Opening lead: Heart queen.
Take the case Of the ten Of
spades IN the North hand. At
some stage Of the hand South
can lead the nine Of spades TO
dummy's ten. Declarer gains
nothing on that trick, since
his own five trumps all are just
as good as dummy'S ten.
Declarer will gain If he can
enter dummy with the ten of
spades at just the right time.
He must first get rid of two
rounds Of trumps and two
rounds of clubs.
Cannot Draw Trumps
South cannot draw trumps
at once. He ruffs the third
round Of hearts with the jack
of spades and draws just one
round of trumps with the ace.
Then he switches to the king
Of clubs. II South had drawn
two rounds Of trumps, West
could take the first club and
lead q third trump. This would
use up dummy's ten Of spades
before South was ready to cash
dummy's clubs.
AS matters stand 1t does West
no good to take the ace Of clubs
at once. If West fires back a
trump South wins, cashes the
queen of clubs and then leads
the nine of spades to dummy's
ten. The same position can be
reached If West refuses the
first club but wins the second
club.
When declarer finally gets to
dummy with the ten Of spades
he Is ready to cash the jack and
ten Of clubs. This allows him
to get rid of his low diamonds
and the contract is safe. The
ten of spades was of no value
as a winner but 1t provided an
entry to two club tricks.

Nationals of Communist coun-
tries which West Germany does
not recognize are also allowed to
travel across the country if they
identify themselves. In effect, the
West German government honors
the passports issued by Commu-
mist CzechoSlovakia and Poland
when 1t issues the special transit
ViSaS.
In 1856, there were more
than $4,000 West Germans who
visited Poland.
The meaning of formal recog-
milton is thus being eroded by
these informal arrangements for
contact between countries whose
governments are not speaking to
each other.
Given the considerable forces
already carrying the West toward
increased recognition Of the Com
munist creatures of the Soviet
Union in Eastern Europe, and
keeping in mind the dangers of
war which hang over the Berlin
crisis, prospects that the West
will 60 to war rather than accord
the East German government
some new measure of recognition
are not considered great in diplo-
matte circles here.

West Germany also carries on

nize.
The volume each way in trade
with Poland and Czechoslovakia
in 1857 was between $50 million
and $50 million. Trade with Hun
gary was about $25 million each
way. Imports from Yugoslavia
totaled 1858 million in 1857, ex-
ports $78 million.
The United States does not
recognize Bulgaria, but imported
$459,000 worth of goods in 1857.
$4,000 worth in 1856.
Imports from Albania, another

One Of the principal issues in
the Berlin crisis arose when the
Soviet Union announced it in
tended to turn over its occupation
responsibilities to the Communist
East German regime. This would
give officials Of the unrecognized
East German government control
Of access routes to Berlin.
The West has previously re-
sisted dealing with East German
officials, however. The United
States has gone so far as to allow
American citizens seized by East
Germany to languish in jail for
weeks until the Soviet Union took
up the responsibilities for allied

personnel 1t assumed in the Ger
man occupation agreements.
In the past year, however.
American military personnel have
dealt with East German officers
to obtain the release Of flyers lost
over East Germany and other mil
itary personnel. This was done
only under conditions Of "black-
mail" however, as Secretary Of
State Dulles put 1t.
Up to now, too, the West has
insisted that the Soviet Union
must handle allied traffic along
Berlin access routes until a peace
treaty with all Germany is signed.

Of the access routes to East 'er-
many. however, indications are
that the West will have to make
some accommodation increasing
the increment Of recognition for
the Red German regime.
de facto" recognition Of the
East German regime has already
been granted, however. in a num-
Der of ways by a number Of the
Western allies.
West Germany itself has been
the leader, although always on the
basis that it was dealing with
other Germans, rather than with
another German government.
The West Germans have ar
rangements to import up to $3.50
million worth of East German
goods each year, while exporting
a like amount to East Germany.
Last year the trade each way was
around 5000 million.
East and West Germans travel
frequently to each others areas.
In the last few years hundreds Of
thousands Travelled back and
forth between East and West
Germany.
The West German government
has sought to restrict East Ger
many's contact with the nom
Communist world by withholding
recognition from any country
which recognizes East Germany.
This rule, like many, has one
outstanding exception. Bonn rec
ognizes the Soviet Union even
though Moscow recognizes the
East German regime.
But the West German rule has
had considerable effect. 1t is
widely credited with persuading
third-force countries like Egypt,
India and Iraq to withhold formal
recognition of East Germany.
These countries value their con-
facts with West GERMANY too
much to risk cutting them of.
Yugoslavia also held of recog-
nizing East Germany for years.
When 1t finally decided to ex-
change ambassadors with the

West Germany cut of diplomatic

But at that point the elasticity

Resentment Of Refugees
However much of the resent
ment against the refugee is eco
nomic. Refugees by law are given

the expense of which is borne py
native West Germans. Under pre-
vailing Bonn legislation, a special
refugee tax is levied on West
Germans for this purpose.
"They tell us we have to nay
1t because we lost the war"
sneered Neuenmarkt's Deputy
Buegermeister. The tax is as
SeSsed on the basis of real and
business values and payable in
annual installments for a 3O-year
period.
Blame for the cold war and
its local impact is chiefly laid to
the Russians. Fresh revulsion
against the old "Bolshevik mem
ace" developed a few years back
when German POWs were re-
turned from Russian internment
camps. These old Wermacht
hands never die. but they did
nearly fade away. They had been
kept on Transformation diets by
their captorS for many years. Rich
Bavarian fare of knockwurst and
potato dumplings proved to be
too much for their malnutrition-
ridden systems after their return.
Some OF these former anti-Bol-
shevik crusaders thus did not meet
their deaths armed with rifles on
the frozen Russian steppes. They
bravely came to their ends armed
with proSaic knives and forks at
Bavarian dinner tables.
Articulate resentment against
Moscow and anti-communism by
no stretch Of the Imagination is
a sure-fire sign of pro-American
sentiment.
A farmers wife summed up the
prevailing "leave-us-alone" mood
when she terms politics in general
as a "Schwindel." All that hap
pened in elections as far as she
could tell was that one gang of
crooks ouSted another. Her obvious
contempt for politics was focused
on West Germany'S two principal
parties. She regarded the Social
Democrats as Communist-domi
noted and the incumbent Chris.
tan Democrats under Adenauer
as yes men,"
Some KulmbacherS allege that
people are still afraid to say what
they really think. 1t is probably
safe to say. however, that close
mouth tendencies and miStruSt of
politicians reflect the aftermath
OF disillusion resulting from IL
years of Hitler's supercharged pc.
litical chicanery.
1t also is safe to say that given
their choice at the polls, the solu-
ton most likely Endorsed by Kreis
KulmbacherS would be neither
provost nor pro-East. 1t would
undoubtedly be pro-German or.
even more Enthusiastically, pro-
Bavarian.

About 81 million worth Of wool,
