expert; Andrew Gabrilovitch, of
Silver Spring, resumes play this
afternoon in a three-cornered
contest for the national bridge
team championship.
His teammates, Edwin Kan
tar and Marshal Miles of Los
Angeles, and william Root of
New York, won their way to the
finals by eliminating another
Washington team that included
william Christian, Paul Kibler,
both Of Washington, and Mike
Michaels, for many years a
leading Washington player.
Going into today's final ses-
sion of the American Contract
Bridge League summer tourna-
ment, the Gabrilovitch team
leads the Charles H. Goren
team by 81 to rs International
Match Points, and the Wash
ington player leads the John
r. Crawford team by As to 81
points. The Crawford team
leads the Goren team by SO to
Is points. The tournament is
being held at the Sheraton
Park Hotel.
Equals so Points
With each IMP. equal
roughly to so points Of rubber
bridge scoring, the lead Of the
Gabrilovitch team is considered
good but not decisive, since
there are still 18 hands to be
played against each team.
The Charles H. Goren team,
winners last year, includes Mrs.
Helen Sobel, Howard Schenken,
Peter Leventritt, Boris Koyt-
chou, and Harold Agust, all of
New York.
The John r. Crawford team
includes George Repee, Tobias
Stone, Alvin Roth, all New
York, Sidney Silodor of Phila-
delphia, and Norman Kay of
Merchantville, N. j.
Earlier in the 11-day national
tournament, Miles won the Life
Master Pair Championship with
Philip FeldeSman of New York.
Feldesman won the Mems
Pairs with Ira Rubin Of Fair
lawn, N. j.
In the other principal events,
the team of Emanuel Hochfeld,
Gloria Turner of Chicago,
Richard K. Freeman of Wash
ington, and Mrs. Louise Robin
son of Hendersonville, N. c.,
took the Mixed Team Cham
pionship; and Mrs. Ralph w.
Gordon of Buffalo, and Mrs.
Said Haddad of Mclean, Va,
won the Women's Pairs.

West opened the ten OF
hearts, and. Mr.. Miles, playing
the South hand, won with the
jack. Declarer's problem was
whether to play for dummy's
clubs or his own diamonds.
Mr.. Miles led the king OF
diamonds at the second trick
forcing out the ace. Back came
the jack Of spades, giving de.
clarer the spade finesse he
would have to take sooner OF
later.
Mr.. Miles forced out the
queen of diamonds and even-
tually won the ten of diamonds
and the low diamond. These
two tricks, together with three
hearts, two clubs, and two
spades were enough for the
contract.
At the other table, Russ
Arnold, of the Florida Wash

with the jack Of hearts and
went after dummy's clubs
When the suit failed to break

ETS HELP THOSE WHO NEED HELP. We all agree
to this. And, as for the medical profession, my pro-
mfession, service to those in need has always been its
keystone.
Moreover, when it comes to medical aid for the aged, the
concept of helping those who need help has already be-
come law. A Federal grant-in-oid program has been
established for the needy and the near-needyop program
designed to be administered locally for locally determin-
ed beneficiories. The benefits reach out to all of the
AGED who are in need-not merely to people who are
covered by Social Security. And because this program is
voluntary, based on need alone, all of the aged who don't
need help can stay independent.
Holmes County herald., 1961-04-13

sWHE TIME HAS CONE for all of us to stand and be
counted on the question Of SociaIized Medicine. It's
no longer "something to dismiss" or put off till next
year"
The time is now-time to decide whether we want the
relationship Of patient and physician to continue free :.
or whether we want to trade this freedom for control by
the Federal Government.
Congress is considering legislation at this moment which
would establish q system Of compulsory medical care for
the aged, with medical or hospital costs to be financed
through higher Social Security" taxes.
No matter how you sugar-coat the pill-some call it
simply "a method of financing" 1.-The proposal adds UP
to SociaIized Medicine. Let's face it, if q bureau Of the
Federal Government is to administer health-care fnonc-
ing, then that bureau must also supervise the service
for "he who pays the piper calls the tune" And the call
ing of the tune won't stop With the aged. For once the
principle has been established, it is bound to be expanded
until it controls us all.

To $6,379,l8O After Equalization
Records Show
S23,420 Rise
Over Last Year

$3.50, 1870 following the reassess-
ment by the county's three-mem-
Der board of assessors.

lation of figures gathered by the

In Prince Edward county, real

of fair market value. Thus the

one-fifth of the total marketable
value Of land and property with
in the county.
Public Hearings

have property values equalized
during 1860, Virginia laws re-
quiring this to be done every six
years. j. Hugh Gillian chair
named the board of assessors and
equalization, serving with j.
Woodfin Hughes and Shirley C.
Do*dy.
The assessors held public hear
ings for each magisterial district
, comforting with such property
owners as wished to seek some
adjustment in assessed values
placed on their property.
The new figure is up by $23 400.
and represents net gain in true
market values for the IL months
of 1860 Of about S120,0 900. The new
totals will be used in assessing
taxes for 1861 j.. . at whatever
levy is finally set by the board of
supervisors.

lation sheets show the following
