clubs for his opening lead. With
practically no hesitation, Mr..
Masters played low from dummy
and went right on up with the
ace in his own hand. This
seeming extravaganza was &C
tually the ultimate in con-
servatism. In fact it was the
only play to assure the success
Of the contract.
Mr.. Masters knew that he
could take just two club tricks.
What difference if he won the
first and second-or the first
and third leads Of the suit? The
point was that he had to un-
block the ace of clubs to make
certain of a club entry to dummy.
He needed that entry to bring
in the long diamond suit after
1t was set up.
His method of playing the
clubs left the queen and jack on
the board and two little clubs
in the closed hand. With this
eet-up the defenders could not
keep him out Of dummy unless
they had two kings of clubs.
At the second trick Mr.. Masters
led the singleton diamond to
dummy's king. He followed with
the ace of diamonds, discarding
q small spade from his own hand.
The ten of diamonds was led
next and Mr.. Abel won with
the queen. Mr.. Masters dropped
the trey of hearts and Mr..
Meek parted with the trey Of
clubs.
The jack of spades was re-
turned, covered by the king
and won by Mr.. Meek with the
ace. Mr.. Meek cashed the queen
of spades and led a third round
of the suit.
Mr.. Masters won this trick
with the eight of spades, dis
carding the seven of hearts from
the board. Then he led a small
club and Mr.. Meek won with
the king and desperately fired
q heart. But Mr.. Masters took
the ace of hearts and led a
club to dummy where all the
rest of the cards were good.

New Senate Bill Asks
Tax Break 10 Parents
With Foster Children

Three new bills to deal with
juvenile delinquency were intro
duced in the Senate today by
members Of the judiciary Com
mittee. They would:
/. Provide for the waiver to
State authorities of juveniles
who violate both Federal and
State laws.
2. Allow foster parents to
claim an income tax exemption
for foster children to encourage
more families to take in older
children needing homes.
8. Restrict the passage of un-
accompanied juveniles across
national borders; SO that this
country may cooperate with
Mexico in protecting minors
from vice conditions near the
border.
The bills were sponsored by
Senators Kefauver of Tennessee
and Hennings of Missouri, Dem
ocrats, and LANCER, North Da-
kota, Republican.
Kefauver Explains Reasons.
In advocating State jurisdic-
ton over juvenile offenders.
Senator Kefauver said welfare
authorities agree that a delin-
quent child is most effectively
rehabilitated when he can be
kept close to his own COM
munity. The Senator said it is
almost impossible for a juve-
nile to commit Federal offense
without at the same time vio-
lating a State or local ordinance.
In this connection, the Ten
nessee Senator calls it inefficient
to transport a youngster from a
State hundreds of miles away to
the National Training School for
Boys here in Washington. Such
procedure also involves an un-
necessary and unproductive ex-
penditure of Federal funds"
Senator Kefauver recalled that
q bill has been introduced re-
Gently to assist States and To-
calities in improving their pro-
grams for rehabilitating young
sters in trouble. He said that is
q more effective way for the
Federal Government to help in
solving the delinquency problem.

Regarding the tax exemption
for foster parents, Senator Ke-
fauver said it is not too hard to
find homes for infants, but that

Joint Senate House Committee
On CNiiDefense Urged by Bill

Creation of a new joint House
Senate committee on civil de-
tense problems was proposed in
a resolution offered in the Sem
ate today by Senators Hum
phrey of Minnesota and SYM
ington of Missouri, Democrats.
There is no more vital func-
ton being performed by our
Government today than that of
civil defense" said Senator
Humphrey. Yet. I must say
that very few subjects of such
great Importance receive as little
attention by the Congress. This
is nobody's fault. It is more the
reflection of our organization
There is no committee of the
Congress with the clear author
ity or with the staff and pri-
mary responsibility to help guide
and lead the Congress on this
problem"
Senator Humphrey said the

able.
The proposed new committee
would consist of seven Senators

the plight of the homeless child
of school age is often tragic.
He said the family taking in one
of these older-problem children
is undertaking a difficult TASK.
Discussing the border problem,
Senator Kefauver said the Mexi-
can government has taken laud-
able steps to deal with vice
conditions along the border by
prohibiting the entry of un-
escorted youngsters into that
country. The Senator said the
United States has not yet passed
such legislation.

Safety Council Notes

"Nows the time to have your
car safety checked"
Mrs. William N. Cam, vice presi-
dent for home safety of the Della
ware Safety Council gave this ad-
vice to Delaware women today as
she urged them to support the cur
rent vehicle safety check program
Official and non-official groups are
backing this program which is be-
ing conducted in cooperation with
the National Safety Council and
the Inter-Industry Highway Safety
Committee.
All homemakers endorse this
program for two reasons, she said.
The first is that a safety check
of the family car will reduce the
chances of any member of the
family being involved in a traffic
accident. The second reason is that
it is more economical to repair a
car when trouble is just starting
than it is after the damage has
become more extensive.
"All of u.s., Mrs. Cam said. "are
interested in our family's safety
and pocketbook. So we ought to see
to it that the family car gets a
thorough check during May"
Women who drive, she said can
take the car in for a check them
selves. Those who do not drive
can urge some member of the
family to perform this important
duty.
"If all the women in the com
munity give the vehicle safety check
program their active support" she
said, there will be few unsafe cars
on our streets when the program
is over"

Spray Pines In May
To Curb Tip Blight

Now, just as new shoots or pale
green candles of new growth are
appearing, is the time to protect
pines against the damaging pine
tip blight. Caused by fungus, tip
blight can so disfigure a tree that
its beauty is gone and it must be
replaced. Red. Austrian, Scotch
and mugho pines are commonly af-
fected, white pines occasionally.
Don Cantwell, manager of the
Bartlett Tree Expert Company,
recommends spraying with fernate,
fungicide, thoroughly covering
the new growth. Repeat the spray
two weeks later, and if spring is
wet a third spray may be requir
ed. Also prune out and burn dead
and diseased twigs on which the
fungus has OVerwintered.
