Opening lead: Six Of clubs.
The average player in the
West seat would lead the queen
of hearts. How can anybody
quarrel with such an opening
lead The only trouble is that
it permits South to make the
slam contract.
Declarer wins in his hand
with the ace Of hearts and
leads out the ace of trumpS.
East diScards a diamond and
declarer is surprised to dis
cover that he must lose q trump
trick. This is unfortunate but
not fatal. South must fall back
on the club flnesse. This sue
ceeds, and South makes the
slam contract,
All Practicable
All of this was practicable
from Vests point of view be-
fore he made his opening lead.
AS a matter of fact, when the
hand was actually played, West
did foresee what the dummy
would look like and how South
would play the hand If given
a free shot at it.
West was Lee Hazen, we'll
known New York attorney and
one of the country's leading
bridge players. He decided to
thrust choice on declarer at
the very first trick. For this
reason he opened the six of
clubs! South didn't expect to
lose a trump trick, but he was
afraid of a singleton club in
the West hand. If he took the
club f1nesSe, and lost, a club
might come back and West
might ruff.
For this reason declarer put
up dummy's ace Of clubs at the
first trick. He expected to
draw trumps and then give up
a club trick. He had to lose a
trump as well as a club, and
Hazen's brilliant opening lead
paid off to the tune of 1880
points-the difference between
the slam and the one-trick set.

In unanimous decision, the United
States Supreme Court ruled that the Ma
tonaI Association for the Advancement of
CoIored People need not reveal the names
of its rank and file members to any state
agency The same decision lifted the $780,
600 fine levied against the NAACP for re-
fusaI to turn its membership lists over to
Alabama officials
The NAACP, the Court held, has
made an uncontroverted showing that on
past occasions revelation of the identity Of
it's rank-and-fie members has exposed these
members to economic reprisal, loss OF en-
pIoyment, threat of physical coercion and
other manifestations of public hostility
The Court said that under these cir
cumstances, the kAACP would be damaged
if compelled to reveal the names of its mem

program which it has the right to advo-

Coop Housing
Plan S|le|yed
Southwest Project
CoIled Premature

The District Redevelopment
Land Agency today said 1t is
not ready to consider proposals
for construction Of 800 CO.
operative apartment units and
100 town houses In q Southwest
urban renewal area.
James J. Cassels Of the Poto-
mac Cooperative Federation
said his group and developer
Ralph Bush had talked to the
agency about building coop
housing in the area between
Maine avenue and Canal street
and M and p streets.
Mr.. Cassels said monthly
charges for the apartments
would range from SIS Cor q
one-bedroom unit to $50 for
q three-bedroom apartment.
He said these payments would
be about 20 per cent less than
rent for comparable space in
conventionally financed hous-
ing. 4.
RIA ofncials said they had
not heard anything from the
federation or anyone else to
discourage the idea that CO.
operative housing would be a
good thing for the area below
M street" However, they in
dicated submission Of q spe-
cific proposal now would be
premature"
Buildings In the Stun clear
ance area below M street are
not scheduled for demolition
until May Of next year. Mr..
Cassels said construction OF 800
apartment units and $50 town
houses would take about IS
months. The first units would
not be available until the
middle Of 1861, he said.
Mr.. Cassels said the fedora
ton and Mr.. Bush are awaiting
the outcome Of proposed legisla-
ton on Capitol Hill dealing with
Government backing for coop
housing construction before
| preparing a formal proposal.

THE Ell SALVADOR SEAL

"THE Ell SALVADOR SEAL
Is very intricate and in sew
eral colors," Mr.. Foxe said.
1.-THE Irish flag has no seal,
Just the orange, white and
green stripes"
Mr.. Butler said, you know,
I always thought the Irish
flag was a gold harp on a
field Of green. I think most
people have that idea. So we
won't lose many of those
flags to the souvenir hunters.
Their favorite flags are
those of Great Britain and
the Commonwealth nations.
When the Queen of England
and Prince Philip we're here,
the souvenir hunters took all
the British flags. Ordinarily
our State Department gives
the flags to the embassy of
the visiting head of state.
But that time we had only a
few Of the flags left"
The American and District
flags are stored in the old
stables.
Mr.. Palmer said: I'VE are
trying something new for
the Ell Salvador President. He
is coming In along Four
tenth street instead of the
usual route from the airport
which was Memorial Bridge
and Constitution avenue. AS
soon as he passes the flags on
Fourteenth street our men
will remove them and put
them up on Constitution
avenue. He will pass them
later on his way to the Tomb
Of the Unknowns and Mount

every street in this town is
decorated for him"

ISOLATION. which objects to q
Inew liquor store in its neigh
Iborhood. Mr.. Pullman said the
board should bring down the
number Of liquor licenses in the
District from 38e to the lega'
limit Of 800. He also was criti-
cal of some of the boards &C.
tons.
Boards Reply
Board Chairman Frank E
Weakly replied that the board
does not have power in law OF
equity to terminate a license
He said this matter was set
tied some years ago by the
District Commissioners. who
ruled that licensees could re-
main in business.
The chairman also pointed
out that the board cannot is
sue a license until there Is a
certificate of occupancy from
the necessary District govern
ment officials.
Mr.. Pullman contended that
! the board would be confronted
with a number Of liquor appli-
cations for locations In the new
Southwest.
The chairman said the
boards best information, from
the Redevelopment Land
Agency. hearings and other
sources, is that there will be
room in the new Southwest
only for IAN extremely limited
number of liquor licenses" The
chairman said there are ap-
proximately % there now but
there will not be room for that
number under the new pro-
gram.
1857 Case Recalled
The citizens association
spokesman recalled that the
board on August Is. 1857. had
rejected a liquor license ap-
plication for 1928 Third street
NV. where the applicant
sought to move from South
west. He said that the. Jewelel
application is only two and a
half blocks away from the site
Of the 1857 application. He
also pointed out that the
Swartzell Methodist Home for
Children, a block away from
the proposed location. houses
wards Of the District Public
Welfare Department.
The same conditions prevail
now as did in 1857 when the
board rejected the prior liquor
license application. Mr.. Pull
man said.
Another witness who OBJ
jected to the granting of the
license was the Rev. Woodrow
Bartges, minister of the Al
bright Memorial Church at
Fourth ana Rittenhouse streets
NV. He opposed granting the
license primarily on the ground
the proposed site is in a resi-
dental community and liquor
store should not be permitted
He said that among the in
situations in the area is the
Coolidge High School.

THERE WAS SOME DIS.
CUSTOM on the bus as to
who the honored visitor
might be. The red-haired
woman who works at Jelleff's
remembered that two heads
of state were coming. One
was the President of Fire.
but this could not be the flag
Of the Irish nation. Some one
noticed that the seal in the
center of the flag read "El
Salvador"
That was it. The President
of FL Salvador, Jose Maria
Lemus, was coming.
Francis Stann's suggestion
occurred to the Rambler. In
the afternoon he set out to
get the answers.
His research took him to
the old municipal stables be-
tween Thirteenth and Four
tenth, e and G streets Sc,
which house the electric
shops of the District High
wav Department.
Because lampposts make
ideal flag stands, putting the
flags up is the responsibility
Of this division and comes
under Joseph e. Butler and
Joseph p. Palmer. whose day
to-day responsibilities have
to do with the maintenance
of traffic signals.
The foreign flags are pur-
chased by the State Depart
ment through q l20-man citi-
zens committee headed by
Edgar Morris. The chairman
of the subcommittee which
orders the flags is Jack Foxe
of Loew's, the holding COM
pany for MGM.
Mr.. Foxes committee Is no
titled by the State Depart
ment of the impending visit
of a head of state more than
a month in advance. Only a
head of state has his path
bedecked with flags. Theo-
dore HeuSS, had a flag greet
ing as head of the West Ger
man Republic; Adenauer did
not. The Queen Of England
had It; Prime Minister Mac
milan did not.
As soon as he is notified,
Mr.. Foxe asks the flag manu-
facturers for bids on 400 "a
foot flags, four 15x25 foot
flags, 1000 tiny flags given to
people standing on the curbs
and 800 yards Of bunting to
decorate the fire towers. The
Ell Salvador flags cost $2,766.
The Irish flags which will 60
