but everything seems TO have
gone wrong for the past two
years.
1t all started when Ed lost
his job. His plant moved to a
new location, and we didn't
want to be relocated. Ed had
q lot Of trouble finding a new
job: as a result. we had to
move in with my parents.
My parents have been very
nice, as even he admits, but
he is always depressed. The
worst part Of 1t is that he
doesn't talk to me any more.
As a matter Of fact, he
doesn't even listen. / ran talk

him and I realize that rot a

that Ill go crazy If this

/ don't want to live with
Mary's folks any more than
she does. It's true they are
okay. but we should have our
own home. The way things
are going it may take another
year. My new job doesn't
pay as well as the old one.
Mary keeps complaining
about the way we're living,
but I'd like to know what she
would do in my place. 1t
wasn't my fault that I lost
the other job.
! don't think that ! should
have to listen to a lot of
stupid talk at the end of a
hard days work. I need
plenty of peace and quiet.
That's all I ask-peace and
quiet.

rather serious and Mary is
right to be concerned, but

wrong way.
In addition to being over
whelmed by financial prob
lens, Edgar evidently has
been overwhelmed by his
wife's reaction to those prob
lens. When he doesn't lis
ten to her, he is trying to set
up a barrier to prevent being
hurt.
Possibly Mary tries to
break down this barrier with
more and more talk. AS she
becomes more critical and
disconnected, he feels him
self more and more a
failure.
Talk is needed in this case,
but Mary shouldn't be doing
1t. Edgar is the one who
needs to talk and if Mary
is wise and patient she will
be able TO draw him out
gradually. She should not
question him unless he shows
some interest in starting a
conversation. but she should
give him assurance of con-

in a tender, happy spirit he

Kaufman Is Denied Promotion

Is justice just to itselfP
! wonder =.
A year ago. Harold Medina
retired. He was q Judge Of
the United States Circuit
Court Of Appeals. When he
stepped down. he did a rare
thing. Judge Medina recon-
mended a man for his job.
That man is Judge Irving r.
Kaufman.
Who is Kaufman? He is a
short, handsome man with a
gentle sense of humor. He is
also q husband. a father. He
is a graduate Of Fordham
Law School. He is a religious
Jew. None of these things
qualify him for promotion.
His qualification is having
fine judicial talents. He
doesn't need any other.
SOME PEOPLE remember
Judge Kaufman as the man
who sentenced Mr.. and Mrs.
Julius Rosenberg to die.
That was one Of many, many
cases in which Judge Kauf-
mans opinion was not re-
versed, but it is the one
which the world Of Commu-
nism has stamped on his
forehead for all to see. He is
their permanent pigeon.
The thing he did in that
case required cast iron for
titude. The reporter who COW
cred the story said that
Judge Kaufman went to his
temple to pray. that he
sought divine guidance at
home, that once. in his room,
he fell in a dead faint over
the enormity Of his duty.
But he did 1t. He said the
words that had to be said.
That was eight years ago.
A year ago, the chance for
promotion came. The vacan-
cy was there. In spite of the
fact that Judge Kaufman
is a Democrat, his name
brought applause from both
sides of the House and Sem
ate. Congressman and Sena-
tors fell over each other in
dorsing Irving kaufman for
the promotion.
His name was never sent
to the Senate for confirma-
ton. In the field of practical
politics. the nominees for
promotion come from Attor-
ney General William Rogers.
Sometimes there is one
name. Sometimes there are
several. These names are
presented to the President of
the United States. He picks

one and sends It to the SEN
ate. where hearings are held
before a committee. and the
nominee is Endorsed or de-
nounced.
Judge Kaufman's name
did not get to the President.
II is possible--in the field Of
practical politics-that At
torney General Rogers said:
We're a Republican Admin
istration. There are a lot Of
good eligible Republicans.
Let Kaufman wait for a
Democratic Administration"
It's possible.
AND IF the Attorney
General said that. no one
can blame him. There is
but one vacancy on the
Court Of Appeals and 1t may
be ridiculous to expect a Re-
publican to hand 1t to a
Democrat. But this nominal
ton transcends party poll
tics. BY not giving the pro-
motion to Judge kaufman,
we are. in effect. telling the
Soviet Union that their CAM
paign Of vituperation against
Judge Kaufman-that he was
a poor Judge of evidence and
that the Rosenbergs we're not
guilty as charged-has paid
of and that we will now
punish him for them.
A. Washington newspaper
reporter. Roger Stuart, wrote:
Foremost is a high-level at
tempt to withhold from Fed
eral District Judge Irving
Kaufman the one available
appointment to the Appeals
Court. Judge kaufman,
highly regarded as a jurist,
has received strong backing
for promotion"
The Attorney General has
buried the name Of kaufman
and busted of the name Of
Henry j. Friendly. Mr..
Friendly is a well-known and
well-liked New York attorney.
He is counsel for Pan Amer
lean Always. He has no ex-
perience as a Federal judge.
Two months ago, Fordham
University. a Jesuit institu-
ton. gave to Irving r. Kauf-
man its achievement award
in law. 1t was presented to
the Judge in the Waldorf AS
toria Hotel as 1900 alumni
-laymen and priests-Stood
in tribute to the little man
who has never forsaken the
faith Of his forefathers.

helpful to you. He used to
say: 'Never forget that
cheap things often turn out
to be dear" AS I grew I
learned how right he was.
It's true for intangibles as
well as tangibles.
For example. consider your
health problem. You have
practically decided on the
hypnotist rather than the
psychiatrist because "he is
clever" I'd suggest that you
find a clever psychiatrist in
stead. You may pay more
but it may be cheaper in the
end.
Doctors are beginning to
recognize the value of hypno-
tism when indicated. How
ever. don't put your health
into the hands of a nom
medical hypnotist.

opening lead: King OF hearts
West opened the king OF
hearts, continued with the ace
Of hearts, and then led the jack
Of hearts. East discarded q low
club and my feathered friend
in the South position ruffed,
South drew two rounds Of
trumps, cashed the ace Of clubs,
and then led q club toward
dummy. West discarded q heart
and South began to twitter and
futter. 1t was a pretty sight,
but 1t had no effect on our
hard-hearted opponents. East
was sure to get a club trick, and
South was down one.
Now let's see what counting
has to do with all this. South
rufus the third heart and draws
one round Of trumps. Well and
good. Now he takes the top
spades, rufus a spade with a
high trump. gets to dummy
with the jack Of diamonds
drawing the trumps in the
process, and rufus dummy's
last spade.
Stlll Needs Finesse
South still needs the club
fineSSe to make his contract.
The difference is that he need
not guess how to take it. East
could follow to only two hearts
and only two diamonds. Each
opponent had exactly four
spades. This accounts for only
eight Of East's IS cards. The
other five cards simply have
to be clubs. South knows that
East has five Of the missing six
clubs. 1t is therefore quite safe
to draw Vests singleton club
with dummy's king and then
lead through East for a fineSse.

What do you bid?
Answer: One heart. You have

should count several additional
