cashed the ace and queen of
spades. then paused to consider
his next action.
He could make his contract by
going to dummy and leading a
diamond, provided Mr.. Dale had
the ace or queen Of that suit and
he could guess which. He also
could make it by picking up the
last trump. flnessing the jack
of clubs and throwing a diamond
on the third round of clubs
provided Mrs. Keen had the
queen. Which finesse should he
take?
Well. either flnesse was no
better than a $3.50 shot. Mr..
Champion is an expert player.
He didn't f1nesSe at all. He went
for a play that gave him more
than an even chance.
His plan was to abandon
trumps at this point to save one
extra entry to dummy. He
would then cash dummy's two
top clubs. ruff two clubs in his
own hand. If necessary, and set
UP the fifth club for a diamond
discard.
This could be accomplished if
the clubs were no worse than

the party-which is unlikely
could keep Mr.. Ishibashi from
becoming prime minister. The

elects the government chief.
Eventual Strife Seen
Mr.. Ishibashi defeated Nobu-
Suke KiShi. the party secretary
general, 258-25l, on the conven-
tons second ballot. Some OBJ

gin might signal eventual strife
within the party.

to seek a rapid expansion of ia

his Ministry of International

Attorneys John M. Neff, Lex

today pleaded guilty to violating
the Lobbying Act.
Federal Judge Joseph c. Nc
Garraghy gave Neff and Patman
suspended sentences of one year
in prison and placed them on
probation for that length of
time. The men also were fined
$4,000 each. The company was
fined a total of $4,000. The
sentences were imposed in United
States District Court.
Other Charges Dropped
The Government dropped adj
ditional charges against Neh and
Patman accusing them OF at
tempting to influence the vote
of Senator Case, Republican of
South Dakota. last year in favor
of the then pending natural gas
bill by offering him a $500
campaign contribution.
The charge Of attempting to
influence the Senator, which was
dropped, is felony. The lobby
ing violation to which the attor-
neys and the company pleaded
guilty is a misdemeanor.
Justice Department attorney
William Paisley, representing the
Government, told reporters that
the more serious charges were
dropped because the Government
was satisfied with pleas to the

Missile Project
If Russians Do
New Disarmament
Policy Modifies
Inspections Stand
BY EARL H. vOSS

The United States is prepared
to stop development of its long
range missiles if the Soviet Union
does and if a satisfactory inspec-
ton system can be agreed on.
This is the most striking of
several reviSions in American
disarmament policy which have
been worked out by the Defense,
State and other departments and
approved by President Eisen-
hover.
The new American position is
expected to be laid before the
Soviet Union early next year,
when disarmament discussions
among United States, Soviet,
British, French and Canadian
officials are resumed under the
sponsorship of the United Ma
tions.
Inspection Stand Modified
The administration has also
modified its policies on disarm-
Iament inspection, previously the
most rigid part of the United
States program.
United States negotiatorS no
longer will insist on a full inspec-
ton system. completely installed,
as a precondition of any arms
reduction. They are prepared to
go ahead with a limited inspec-
ton system if a limited reduc-
ton in arms can be agreed upon.
New impetus to United States
efforts to reach a disarmament
agreement with the Soviet Union
has been provided by these con-
siderations:
First. the grim outlook for
the next 10 years when the al
ready developed horrors OF the
atom and hydrogen bombs will
be combined with the intercon-
tinental ballistic missile delivery
system to put humiliation of the
worlds most highly developed
civilizations within push-button
range Of at least two nations.
Second. the Hungarian and
Polish uprisings have disclosed
weaknesses in the Soviet satel-
lite system which could conceiv-
ably make the Kremlin more re-
ceptiye to some kind of arms
limitation plan.
Third. Soviet Premier Nikolai
Bulganin's November II letter to
President Eisenhower. accepting
for the first time the principle
of aerial inspection. has given
new hope that the Soviet Union
may be more receptive to a
meaningful disarmament agree
ment.
5OO-Mile PuIlback Proposed
A pullback in Europe roughly
500 miles east and west of the
Iron Curtain and a limited open
skies inspection system for that
area were proposed by Premier
Bulganin. So far the President
has not sent his reply.
But the United States is UNI
derStood to be opposed to any
rollback of NATO and Commu-
mist forces in central Europe ex-
cept as part of an overall settle
ment. In any staged arms limi-
tation arrangement this first
stage would leave the Soviet
Union with a marked advantage.
Western forces would be pushed
back to narrow areas along the
European west coastlines with
no room for maneuver. The

director of the Bureau of the
Budget. disputed Davis state
ments that the administration
was not working to cut back
'manpower. He noted that there
have been 100000 cuts in the
payroll since the Eisenhower a0-
ministration took Office and that
the total employment has re-
manned fairly constant for two
years despite the initiation OF
new programs.
However, the bureau was
urged to do more policing among
Government agencies to see that
all possible cuts are made Mr.
Davis noted that today's payroll
of more than $40 billion exceeds
the total cost of Government in
1899.
Letter To Wilson
At one point in today's hear
ings, Representative Gross, Re-
publican of Iowa, remarked that
assistant secretaries appointed to
g over m e n departments to
work on manpower problems
don't provide economy, but just
provide another layer of fat UP
and down the line" He gave as
an example the Department oil
State. which he said has such
a position, yet has increased its
personnel by five per cent in the
past year.
At the end of today's hearing
Chairman Davis released a let
ter he had written to Secretary
Iof Defense Wilson asking that
his department act to see that
Government contracts with pri-
waite firms spell out the exact
amount they can spend to re-
Icruit scientists and engineers.
