But with the exception of a plan
for slum-clearance in this capitals
La Saline waterfront section, the
projects are of a long-term nature.
President Devalier is faced with
short-term political pressures and
a shortage of funds.
During the Congressional recess,
the President and his Economic
Planning Board are expected to
scan the economic development pos
sibilities with an eye to measures
that will put money into circula-
ton rapidly and also produce re-
turns within a fairly short period.
The board has already let it be
known that the problem is one of
priorities. 1t has come out in favor
of revenue-producing programs
such as agricultural expansion and
tourist trade development, as
against politically desirable but
less productive public works and
social programs.
President Duvalier has taken
measures to set the islands pub
lie administration on a new tack
of decentralization by strengthen
ing the civil service and encourag-
ing greater local self-government.
Foreign Capital Sought
The Government is trying to at
tract foreign capital for long-term
development. Congress approved
an increase in Haiti's quota in the
International Monetary Fund from
100000 to $7,500,0OO, which
could facilitate increased assist

Leading Low Trumps
Earns High Score
When you're drawing trumps,
it's customary TO lead out your
high trumps first and then fol-
low up with lower trumps. This
method must sometimes be re-
versed:

10 Dbl. Pass IA
40 - All pass
Opening lead: Diamond king.
West took the king and jack
Of diamonds and then led the
ace Of diamonds in the hope of
weakening the trump suit.
South wisely decided to run
with a low trump in his own
hand rather than with one Of
dummy's high trumps. He dis
carded the jack Of clubs from
dummy.
The next problem was which
finesse to take--spades or clubs.
South properly decided to lead
a club. One finesse in this suit
would do some good, but one
fineSse in spades might leave
him in the same position as
before.
Declarer finessed dummy's
queen Of clubs, winning the
trick. Now the only problem
was to draw trumps without
losing more than one trick.
Leading High Would Fail
South would lose his contract
IL he took the ace Of spades and
then led the queen Of spades.
West would refuse to take his
king.
This would leave West and
dummy with two trumps and
South with only one. If dummy
led another trump, West would
win and lead another diamond
to punch out dummy's last
trump. Then declarer would go
down two. If declarer decided
to abandon trumps after two
rounds, West would make two
trump tricks.
The right plan is to leave the
ace Of spades in the dummy
and to begin the trumps by
leading one of the lower hon.
ors. West would refuse the
trick.
Dummy then continues with
another low trump. If West
wins the trick, South still has
a trump to take care of a dia-
mond. If West refuses the
trick. dummy would then cash
the ace Of spades. and lead out
winning cards in the side suits.
West could run whenever he
liked. but he could not defeat
the contract.
