Castro regime by permitting
the export Of non-strategic
goods to Cuba.
While most Of the press
in Great Britain has ap-
proved the action Of the
United States in severing
relations with the Cuban
government, there are dis
senting editorials which say
it's a matter that should
have been left to the Ken
nedy administration to de-
eide or that it's likely to
play into Castro's hands.
The only thing that will
aid Castro and the Com

Of our Allies to support the
American governments re-
strained policies in dealing
with its neighbors in this
hemisphere. Britain once
did not see eye-to-eye with
another President Of the
United States-Franklin D.
Roosevelt-when he made
his great speech in 1887
calling for a quarantine Of
the Hitler-MuSSolini block.

an oil embargo against Italy

less because commercial in
terests in Western Europe
blocked 1t.
The same mistake was
made with respect to stra-
tegic materials and mu-
nitions by some Western
governments which allowed
such goods to be exported to
Hitler up to a few months
before the outbreak Of the
Second World War in 1899.
Unless the Allies stick to-
gether, there Is danger the
potential enemy will again
take advantage of such dis
sension. The United States
is cooperating with her AL
lies in making policies in
Laos and the Congo. and 1t
would seem that the West

their efforts to strengthen
the hand Of America in the
present period Of strained
relations with Cuba.

Dragon Hendrix therefore

Now, this is important for

that Bill Hendrix has been

well. He would not be getting

realities in the new struggle

us to the second point.
1t is that the real criminal
element is getting a foothold

have always been in it and

Irrespective of party poll

in a few words the true

the United States in self

day such a misguided atti-
tude of misinterpretation can
set off a chain of events that
would bring a severance OF
diplomatic relations between
the governments Of the United
States and the Soviet Union.
BY withdrawing recogni-

ANCHORAGE tR - Former Ja- panese Premier Nobusuke Kishi stopped here yesterday on his way to a first-hand look at Europe and various trouble spots.
 As he did, aiisa he fired a blast at the Communists "who are at. the bottom of all the present world situations" and especially at Rus sian First Deputy Premier Anastas Mikoyan, who also left Japan to- day after rousing speeches de- nouncing America and some .Ja- panese.
 Mikoyan was scheduled to come to Japan for non-political visit, Kishi said. Instead he shocked the Japanese people, using threats of violence, and he did not make any friends"
 Kishi is making the European tour, stopping first in Switzer- land. He will then go to other capitals, presumably Berlin, as a member of the Japanese Diet, a post he did not lose when re- signing.

 Two U. s. tanks. guarded by riflemen, appeared at the Fried rich-Strasse crossing point, the one the East German Communists have assigned to all foreigners who want to enter East Berlin. There was also an arrnored per sonnel carrier in view
 Armor was operating with the 2nd Battle Group, U. s. 9th h. fantry, winch calls itself the "Go- Go-Guardians."
 The move was an obvious ef- fort to show West Berliners that the Allies are raising military fist each time the Eastern Reds turn on more pressure.
 Hundreds of West Berliners were attracted to the border.
 The streets of East Berlin were relatively empty for such a sec tion of great city. Police and troops stood idly on almost every street corner.

Theft of Duke of
 Wellington Portrait Baffles British Police

LONDON tR = Detectives be- lieve that the thief who stole the 1892, ,000 Goya portrait of the Duke of Wellington hid with it for more than i2 hours in Britain's National Gallery, then walked out with it under a topcoat or in a briefcase.
 The 18th Century masterpiece was taken from it's place in the gallery Monday night. The theft was discovered Tuesday after the gallery opened.
 The head and chest portrait of the Iron Duke, Britain's victor at Waterloo, was last seen by the gallery's security guards at TAO p. m. A guard noticed it was gone and reported, but it was thought | it had been moved to another part of the building since the fragile panel on which it was painted was due for repair Investigators theorized that the thief hid himself inside the gall lery just before closing time. From his hiding place he timed the movements of the five night security guards. Then he nipped out when the room was empty, grabbed the painting and scurried back to his hiding place. When the gallery filled with visitors ir
 the morning. he calmly walked
 out with his loot.
 The painting measured 251z b.
 201z inches, small enough to g i into an oversize kriefcase or un

Opening lead: Heart queen.
South was a careful player,
so he thought before he won
the first trick. If he won the
first trick in his own hand he
might never get back to cash
the ace of spades.
Avoiding the first trap, de-
clarer won the first trick in
dummy with the king of hearts.
What next?
1t looked a bit complicated,
but South thought he could
save time by leading out
dummy's ace of clubs while
he thought things over. This
timesaver cost him the con-
tract.
How to Continue?
How can declarer continue?
If he leads the jack of clubs
from dummy, East refuses the
trick. Then the king Of spades
must be, saved in dummy as
an entry to the rest of the
clubs. This means that South
never wins a trick with the
ace of spades. ~
Start over again. You must
win the first trick in dummy
with the king of hearts, cash
the king of spades and then
lead the jack of clubs from
dummy. This assures the con-
tract.
If East refuses the first club
trick, his best defense, you lead
the ten of clubs to make him
take the queen. You still have
a club in your hand to reach
dummy for the rest of the
long suit. and you have the
ace of hearts in your hand
as entry to the ace of spades.
You are sure to win two spades,
two hearts and five club tricks.
1t doesn't really save time
to play first and think later.
Do your thinking first.
