.'PortioIity

Incompatible

LOS ANGELES - (ANP) -
Gov. G. Monnen Williams of Mich

week that discrimination of any
kind against any citizen is time
bomb placed in the hands OF A.
merica's enemies.
Williams said discrimination is
repugnant to democracy. It gen.
crates friction and resentments
which gravely damage the unity of
our people.
"The denial of equal opportuni-
ty to racial, nationality and religi-
GUS groups plays directly into the
hands of those who would destroy

Williams spoke at an affair CIV

Golden State auditorium. He
pointed out that in every commun-

Of our citizens are not permitted
to live for no other reason than
their color, their nationality or
their religion.
There are schools their child

decision"
The democratic governor, who
has been mentioned as possible
presidential candidate, offered a
four-point program to eliminate
discrimination:
/. Abolish all distinctions be-
tween naturalized citizens and A.

Tighten Up
On Traffic
On Narcotics

The Senate has passed one bill
and the House is considering an
other directed at traffic in mar
cotics. Senator Price Daniel,
speaking Of the former, calls il
''the strongest blow against the
cancerous narcotics traffic that
has ever been passed"
Certainly there are features in
both measures that promise aid
to law-enforcement agencies in
attacking this scourge. For one
thing, the bills recognize the
especial menace Of heroin. This
derivative of morphine is said to
account for over nine-tenths of
drug addiction in the underworld
and is large factor in juvenile
delinquency. In recent years
heroin has been rarely prescribed
medically. It's manufacture in
and import into the United States
are already forbidden by law.
To outlaw its possession under
any circumstances Except under
permit for research), as does the
Senate measure, should greatly
aid police and narcotics agents in
their war against the menace. BY
setting stiff penalties for use of
mails, telephones, etc. incident
| to the drug traffic the Senate has
I given society another weapon
while wisely avoiding the dangers
inherent in the sanctioned wire
tap.
The severe sentences pre-
scribed by both bills for convicted
tfaffickers (up to death by the
Senate, to 40 years by the House,
show how strongly the lawmakers
feel on the subject. But designa-
ton Of heavy punishment always
calls for admonition as to its eff
ficacy. Too many assume that
merely upping the punishment
deters the criminal.
Actually, extreme penalties
often make courts and juries
hesitant to convict. 1t is the
high probability of arrest, trial,
some significant punishment, not
just the degree of punishment,
that makes the would-be offender
pause.

The idea. then, is tostime your
play in such a manner as to give
the enemy every possible chance
to go wrong
Today's contract of six no.
trump was a reasonable one.
There were three spade tricks
and four diamond tricks off the
top. There were also three heart
tricks available, after the ace
was knocked out. Therefore the
only thing necessary to bring
home IL tricks was a successful
club f1nesse.
Mrs. Keen led the jack of
spades and Mr.. Dale won with
dummy's ace and promptly led
the Jack of hearts from the
board. This looked like the start
of a finesse to Mr.. Abel. If his
partner had the queen of hearts,
he certainly wanted her to win
with it. Assuming the most in
nocent expression at his COM
mand, he followed suit with the
deuce.
The Jack held and Mr.. Dale.
timing his play perfectly, now
pulled the deuce of clubs from
dummy and finessed the jack.
If this had won he would have
shifted back to hearts and moth
ing could have prevented him
from making his contract.
AS it was the flnesse lost to
Mrs. KeenS king. But there was
still chance-a good chance.
Mrs. Keen did not know what to
return. AS she thought about it
Mr.. Abel died a thousand deaths
and bitterly regretted his show
of innocence at trick two.
Finally Mrs. Keen came out
with a diamond and Mr., Dale
spread the hand for II tricks
Note that it was necessary to get
one heart trick home before
touching clubs. If the club fl
nesse had been taken at trick
two, Mrs. Keen would not have
had to return heart to beat the
hand.
She could have returned any
thing because Mr.. Dale simply
would not have had II tricks.
He would have had four clubs.
four diamonds and three spades
a total of IL. Getting the heart
trick first and then shifting to
clubs was the key to the decep-
tion-and the contract.
