Contract Bridge
BY EosIey BIockwood

~SSt
It never pays to become COM
placent about any contract espe-
cially when one of the defend
ers is a player like Mr.. Masters.
Today's six-spade contract
looks so easy. There are no losers
in clubs, no losers in diamonds.
Mr.. Abel led the king Of hearts
so it was possible to ruff two
hearts in dummy and if the third
lead of hearts got over-ruffed, it
would take the king Of spades to
do it-and that would be the de-
tenders only winner.

In spite of these facts, Mr..
Masters defended in such a way
that Mr.. Dale was on thin ice
all the way and had to make a
good guess as to the opponents
distributional patterns to collect
IL tricks.
The ace of hearts won the first
trick. A heart was ruffed in
dummy with the duce of spades.
Returning to his hand with the
ace of diamonds, Mr.. Dale led
his heart and ruffed with the
eight of spades.
If Mr.. Masters had over-ruffed
here, Mr.. Dale could have won
the rest without difficulty. But
he did not over-ruff. Instead, heA
discarded the eight Of clubs.
When the eight of spades held
the fourth trick, Mr.. Dale had
the problem of getting back to
his hand to lead trumps. The
only way was by cashing the king
of diamonds. then rufting a dia-
mond.
If he had done that and fol-
lowed with the lead of the ace,
then the queen of spades, Mr..
Masters could have won the Sec
Ond spade lead with the king and
returned his last club, the queen.
The dummy would have had
nothing left but clubs at this
point and Mr.. Masters could have
ruffed the next club lead for the
setting trick.
Mr.. Dale offset this beautiful
defensive maneuver but it took
a lucky guess to do it. He rea-
Eoned that since Mr.. Masters had
started with only two hearts, it
was unlikely he also had started
with a singleton club. There
fore, at trick five he cashed the
ace of clubs. taking Mr.. Mas
ters' last card in that suit. Only
then did he come to his hand by
ruffing a third round of dia-
monds. Now, when Mr.. Masters
got in with the king of spades,
he had no club to lead. His dia-
mond return was ruffed and Mr..
Dale was able to spread the hand.

Need A New Birth of Courage
To Insure Freedom and Peace

are the words by which we live,
or, by which ignoring them, die.
But it's not enough to be against
sin and for the Ten Command
ments. The task of religious lead
ers today is to interpret the day
by-day events of our national and
international life in the light of
these Commandments.
The task of all of us is to seek
out the truth in the spirit of these
commandments.
When innocent men are NAL
igned for unpopular views, the
false witnesses must be de-
nounced as such. When immigra-
ton laws draw invidious distinc-
tions between one race and anoth-
er, one ethnic group and another,
religious teachers and laymen
alike must demonstrate the rele-
vance of Love thy neighbor as
thyself."
We need a new birth of courage
if we are to have a new birth
of freedom and peace - the cour-
age to put human values above
property values, to put national
interests above party interests, to
put the desperate needs of suffer
ing humanity above the creature
comforts, of any small part of it.
We need the courage to let the
truth be spoken as men under
stand the truth, the courage to
challenge our leaders, even as the
Prophets did, without fear. To call
us back to the basic moral truths,
to measure our lives by the yard
sticks of those truths, and to in
fuse us with the fiery will, these
are the sacred tasks of religion to-
day. To these, we must all re-dedi-
cate ourselves in the new year
STA ahead.

gropes for the rock from which
we were heWn - the rock OF
Faith, Fidelity and Truth.
Now, in this High Holy Day sea-
son, when Judaism teaches that
we must re-eXamine our past to
the end that we may better direct
our future - now we sense once
more that the elemental laws
which undergrad the structure of
society are our only salvation.
Thou shalt not bear false witness
against thy neighbor," a Com
mandment hitherto recited by rote
in religious exercise, now booms
out like the thunder of Sinai.

shalt not covet," Thou shalt love
thy neighbor as thyself" these

lures. It is significant that AShkenaAc Jews,
and most of us are AshkenaZim, have
changed the last words Of the Sholom Prayer
during this solemn season. On all the other
days of the year, adopting phrase OF the
psalms, we conclude with the words: 20 LORD,
Who blessest Thy People Israeli However,
during the High Holiday Season we substitute
a phrase taken from the prophet Isaiah: ~
Lord, Who makest peace" We pray for peace
for the entire world, not only for one people
or one country only
For over 3 years a war was fought IN
Korea, involving people from all over the
world Thousands of young men lost their
lives. After years of negotiations, an arms
tice was recently concluded. But it seems that
the truce has left great many people humlll-
ated To them we say: Not victory, but peace
must be our goal. Too many empires placing
their trust in skill and modern weapons and
disregarding the designs of the Almighty, the
Peace-Maker, have scored final victories
only to be reduced to a second-rate nation at
the end. "My power and the might OF my
hand hath gotten me this wealth. is warm
ing to be needed in every period OF history.
Let us be grateful to Cd, "Who maketh
Deace." for sparing the lives of our young
people. May the incoming year STA usher IN
an era of harmony and lasting peace among
all the nations of this earth. May the word
Sholom be, not only prayer and hope, but
a reality. Amen. 81

Religion - Not For Me
But For My Children
By Rabbi Roland B. GittelSOhn

Several times in September, during those
hectic weeks when almost daily was meeting
prospective Synagogue members, found my
self listening to one or another variation OF
the same conversation pattern. 1t was always
either a father or mother explaining to me
the desire for affiliation with our COngrega-
ton in words something like these: "You
know, Rabbi, I'm really not religious at all
(or: I'm an atheist ;. agnostic non-be-
lieVer). don't care about these matters my
self but am joining in order to give my child
a chance to discover the nature of his own re-
ligion. If, when he grows older, he decides to
reject it, that will be his own business"
Few conversations give me a greater or
deeper feeling of futility. How can any sensi-
bly, intelligent person expect the Synagogue
School, in it's pitifully few hours each week,
to cOunteract religious Indifference at home?
Even if religious education were entirely
matter of acquiring facts, our hands would be
tied by such parental attitudes. How much
worse, however, when it is remembered that
religious education is even more a matter of
building attitudes than acquiring facts.
Suppose parent were to say: "I don't be-
lieve in cleanliness myself and don't propose
to maintain cleanliness in my home but will
give you my child for two hours each week so
that you may teach him the ideal of cleanli-
ness" Or suppose parent were to adopt SINH
lar attitudes toward patriotism or any other
ideal in life which is of great consequence.
Often I wanted to take such parents liter
ally by the shoulders and to shake some sense
into them. Judaism involves persons whole
heart as we'll as his basic attitudes toward the
meaning of human existence. How can I, or
any other Rabbi build a sound foundation for
such attitudes in the lives of children whose
parents and homes are Indifferent, if not al
together antagonistic? How can we teach
children the Importance Of Synagogue attend
ance, of study, of holiday observance, if the
very lives of their parents belle what we teach
them?
The task of religious education is joint re-
sponsibility beg of you: Don't give me your
child unless you are willing to give me also
yourself, SO that together we may build better
Jews and more useful human beings

Hoover Asks More
Pay For Police

WASHINGTON IN - J. Edgar
Hoover spoke up today for better
pay for policemen, saying "cut-
rate law enforcement will not
work"
The FBI director, in an article
In the bureaus monthly law en-
forcement bulletin, said:
Zone factor which undoubtedly
contributes to the prosperity of the
criminal element is police pay
scale too low to maintain law
enforcement forces at full strength.
10 -
"Unwillingness to provide proper
remuneration for the intelligence
and effort required in the perfor-
nance of modern police duties is
a form of cut-rate law enforcement
and it will not work.
"The logical result is a bigger
crime bill in the form of murders,
robberies and all the other mani
fold ways in which crime can be
expensive. -"

NEW YORK R-The death Of
wage controls win find both work
ers and employers wondering if
another round of pay boosts is
coming up.
And white collar men will be
asking if the raise they hoped for
the raise that somehow got stuck
in the paperwork involved in con-
trolls or was pared back from what
the boss said he'd like to give-will
now be a possibility again.
Pressure for higher wages win
doubtless be increased in several
quarters as wage controls end.
With employment at a record
high and unemployment slight
with industrial activity at a peak
and many skilled workmen hard to
find--labor will be in good bar
gaining position if time TO reopen
contracts rolls around during the
present business boom.
But several rounds of pay boosts
since the war have lifted wages
high in many industries, and man.
agement is getting more stubborn
as operating costs pinch profit
margins.
Most businessmen feel that, for
industry as a whole, there won't be
much change in either labor de-
mands or management stands as
result of the end Of controls. Busi-
nessmen contend that for all prac-
teal purposes wage controls have
been all but dead for months.
First test Of what is likely to
follow the end of controls may be
found in some 10000 applications

Board for new and higher pay
scales.
