Opening lead: Heart 10
Put yourself in the South
seat. playing a contract of six
hearts. West opens the ten
of trumps, and you have to
pick the best line Of play.
When the hand was actually
played, South drew three
rounds Of trumps and then
finessed the queen Of spades.
West won with the king and
got out safely with a spade.
South took the ace Of spades,
cashed the top clubs and
ruffed a club. hoping the suit
would break 3-3. When it
didn't, he ruffed a spade in
dummy and tried the diamond
finesSe.
This finesse lost also. and
South was down one. Ter
rible luck" he complained.
Everything went wrong, but
I certainly adopted the best
line Of play"
Revealing Lead
South missed the story told
by the opening lead. When
does a player lead a trump
against a small slam? Ger
tainly not if he has a singleton
or void suit. Quite possibly
because he doesn't want to lead
away from a valuable card in
a side suit, such as a king.
In other words. West was
likely to have kings and very
unlikely to be short in clubs.
This was a matter of bridge
rather than cold mathematics.
Based on this information,
the right line Of play is clear.
Win the first trump, cash two
clubs and ruff a low club with
the ace Of trumps. Draw two
more trumps and ruff another
club to establish dummy's last
card of that suit.
Now you can cash the ace
of spades and give up a spade.
You reach dummy by ruff1ng
your last spade in time to
discard the queen of diamonds
on the good club. Twelve tricks
are thus assured.
Daily Question
Partner opens with one
spade, and the next player
passes. You hold:
A1o987 " 1J1O962 &10s65
What do you say?
Answer: Bid two spades.
The value Of void side suite is
five points when you have four
trumps in support Of partner.
Hence the full value Of your
hand is six points. This is
skimpy for a raise, but there is
great value in raising a barrier
against the opponents to COM
plicate their bidding task.

There are about 1000 Prot
estant missionaries in the
strife-torn Congo but by today
not one has been harmed, says
the Rev. Theodore L. Tucker
of the National Council Of
Churches in New York.
The Rev. Mr.. Tucker, who is
executive secretary of the
Africa Committee of the Coun-
ellis division of foreign mis-
sions, also said that most of
the 1900 American Protestant
missionaries are remaining at
their posts in the Congo.
He made his report after
rounding up messages coming
by cable, shortwave and by
telephone to mission board Of
ceS, the State Department and
ham operators along the At
lantic Seaboard.
Although none had been
harmed, according to the Rev.
Mr.. fuckers reports, there were
at least 200 in trouble. An
American physician, DR.. Mark
Poole, radioed Washington that
$50 Americans, mostly mis-
Evening star., 1960-07-13

said several stations there had
been evacuated and the mis-
sionaries and their children
taken to Luluabourg and Ka-
panga to await possible remov-
| al by airplane. Missionaries
in that area. he said, had
been hampered for several
weeks by marauding bands,
which resulted from a struggle
between the Lulua and Baluba
tribes.
Among the encouraging re-
ports received by Mr.. Tucker:
Some MethodistS who left
Elisabethville for Northern
Rhodesia were returning.
Methodist Bishop John M.
Springer, 86, who started work
in Katanga so years ago. re-
fused to leave his station.
Methodist Bishop Newell
Booth cabled from Leopoldvllle
that he and others were safe
there.
Baptist missionaries in Leo
poldville and the Lower Congo
were all reported safe and re-
manning at their stations.
The Congo inland mission
operated by the Mennonites
was presumed safe. but the
Ubangi mission of the Equator
province. operated by the Mis-
sion Covenant Church, was
moving temporarily to Bangui
in the Central African Re-
public.
Groups Are Listed
Most of the American mis-
sionaries in the strife-torn area
are Protestants. The mission
secretariat Of the National
Catholic Welfare Conference
listed two, but the Franciscan
Missionary of Mary in New
York said one Of those had re-
turned a year ago.

The argument made by leg
islative employees and members
of Congress in favor Of the new
law is that the previous sys-
tenn was unrealiStic. They say
it was contrary to any other
pension system in the country
for the computation rate to
decline after is years of Serv-
ice.
Furthermore, they argue
that since the tenure Of en-
ployment or Office on Capitol
Hill is less certain than that in
Government, a more liberal re-
tirement system is justified for
them.
Federal employe leaders do
not begrudge legislative en-
ployes and members of Con-
gress their new hberalized re-
tirement system. They feel 1t
will aid all Government work
ers in the long run by provid-
ing a strong case for similar
treatment.
AS far as tenure of employ
ment is concerned, they point
to the fact that many career
civil service employees lose their
jobs through reductions-in-
force brought about by a cut in
appropriations, reorganizations
and the farming out Of Gov
ernment activities to private
industry.

THE FEDERAL SPOTLIGHT
Congress Increases
Its Own Annuities

law signed by President Eisenhower gives members

before the recess.

ization in retirement annuities
for the rest of tht Governments
employees.
Members Of Congress and
legislative employees already
had a more liberal retirement
system than other Government
workers. The new law makes
their benefits even more liberal.
Under the previous system,
members of Congress and legis-
lative employees had their SAL
aries computed on the basis of
2.5 per cent for the first Is
years Of service, is per cent on
the next five years, It's per
cent on the next five years,
and 2 per cent on all service
after Is years.
Under the new law, there will
still be a 2.5 per cent computa-
tion on the first Is years Of
service. However, all service in
excess Of Is years will be COM
puted on a 2 per cent basis.
Consequently. the annuitieS will
be considerably greater.
In addition. members of Con-
gresS for the first time will have
a chance to apply the 2.5 per
cent computation rate on years
OF service in excess of IS If
these years include prior mill
tary and Government service
and legislative employment.
Military service counts for up
to a maximum Of five years
and prior congressional en-
ployment can be counted up to
five years.
For example, a member who
has been in Congress for Is
years, and who has four years
prior military service and six
years service as a legislative
employe. can have his annuity
computed at 2.5 per cent for
25 years service.
y Legislative employees 2.5 per
cent computation is still lin
tied to Is years of service, in
cluding past military or Gov
ernment or member service.
However, all other factors
aside, allowing a 2 per cent
computation rate in any event
after Is years service-instead
Of after 10 additional years of
service-will give more gener-
Gus annuities to members of
Congress and legislative en-
ployes..
Federal employe annuities
are computed on a basis of
is per cent for the first five
years service, Its per cent for
the next five years and 2 per
cent on all service over 10
years.
The new law doesn't raise
the rate Of employe or mem
Der contribution-7.5 per cent
Of salary for members of Con-
gress and 6.5 per cent of SAL
ary for legislative employees.
Federal employees pay 6.5 per
cent.

so Plea for Rescue
A radio operator at Nairobi
in Kenya heard that more than
so American missionaries and
their families were besieged by
Negro soldiers in the town Of
Aketi. 200 miles north of STAN
leyville, and had appealed to
the White House for rescue.
The Americans at Aketi said
they were exhausted and many
were without food. they added
that they were barricaded in
their houses with II loyal Con-
golese and said there were
l 800 rioting rebels in the area.
Mr.. Tucker said that of the
1000 Protestant missionaries,
1900 were Americans, 500
British and 800 Scandinavians.
Reports from Stanleyville, he
continued, were confused with
some concerning excavations.
The interdenominational At
rica Inland Mission in that
area said more than $50 mis-
sionaries were still on duty,
only one station had been evac-
uated and that it's personnel
we're returning to it. That re-
port came to Mr.. Tucker from

mission.

University.
Another recommendation ap-
proved by the delegates calls
for the juriSdictional confer
ences, now held every four
years after the General Confer
ence to take place either be-
fore or simultaneously with the
latter. 1t provides further that
the minimum number of dele
gates be 300 and the maximum
400.
Conference Must Approve
All the recommendations so
far approved are still subject
to a two-thirds approval Of the
delegates to the General Con-
ference. If it is approved the
recommendations then 60 to
the 102 annual conferences Of
the church, and two-thirds of
these bodies must approve them
before they become a part of
the Methodist Church Consti-
tuition.
The conference today ap-
proved a world service goal of
$50 million, SIS million a year
for the next four years for the
qua drennium 1864. The
money to be raised by the
church will support its mis-
Sions' educational and philan-
thropic programs.
The new world service budget
includes expected payments of
$250,000 a year for the next
four years to American Univer-
sity. In 1856 the General Con-
ference for the first time in its
history set payments of $780,
600 a year for four years to
further the schools program.
The action today Is regarded
by delegates as an Endorsement
OF American University's work.
