CONTRACT BRIDGE
By EASLEY BLACKWOOD

now 1t was Mr.. Dale who had
the problem. Since the jack Of
clubs was showing on the
board, 1t appeared that the
queen was a singleton or part
of o doubleton. II he ducked
and the queen was a singleton,
Miss Brash could overtake with
the king and return the suit for
her partner to run.
/ But she could not know
weather the queen was a single
ton or not and might not make
that play. There was also the
point that if Mr.. Abel had
started with a lone club he
probably would have led 1t at
trick one. With these thoughts
in mind Mr.. Dale elected to let
the queen of clubs win.
Mr.. Abel then led his last
club. Dummy,s ace won and
the queen of spades was led
and f1nessed. Mr.. Abel won
with the king but since he was
out of clubs there was no way
to cash the setting trick. Des-
perately he underled his ace of
hearts. but Mr.. Dale ruffed,
picked up the remaining
trumps, and discarded dummy's
last two clubs on his long dia-
mond suit.

Miss BraSh tried bravely but
unsuccessfully to shut out the
opposition with a jump to four
hearts over Mr.. Masters take
out double. Mr.. Dale's hand
looks q little thin for a free bid
at the four level, but his four
spade call was justified. There
was an excellent chance that
MIR. Masters had a good spade
holding Of at least four cards.
And If the opponents could
beat four spades as much as
two tricks. the chances we're
good that they could make four
hearts. If by some remote
chance Mr.. Masters saw fit to
bid five clubs or five diamonds.
Mr.. Dale's hand would be quite
a respectable dummy for
either contract.

 His father was Augustus Saint GaudenS, one of Americas fore most sculptors

Goldfine Indicted For Contempt

WASHINGTON, LR - A federal grand jury yesterday indicted Boston industrialist Bernard Gold fine on a charge of contempt of Congress.
 The Recount indictment was based on Goldfine's refusal to an- swer 22 questions put to him by the House Subcommittee on Leg islative Oversight, which last summer investigated Goldfine's relationship with Sherman Adams, then Assistant to President Eisen- hover.
 The questions Goldfine refused to answer were mostly about his financial dealings with a Boston company he controls
 The House voted a contempt ci- tation 378-8 on August 13.
 The law provides for maximum penalties of a year in jail and a fine of $1,000 for each count of contempt proven in court.

Fisheries Commission President
 Deplores Government Secrecy

ruinous, wide-open fishing tac- tics it followed in 1857.
 If the Japanese restrain them selves. the commission president said, stocks of Bristol Bay red sal- mon may be maintained, even re- stored little in the years before the abstention line is moved west of it's present location along the meridian of 175 West Longitude
 However, he warned, any de- cision of the commission requires unanimous approval from it's United States, Canadian and Jap anese representatives.
 Meanwhile, studies indicate that all stocks of U. s. fish, including all Alaska salmon except the Bris- tol Bay reds, are adequately pro- tected by the present line.
 Allen praised accomplishments of the commission.
 Particularly at this years meet ing in Tokyo, he said,~ the friendly tone of discussions proved how much progress has been made.
 But he thinks a firmer State Department stand would have eli minated today's problems if it had been taken in 1851 when the original treaty was negotiated.
 At that time. Allen said, the State Department settled for Jap anese acceptance of the "absten- ton" principle instead of insist ing on this nations absolute right to the Alaska salmon fishery it had developed and conserved.
 A precedent for U. s. property rights to the Alaska salmon was set in the 193O's, he recalled, when Secretary of State Cordell Hull warned Japanese fleets off from the grounds they had been fishing near Bristol Bay.

Things Looking Up For Father of Girl Killed Chicago School Fire

CHICAGO. lR - Things looked little brighter - literally and figuratively m today for Stanley BlIr7a
 Things were blackest a week ago when he left Cook County Hospital wearing protective blind CTS over an injured eye to make funeral arrangements for his daughter.
 The girl, Beverly Ann, 13, was killed in the fire December 1 at Our Lady of the Angels School.
 Burda, a 37-year-old former milkman, was unemployed. On the morning of his daughters death, a splinter which penetrated his left eye while he was chopping wood was removed.
 The tragedy got Burda a job, temporarily, checking up on the needs of other families whose children were killed or injured in the fire. He was hired for his work by Jim Moran, an auto dealer, who announced he would give $10,000 to needy families of fire victims.
 Burda was told by doctors Mon day he could take off his blind CTS. His injured eye is virtually normal again.

Air Force Academy Lowers Physical Standards

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo, R - There never has been an Air Force Academy cadet who stands 6 feet 6, weighs 239 pounds, and wears glasses. But there may be in the future.
 The academy announced Mon day it is relaxing it's physical standards for admission.
 The academy has increased ca det height limits from feet to 6 feet 6, and weight from 226 pounds to 239 pounds.
 Applicants also may be accepted with distant and near vision in both eyes of 20-5O, correctible to 20-20 with moderate refractive error, and with minor defects of color vision. Failure to pass depth perception tests no longer will dis qualify an applicant.

SEATTLE, R-American State Department secrecy on fisheries and other matters of interest to the public was criticized by the president of the International North Pacific Fisheries Commits sion.
 Edward H. Allen, Seattle at- torney who.heads the three-power commission, declared in speech to the Alaska division of the Se- attle Chamber of Commerce:
 "One of the things that bothers me is the secrecy surrounding much of our activities. Just this week I received a letter from the State Department stamped 'confi- dentiap all over it.
 Of course, I have to answer in the same way. But many of these matters are ones that the public really ought to know. I wish more of our activities could be out in the open, and I wish the State Departments activities could be conducted more openly"
 Allen told the Chamber audi ence that he expects Japan to agree eventually to shift the fish cries commission abstention line farther west in the Pacific Ocean and protect the Bristol Bay red salmon stocks the Japanese fleets are depicting.
 Meanwhile, he predicted that Japan will restrict it's salmon fish ing as it did the past year and not invade waters north of the Aleutian Islands with the same

local pupil assignment legisla-
ton. AS the g. o. p. candidate
for Governor. Senator Dalton
campaigned on a platform call
ing for local pupil placement.
The three bills drafted by
the two Senators would repeal
existing laws that provide for
the closing Of any school where
indignation takes place and re-
turn to the local school boards
the authority for assigning stu
dents to particular schools.
Their legislation sets forth a
variety of reasons, excluding
race. on which local school
boards would be authorized to
make assignments.
Cite Two Aims
In a joint statement the two
Senators said their bills COM
prise an attempt to meet in
a constructive and conserva-
tive way the most curcial issue
facing the people of Virginia:
One, to save our system of
free public education, and two,
to maintain the separation of
the races in the schools more
effectively than any other
plan"
Gov. Almond during his cam
paign against Senator Dalton
rejected the idea of local pupil
placement, calling it legalized
indignation. He has embraced
the States existing anti-inte-
grafton laws, and. in addition,
has brought about the intro
iduction Of q new law to close
any school patrolled by Fed
eral troops.
Today's legislation offered by
Senators Boothe and Dalton is
their second proposal at the
