Court Upholds Denial
Of Passport to Rep.
ChaS. Porter of Oregon

WASHINGTON, R-The u. S.
Court of Appeals upheld the State
Departments denial of a pass
port to Rep. Charles o. Porter Cd
Ore) to travel in Red China.
A three-judge panel of the APP
pellate Court unanimously re-
jected Porter's contention that as
a member of Congress he has
right to go anywhere in the world
except in time of war or emer-
gency.
The court said the case did not
involve any conflict between op-
posing claims of constitutional
powers of the legislative and ex-
ecutive branches of government.
Porter contends there is such a
conflict.
The litigation arose when Por-
ter applied last June for permits
sion to visit Red China. His ap-
plication was denied and he car
ried the case to court.
Porter advocates movement of
this country toward diplomatic
recognition of Red China, saying
his aim is not forgiveness but
simply to establish communica-
ton"

WASHINGTON, R-The U. S.
Court of Appeals rejected a move
by Transfers Union President
James r. Hoffa to GUST Martin F.
O'Donoghue as chairman of a

Opening lead: Nine of hearts.
West opened the nine of
hearts, and South counted los
ers. No losers in clubs, since he
could ruff in dummy. No losers
in diamonds, since he could ruff
in his own hand. South thought
he could we'll afford to lose
three trumps and two hearts.
Hence, South nonchalantIy
flnessed dummy's queen of
hearts at the first trick. This
play cost him the contract.
East won with the king Of
hearts and returned his trump.
West took three top trumps and
led his last trump. clearing the
suit.
Suddenly some OF South's
winners had evaporated. He
could get one trump, one heart,
two diamonds and two clubs.
Down two.
Fatal Finesse
South can see that the heart
flnesse is fatal If he counts WIN
ners. He has five top cards in
the side suits and needs three
trump tricks to make the con-
tract. A cross-ruff is the best
play for three trump tricks.
If South intends to ruff In
both hands he must not allow
the opponents to lead trumps.
Therefore he must not finesse
at the first trick.
Declarer takes the first trick
with dummy's ace of hearts,
cashes his top cards in the side
suits and begins the cross-ruff.
He ruffs the first time in each
hand with a low trump, and
thereafter in dummy with the
eight or nine. Even II dummy's
second ruff can be over-ruffed,
South will still win three trump
tricks-and his contract.

Church. Bruce c. Ennis, presi-
dent of Asbury Methodist Youth
Fellowship, gave a talk on ju-
venile delinquency, saying that
"it is real and it is growing"
His talk was based on reports
and statistics of the Federal
Bureau of Investigation. Juven-
lie delinquency in the 1905 and
l920's referred to minor wanda
lism and petty larceny, he said.
Today, in the SOS, juvenile de-
linquency refers to robbery, as

 UnificatiOn Asked In New House Bill

WASHINGTON, R = Complete unification of the Army, Navy and Air Force would be ordered by a bill prepared for House intro duction today.
 Its author claimed it would save three billion dollars or more year.
 The author is Rep. Frank Ko- walki D-Conn), a retired Army colonel and persistent critic of what he calls waste and misuse of manpower in the armed serv- ices.
 "The old, taken-for-g granted dis tinctions between land, sea and air warfare have been obliterated by today's awesome weapons :" Kowalski said in an accompany ing statement. q realize fully the drastic nature of the bill, but the failure of a whole series of so- called congratulations is plain"
 The legislation would create a single defense force under a ci- william secretary with command authority subject only to the President.
 The Joint Chiefs of Staff = made up of the present service chiefs plus chairman = would be abolished, and the post of Dep uty Secretary, to be filled by a career military officer, would be created.
 Instead of land, sea and air forces, the military would be grouped into nine functional branches, each headed by chief answerable directly to the Sec retary of Defense. The branches would be designated combat, pro- gram, personnel, development, proc cure m n t, transportation, training, inspection and service.

3-Day Lake Erie Ride Will Test New Air Force Election Seat Capsule

DUNK1RKEN, N. Y., R = The Air Force will put an airman afloat for 72 hours on ice-rimmed Lake Erie beginning tomorrow.
 He'll be enclosed in an experi- mental capsule, designed to pro- tect crew members forced to eject from high-speed aircraft. The cap sule is planned for the super sonic B-58 Hustler.
 Tests using dummy have been under way since Thursday off this lakeside city, about 40 miles southwest of Buffalo.
 One of two men from Wright Paterson Air Force Base will fill the capsule. 1T/Sgt. Jimmy Graves of Hartman, Tex. or Airman 1/c Bruce Barwise of Bovey, Minn., have been selected.
 The Air Force said it will test survival capability of the cap- sule, its equipment, mobility, and other related factors. The capsule would operate like the present aircraft election seat escape sys- tenn, but the airman would be sealed in as he is parachuted to earth.
 The capsule will be tethered to a Coast Guard ship aiding the operation. The tests are a contin- uation of water tests last year off Key West, Fla.

Kennedy Opens Campaign Battle in New Hampshire; Blasts Primary Slackers

NASHUA, N. H., JlR = Senator John Kennedy hit the campaign trail in New Hampshire today and criticized other Democratic Presidential aspirants for staying out of state primary elections.
 Primary contests not only edu- cate the public, they educate the candidate as we'll" Kennedy said. q regret that more candi- dates in both parties will not join me here in that discussion"
 New Hampshire holds the na- tion's first primary on March g..
 Kennedy said that in addition to this primary he is going into five or six other" state elections. He is already entered in Wisoon- sin, Nebraska and Oregon. And l intend to make up my mind about two others in the next few weeks," he said.
 He did not identify the other two states. However, it is pos sible that California, with a mass i've 81 delegate votes in the na- tional convention, may be one of the two states.
 Kennedy said that after Adlai Stevenson's sweeping vi ory in the California primary in 1856 it was inevitable" that he would be the Presidential nominee.
 He said the same thing was true after General Eisenhower's victory in the New Hampshire primary in 1852.

 He cautioned that his office will make closer check this year of dividend and interest items as part of the nationwide Internal Revenue Service program to close the $5-billion gap in unreported dividends and interest.
