If someone asked you to tell
the biggest fish in the world,
what would you answer?
I feel sure that few, if any,
regular readers of this column
would name the whale. In olden
days, many persons supposed the
whale to be a fish, but modern
knowledge has pushed that idea
aside. A whale is an air breath
ing mammal; the mother whale
gives milk to her young.

On the record, Mr.. MuzZy and

The bidding:
South West North East
club l spade Pass Pass
Double Pass hearts Pass
2N.T. Pass Pass Pass
This deal was played in a
tournament. Mr.. Truck properly
considered his hand too strong
for one no trump and not strong
enough for two no trump bid.
He, therefore, started the auc-
tion with one club. If his partner
responded with one in any other
suit, he intended to jump the
bidding to show his big hand.
Over one diamond or one heart
he would rebid two no trump.
Over one spade he would raise to
three spades. A very convenient
and well-planned Sequence-ex-
cept that Mr.. New bid and Mr..
Masters passed.
Of course, Mr.. News overcall
was horrible, especially vulner-
able against non-vulnerable op-
ponentS. But it set up a tre-
mendous problem for his veteran
opponents. Mr.. Truck doubled,
asking his partner to bid. Think
ing Mr.. Truck was probably most
interested in the other major,
Mr.. Masters bid two hearts.
Since that was a forced bid,
Mr.. Truck could not be sure his
partner had any high card
strength at all. Two no trump
was certainly the best he could
do at this point.
AS for Mr.. Masters, he knew
his partner couldn't have all he
needed to make two no trump
bid all alone, else he would have
opened the bidding with two no
trump. Maybe Mr.. Truck need
ed as much as a king, a queen
and a jack to win eight tricks.
So Mr.. Masters passed.
The opening lead was the trey
of hearts which was covered with
the nine, the 10, and won in the
closed hand with the ace. Mr..
Truck lost a diamond trick and
three spades and made an easy
nine tricks.
At the other tables the West
players bid better than Mr.. New.
They passed the one club open
ing. And the bidding then pro-
gressed: One diamond by North,
two no trump by South and
three no trump by North. Game,
bid and made.
Sadly enough it is sometimes
the worst bids that bring the
bestxreSultS.

NEW YORK. June 29.-Harry

sidewalks of New York this
morning and between hand
shakes explained his fast-step-

I'm not a Showof walker" he

and exchanging greetings with

1t was a steamy morning and
Mr.. Truman doffed his Panama
near the end of the walk to mop
his brow. Back at the Waldorf
Astoria Hotel, where he is stay
ing, some of the neWsmen who
had accompanied him asked for
autographs.
This country is sure. going to
hell when photographers start
asking for autographs" Mr..
Truman grinned as he obliged.
Mr.. Truman and Mrs. Truman
are here for a vacation and visit
with their daughter Margaret.
Miss Truman, who got her
New York auto operators license
about 10 days ago. took her folks
for a drive yesterday.

The family had lunch at the
fashionable River Club. With
them were Daniel Longwell,
chairman of the Life Magazine

Although Truman is writing
his memoirs for Life and two
newspapers, they didn't talk
about that, Mr.. Truman said
later.
Yesterday the 69-year-old for
mer President took a 25-minute
walk and ended it a quarter to

by a Waldorf-Astoria security
officer and Matthew j. Connolly,

congressman who h ugh t
that Dwight Eisenhower was 60
ing to be passive President are
uneasily revising their views.
The Eisenhower report to the ma
ton on taxes and defense was
plainest evidence of new presi-
dental leadership.
Mr.. Eisenhower came to office
with a strong conviction that for
20 years the Executive had too
often sought to dominate Con-
gress. He leaned over backward
trying to avoid interfering with
the legislative branch.
He sought to exert president
ial leadership in genuine improve
ment Of the administrative side
of government. Many who have
criticized the president for not
exerting more spectacular leader
ship have overlooked the very
great changes he has set in mo-
ton in the executive branch.
But increasingly the President
has learned that he must have
the cooperation of Congress. He
is held chiefly responsible for his
administration, yet Congress can
wreck all his plans. Quickly it
became apparent that one group
in his own party was quite ready
to do just that. On the basic
question Of hating deficit-fos-
tered initiation some were de-
manding tax cuts ahead of bal
anced budget.
Finally the President saw he
would have to take it to the
people" That is precisely what
he did. He gave the people his
tax program before he formally
sent it to Congress. Very gener-
al popular approval of it appears
to have sweetened the congress-
ional response. The Ways and
Means Committee-which could
have blocked renewal of the ex-
cess profit tax-promptly prom
ised hearings on it.
The President rightly centered
first on cleaning up his own

We trust the initial success Of
this leadership will encourage the
President to exercise it in other
vital foreign policy matters. Fol
there is real danger that some
elements in Congress will impris.

servants who don't grab their
party line" Others are striv-
ing to smash the reciprocal trade
policy at a time when it is es-
pecially n e e d e d to substitute
trade for aid.
The President has a positive
position on all Of these issues.
But if grave damage to the ma
tion-and to his own position-is
to be avoided, he will have to ex-
ercise still more active leader
