South was now in trouble. He
was in danger of losing a heart

and club. There was still
hope, so South decided not to
weep until he was hurt. He led
q trump to the ace and re-
turned the nine Of hearts to-
ward dummy.
Goes Astfay
This is where West went
Iastray. Fearing that South had
led a singleton heart. West
stepped right up with the ace
Of hearts. This was a fatal
error. West led another dia-
mond to his partners ten and
East returned the king Of clubs.
The defenders had taken three
tricks and wanted only one club
trick to defeat the contract.
South took the ace Of clubs,
led a heart to the king and
ruffed a heart. Since this
cleared the suit declarer drew
trumps with his own queen and
dummy'S king. Then he dis
|carded losing clubs on the last
two hearts, making the contract.
There would be a different
story to tell had West refused
the first heart trick. Dummy
would take the king of hearts
and return a heart. The de-
tenders would cash a diamond
and lead the king of clubs. Now
South would be unable to bring
in dummy's long hearts. De-
clarer can get to dummy only
once with the king Of trumpS) /
and he must ruff a heart and
get back to dummy a second
time to cash the hearts. He
cannot do both things with
only one entry to dummy.

Steel Strike
Settlement
Issues Listed

NEW YORK, July 20 (AP).-
Settlement OF the steel strike
must include a wage increase
of less than 10 cents an hour
II 1t is TO be called mon
infiationary," Iron Age, nation
al Woodworking weekly, said
today.
The big problem facing the
peacemakers is how to get the
strike settled without forcing
up steel prices, the magazin"
continued. 1t conceded that
there are other issues such as
management rights, union pow
er. steel earnings, worker pro-
ductivity, foreign competition
and the workers share OF the
profit pie. 4.
But when you examine each
one in detail" the publication
added, they all lead to the
basic issue of costs, And costs
are the determining factor in
prices"
In connection with a mon
inflationary" wage increase,
Iron Age said the steel mills
have not yet been able to
translate into cents per hour
what it would be worth to have
more freedom to make money
saving changes in plant OPP
erations.
The magazine said the ques-
ton Of whether steel costs will
rise as part of the eventual
settlement revolves around two
main considerations:
/. If the companies are to
avoid employment costs in
creases they would have to stop
the union cold, which they have
not been able to do in five
previous strikes since World
War II.
2. Or the companies would
have TO abandon the principle
that to protect their profit po-
sition higher wages must be
Offset by higher prices unless
compromising economies are
made possible.

Congress must pass a law this
session permitting the Treasury
to raise the interest rate on
saving bonds?
II Congress does not pass
this legislation, 1t must assume
the risk Of sabotaging the en-
tire savings bond program.
These are facts
The interest rate the Treas
ury is paying the 40 million
owners of over $42 billion Of
outstanding savings bonds has
become painfully out of line as
a result of the upsurge in the
whole level of interest rates
since mid-l958.
The interest rate has become
glaringly unfair to the 8 million
Americans now buying bonds
under payroll savings plans.
1t is far below what the Treas
ury Is paying to other holders
of its I.O.U.s-the big institu-
tional and individual investors
who buy It's securities in the
open market.
1t is far below what an in
dividual can earn simply by
putting cash in most savings
banks or savings institutions.
Under the present rate, a
savings bond will pay you 3l4
per cent interest If you hold it
to maturity in eight years. IL
months. 1t will pay you 3 per
cent interest IF you hold it
three years.
Most savings institutions will
pay you ga per cent. 334 per
cent or even 4 per cent interest
on your funds. The Treasury
itself last week put 434 per
cent coupons on some new
short-term notes.
This is not fair to the holder
and new buyer of savings bonds.
The Treasury freely admits that
lin all fairness some re-
vision in interest rates is called
for. E"
Savings bonds - as we'll as
cash and insurance-do belong
in the basic nest egg of the
average American family. The
purchase of the bonds under a
payroll savings plan is a SUI
perb way to discipline yourself
into saving regularly and con-
veniently in absolutely risklesS
securities.
But because the program
makes sense for the millions
who aren't and don't want to
be sophisticated investors is nc
justification for penalizing the
savings bond holder. While il
can be properly argued that
the savings bond buyer should
not be paid as high an interest
rate as the investor who takes
the risks of buying bonds in
the open market, it can not be
properly argued that the saw
ings bond buyer should be at
the bottom of the interest rate
totem pole.
1t was in recognition of these
points that the Treasury on
June s asked Congress to re-
move the rate ceiling on saw
ings bonds so it could improve
the terms. In essence, it pro-
poses to pay holders of savings
bonds 324 per cent if they keep
their bonds to maturity in
seven years, nine months, and
3 per cent if they keep their
bonds two years.

wise to use the simpler word.
My correspondent has a point,
by the way, when he notes that
dictionaries don't work back
wards" making it had to find
a specific word when only the
meaning is known. However
there are several other word
books designed to meet this
need. Most common are the
various editions Of Roget's The
saurus. In the new Roget's
College Thesarurus in Diction-
airy Form, for example, you will
find under the word "chari-
table" the following synonyms:

QUESTION: In a recent in

Charles Goren said that the
reason the Italian team beat
the Americans in the recent
international matches was be-
cause the Italians made less
mistakes" Is this a correct
usage?-L. c. W., Pittsburgh.
Pa.
ANSWER: Strictly speaking.
no. The standard rule is to
use 'less" when referring to
quantity (use less sugar in the
coffee and fewer" when re-
ferring to number tthere are
fewer cabs on the street when
it rains). It's a nice distinc-
ton. one worth observing. IN
fortunately many people, like
Mr.. Goren, seem never to have
heard Of 1t.

BOB (HAVVK) TAYLOR
CALLED TO BRAVES
FOR cOVINGTON'S PLACE

Milwaukee The Milwaukee
Braves have received special per-
mission from baseball Commission
er Ford Prick to recall outfieIder
Bob (Hawk) Taylor from Atlanta
as a replacement for injured Yves
Covington, the club announced.
The special permission allows
the Braves to take Taylor from
Atlanta before the completion of
the AA Southern Association sea-
son, which is not ordinarily per-
missible under league rules.
The Braves have been playing
with only "a men-one under the
limit since Covington was disabled
earlier this month for the rest of
the season with a torn ligament in
his right ankle.
Taylor, 20, of Metropolis, Ill,
was signed to a bonus contract as
a catcher in 1857. He spent all OF
the 1857 season and part Of the
1858 with the Braves. He hit .296
in 95 games with Atlanta this sea-
son and played outfield for the
past six weeks.
