All pass
OF course there are times
when partner will hate you be-
cause you do clear the trump
suit at your first opportunity.
There are a number of situa-
tons where declarer must post
pone leading trumps, and to-
days hand illustrates one Of
them - the case where the
trumps in dummy must be pre-
served as vital entries.
Mr.. Meek led the jack of
hearts, dummy's four went on
and Mr.. Abel played the seven.
Mr.. Muzzy won with the ace
of hearts and promptly cashed
the ace Of spades. Then, realiz-
ing suddenly that he was going
to have to do something about
setting up dummy's diamonds,
he switched to the deuce Of that
suit.
Mr.. Meek ducked and dunn
my'S queen won. There was no
way for Mr.. Muzzy to know
that the ace was now alone on
his left and he faced the prob
lem Of returning to his hand
: for another diamond lead.
If he led to the ace of clubs
he would set up a club loser,
and that. with two heart losers
and the ace Of diamonds, would
put him down a trick. So he
came to his hand with the queen
of spades and led his last dia-
mond.
Mr.. Meek won and returned
the 10 Of hearts. This won and
another heart went to Mr..
Abel's king. A club was re-
turned and Mr.. Muzzy won with
the ace. Now he led spade to
dummy's king and cashed the
king of diamonds, sluffing q
club. But the diamonds failed
to break and down he went.
Mr.. MuzZy should have led
a diamond at trick two. Mr..
Meek would duck and the queen
would win. Now a small spade
to the ace and another diamond
lead. Mr.. Meek would win and,
as before. the defender would
cash two hearts and follow with
a club lead.
But now Mr.. Muzzy would
have the hand made. He could
win with the ace Of clubs and
lead the nine of spades to
dummy'S king. When the 10
dropped the rest Of the play
would fall neatly into place. He
could return a small diamond
and ruff it high.
Next the four Of spades to
dummy's eight would permit the
cashing of two good diamonds
and the discarding of both los
ing clubs from the closed hand.

New Benefits Under Social Security

Widows, wives, and retired women workers who have reach ed the age of 62 may now file application for their Social Se- curity benefits, it was announc- ed by Everell Cummins, Anchor age representative of the Social Security Administration.
 Benefit rights for women at age 62 are part of the 1856 am endments to the Social Security Act, recently passed by Congress and signed into law by the President August l.
 Widows whose husbands were covered under Social Security will no longer need to wait un- til age 65 to draw their monthly benefits. Wives of retired work CTS and women who have become insured under Social Security also may choose to start getting benefit payments at age 62. However, they would, receive a higher monthly benefit by wait ing until age 65.
 Other new features in the Am- ended Act provide coyerage for dentists and lawyers retroactive to January l, 1856. Also, pay ments will be made to some dis abled workers at age 50, start ing in July 1857. To finance the changes, the law provides for a raise of the Social Security FICA) tax rate beginning Janu- ary l, 1857 Both the employer and employee share of the tax will raise to 214ad. The present rate is go each.
 Farmers may now elect Social Security eoverage if they wish, based on tWo-thirds gross, includ- ing up to $500. With net pro.

Important Assignment

The $4,000 volunteers of the United
GiverS Fund Metropolitan Unit are en-
gagged in firing but important mission.
1t is their task to make sure that every
citizen in the Washington Metropolitan
Area has an opportunity to contribute to
the success of the areas first venture
under the united fund" plan. These
public-Spirited campaign workers have
famed out over the city and it's suburbs
In houSe-to-houSe canvass that is a
vital supplement to the solicitations being
conducted by other UGF units in public
and private offices.
Inevitably there will be some dupli-
cation OF effort by the downtown squad
rons and those charged with covering
residential communities. But house
holders should not regard such duplica-
ton, when it occurs, as pressure for
double donations. The home canvassers
have been instructed to thank house
holders who say that their husbands or
other members of the family have made
their gifts through Office channels. But.
even though the family prefers to sub
scribe through the governmental or busi-
ness units, there always is possibility
that someone else in the houSe-a roomer
perhapS-would like chance to contrib
ute. And not all the houses visited have
families that are participating in united
giving through governmental or business
chapter" plans.
1t is essential, therefore, that every
house be visited during the current
critical ampaign-critical because the
future OF single-package fund raising in
Washington is at stake. Every household
should welcome the Metropolitan Unit
solicitor as friend and neighbor who is
Sacrif1cing time and energy in cause
that everyone should want to promote.
With that cooperative spirit prevailing
the UGF drive should have no difficulty
In attaining its $6.6-million goal.

To SchooI-or Else!

Two hours in jail and the loss of
custody OF her Seven-year-old daughter
have turned the trick. Mrs. Mary l..
Schoenheit, of Centertown, Missouri. is
sending little Mary back to public school.
Mrs. Schoenheit has an aversion to
compulsory public school attendance,
and she came into the news last week
when she said she was going to educate
her daughter at home because the public
schools turn children into trained seals"
1t seems, however, that she under
estimated the force and majesty of the
public school law in Missouri. Her argu-
ment was that she, as a former school
teacher in Illinois, could comply with
Missouri law by giving her daughter home
instruction substantially equal to that in
the public schools of Centertown But the
superintendent of schools said no-Mrs.
Schoenheit didn't have Missouri
teachers certificate. And the local mag
iStrate, brushing aside all that nonsense
about presumption of innocence, said
she would have to prove to him" that
little Mary was getting substantially equal
instruction.
The upshot was that Mrs. Schoenheit
was adjudged guilty of violating the law.
She was ordered to jail for 10 days and
little Mary was turned over to the county
welfare board. That did it, After two
hours in jail, Mrs. Schoenheit backed
down, and the daughter will go to public
school after all. This, no doubt, is a
triumph for law, order and compulsory
education. But Mrs. Schoenheit may not
have lost on all counts. One Of her COM
plants was that the schools have an
"inhuman passion for uniformity" Who
can say she has not proved that point?

Not His Last Word

President Eisenhower announced
week ago that he had said his last word"
on the H-bomb testing controversy. But
now he has changed his mind, and is
marshaling his forces for one more verbal
assault on the works from which Adlai
Stevenson has been blasting away.
We think this decision is wise, both
for political and nonpolitical reasons.
If there is an effective answer to Mr..
Stevenson's Chicago speech, the political
desirability of making it is obvious This
Is hardly an issue, standing alone, on
which the Democratic candidate can hope
to win the election. But his proposals
have certain popular appeal and he has
received some respectable scientific sup
port for them. Undoubtedly, in the abb
Sence OF an effective answer from the
President, the Stevenson stand would
attract votes.
There is nonpolitical side to this
matter, however, which is also important.
Our feeling is that the public, as things
stand, is hopeleSsly confused. Is man.
kind really faced with serious threat
from radioactive fallout if the tests con-
tinue? Respected scientists are in sharp
disagreement on this point, and we do
not suppose that either Mr.. Stevenson or
the President can give definitive answer.
But we hope that the statement which
Mr.. Eisenhower promises for next week
will be as specific as possible on this point.
II we should stop our tests and then
should discover that the Russians had
broken faith, would there be a time
before we could resume testing that would
endanger our security? A rather definite
answer should be possible. At least we
can be told whether 1t would take eight
weeks, as Mr.. Stevenson says, or whether
much longer period would be required,
as others contend. Finally, what is the
status of our testing program? Are we
through trying to make bigger bombs, as
the President has minated? And is
there any need to repeat the ''big" test
or tests which have already been made?
It seems to us that in terms of real
Importance the answers to such questions,
answers as factual as it is possible to
make them, rise above the -and-take
OF the closing weeks of political cam
paign They are, or should be, nonpoliti-
cal in the sense that they will bear
directly on the welfare of the human race
for years to come. Therefore, we are glad
that the President has decided to say
another word on this subject, and we
hope that he will clay it on the line" to
the very limits of security considerations.

Safeguards for Art

Citizens Of Florence, Italy, are under
standably concerned over hazards which
might endanger priceless Italian art
masterpieces during their forthcoming
trip to America for exhibition here and
in New York City. 1t would be universal
tragedy, indeed, II harm should befall
any of the 40 world-famous 18th and 10th
century works to be displayed at the
National Gallery of Art next month and
at New FORKS Metropolitan Museum early
next year.
But, judging from the careful safe
guards which Italian and American
authorities have planned for the touring
art exhibit, the Florentines have no real
reason to worry. The treasures will be
put in zinc-lined crates. guarded with
care at all times and shipped to this
country aboard a vessel Of the Military
Sea Transport Service. And. of course,
they will be insured against accidents and
perils Of all kinds.

New Age for Britain

Queen Elizabeth has just thrown a
switch that has opened up what BritonS
rightly regard as a new age for their
country. For the switch has poured into
their national electricity grid the worlds
first large-Scale output of industrial
atomic power
This historic event has taken place
at Cumberland, in northwestern England,
and it marks the beginning of a great
development of peacetime nuclear power
for the British. 1t has happened at the
Calder Hall atomic project. The Queens
action has put to work only a small part
of the projects electricity producing po-
tential, but by the end of the year the
reactors located there will have an active
generating capacity of close to 100000
kilowatts.
Unlike our plant at Shippingport,
which will become operable next year in
the Pittsburgh area as the worlds first
big atomic station designed exclusively
for civilian use, the Calder Hall develop
ment is dual-purpoSe enterprise. Its
chief function is to produce plutonium
for Britain'S weapons program; its output
of nonmilitary industrial power is more
or less by-product. In that sense, the
British themselves describe it as being
uneconomic in terms of competing with
conventional generating stations using
coal, oil, gas or falling water. But it
ilonetheless constitutes highly signih-
cant step forward.
This is SO because Calder Hall, al
though its function is primarily military,
is unique in that it will not merely gen.
crate significant amount of civilian
power but will also be of great value in
helping Britain to do an efficient Job in
carrying out its plan to build no fewer
than IL atomic plants designed exclu-
sively to produce electricity on an eco
nomic or commercial basis. The first of
these plants, all of which are scheduled
to be completed by 1865, will follow the
Calder Hall pattern with some variations,
but the rest of them will be more adj
vanced and hence more likely to compete
on an equal footing with conventional
installations.
In all of this, Britain has very great
driving incentive. For 1t is a country

sources Of conventional energy-that has
only dwindling coal supply and almost
no oil or hydroelectric resources. Yet it
must reckon with the fact that its con-
stantly rising industrial production will
require an increase in power output OF
about 40 per cent over the next is years.
Accordingly, along with other nations
similarly situated, it must lose no time
in Harvesting the atom TO meet its nom
military needs.
SO the new peacetime electrical out
put Of the dual-purpose Calder Hall prof.
ect represents a development full Of
bright promise for the British. They have
reason to be encouraged. II all goes well
with their plans, they will have no need
to worry about the industrial power they
must have in the future to prosper and
live.

Civil Rights Issue

So the great absentee artist,
defender of his peoples cause,
has finally turned his coat for
all to see. I refer to Represent
alive Adam Clayton Powell,
who last year GRATED for a
walkout by all Negroes
throughout the Nation in an
other attempt to grab the
spotlight.
His act, the actions of
Southern and Northern Demo-
Gratis in the whole area of civil
rights alone, firms up nv
growing belief that the best
thing for minorities (if Ike
is elected) would be the elec-
ton OF an overwhelming ma
Jority of Republican legislators
in Congress this fall.
Thus Ike, and the Republic
cans under Ike who claim that
they are the new saviors of
our minorities, can more eff
tectively be made to put up
or shut up. And cloture-loving
Democrats can truthfully say
that their hands were truly
tied.
