass
Pass Dbl. Redbl. All Pass
West led the king of spades
and South won with the ace.
He played to dummy's ace Of
hearts and led a heart back.
East won with the king and re-
turned a spade. West took the
queen and if he had led another
spade here, the contract could
have been defeated one trick.
However, West decided to re-
turn a club and South won on
the board with the king and led
the last heart. East had to put
UP the ten and South won with
the queen and returned the nine.
knocking out East's jack. East
led back a spade, but South won
with the jack. picked up the last
trump and spread the hand. He
made four hearts redoubled for
1890 points.
At the other table, the North
player elected to pass as dealer.
South opened with one heart,
West passed and North now
jumped to three hearts. South
bid six hearts which East dou-
bled. AS before. the king of
spades was opened and spades
were led each time the defend
ers got in.
That assured a three trick set
but in addition South dropped
a trick in the play and was down
100 points. Thus, widely diver
gent bidding and play brought
an overwhelming swing of 2130
points on the hand.

NATOMoy Require Revision
French Plan to Bury Paris Pact Makes 1t Necessary
To Find Way to Build West Europe Defenses

President-elect Eisenhower
and his foreign-policy advisers
are studying the possibility Of
creating a new European de-
Tense organization either as a
substitute for or as an imple-
mentation of the present
NATO. This may be necessary
in the light. of recent develop
ments in France.
The new French cabinet
headed by Rene Mayer has de-
cided to bury the Paris pact
signed last summer by all the
NATO members but confirmed
only by our Senate and the
British Parliament. Mr.. Mayer
sent it to committees of the
: National Assembly for revision,
renegotiation and reconsidera-
tion.
This means that the Paris
pact is going to be so emas-
culated that it won't be worth
the paper it is written on.
The loosening of the ties Of
the NATO will necessitate a
revamping of that organiza-
ton. The chief interest of the
United States is the creation
of a military force in Europe
capable of withstanding Red
aggression. AS things stand
now this does not exist.
Only recently Marshal AL
phonse Pierre JUN, the top
ranking officer in France and
and commander of the NATO
ground forces, declared that
Russia could take Paris in %
days" The supreme COM
mander of the coalition forces.
Gen. Matthew Ridgway, is less
pessimistic. He is said to be-
lieve that it would take the
Red armies at least 40 days to
get to the French capital II
they were to attack now.

course, based on the expecta-

2GroVe Questions Involve Oil
These Problems Plague Truman as He Lays Down
His Burden: TideIonds and Cartel Investigation

The lawyers are making it
hard for President Truman to
resolve two grave questions of
policy involving worldwide
oil interests in what he re-
CARDS as the interests of the
national security of the United
States.
Lawyers for seven major oil
companies have rejected as
insulting" the Presidents
conditional offer to drop a
criminal grand jury's inquiry
into their world operations.
The President acted after the
National Security Council ad-
vised him that pursuit Of the
case might hurt this country

proved the transfer.

portion of the army under his
command would fight as dog
gedly as the American and
British divisions.
Regardless Of whose estimate
is correct, the fact is that the
NATO forces as they exist to-
day are hardly more capable Of
defeating a Red onslaught than
they were one or two years
ago. We may be able to fight
a more successful delaying ac-
ton than in 1851 or 1852, but
no sensible military man hopes
to do more than halt tempo
rarily an attack and their ini-
tial success.
All the professional soldiers
at SHAPE have recognized this
situation for the last 18
months. It is for this reason
that they have urged inclusion
of Western Germany's man
power into the NATO. At the
Lisbon Conference in 1851 this
request of the military was
accepted by the NATO diplo-
mats. The Bonn government
agreed to proYide an army Of
IL combat divisions and set
aside about $21a billion for
that purpose. The balance was
to have been provided by the
United States.
But unfortunately. the old
fears and jealousies on the
part of the French prevented
this plan from becoming a
reality. The West German
army is still a blueprint, while
the Soviets have organized in
the meantime an effective East
German military force some
100000 strong.
We have demonstrated our
keen interest in keeping West
ern Europe free by spending

its economic, social and mill

The Middle East and its fab

President Truman's farewell
address was one Of the ablest
and most comprehensive
speeches he has made during
the presidency.
Nevertheless. 1t contained
antiquities unlikely to clarity
for our friends the foreign poll
icy with which the larger part
OF. it is concerned.
American rearmament and
the building Of Worldwide al
liances were originally designed
as the basis for a settlement
with the Soviets. 1nitially it
was argued that the military
measures were necessary to
create a posture of strength
from which the West could
negotiate.
A vestige Of that attitude
remains in the Presidents
speech, in his appeal to Stain:
"You claim belief in Lenin's
prophecy that one stage in the
development of Communist
society would be war between
your world and ours. But
Lenin was preatomic man.
-. War has changed its shape
and dimension. It cannot now
be a stage in the development
Of anything but ruin for your
regime and your homeland.

Truman Buoys Red Propoqondo
President Is Playing Politics When He BIomes the Press
And Gen. Macarthur for Desertions in Service
Dovid LoWrence:

President Truman hasn't
explained the reason for the
desertions from the armed
forces. Primarily that's be-
cause he probably doesn't know
1t himself-nor do the high
officers at the Pentagon, who
merely say the rate of deser-
tion is half what it was during
World War II.
Mr.. Truman has attacked
many other persons for play
Ing politics with serious mat
ters Of state but. when he at
tempts to blame sections of the
American press and Gen. Mac
Arthur. he has laid himself
open to historians of the fu-
ture, who will probably pro-
nounce his declaration that
OF a piqued politician who.
In order to attain a political
purpose - self vindication -
would not hesitate to advertise
to the world, including Mos
COW, that he thinks that troops
under his own administration
didn't care to fight for world
peace.
Mr.. Truman declares, in an
interview with Doris Fleeson,
that American boys are "being
Systematically taught that the
peace of the world is not worth
fighting for" He says it is the
most serious morale problem
that faces the new administra-
ton. What a remarkable prop
aganda gift Mr.. Truman gives
Moscow on a platter as he
departs from Office! The Com
munists have been sending
leaflets and blaring from their
loudspeakerS at the front that
the cause in Korea isn't worth
fighting for. Now, Mr.. Truman
offers the Communists cor
roboration on the authority of
the President Of the United
States that $4,000 Americans
think so.
1t Is important. therefore, to
analyZe Mr.. Truman's mis-
representations lest they be
believed around the world.

Communist aggression In Ko-
rea. But the Truman courage
has been equally evident in the
domestic realm.
To paraphrase another strong
man Of our day, Truman made
it clear from the hour the
mantle Of its author fell upon
his shoulders that he had not
become President to preside
over the liquidation of the New
Deal. And despite all the bat
tering that brought upon his
head. he not only adhered to
this decision but endeavored to
carry his predecessors purposes
further under the name Of the
Fair Deal. Much has been said,
favorable and unfavorable. Of
Truman's loyalty to his friends.
Not enough Of his loyalty to
the little people Of the land,
Of the personal punishment he
invited and accepted in their
behalf. That, too. will surely
be mentioned in history.

Lowell Me7ett:
Finally; They're Fencing Him In
Huge Inaugural Reviewing Stand and Spectators Seats
Obscure White House as Truman Winds Up Work

in his grave when. as, say in
the case Of Andrew johnson, it
dawns on the people that he
had served them well.
Fortunately. If he has fears
of this kind, they are ground
less. Now that the bitterness
of party politics is passing. it
is coming to be agreed that,
Harry S. Truman is little
likely to be numbered among
our forgotten Presidents. He
will be listed instead among
the brave. among those able
to make the decisions on which
history rests. If there is not
agreement as to the wisdom
Of all his decisions. there will
be agreement as to the courage
that went into their making.
When people talk this way
about Truman-and more and
more they do talk this way
they usually refer to the de-
cision to order the use Of the
atomic bomb, the decision to
stop Russia on the Greek and
the Turkish borders, to help
make Western Europe capable
of its own defense, to present
a united fighting front against
