The new area also included
Formosa, about 100 miles from
the mainland, and the Nation

been claimed by the Reds as

Eisenhower Warns
Reds on Formosa

BY GARRETT d. HORNER
Star stan Writer


NEWPORT, R. l., Sept. A.
President Eisenhower today
warned the Chinese Commu-
nists he will not hesitate to
throw Americas armed forces
against them in a fight over the
Nationalist offshore islands IL
he decides such action is neces-
sary for the defense of Formosa.
He made it clear, however,
that he thinks the Chinese Ma
tionalist forces might be able
to turn back a Red invasion
without any more than strong
logistical support from the
United States.
The Presidents position was
explained in a statement issued
by Secretary of State Dulles
with Mr.. Eisenhower's approval
after they had conferred here
for los minutes on the "seri.
Gus" situation caused by. Red
China's warlike activities in the

warning to the Communists not
to try to take Quemoy, said
that if he were on the Red side
he would think very hard be-
fore going ahead with any such

Mr.. Dulles emphasized that
the President has not yet made
any finding that use of Ameri-
can armed forces is required

Hoffa Accused
Of Diverfinq
Welfare Funds
Teumsters Seen
Ticking 500 Loss
In 81 Million Deal
BY LEE COIN
Star stan Writer

Senate investigators charged
today that James R. Hoffa
helped swing a complicated
real estate deal that will cost
the Transfers Union hundreds
of thousands of dollars.
According to testimony be-
fore the Senate Rackets Com
mittee, the welfare fund of
Hoffa's Michigan Conference of
Transfers loaned 81 million to
land developers in 1855.
Witnesses said the original
agreement protected tn e
unions interests, but the safe
guards were waived by George
s. Fitzgerald, a top lawyer for
Hoffa and attorney for the
welfare fund.
Walter Henson, an accountant
on the committees staff, said
the WELFARE fund by now should
have been repaid about SIS
million in pricipal and interest,
but actually has received only
$104, 900.
Since the committees in
vestigation started, Mr.. Hen
son said, Mr.. Fitzgerald has
started foreclosure proceedings.
But. the witness said, all that
remains Of the loan security is
about $50 acres Of land worth
at most $350.000.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1958-09-04
Details of Deal

Here is the transactions as
explained by Mr.. Henson and
by William J. Schultz, an Of
ficer Of the Abstract Title &
Guarantee Co. Of Detroit:
The Winchester Village Land
Co. borrowed the 81 million,
which the welfare fund depos-
tied in escrow with Abstract.
Security for the loan was 1870
acres Of land which the pre-
moters planned to develop as
Winchester Village near Flint.
Mich.
Mr.. Fitzgerald was paid $685.
900 by the land company for
locating the loan money. At
the time, Mr.. Fitzgerald was
receiving about $4,000 a month
as a lawyer for the Transfers.
Under the agreement, the
land company was to draw
money from Abstract as bills
we're presented for development
of the project. Actually, it was
charged, the land company
submitted false bills and di-
verted $247,941 from Win
chester Village to other uses
including $20,935 to buy 10
cows, one bull and farm sup
plies.
The agreement provided that
the loan should be used only
to develop land on which the
Teamsters held mortgages. But
Mr.. Fitzgerald instructed Alb
stract to waive this require
ment and allow withdrawal of
money for other purposes.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1958-09-04
Repayment Safeguard

Another requirement of the
loan agreement provided that
the land developers would pay
Abstracts $1,000 or more for
each parcel of developed land
that was sold. This safeguard
for repayment of the loan also
was waived.
The land company sold about
$50 acres of improved land
without making the required
payments. The Transfers thus
lost control of this portion of
the loan security.
Only about 5000 remains from
the 81 million loan placed in
escrow with Abstract.
Chairman Mcclellan. Demo-
crat of Arkansas, frequently
shook his head in amazement
as details of the deal unfolded.
He was especially incredulous
about one sidelight-sale of 10
acres of land for $4,000 by the
land developers, with an agree
ment to repurchase the same
tract a year later for $50, 900.
Records indicate that the de-
VelOperS obtained the S5n nm hv
submitting a false invoice to
draw money from the loan fund.

proved the loan show that

New Law Asked
On Confessions

The Federation of Citizens
Associations last night sup
ported legislation to reverse the
effect of the Supreme Courts
Mallory decision.
AS result of the Mallory
decision. a confession even if
voluntary. is inadmissable as
evidence in Federal courts if
an excessive delay" exists be-
tween the time Of arrest and
arraignment.
The federation said in its
resolution the Supreme Court
has made it virtually impos-
sible to convict many self-con-
fessed criminals and has Seri-
ouSly hampered the efforts of
law enforcement officials in the
detection and prevention of
crime"
Bill Not Specified
No particular bill before Con-
gress gained the groups sup
port. but the federation said it
''realizes the need for legisla-
ton designed to prevent a self
confessed criminal from evad-
ing punishment by a mere tech
nicality and favors any legis-
lation which will accomplish
this objective"
In another action, the group
supported the District Commits
sioners' request for an increase
of S32 million in the Federal
payment to the District, and
authorization to borrow 500
million from the United States
Treasury.
1t also approved the Com
misSioners' suggestion that the
amount Of the annual Federal
payment to the District should
be whatever the District needs
to meet operating expenses
above the amount of tax reve-
nue. it receives.
To Join In CLEANUP
The Federation met in the
District Building.
Other business conducted by
the federation included:
l. Agreement to join with
other organizations in an all
out cleanup campaign in the

This iDeek's articles present
the dramatic netD Kdpldn-
Sheinwold bidding system.
the most successful of all
modern bidding methods. The
series pas prepared as a spe-
cial serpice for The Washing
ton Star bv Alfred Sheinwold,
iDhoSe regular articles on
bridge mill begin to appear
in The Star merit meek.
The Five-Card Major
In the Kaplan -Sheinwold sys-
TEN you don't open the bidding
with q four-card major suit.
When you do open a major you
have a suit Of I'VE or more
cards.
Responder can rely on this
known length. Responder may
raise with three small trumps,
knowing that the combined
length is at least eight cards.
Thsi kind of raise often makes
it difficult for the opponents
to get into the auction.
What If the opener has only
four cards in a major suit? II
the hand is a minimum OPEN
ing bid he opens with l MT. II
the hand is too strong for the
weak no-trump," he opens
with one club or one diamond.
whichever he has more Of. He
can bid his major suit at his
next turn, thus warning his
partner that it is likely to be
a four-card suit.
Responding to the Major Suit
A simple raise is a weak bid,
showing three or more trumps
and about 6 or 7 points. This
may 60 down to S points or
up to a shabby 8 points. The
raise is a useful bid. and a
good system will let you make
it often.
With a juicy raise, 3 to II
points, respond MT. Opener
must bid again Gas we will soon
see). and responder can bid
three spades at his second turn
Other raises are pretty stand
ard. The raise to three is fore
ing to game. The jump right
to four Of a major is based
on good distribution but meager
strength in high cards.
A response of two clubs or
two diamonds is usually the
beginning of a game or slam
auction. With a doubtful hand
responder may bid Mt first
and show his long suit at his
next turn.
Forcing Response Of Mt
The response of / Mt to one
Of a major is forcing for one
round in the Kaplan-S heinwold
system. This doesn't mean that
the response is strong; it just
means that the opener promises
to rebid.
Opener may bid one spade
and then two hearts If he has
length in both majors. He may
bid one and then two of his
major suit if he has a six-card
suit Cor an exceptionally pow
erful f1ve-card suit. Usually
his second bid will be in {
minor suit. perhaps even {
three-card suit.
This rebid gives the respond.
er the chance to describe hi,
hand more fully. Responder
may go to two Of the origina
major if he has a poor hand;
or to three of the origina
major to show support with
9 to IL points; or to INT with
about 10 to IL points; or III

North can well afford to raise
to two spades despite the weak
spade holding, since South is
known to have at least five
spades.
East cannot afford to climb

South trumps the second dia-
mond. South leads a low spade
to dummy's eight and tries the

king.
West returns a heart. but he
Is too late to get a heart trick.
South wins and leads another
trump to force out the ace.
West leads a second heart to
dummy'S king, but South takes
the top clubs. gets back to
dummy with the 10 of trumps.
and discards his last heart on
a good club.
Four spades bid and made,

Now see what happens If
North has to respond / Mt at
his first turn, for fear that
South has only a four-card
spade suit. East can afford to
bid two diamonds. Now South
cannot buy the hand for four
spades. West will sacrifice at
five diamonds, and East is set
only two tricks. East and West
are delighted to give up 300
points in order to stop a vul-
nerable game.
Moral: When you can safely
do so, make it expensive for
the opponents to get into the
auction.
