ON BRIDGE
BY ALFRED SHEINWOLD
Choose Finesse Thut
Makes Difference

A certain type of bridge sit
uation is like q child's loose
tooth. You can monkey with
it. giving yourself pain and
fear and leaving the tooth still
where it was. Or you can be
decisive about it, giving your
self the same trouble in the
process, but the tooth will be
out.

"A All Pass
Opening lead: Trey of hearts.
When West opened a low
heart, declarer had a finesse
in each of the four suits.
Which finesse was it proper
to take?
1t was easy to work out that
there was no advantage in TAX
ing the heart finesse. Hence
South put up dummy's ace of
hearts and stared at the three
remaining illnesses.
After enough Of a pause to
indicate that he had thought
deeply about the profile m,
South led a trump from
dummy and finessed the queen.
This play was like monkeying
with a loose tooth. He was no
better off than before.
The finesse won, but the king
of spades didn't drop. South
still had to lose a spade, two
diamonds and a club.
Indecisive illnesses
The illnesses in the black
suits were clearly indecisive. If
the finesse won. South might
well be in the same0 position
as before. If the finesse lost,
he was worse off.
The diamond fineSse was diff
ferent. If declarer led a dia-
mond from dummy and sue
cessfully finessed the queen
from his hand, he would be
sure of the contract. The dan
ger was equal to either of the
other illnesses, but as least the
result would be decisive. 1t was
a way Of having the tooth out.
Daily Question
Partner opens with one
heart and the next player
passes. You hold:
As 7J9632 1J872 @K42
What do you say?
Answer: Bid two hearts.
This is a weak hand and you
must make a weak response.
Don't make the mistake of
jumping to four hearts simply
because you have five trumps
and a singleton.

Pelly Attacks
 P. o. Department

WASHINGTON (P) Rep. Thomas Pelly, Washington Repub- lican, called "reprehensible" the Post Office decision extending the mailboat contract in Alaska with out calling for bids.
 Sen. Gruening (D-Alaska) said the contract "very properly is go- ing to an Alaskan company. The government is making the best possible arrangement from the standpoint of fiscal responsibility"
 The decision to extend to p months the Seward Nikolski mail run contract, held by the Aleutian Marine Transport Co.,, prompted the strongly-worded letter from Pelly to Postmaster General J. Edward Day. Pelly, representing Seattle, had pressed for competi- tive bids on the contract to serve Kodiak Island, Alaska Peninsula and Aleutian Islands.

They claim the Japanese made set is not only less than 1/10th the cost of the American item, but due to the fact 1t was handmade by craftsmen long skilled in making Samurai swords it is quite superior to the American made article.
 Interestingly enough, the Jap anese do not claim to be in any way competitive with products where the principal cost is raw materials. But on the other hand, if the major cost is la- bor, they quite bluntly say their chief resource is cheap labor.
 It is this cheap labor, they claim, which is causing major American firms to establish plants in the Orient, and which will account in 1861 for per capita purchase of $6.02 in Japanese made goods, or over a billion dollars.
 HHA
 And herein is highlighted the major fallacy committed by the internationalists when seek ing to defend the lack of tariff protection for the U. s.
 These people will invariably point to set of figures which shows, for example, that while a billion dollars worth was irn- ported from Japan, U. s. ex- ported similar value to Japan.
 This is not proper measure ment. While Americas exports are valued in their U. s. pro- auction costs, the imports from Japan are valued in their cheap labor costs of production. Thus, every billion dollars worth of Jap goods flooding into this na- ton replaces in actuality some where around 10 billions of dol lars in American production. It is estimated in many Jap plarass the labor payroll in total is no higher than just the em- ployee welfare assessments and taxes paid by U. s. plants of similar size.

Mirrored Reflections
By SIG DECREE

on many foreign assignments throughout his career as a writer, which has spread over lifetime.
 McGinnis will tell you about such things as a wild boar hunt; shoot ing a tiger when he was in the French Foreign Legion; his meet ing with Trujillo, assassinated die tator of the Dominican Republic; of buying castle in Scotland for S12,0OO; and host of other jaunts he has made.
 He has been in Alaska before Nome and Kotzebue, and, of course, Fairbanks and Anchorage. This is his first visit to Kodiak. He ar rived Tuesday, and was to connect with Reeves Airlines for a flight to Umnak Island in the Aleutians. But due to the visSitudes i'm posed by weather on the traveller in Alaska, he was grounded here until today.
 But that didn't deter McGinnis- for a writer, no matter where he may be-will always find material for an article. Notebook and cam era in hand, the Editor of The
  Farm Quarterly looked over Nix on's Dairy and the Joe Beatty ranch to see and learn of the conditions peculiar to this section of the coun- try, under which these enterprises are operated.
 One of the strictly Alaskan traits of travel in this vast State that came as something of shock to McGinnis, who, as we said, has

For one who loves to travel, we are perhaps the most consistent stay-at-home there is. Largely due to the nature of our job, but also due to the fact that airlines, hotels, and other enterprises catering to travellers have a nasty-habit of wanting to get paid for their serv- ices, we remain year after year at our desk.
 Nevertheless, as we sit here as frustrated would-be traveller, we cogitate on methods and means of overcoming the handicaps that be- set our urge to travel, and visualize the many interesting corners of the earth that beckon to be explored.
 Ironically, the writing field lends itself beautifully to a fullfillment of this urge-of course it calls for special misunderstanding powers, keen perception, quick assimila-  ton of material, ability to analyse, and flair to put facts and figures in readable writing.
 This trend Of thought was brought about by visit with a man from whose lips flow mention of far-a-way places-in South Ameri- ca, Mexico, Spain, Europe, Egypt, Russia, as we'll as various places on the North American continent many of them with off-the-beat characteristics.
 He is J. B. McGinnis, editor and founder of The Farm Quarterly, and lately an associate editor of The Readers Digest. He has worked

Kodiak Bear Hunt
 To The Economy
By WILL TROYER Refuge Manager, FWS

How much money is spent by sportsmen in hunting Kodiak ls- land bear? According to recent hunter survey conducted by the U. S. Fish & Wildlife Service in connection with the management of bear on the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge, a total of $343,- 437.85 was expended by sportsmen in 1859 alone in taking AT trophy Kodiak bears. A total of 133 hunt CTS from various parts of the United States and other parts of the world travelled to the Kodiak Islands in 1859 to hunt the world famous Kodiak bear and 139 Alas kan sportsmen participated in the hunt.
 Eighty per cent of the non-resi- dent hunters succeeded in bagging a trophy while only 30 per cent of the Alaskan hunters were success ful. The higher success ratio of the non-reSidents was due to a greater portion of these sportsmen hiring guides who are familiar with the hunting areas. Although the guide law was not mandatory in 1859, 95 per cent of all non-Alaskans em- ployed the services of guides.
 The average non-Alaskan hunter spent $2,343.54 of which $1,578 .94 was spent in Alaska. This compares with $301.15 spent by the average Alaskan. Since not all hunters were successful, the average expendi- ture per bear taken was $2,911.94 by non-Alaskans and $996.91 by AlaSkanS.
 The largest single expenditure by hunters was the guide fee which totaled $126,O33.85. During the year of the survey, total of 31 people were employed full time or part time in guiding bear hunters.
 Other important expenditures were:

is becoming C. w. Harder more apparent that 100 years later the nations economy can- not endure with goods from free labor competing in mar ketplace against goods made by labor at near slave wages.
 ' Y
 Aggressive Japanese busi- nessmen realize fully the ad- vantage they have in cheap labor and are exploiting it to the fullest in their bids for U. s. commercial connections.
 For example, Japanese firms are carrying on direct mail campaigns to American mer- chandisers, asking for the op- portunity of getting their mer- chandise requirements made for them in Asia.
 One firm in Tokyo, is offering as bait, to send to the recipient of their letters a nine piece carving set which they say is available in Tokyo for ST
 4 <
 As a matter of fact, they are using this offer to illustrate their sales "pitch." This carv- ing set, they point out, was made at the request of an American firm to duplicate a set that they retailed at S104.35.

Due to equipment breakdowns mainly, it is unlikely the City will b egin the road construction planned this year.
 According to City Engineer, Jim Barr, road material is being stock piled, survey work on much of the roads completed. If breakdowns continue as they have, he said, it will be impossible to get into actual construction.

travelled the world over many times, is the high cost. Travelling between points in Alaska, he says, costs more than it does to go to Europe. Understandable, but still annoying.
 And that brings us back to our stay-at-home problem. Maybe it's that initial fare to get out of Alaska that we should concentrate on, and let the rest take care of itself.
 But one fact that becomes ap- parent-Kodiak as well as the rest of the world-has something to write about, which is of general interest to the man in Montana, Kansas or New York, as well as elsewhere.
 One last word on the subject of travel From the Inlet Courier, in Homer, we learn: Fred Haechler, mechanical engineer and world traveller, left his home in Switzer- land last Christmas in French 2 h.p. Citreon. He toured through Italy, crossed the Mediterranean to Africa and travelled the length of the continent to Cape Town. From there he went to Montivideo, then from Buenos Aires he came to McNeil Canyon, the end of the North American system.
 After arriving in Homer the Cit reon was still going strong on it's original tires and has consistently done 60 miles on a gallon of petrol (gas to you).
 Does that give you would-be- travellers any ideas?
 The principles of geometry and trigonometry are once again being applied to the streets of Kodiak, and the little posts, with their pretty little red cloths, are duly in place. In other words, surveying is again being accomplished for the road paving of Benson Ave, Rezan- off and way points-for the last time,, we hope.
 We may yet drive along this paved thoroughfare-well, in 1862, at least.
 Here's an item sent in by Jack Hinckel, Union Oil consignee here:
 The Ca i fornia Automotive Wholesalers Association (CAWA) has asked the State of California to rescind the personal property tax on wholesalers and retailers stock inventories.
 In resolution adopted by its board of directors at Fresno last month the CAWA declared that the California tax interferes with free flow of goods in interstate commerce and that it discriminates against merchants and in favor of banks and professional occupations who do not have to pay this tax.
 The resolution also declared that the tax partially "confiscates" m h n t S stock investment. Stocks are taxed over again each year as long as they remain on the shelf, and some wholesalers pay the tax as much as four times on the same merchandise, the resolu- tion declared.
