Why We Soy

DEEP POCKET: This ex-
preston for q faithful friend
started in England, rather than
in the western part Of the United
States where it is frequently used.
A "kick" in England was a side
pocket. To pick-pockets the side
pocket was the hardest to I'M
load, thus giving rise to the use
of "Sidekick" as a trustworthy
friend.

tricks with her top club honorS.
Mrs. Keen discarded the deuce
of diamonds on the third trick.
It now appears that there are no
more tricks for the defenders.
But it was a little card in Mrs.
Keen's hopeless looking hand
that spelled defeat for Mr.. Dale.
At trick four Miss Brash led a
fourth round of clubs. A small
spade went on from dummy and
1t was up to Mrs. Keen. If Mr..
Muzzy had held the East hand
he might have reasoned, why
ruff this trick when I know Dale
can overruf?"
Mrs. Keen is not that kind Of
player. She has learned it is
automatic to ruff in this situa-
ton. In the first place. her
trumps we're worthless as far as
following suit to declarer's trump
leads we're concerned. She could
hardly expect to take a trick
with the seven spot.
1t was her duty, however. to
make Mr. Dale play a trump on
this trick in the hope such a
play would set up a trump win
ner in her partners hand. The
seven spot seemed a pitifully
hopeless effort in that direction
but, as YOU see, the result was
devastating.
Mr.. Dale had already lost
three tricks. He had to over
ruff with the jack or admit de-
feat then and there. After that.
in spite of the fact his hand and
dummy consisted Of practically
nothing but honor cards, he had
to- concede a trick to Miss
Brash's 10 Of hearts.
If Mrs. Keen had discarded or
ruffed with the deuce Of hearts
at trick four, Mr.. Dale would
have made game and rubber
without difficulty.

Bill to Insure Shop Bids
In Rebuilt S.W. Offered

A bill to guarantee business
men displaced from the South
west redevelopment area the
chance to buy land for new busi-
nesses in the rebuilt area has
been introduced by Chairman
Mcmillan of the House District
Committee.
The bill, as written, was
promptly criticized by District
Redevelopment Land Agency Of
ficials as being so stringent it
would "endanger chances of a
first-rate program"
John R. Searles, jr., RIA direc-
tor, said his agency has made
"every effort" to invite proposals
from local businessmen, in and
out of the Southwest. He said
several businessmen in the Area
B project submitted proposals
which are being negotiated for
the new area.
Evening star., 1955-05-26

The problem, however. is that
the most likely proposals have
called for the development Of viz
tually the entire area by single
investor.
Mr.. Searles said that if such
investors had to give up the
choicest pieces of land for buSi-
ness use, "the investors certain
ly would be scared off,"
Mr.. McMillan's bill said:
l. In selling or leasing any
property for business purposes
in accordance with an official
redevelopment plan - the RIA
should give preference to busi-
ness enterprises displaced. :"
2. A project areas land could
be sold or leased "as an entirety"
but in that event the buyer would
have to "give such displaced busi-
ness enterprise an opportunity to
purchase any building erected in
the area"
