amount to about four months
pay at the increased rates. The

depending on what date ir

his eagerness to find out for him

reasons" for his visit to the State
Then he came out with these
remarks:

my own thought is: They
should ask how long is it going
to take Gov. Adams to finish ur
his series of lectures on New

That touched off a roar Of ap-
Iplause and there were whoops OF
approval from the crowd, which
actually was attending an out
door session of the New Hamp-
shire Legislature.
Had Asked Moratorium
Early this year Mr.. Eisenhower
proposed a 12-month moratorium
on questions about his 1856
plans.
So it came as a major surprise
when for the first time in public
he brought up the second term

Cafe Brulat
Highlight of the occasion
was the making of the "cafe

coffee and flaming spiced
brandy that is a holiday favor

honors was Mr.. Robert Hunter,
administrative assistant to
Louisiana senator Russell

SAM RAYBURN will be all
up in the air again because Of
D. D. Eisenhower. In fact. the
President is the only man who
has ever gotten the Speaker of
the House up in the air. Z.
Mr.. Rayburn in more allergic
to air travel than he is to
Republicans. but he is flying
up from Texas for the meeting
of legislative leaders summoned
here tomorrow by the Presi-
dent.
The only other two times
Sam has flown, Ike was the
reason, more or less. The last
time was when Gen. Eisen-
hover agreed to 60 to his birth
place, Denison. Tex. with Mr..
Rayburn after the war, pro-
viding they went by plane.
Sans initial fight was during
the war which was indirectly
connected with a fellow named
Ike.
Speaking of the Speaker,
invitations to the Dale Millers'
annual party in honor of Sam
and his birthdate are out.
What with eulogieS from the
floor of the House and any
number of parties, the Speak
er's birthday gets more atten-
ton every year than any else's

/. USE CLICHES. Always
speak Of your heroine as having
"a slim young body" Describe
her as being "starry-eyed. "
Crowd your pages with such ex-

took it in stride: kiddies; she

2. USE BAD GRAMMAR.
You'll never get anywhere as a

about it; (c) please, darling, let's

This is far from the truth.
Actually, many Of them have just
come from their banks and they
can be observed handing out
supper money to seedy-looking
characters on street corners. the
characters referred to are the
ones who did lead trumps-put
ut the wrong time.
Owing to o vexing section Of
the rules, when you lead out the
opponents trumps you are re-
ouired to follow suit from the
dummy. The question to decide
is: DO dummy's trumps have
some special usefulness which
makes It wise to postpone lead
ing trumps at all?
How many tricks can Mr..
Champion win ct his four heart
contract If he leads trumps At
his first opportunity?
Mr.. Meek opened the king Of
clubs and dummy's ace won.
Now suppose three rounds OF
trumps are taken Immediately.
ending with the king on the
board.
A diamond could be led next.
messing the jack. Mr.. Meek
would win this trick with the
king of diamonds and then lead
clubs until Mr.. Champion ruffed.
At this point two tricks have
been lost and the defenders VIII
still get q diamond and . spade.
Too bad, because II dummy could
be reached, o second diamond
finesse would bring in the bal
ance of the suit without loss.
OF course, Mr.. Champion didn't
play the hand that way. He re-
allied that to give himself the
best chance Of holding his dia-
Ynond losers to one, he had to
lead that suit twice from dummy.
Therefore the leading Of tFumps
had to be postponed because the
king Of trumps represented that
vital second entry to the board.
After winning the first trick
with dummy's ace Of clubs ne.
took q diamond finesse at once.
Mr.. Meek won, cashed a club ana
led another club which Mr..
Champion ruffed. Now he cashed
the ace of hearts, the queen OF
hearts and led q third heart TO
dummy's king.
Next came q diamond lead and
the finesse was successful. The
ace dropped Mrs. Keen's queen
and the hand was spread for
four-odd.
This is q simple example OF
the use Of dummy's trumps as
entries. Watch for some more
complicated varieties In future
columns.
