cost five cents per ounce for
out-of-toWn mail, first-class,
and four cents within local
limits, instead Of the present
three cents, if approved.
Other increases include those
for air mail, from six cents to
eight cents, and for post cards,
three cents instead Of two,
except when handWrit1en. The
other classifications are also
affected, with annual increases
extending over several years.
Part of the proceeds result
ing from the higher rates are
to be used in the next few
years, unden pre- 1ent plans, for
modernizing the postal system.
This would include the build
ing Of new post offices in many
parts of the country.
The modernization program
is admittedly long overdue.
Postal service in the United
States is far behind that found
in some European countries,
where a letter mailed in the
morning to an address within
a city is usually delivered the
same day.
Should the House Of Repre-
sentatives fail to follow the
Senate lead and insist on a
'four-cent stamp rather than d
five, the increase would be
$575 million instead Of $3.50
million.
Caldwell's increase, in that
case, would be proportion
ateIy lower and would amount
to about $500 a year.

Opening lead: Ace Of spades.
Fortunately for the defensive
side. Mrs. Fusty was on lead.
The modern book" lead from
her hand was the queen Of
spades. But Mrs. Fusty has
been playing since the days Of
whist and she uses her vast
experience TO tell her when TO
deviate from the book.
Here is the way the play
would probably 60 on the lead
Of the queen Of spades: Miss
Brash would win with the king
and lead the queen Of clubs.
II Mrs. Fusty won with the ace
Of clubs Miss Brash could take
Stxe club tricks and one trick in
each Of the other suits. OF
course Mrs. Fusty would un-
doubtedly duck the FIRST club,
but the result would be the
same, Miss Brash could over
take with dummy's king Of
clubs and lead back the jack.
Again this would set the clubs
while the ace Of diamonds was
still on the board.
But the opening lead was not
the queen Of spades. II was the
ace Of spades. With 10 high
card points in her hand. Mrs.
Fusty knew her partner didn't
have a picture card. The lead
Of the ace enabled her to take
a look at the dummy so that
she could revise her defensive
plans at trick two IL that seemed
necessary. II certainly did seem
necessary in this case. Dunn
my's only side entry. the ace Of
diamonds. had to be removed
at once so Mrs. Fusty led the
king Of that suit. The dummy
was now dead and Miss Brash
couldn't even come close to win
ming nine tricks.
