Perhaps the greatest stumbling
block in writing business letters
is, the use of the same stereo-
typed stock phrases used by our
grandfathers. our great grand
fathers, and forebears as far
back as we can trace the busi-
ness.
Today's young business man is
as up-to-date as tomorrow'S
front page-until he rings for
his secretary. He then sets his
mind back 100 years and die
tates a letter so horrible that
1t might have come directly from
the files Of old Scrooge himself:
Gentlemen: In reply to your
favor of the 10th instant, we
are happy to advise you that
the facts you gave to support
your claim for credit with US
are entirely adequate. and we
trust that our relations viii be

that we are on this date ship
ping you a supply Of booklets
which we feel you may f1nd
advantageous in your promotion
campaigns. Thanking you for
favoring us with your valued
business, we beg to remain. ;"
One of the golden secrets OF
letter writing is: Be natural.
Imagine that you are talking to
the man to whom you are writ
ing, and put into the letter the
same words you would use in
conversation. A business letter
must be more concise, more
logical, than the average con-
versation; but it should make
use of the same principles Of per-
sonal force and conversational
directnesS.

In today's deal, the Solidity of
the club suit, plus good inter-
mediate cards influenced MIR.
Champion to go on to game at
no-trump even though he Sus-
pected that he and his partner
were somewhat short of the re-
quired IS per cent Of the high
cards.
There was also the fact that
the king Of spades assumed al
most the value of a full trick
sfter Miss Brash bid two no
trump, inferring some spade
strength.
Mr.. Abel opened the trey Of
spades and dummy's king won.
Looking the situation over, Miss
Brash saw that she had only six
immediate high card winners
three in spades, one in hearts
and two in diamonds.
She had three f1ve-card suits
in her hand and dummy. She
needed to set up one Of them to
develop the necessary three ad-
ditional winners.
Which one should she start to
work on? She chose clubs and
she was quite correct. Usually
in this situation. 1t is best to go
after the suit in which you do
not have the top cards.
Playing clubs, Miss BraSh was
one jump ahead Of the enemy
and their spade suit. After
knocking out both opposing club
honors, she still had a spade
stopper and thus won three
clubs, three spades. two dia-
mondS and a heart.
Note that If she had elected to
set up diamonds by giving up one
trick in that suit, she could have
developed four diamond tricks.
But still she would have had
only eight tricks in all.

Economy. balancing the
budget and a hope to cut taxes
as soon as possible are the un-
derlying reasons of so many
legislators desire to cut these
past "extravaganzaS" to the
bone.
But in addition to these.
some on-the-spot investiga-
tions conducted quietly by
representatives Of these COM
mittees show that some Of the
money earmarked for increas-
ing our allies military strength
has been squandered.
In the past, the spokesmen
for the administration spoke
in general terms Of the prog
ress made by the beneficiary
nations in the field Of defense.
These presentations were by
and large unrealistic, and ex-
cept in the case Of Turkey and
Greece were considerably OF
the mark.
Once the requested sums
were appropriated. the MSA
was the sole controller Of
these funds. And there is a
growing feeling that this or
ganization, headed in the past
by Paul Hoffman. later by Av-
erell Hartman and, since the
coming into office Of the Re-
publicanS, by Harold Stassen,
was extravagant insofar as its
own expenditures were con-

the military assistance money
was spent by the allied govern

among the travellers are said
to have favored not only dras-
tic cuts but a return of the
whole problem to the State
Department.
Since they are Eisenhower
supporters, almost to a man,
their final version will prob
ably not cut across his wishes
too strikingly. Nonetheless,
they are not shaping up like

In this, as in every foreign
policy move, the position of
the Democrats is of crucial
Importance to the administra-

however, are many who will
go along with the economizers
in slashing the appropriation

any personal favors from the
minority. His 194S bid for the
