Whether my letters and your
willingness to print them shall
offer any improvement in social
relations in our community IS
something that probably cannot
be measured. But motivation for
better and more general educa-
ton for all of our citizens may
be given considerable impetus by
a full realization of the serious
responsibility of one citizen to-
ward another and without regard
for race or religion.

1atures; they are always willing
and able to supply speakers at
Rotary Club luncheons, etc.; and
lastly, and most dangerously of
all, they WELD a tremendous
amount of economic control and
power in the vast majority OF
Mississippi communities.
Although suspicious, but never
overt evidence, of occasional IN
cidents of violence (such as
mysterious accidents occurring
to Negroes following attempts
to register to vote) have attached
themselves to the Council, Its
upper-echelon policy has always
been one of non-violence. Com
pared to the strength and effect
iveness of this group, the ku
Klux Khan appears as an IN
efficient, disorganized assortment
of low-life rabble rousers.
The Council is composed, for
the most part, of group OF
people of much higher social
and economic level than that re-
presented in the Klans. Mr.. Car
ter states that, according to
William Simmons, state admin
istrator and editor of THE CHI
ZENS COUNCIL, ''The Jackson
Citizens Council board OF dl-
rectors includes 8 lawyers, z
bank presidents, 3 manufacturers,
/ gas utility president, l electric
utility executive vice-president,
9 paper company owners, :" etc.
These men are not about to
run around at night in white
sheets burning Negro novels, nor
are they about to make incendl-
arv speeches to lynch mobs. But
thew are in an excellent position
to grant or withhold credit or
other services and literally to
make it financially impossible
for anyone who disagrees with
them to hold his own in any
given community.
Thus, though often unobtru-
sively and in highly legal man
ner. they can and do control the
overall climate of opinion and
action in Mississippi.
With the advent of the Cltl-
zens' Council in this state, the
moderate. the liberal, has virtu-
allv vanished from sight and
sound, and the forces of negatlon
and reaction have taken over =
not only defying the law OF the
land, and the statement which
reads 'liberty and justice for ALL,
but also functioning in happy
ignorance of the facts of anthro-
BIOLOGY and the fact that it is I'M
possible forever to prevent pro-
gress.
The only thing we can at pre-
sent hope in the state OF MIS-
sissippi is that eventually, fin
allv. after many, many long and
dogged years, the boys with their
fingers in the dyke will get so
tired and cold and hungry that
they will just give up and 60
home.

feel superior to others and to
protect an economic position.
I cannot, however, understand
how an American can honestly
sacrifice the future of his coun-
try by adhering to out-moded
traditional ideas which have no
place in our modern world.
This modern world, with Africa
and Asia only few hours away,
and representing thousands OF
millions of people who are de-
sirous of their freedom just as
we are, is one that demands hon
esty, forthrightness, fair play and
truth from every one in America.

social contact, and the tendency
to segregate and discriminate
against them is understood But
the same is true of all people =
if we are t ODE fair and honest
about it.
Our duty seems crystal clear
to improve this lot and to make
them more worthy for acceptance
to society, rather than discard
them to the hopeless abyss of
negligence, intolerance and even
hatred.

Opening lead: Four of spades.
At the last national tourna-
ment. held in Los Angeles O
flew months ago. this hand
come along in one Of the team
matches. Edgar Kaplan, my
partner. opened the North hand
with q weak two-bid in dia-
monds. setting the stage for O
bit Of larceny.
The weak two-bid, used by
most Of the top-ranking tour
nament experts, shows q good
six-card suit in q hand that is
not quite worth q normal OPEN
ing bid. It wasn't hard for me
to see, with the South hand,
that the hand belonged" to the
opponents.
This Is q. very important idea
for rubber bridge as well as for
tournaments. A hand belongs to
your side when you have most
Of the strength; you should aim
for 0 plus score in such q case.
The hand belongs to the OPP
ponents when they have most
of the strength: your ambition
on such hands is to keep the
loss as low as possible.
Psychic Response
My response Of two no-trump
was psychic. since it indicated
q serious interest In game even
though my partner had an
nounced a hand of less than
opening strength. There was no
chance of getting away with
this If either opponent had an
overpowering hand, but II the
high cards were divided each
opponent might credit me with
his partners strength.
AS the cards lay, West should
have spoken up at once. A dou-
BILE would have worked like q
police whistle. When West kept
silent. North made his normal
raise to game.
The defenders could have
taken the first nine tricks, but
1t wouldn't have helped them.
They couldn't collect enough at
so points per trick to make up
for the vulnerable game that
we had talked them out Of.
Actually. the spade opening
lead gave me the first eight
tricks. It was a pleasure to
give up only SO points to my
opponents instead Of the $40
they could have earned for bid
ding and making four hearts.

Partner opens with one no.

the next player passes. You
hold:
AXIS VIZ oAQ10S73 %754
What do you bid?
Answer: Three no-trump.
The combined count in high
cards should be at least rs
points, easily enough for game.
It should be easier to make
nine tricks at no-trump than
II tricks at diamonds.
