FeuefaClOn, compares the VOUeS
cast for representatives of both
parties in these two election
years, showing percentage in
creaseS and decreases in the
cases of those who voted to
override President Eisen-
hower's veto of the 1856 high,
rigid price support bill, and of
those who voted to sustain that
veto.
Particular attention was paid
10 congressional farm districts
in the Midwest. where the So
called farm revolt was high
lighted by the election last
summer of Democratic Senator
Proxmire in Wisconsin (the
first in many years.. and more
recently by the greatly in
creased Democratic vote in the
first Minnesota district to fill
q vacancy caused by the death
Of Republican Representative

Is Suffer Loss of Votes
The study shows that l6
Midwest Republican Represent
atives who voted to override
the Presidents veto of the 1856
farm bill suffered a decrease,
percentagewise, from their 1854
vote as compared to their 1856
vote. On the other hand, only
three of these Midwest Repub-
lican Congressman who sought
to override the veto increased
their percentage of the vote.
Also, 10 Midwest Republican
Representatives who voted to
sustain the Presidents veto of
this measure gained percent
agewise in their 1856 vote as
compared to their vote in 1854,
while only six lost in their per-
centage vote.
Another table, dealing with
al Midwest Democratic Repre-
sentativeS and their votes in
1856 and 1854 total of 10
showed that five of them in
creased their vote percentage
wise from 1854 to 1856, eight
suffered decreases, one had no
change and two were not con-
tested in 1856.
Those Who Won More Votes
Those Representatives who
received increases in their votes
percentagewise were Represent
ativeS Gray of Illinois, Blat-
mix and Kuntson of Minnesota,
and Polk and HAYES of Ohio.

CONTRACT BRIDGE
BY EASLEY Lakewood

However, there was another
point to consider. If the de-
tenders were permitted to hold
the first trick. what If they
shifted to clubs-a suit in
which Mr.. Dale had Just one
stopper. Then the diamond
finesse would have to be right.
Mr.. Dale realized that he
might 60 set no matter how he
played. But if the hand was
hard to play, it also would be
hard to defend. In view Of the
danger of a club shift he elected
to forget about the holdup and
put the defenders on the spot
at trick two.
Accordingly he won with the
ace Of hearts and led a spade
from the board. 1t should have
been clear to Mr.. Abel that the
old master was trying to steal
a spade trick, else why was he
ignoring the long diamond suit
in dummy?
Apparently it wasn't clear,
for Mr.. Abel played low. Mr..
Dale won with the king Of
spades and shifted to the ten
of diamonds which was ducked
in dummy. With one spade
trick home he didn't care now
whether the finesse worked or
not as he had nine sure winners.
Note that if Mr.. Abel had
taken the first spade, he would
have had to shift specifically
to a club. If he returned a
heart Mr.. Dale could have won
with the king, hoping Mr.. Abel
had started with only two
hearts. The following diamond
finesse would lose but at this
point there would be no way
to reach Mr.. Champions hand
to cash the rest of the hearts.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1958-02-05

Opening lead: Five OF hearts.
Mr.. Champion led the five Of
hearts and Mr.. Dale had to
make up his mind whether to
hold off or to win. If the dia-
mond f1nesse was right, nine
tricks were Immediately avail
able-six diamonds. two hearts
and a club.
But if Mr.. Abel held the king
Of diamonds, there would be
only five winners in that suit
and a spade trick would have
to be picked up to make the
required nine. In this case the
holdup at trick one seemed to
be called for.

One of the bad features of the huge electrical
towers that springing up across the northern
part of our county is the fact that the sight of
the ugly things is a constant reminder that the
city is creeping closer to you.
1t is unfortunate that so many beautiful
farms marred by these towers that will take
electricity from the new Dickerson power plant
to users in the Washington suburban But it
is something that must be done
The Potomac Electric Power Company or
any other company, should have some type of
public relations program that would tend to
create better feelings among those affected
by the erection of these towers. And the
money given for land should be done in
more equitable way, il seems to us. And the
breeze about Montgomery County wanting
the Dckerson plant and therefore, should
welcome these towers is beside the point. OF
course, the plant should be located i'm Mont.
gOmery County if the people here are the
who going to and pay for the
electricity.
There was much talk about the new plant
being located in Virginia across the Potomac
River. Had this been done the State of Virginia
would have received the goodly amount of tax
money. And it should be remembered that the
people Of Montgomery County would have been
subjected to the ugly towers just the same At
least, perhaps the heavy tax money will help
smooth some Of the feathers that have been
ruffled because of this situation

Growth of Gaithersbura Area

We remember when Veirs Mill Road was
real dirt road. The country people in the Silver
Spring area who wanted to go to the County Seat
way up in Rockville had to get to the narrow
Rockville Pike and head north And this wasn't
too long ago. No dreamed that such sea OF
houses and commercial development would spring
up so quickly between Silver Spring and Rock
vile.
There are many people today irving to
figure out Just where the next really big
squirt of growth is going to spring forth.
Learned authorities such matters believe
the Gaithersburg is in for tremendous
growth. And many people trying to
figure on some land that might turn out as
valuable as that around the former apple or
chard Mt COlesve and Georgia Avenue in Sill
yer Spring But one guess is as good as
another
Land in the Gaithersburg area is expensive
but here is an example of a man who might be
asking just little too much for few acres the
school board wants for school. Appraisers
said the land was worth $2400 acre. This
sounded reasonable and quite fair to many real
estate men. But the owner, public-spirited man.
demanded S3000 We understand a jury will have
to decide the outcome.
That's just a sample of what land might be
worth in this GaitherSburg area.

By Wick Byron

CHARLES E. WYATT raised his voice in pro.
test against paragraph in one of our columns
in which we said that it seemed to us that Officer
Crabb of the Montgomery County Police Depart.
ment stationed in Rockville might have used
better judgment when he arrested a driver of
White House car for exceeding the speed limit
on new Route 240 on Saturday afternoon.
Mr.. Wyatt is absolutely right when he said
that official cars should obey the same laws
that unofficial cars compelled to comply
with" That wasn't our point and we said that
violations of this type should not be condoned
However, we did say that policing, just like any
thing else, has elements of common sense that
must be observed. And we don't believe that
Officer Crabb used common sense in this particu
lar case, although he has the reputation of being
fine officer.
We took the time to discuss this case with
several members of the Montgomery County
Police Department and all agreed that common
sense is very necessary if a good policing job is
to be done. Each said that circumstances played
an important part in the initial and final steps
of any arrest, especially for motor violation
Each agreed that he might have given the driver
warning but in his opinion it was unnecessary
to actually charge the driver
Mr.. Wyatt probably drives an automobile
and he may very well be one OF those who
never drives a mile over the speed limit and
lor tIiiS ne SnOuIu De cOIgfatuiaIed. But II as
also possible that Mr.. Wyatt would agree with
several OF the officers who said that they had
driven at least 20 miles an hour on this very
super highway And figured it was
dangerous 20 the general public. On other
roads and other different circumstances such
sneea would be nthinkabe.
Mr.. WyattS point is well taken and the only
purpose in belaboring this point is to bring out
the fact that policing is an important job but it
is also one that requires common sense and an
allowance for human and forgivable error
1t must be added that the Montgomery Coun-
ty Police Department enjoys one of the finest
regulations for efficiency honesty and general
excellence in police work And the reporting of
one or two incidents does not serve to defame
the entire police department. And by the same
token there is reason why such examples of
what we consider poor policing should not be
called to your attention, They have been in the
past and they will be in the future.
