although no one could have had

The dramatic truth about

that everything that has hap

correlative that none of its

Iyond Mr.. Hart's corrective

about his ability to direct one

fessed as much to this corner
Given the work of some one

Opening lead: Ten Of spades.
The hand comes from Fred
Karpin's new book, Psychic
logical Strategy in Contract
Bridge" and illustrates q fib
told by the author himself.
AS soon as North raised dia-
monds. Karpin knew that he
wanted to get to game or slam
in diamonds. Any good bridge
player would come to the same
conclusion.
Karpin went one step fur
ther. He knew that he didn't
want q club opening lead. He
bid clubs to stop the lead.
How It Sounded
See how the bidding sounded
to West. Apparently South was
hoping for q slam in diamonds.
South showed" the ace of
clubs by bidding four clubs,
apparently hoping that this in
formation would be enough to
urge his partner on.
It seemed foolish to West to
lead into declarer's strength.
Nobody had bid spades. so West
led that suit.
There was no problem after
that opening lead. East could
take his two aces but nothing
else.
II South had bid spades, tell
ing the truth about his hand,
West might have opened the
queen Of clubs. Then South
would go down two.
Some bridge players have
such high moral principles
that they would never dream of
making q deceptive bid. Such
players should stay away from
Karpin's new book; they might
be tempted to change their
minds.

Answer: Bid one heart. You

OTTAWA. - What scientists
would call q major break Through
has occurred suddenly and dra-
matically in relations between the
Canadian government and the
government Of the Province Of
Quebec.
AS one commentator put 1t,
Quebec has rejoined Canada"
What happened was an out-of-
the-blue proposal by the new Que
bee Premier, Jean Lesage, that a
federal-provincial conference be
held to fashion a method for
amending all Of the Canadian
Constitution in Canada.
The Canadian constitution is
the British North America Act Of
1867. which is legislation of the
British Parliament, plus amend
ing acts also by the Parliament
at Westminster.
Ever since Canada achieved ef-
fective independence through the
Statute of Westminster in 1881,
Canada has been the only SOW
ereign state in the world that did
not have the power to amend its
own constitution. That power re-
manned in London. And with the
rapid growth of Canadian nation
alism over the last two decades,
this situation ranked with more
and more Canadians. In recent
years there has even been a tend
ency to treat it as a family secret;

altered, that in it's original form
might have gutted the bill. There
were charges of a more rabble-
rousing nature: That Kefauver
regularly deserted Dixie" was a
one-worlder. and shook hands
with Negroes.
Judge Taylor was vigorous in
his criticism of the civil rights
stand Of the National Democratic
platform. Senator Kefauver said
only that it went little too far.
Hence, the overwhelming support
which the Senator received was
reinsurance to the Democrats that
Southerners would take real
istic" attitude in their voting this
year.
In Michigan, the Democrats
found good new vote-setter in

primary predictions by winning
easily over two older and more ex-
perienced rivals. His Republican
opponent will be Paul D. Bagwell,

Quebec 'Rejoins' Canada

in front of strangers. especially
Americans.
DupIessis' Role
If one man can be held respon-
sible for this gross anomaly, it is
the late Premier Maurice Du-
plessis Of Quebec. The British
would gladly have surrendered the
amending authority to the Ca
madam Parliament long ago. In
fact, 10 years ago the British
Parliament enacted an amend
ment, at the request Of Canada.
to give the Canadian Parliament
authority to amend the constitu-
tion IN matters of purely federal
concern, and to give the provincial
legislatures the right to amend
the constitution in matters Of
purely provincial concern.
But Mr.. Duplessis was adamant
concerning important matters of
joint federal-provincial jurisdic-
ton. He had devoted his whole
political career to building up the
bogey of encroachment on French
Quebec's rights by a federal Par
lament and government controlled
by the English-speaking majority.
He had cast himself in the role
of defender of Quebec's rights.
Mr.. Duplessis refused to agree to
domiciling full powers of consti-
tutional amendment in Canada on
the argument that to do so would
give the federal Parliament fur
ther opportunity to infringe on
provincial rights.

Some Congo Facts

The newly independent ma
tiOn called Congo, currently
torn by internal violence, seces-
sion and tribal warfare, presents
an almost incredible problem
for United Nations solution.
Here are some of the facts of
life in this once orderly and
productive African land:
GOVERNMENT: Probably the
largest in the world, with not
a single official more than
slightly trained or experienced
in administration. To propiti-
ate jealous tribal rivalries,
there are ministers of cabinet
rank for almost everything.
They total % at the top level.
There are 10 secretaries of
state.
POLICE AND COURTS: The
Force Publique. a native militia
trained by the Belgians,
mutinied and all but disinte-
grated Immediately after indie
pendence was proclaimed. No
courts have been established
to take over the administra-
tion of justice from the Bel
gian colonial officials, whose
rule was absolute.
UTILITIES: Electricity, commu-
nications, transport and other
essential services have lost
