In today's hand Mrs. Keen
had only eight winners in sight.
She had three chances for her
ninth trick-developing long
diamond In dummy. developing
a long heart in her hand. or
finding one of the outstanding
club honors in Miss Brash's
hand.
Wisely, she refrained from pin
ming all her hopes on any single
one of these chances. Without
undue risk she tried all three Of
them and it was no more than
right that one worked out favor
ably to give her the contract.
When Mr.. Abel led the jack Of
spades. Mrs. Keen felt sure he
was leading from a suit headed
by K, j, 10. However. she
played low from dummy just in
case Miss Brash did have the
singleton king.
Winning in her own hand with
the ace. she saw she had one
club trick. two diamonds. three
hearts and the ace of spades.
Since Mr.. Abel had overcalled
In spades, surely a second trick
could be won in that suit by
leading up to dummy's queen.
At trick two Mrs. Keen led a
diamond and put in the nine
from the board. Miss Brash
won with the jack and returned
the four of clubs. Mrs. Keen
ducked and Mr.. Abel won with
the queen. He cashed the king
of spades and followed with the
Jack, hoping he might still have
an entry in his king Of clubs.
Now if the hearts broke 3-3,
II the diamonds broke 3-3, or
II Miss Brash held the king Of
clubs. Mrs. Keen would make
her contract. She won on the
board with the queen of spades
and started the heart suit.
When the hearts broke evenly
the contract was home.
If the hearts had failed to
break. Mrs. Keen would then
have tried diamonds. And II
that suit failed to split, she had
the second club finesse available
as last resort.
In case Mr.. Abel showed out
on the third lead of both red
suits there was also the chance
for and end-play. throwing him
In the lead with a spade for
an eventual club return up to

to separate. Our separation is
entirely friendly and any pub

The decision was made public

eral service since September,
1850, have been denied perma-
nent status as a result Of the
rider. Even though they have
passed civil service exams, the
best they could get was an in
definite status.
Recent events indicate the
rider will be repealed. The Sen
ate Civil Service Committee
within the next week or so Is
expected to approve the fringe
benefits bill. which among other
things provide for repeal Of the
Written rider.
Chairman Rees Of the House
Civil Service Committee has an
nounced he favors repeal Of the
rider and that his committee will
act on it soon.
End of Need Cited.
During the past week, Repre-
sentative Mccormack of Massa-
chusetts, the House Democratic
whip, and Chairman Carlson of
the Senate Civil Service Com
mittee, have pointed out that
the end of the Korean war wiped
out the necessity of the Written
rider. The rider was enacted
originally to cut down the num-
Der of promotions and perma-
nent appointments that always
occur during wartime periods.
The Civil Service Commission
has promised that as soon as the
rider is repealed, it will take
steps toward converting many
indefinite employees who passed
civil service exams to permanent
status.
Study Procedure.
The csc Is now working on
plans for conversion as soon as
the Written rider is repealed.
Still to be settled is whether all
indefinites who passed civil
service tests should be automati-
cally granted permanent status
or once. or whether the CONVEX
sion should be on a gradual
basis determined by the needs Of
each agency.
/ The CSC has been urged by
non-veteran career employees not
! to provide for a mass conversion
of all indefinite employees in this
category. These non-veterans
say that this would automatically
give the converted indefinites
who are not veterans. job priority
rights over them in any future
reduction-in-force programs.
/ On the other hand, the indefi-
mite employees say that had it not
been for the Written rider. they
would have received permanent
status a long time ago.

Meeting 10 Discuss
Uniform Charges
In Traffic Cases

Magistrates who decide how
much money motorists must put
up awaiting trial in Prince
Georges County, will confer this
week on a system Of uniform
charges.
Hyattsville Judge Theodore L.
Manga arranged last night for
the meeting to be held Friday
night in the Hyattsville County
Service Building.
s A dispute has been brewing in
Prince Georges over the way one
Justice of the peace charges diff
ferently from another for the
same offense. Judge Manga and
the county States attorney agree
that the plan. to be fair, must
permit the justices of the peace
to decide the severity of the Of
tense.
For Same OffenSe.
The committing magistrates
also set bond or collateral for
some criminal offenSes. But this
dispute arose over the different
collateral charges against motor
lists hauled in for the same Of
fenSe-at the same place-driv-
ing on the shoulder Of the road.
Some were required to post less
than Sc while the other. brought
before a different justice of the
peace, had to put up almost $12.
The county's Association of
Town Police voted to have the
States attorney take action to
make the sums uniform.
The county prosecutor. Carlyle
j. Lancaster, told The Star. II
don't know of any way to write
a Just standard list"
1t would not be fair to assess
the same sum of money for two
motorists, one charged on tech
nical count while the other was
obviously at fault. the judge and
prosecutor agreed.
Suggests Special Law.
The suggestion has been made
that the General Assembly en-
act a law requiring justices of
the peace to assess arrested per-
sons a specific sum for a specific
charge.
Judge Manga pointed out that
this law is in effect now except
that it permits a committing
magistrate some latitude in de-
Gliding precisely what bond or
collateral to impose.
No matter what standard is
decided upon, he added, some
person will have to decide how
serious any particular offense is.

itself out Saturday after leav-
ing at least five dead and a
broad trail of smashed communi-
cations and power lines.
The storm that raked the
Great Plains Friday, moved east
ward across the Midwest and was
heading northeastward up the
st. Lawrence River valley. losing
intensity along the way.
The storm changed largely
from blizzard and gale winds to
damaging sleet in its eastward
movement, and Iowa and South
Dakota were hard hit.
In Iowa, where damage to tele-
phone lines was estimated at a
half million dollars, at least $50
towns were without outside COM
munication. Approximately 5000
rural telephones were out of serv-
ice and $500 of 1000 toll cir
cults were knocked out.
Iowa Hard Hit.
Several Iowa towns suffered
q complete power failure as ice
covered wires snapped under the
whipping winds.

storm we've had in the last
or 10 years." a spokesman for
the Iowa Power Service Co,
said.
Some $500 telephone repair
men from Iowa. Illinois, Mime
sofa. Wisconsin and Kansas
were rushed into Iowa to speed
repairs.
The sleet storm felled 500
poles and caused 5000 wire
breaks in southeastern South
Dakota.
The snow or sleet covered
roads were blamed for two
traffic deaths in Kansas, two
others in Illinois and one in
Iowa.
Many States east of the
Rockies were digging out Sat-
urday from heavy snow drifts.
Snow drifts up to seven feet
high lowered over highways in
Colorado. but rotary plows were
making fast progress in break
ing through. All Minnesota
roads were open after an eight
inch snowfall. The snow meas
ured from 6 to l6 inches in
South Dakota. and up to 10
inches in western Nebraska.
Motorists Stranded.
In its parting blow, the storm
sent clouds of dust stripped from
Texas top soil sailing as far
eastward as central Illinois.
Howling winds and blowing snow
cut ferry service at Michigans
Straits of Mackinac.
Snow measured up to II inches
at Crystal Falls. Mich. in the
upper peninsula. At Forester. on
