It's a good idea to ruff your

it's even a better idea to ruff
with the right trumps.

Opening lead: Diamond king.
West took two diamond
tricks and then shifted to the
singleton heart. Declarer won
in dummy with the ace of
hearts and began on a cam
paign to ruff out his two los
ing clubs.
South cashed the king and
ace of clubs and ruffed a
club in dummy. 1t was i'm
portant to ruff with the five
of spades at this time, saving
the eight of spades for the
next ruff. This is a general
principle of ruffing: Use the
low trumps early when there
is very little danger that an
opponent will likewise be ready
to ruff.
Now South had to get back
to his hand to lead his last
club. Declarer led a heart from
dummy and ruffed-with the
ace of trumpS!
This careful play was nee
esSary to safeguard the con-
tract. Since West couldn't
overruff, he discarded a dia-
mond. South thereupon led his
last club and ruffed with
dummy's eight. He was willing
to give up a trick to the king
Of trumps, then or later, since
the game and rubber were
safely home.
Low Ruff Would Lose
South would lose his game
contract if he ruffed dummy's
heart with a low trump in
stead of the ace. West would
overruff with the king and
would return a trump. This
would take the last trump out
of dummy and South would
eventually lose a club trick.
It's too bad for the defend
ers that West was afraid to
lead a trump at the third
trick. It's hard to blame West,
but he would defeat the con-
tract by leading his low trump!
South wins, cashes the top
clubs and ruffs a club in
dummy. When South tried to
get back by ruffing a heart,
West overruffS, thus making
his blank king of trumps. Then
West cashes the queen of clubs,
defeating the contract.

Air Force Goes Into Action Yu1etide Groceries Will Be on Time

SCOTT AIR FORCE BASE, III. B Military authorities took emergency action early today to prevent thousands of Army and Air Force personnel in Alaska from missing their Christmas din- ner.
 A ship carrying the Yuletide groceries became trapped in ice yesterday just off Anchorage. The deadline was almost at hand for distributing the turkeys and other fixings to such far-flug points as Fort Wainwright, above the Arctic Circle, and remote radar stations.
 Headquarters of the Military Air Transport Service here told the story:
 Army Maj. Oscar Peterson, chief of purchasing for the Mili- tary Subsistence Supply Agency at Seattle, received an urgent plea for help at am. He was given just four hours to round up the IA tons of replacement groceries.
 Merchants in the Seattle Ia coma area were routed out of bed. The frantic shopping spree soon was in full swing. A C-124 Globemaster was readied at Mc- Chord AFB near Tacoma. Trucks hauled almost 30 900 pounds of various grocery items to the aiI base.
 The married officers kept tele Iphone lines buzzinR with the ar arrangements, and they met tn deadline.
 The giant plane, Christmas dir
 ner supplies aboard, took off rigi
 on schedule at a.nn., on the 71.
 hour flight to El1nendorf AFB 1

Alaska Reindeer Seen as Gourmet Item
 Whoa Dancer, Blixen, and Prancer!

would prepare their animals for the market
 Unlike their counterparts in the US. southwest, Alaska's Arctic cowboys cannot use horses or ve- hicles in herding over the mus keg and covered tundra od the far north.
 During the summer months they plod afoot through nearly i'm passable muck after their charges During the winter months, they use dog sled, and that means running good share of the time, The reindeer's eagerness to join caribou herds whenever they see one makes the work doubly hard
 There are about .50O,00O wild reindeer and caribou in all in Alaska.
 Putting notions of Santa Calus and Rudolf aside, I sampled rein deer steak once in Nome.
 It has the same texture and a flavor comparable to beef. It is not marbled with fat as beef hence leaner But it is not gamy.
 Sprinkled lightly with bread crumbs, dotted with butter and then broiled, 1t is fork tender and very, very delicious.
 Herders sometime eat nothing but reindeer for days on end.
 I'll take one for my freezer any day.

Erroneous Report That
 " Jackie,' Did the Twist

FOET l1A0UEktllAIE, Fla. 01 IA night club owners case of mistaken identity led today to cir- culation Of an erroneous report that Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy danced the twist in the club here Friday night
 "You just missed Jackie Ken- nedy." John Phelan, owner of the Golden Falcon Lounge. told a newsrnan who walked into the club at 12:15. am.
 Phelan said two men entered the club about 10:30 pln., identi- fled themselves as Secret Service agents, and looked over the room before bringing party into the club.
 ' Phelan said he saw Nrs. Ken-| redy doing the tWist and once, when spotlight was thrown on the dance floor, the two men; ordered him 10 turn 1t off and told him they wanted no pictures or publicity.
 At Palm Beach, White House press secretary Pierre Salinger told news conference:
 Tt was cheap effort by a night club owner to use the First Family for publicity purposes. It is totally untrue. She Mrs. Ken- nedy) was home all evening"
 Phelan could :st be reached later for additional comment.
 Kenny Miller, an entertainer at the club, said at first "I would sweaf' 1t was Mrs. Kennedy, later, he said if it was not she, 1t was tan identical twin"

MEKORYUK, Alaska Some 43,000 herded reindeer are giving Alaskan natives from Noatak to the Yukon Kuskokwim Delta a measure of economic stability they've never known before.
 And new experiment in mar keting reindeer meat in the south 48 states promises to bring rein deer herding up from a marginal to a profitable operation.
 Under the Reindeer Act of 1887, the federal government restricts the ownership of reindeer to na- tive Alaskans.
 Now, along the coast of the Arc tic Ocean and the Bering Sea and on desolate Nunivak Island, there are 19 herds of reindeer, compris- ing approximately 43,000 animals,
 Here at Mekoryuk on Nunivak Island, modern slaughtering and refrigeration plant was construct1 ed in 1914 to handle the 15,000 deer which grazed on the island under the watchful eyes of their native herders.
 Nnnivalk Island produced some 150,000 pounds of reindeer meat this year.
 About 90 per cent went to com mercial outlets in Alaska, two Alaska Native Service Hospitals and to Bureau of Indian Affair$ boarding schools.
 Approximately 10 per cent was shipped to the 48 states south. 4 ftall-erown steer will weigh about 156 pounds dressed. ;-
 Within the past few weeks, the Bureau of Indian Affairs negotia- ted a contract with a Seattle firm for the sale of 25, 900 pounds Of prime reindeer steaks.
 The fresh frozen steaks will be packaged in cellophane and flown to Seattle direct from Nunivak Island. The wholesaler will pay 20 cents pound.
 The Bureau of Indian Affairs, which keeps a tight watch on all reindeer operations, believes the reindeer meat will sell readily as gourmet item at price cum petitive with the better grades } q beef, such as sirloin steak.
 CT fhe l19 reindeer herds tend- a by the natives along AIasla's g West Coast, four are privately owned.
 Tn addition, there are four vil- lage-owned herds, two govern ment-owned and operated herds; and nine government-owned herds on loan to individuals
 The largest herd, some 5000 animals, ranges in the Golovin area, under the watchfl1 eye of owner Sigfried Aukonkag.
 Under the loan arrangement, the individual borrows herd from the government. At the end of five years, hs repays the gov- ernment the number of animals originally borrowed and keeps the increase as the nucleus of a new herd.
 m recent years there has been increasing pressure to permit whites to own reindeer.
 Opponents of exclusive native oWnership contend the reindeer industry has remained static and needs the guiding hand of white en1eFprenellrs who have . 3inr ancial interest In the industry.
 Don Hoover, vice president and manager Of the Miners and Mer- chants Bank of Nome, explains | this way:

UNION MAY BE ROCKED
BY POWELL REPORT

WASHINGTON--A first class
scandal" may be shaping up over
the handling of union welfare and
pension funds, Rep. Adam Clay
ton Powell, D-N.Y., said.
Powell. chairman of the House
Labor Committee, said the group
is launching an investigation Of
the funds, which now have re-
serves exceeding $50 billion.
He also said he is intr oducing
legislation that would require de-
tailed annual reports on the funds
and give the secretary of labor
new enforcement powers to deal
with violations.
investigations by some states
in this area have turned up some
very alarming facts that can
cause a first class scandal"
Powell told a news conference.
Some abuses he said were ex-
orbitant payments to trustees,
hck-backs and split fees between
fund trustees and lawyers, the
granting Of interest-free loans to
favored parties, risky invest
ments to help friends and favor
itism toward particular doctors
and clinics.
Powell said weakness in the
welfare and pension plans dis
closure act of 1858 was the ma
jor cause of the abuse es. Under
the act the government has no
power to prevent such abuses,
he said.
