You do not necessarily take
the same action you would have
taken If second hand had passed.
For one thing, you don't have
to strain to keep the bidding
open" for your partner. The
overcall itself has given him a
chance to rebid If he wishes to
do so. Any bid you make after
the overcall is a "free" bid, made
because you have (or should
have) certain definite values.
There are four general types
Of hands you can have in this
situation. The, first Is where
you have a good fit in your
partners suit. With four or more
Of his trumps, you don't need
50 much in high cards. You
know the hand Is not a misfit
and there is little chance Of get
ting into serious trouble. You
may give single raise with
about a trick and half In high
cards.
This action has the advantage
Of possibly shutting fourth hand
out Of the bidding and Of laying
the groundwork for a paying
sacrifice bid by your partner
later on.
Remember, the less you have
In partners suit the more you
need in high cards over all.
Lacking adequate trump sup
port for partner, your next weak
est free bid is where you nave
q suit Of your own which you
can bid at the level Of one.
If your suit must be bid at
the two level it is better to pass
unless you have a pretty fair
hve-card suit and at least an
average hand in high cards.
And If your free bid at the two
level will make partner go to.
the three range just to rebid his
suit, you should have a really
good hand-at least the equal
Of an opening bid. This would
come up when partner opened
with a heart, the next hand bid
two diamonds and you bid two
spades. @ SO
Mrs. Keen's hand in today's
deal represents Just about the
minimum for a free raise Of
partners suit. Therefore she
dropped Mr.. Dale's bid of three
hearts and he made exactly nine
tricks, losing two spades and
two diamonds.

Despite Distorted Press Reports
Negro Group Leave Office Of Governor By

By PERCY GREENE

The meeting Of group of Negro
leaders with Governor White, and
other state officials in his office
in the state Capitol here last We'd
nesday afternoon has aroused dis
cussion and comment from Negro
Citizens in all walks of life
throughout the state.
In spite of the distorted press
reports and comment in regard to
the meeting repo"'s reaching the
office of the jackson Advocate, by
telephone and by letter, from re-
sponsible and well informed sour
ces from all sections of the state
indicate that vast majority of the
Negro Citizens Of the state stand
squarely behind the efforts of the
group in the meeting last Wednes-
day to bring about meetings of the
White leaders and Negro leaders
for discussion and working to-
gether to solve the problems Of the
state.
The primary purpose Of the
meeting, held without the presence
of newspaper reporters, was to dis
cuss a possible meeting to be called
by the Governor, to which list OF
more than 75 we'll known and
prominent Negro Citizens and lead
ers of the state would be invited,
regardless of their views and opin-
ions in regard to current issues
confronting the people Of the State.
There can be no doubt that con-
siderable resentment was aroused
against the Negro group attending
the meeting when the first vastly
distorted reports in the daily pa
pers, including Associated Press re-
ports, radio and television news re-
ports gave the impression that q
group of Negroes, "preferring to
remain anonymous, had slipped
