Opening lead: Ace Of clubs.
West opened the ace Of clubs
and East naturally discarded
the ace of diamonds. West
continued with the queen OF
clubs to dummy's king and
East naturally discarded the
ace Of spades.
This simple defense wrecked
South's normal contract OF
three no-trump.
West Had Entries
Now West had entries to the
rest Of his established club suit
II South tried to develop spades
West would get in with the
jack Of spades. and If South
tried to go after the diamonds
West would gain the lead with
THE queen of diamonds Either
way he would take enough club
tricks to defeat the contract
Are you wondering why il
was natural" for East to throw
away his two aces? Or why IL
was normal" for South to bid
three no-trump without a sim
gle club in his hand? Just
read the first sentence again
and then look at today's date.

Answer: One heart. Don't
dream of making a shutout bid
with two aces and q void suit.
Aces and shutouts don't mix.

IdxExempfiOn
OF Stun Fund
Gifts in Doubt

The Internal Revenue serv-
IT, Is taking q second look at
non-profit organizations formed
10 spark Stun clearance and
netghbor hood rehabilitation
programs.
~ Is not sure that contribu-
lions 10 these outfits are de-
ductible from income taxes.
The subject came 10 atten-
ton when IRIS headquarters
discovered that a Seattle
urban renewal enterprise re-
quested but did not receive tax
exemption customarily received
In such cases.
The basic law requires evil
deIice Of citizen participation.
Through the contributions re-
ceived. such organizations help
70 create interest in blighted
ereas.
Slows Donations
Naturally, the contributions
would be slowed down to a
tg.ickle II the donors lacked the
assurance that the amounts
nlven were tax deduotibIe.
All IRIS will say now Is that
the Seattle application is being
held in allegiance pending con-
sideration of new regulations
dealing with the tax deducti-
bility Of contributions to chari-
table and educational organi-
cations.
Under a new law. records Of
organizations granted tax ex-
emptions are open to public in
spection and now IRIS Is taking
1t slow in granting new organi-
cations tax freedom.
Religious. charitable. scien-
tific and educational organiza-
tions generally seek contrihu-
tons from the public and sub
sequent tax exemptions.
But these outfits also include,
according to a draft of new reg
ulations issued February 26,
groups designed to lessen
neighborhood tensions; to elm
mate prejudice and discrimina-
ton. to defend human rights by
law, and combat community
deterioration and Juvenile de-
linquency."
Delay Protested
When Senator Jackson,
Democrat of Washington. pro-
tested the delay in the Seattle
case, IRIS merely recited all the
circumstances of the case. The
Senator said there were a num-
Der of similar organizations
that have been approved for
exemption.
If the Seattle group is
deemed ineligible. many or all
Of the others will have to have
their tax exempt status re-
voked and the whole urban re-
newal program will be placed
in serious jeopardy.

Recently the Vice President of

about this statement he said that

that people of so many different

Of course, we have people here

Dear Mr.. East:
We have been wading through
your gruesome solumn, "a Mod
est Proposal To Dixieland", issue
of July 80. 1t is very dark and
foul-smelling. AS one feels his
way through the darkness he has
a feeling some black monster is
going to snap at him.
OF course we get it's meaning.
Not only is it gruesome picture
of local conditions, but, spiritual
ly, of conditions generally. The
article leaves one with no way
out, no escape, no plan of REDEEM
sion or regeneration.
You have tackled a mighty big
job to clean up. One that must
begin at the roots, and it will
take a long time. The disease has
permeated the whole of christen-
dom as for that matter.
The following article will ex-
plain my reason for writing you:
"A QUESTION 200 YEARS OLD
From an article written by J..
M. Alley. entitled as above and
published in the Dec. issue of
Nations Business. l947. we quote
as follows:
After great social convulsion
comes a period of decadence
while men seek new values to re-
place those they have lost. Every
important new general idea. as
Professor Whitehead has obser-
we'd. is danger to the existing
order. The whole bundle of it's
conceivable special ernbodiments
in various usages of society con-
stitute program of reform. AT
any moment the smoldering un-
happiness of mankind may seize
upon some such program and in
itiate period of rapid change
guided by the light of it's doc
trines."
To-day we find ourselves. like
the Europeans of the 18th CEN
fury. in time of historical in
terregnum. We are m o l Y
stranded. as it were. between a
world that has died and world
that is not yet born. 1t is not
possible to perceive that what is
still designated in our schools as
Modern History came to COM
plete end with the first world
war"
I'VE may suppose then that our
crisis will continue until some
harmonious view of God. the uni
verse and man is restored to our
minds and with it the sense OF
purpose to our lives. How long
this will require. what future
terrors must first be endured. IS
something that no man can safe
" predict. Nor can anyone say
what shape the world vision
now in making will assume. but
il is possible that the contrast
that we have already noted be-
tween our own moral values and
those of our great grand parents
may afford some key"
THE strange attraction. that
Marxist Communism has held un-
til recently for 50 many well-fed
and prosperous Americans. who
have no material greviences
against their society. is applicable
only in these terms: they suppos-
ed it to represent the new world
vision. the wave Of the future.

les, because it keeps us from see-
ing things as they really are?
Guy Murchie in his "Song Of
The Sky" mentions that histor-
ian once said that "of the first
century. AID. history remembers
twenty-seven names. And only a
few more in the entire first mill
enium! Even tho new ancient
names have probably been dug up
since, in the conscious records of
man how certain it is that you
and I are destined to oblivion"
Even as leaves on the trees and
cells in the body.
what profits us then to wager
for glory on earth for renown
between year "X" and year "Y"
on the time clock? To the under
standing of infinity any hour is
zero. For infinity divided by a
number (of hours, years, cen
turies) remains importurbably
zero"
I'm still looking for an answer,
or listening.
