Traffic accidents during the
long Laborg Day week end
killed $50 persons. "a below
pre-holiday estimates, and the
death rate was a record low

period from 6 pm. Friday to

The Senate Finance Com
mittee has delayed action,
probably until next year, on
the House-paSsed bill to give
extra Federal income tax credit
to Government employees and
other workers upon retirement.
The Senate group decided
hearings would be necessary
and declined to take favorable
action until they are held. The
lateness of this years session
of Congress makes it unlikely
that hearings will be scheduled
until next year.
The favorable House action,
however, will not necessarily
have been wasted. Since this
is only the first years session
of the 87th Congress, a bill
can be taken up next year at
the point to which it advanced
this year.
The House-a pproved bill
would liberalize the annual
Federal income tax credit on
retired Government employe
annuities from the present
$1,000 to $l,524. 1t also would
apply to other retirees. In
addition, the bill would give
Government retirees an income
tax break on whatever earn
ings they have in addition to
their civil service annuitieS.

A-Tests in Air
BY the Associated Press

The possibility that the
United States will have to re-
sumo atmospheric nuclear tests
if the Russians continue such
shots was voiced today by in
fluential members of Congress
Senate Republican Leader
Dirksen of Illinois said Presi-
dent Kennedy's order yester-
day for resumption of under
ground explosions doesn't
mean that we won't have to test
in the air later"
Senator Dirksen was one of
the congressional leaders of
both parties Mr.. Kennedy in
formed of his decision before
the White House announced it,
The Illinois Senator said it
was his understanding that,
while underground experiments
might provide valuable scien-
tific information, it may be
necessary to detonate warheadS
in the air in the final series of
tests.
This would involve fallout.
Much of the world has con-
demned Russia for loosing such
nuclear debris in the atmos-
phere over Central Asia in its
new tests.
The President gave Demo-
cratic congressional leaders a
comprehensive briefing on the
testing issue at a breakfast con-
ference in the White House
today.
Acting House Speaker Nc
Cormack said the briefing dealt
particularly with Soviet testing
in the atmosphere. He dis
closed no details.
Mr.. Mccormack said that in
talks with other members of
Congress he had heard nothing
but strong approval of the
Presidents decision to resume
American testing in the labor
atory and underground to avoid
fallout.
Senator Cooper, Republican
Of Kentucky, said that as much
as he breads the possibility he
fears that if the Russians con-
tinue their atmospheric shots
1--WE may find it necessary to
undertake tests in the air, too"
Senator Gore, Democrat of
Tennessee, a member of the
Senate-Hou Atomic Energy
Committee, said that if the Rus
SLAMS persist in tests gin the
atmosphere, reaching into the
megaton 1ange, we will be re-
quired to resume atmospheric
tests, too, as deplorable and re-
grettable as we may find it."
Senator Gore said there is
lone overriding theoretical pos
sibility: The development of a
defensive mechanism that would
neutralize nuclear warheads On
incoming ballistic missiles"
Senator jackson, Democrat of
Washington, another committee
member, said he is more than
ever convinced that the Rus
slams have been conducting I'M
derground tests during the
moratorium that has been in
effect since November, 1858.
81 think they came to the
point where they felt they had
to have atmospheric tests to
prove out what they were do
ing" he said. The rapidity of
these tests shows that they are
Ia we'll organized series which
must have taken months to
plan. @.
1T utterly destroys their pre-
tense of good faith in the Gen
eva talks and shows their total
insincerity."
Senator Jackson said the
Russion tests could be for one
of three purposes, or some COM
bination of the three:
/. To develop the component
parts of a new weapons system.
This could be a big qualitative
jump for them, something they
would announce to the world
as a big breakthrough and
claim they are ahead now on

most civic organs, working with
one specific motive in mind-to
celebrate the independence of
our community. It then became
traditional for the Celebration
League to, contribute their as
sets to the building activities
of the Village of Robbins. The
contributions were not meager
ones, according to the Leagues
history and the old-timers boast
quite graciously about the work
of the Celebration League. I'm
fortunately the past three years
cid not afford these kind of
achievements for the Celebra-
ton League due to what the
elder members refer to as not
having the stamina nor vigor
to sustain the activity that the

tailed. The tenacious few of the

When this hand was played
some years ago in the Euro
pean Championships. South
won the first trick with the
ace of diamonds and snickered
to himself as he led a trump
to dummy's king and discarded
the singleton spade on the king
of diamonds.
Mind you, this was one of
the best players in Europe, but
the urge to get rid of the spade
blinded him to the correct play
of the hand.
Declarer continued with the
queen of diamonds, discarding
a club from his hand. Then
he led dummy's singleton club.
East stepped up with tn e
king Of clubs and returned the
queen Of hearts to South's ace.
This left one trump in dummy,
so that South could ruff only
one club there. South had to
lose two more clubs and q
trump trick. Down one.
Count Winners
South makes the contract If
he counts his winners. Allow
ing for a 81 break in hearts,
South can expect to win only
five Of his six trumps. There
are only three tricks in the
side suits, Therefore South
must plan to ruff twice in
dummy if he is to bring his
count Of winners up to 10.
South cannot afford to lead
a trump. After winning the
first trick with the ace Of dia-
monds South must lead a club
at once.
The defenders can, at best,
win the club, cash one spade
and lead a trump throug h
dummy. South puts up dunn
myS' king Of hearts, cashes the
two high diamonds and cross
ruffs spades and clubs. Thus
he manages to ruff two clubs
in dummy.
East eventually gets trump
trick but South makes 10 tricks
and his game contract.

Lippmann points out, it is inn
probable that another strong

been the death of George

Washington, it is doubtful if

agree with Candida that we

they do have something to Of

that we have much more to
