players who were afraid to draw
trumps wound up with a minus
score. Those who tackled the
trumps early mSie nine tricks.
One popular but ineffective
way of playing the hand was to
take the first club. run three
diamonds to discard a club,
and then lead the singleton
spade from dummy.
This allowed East to rise
with the ace Of spades and give
West diamond ruff. West re-
turned a club and was in
position to overruff declarer on
a club lead by East later on.
The defenders got one spade
and four trump tricks.
Lead Spade Early
The best line Of play
for South is to lead the single
ton spade from dummy as early
as possible. If East wins and
returns a club, there is still
time to cash the top diamonds
and get rid of a club.
Now, however, declarer must
lead a trump from dummy. It's
unlikely that the defenders will
be able to draw three rounds of
trumps. What's more, even if
they can, they may not see the
advantage of doing so. South
must get at least one round of
J trumps out of the way to stop
Evening star., 1961-04-10

the defenders from winning
four trump tricks.
AS 1t happens, this round Of
trumps clears up the play. East
wins with the king of trumps
and leads a club. South ruffs,
and West overruffs.
Now West cannot get to his
partners hand for another club
lead. When West leads a
spade, dummy ruffs and leads
another trump. The ace and
jack fall together, and South
claims the rest of the tricks.

BY the Associated Press

A bipartisan drive by the
House Appropriations Commit
tee for authority to cancel or
transfer previous appropria-
tions has been halted by the
House Rules Committee.
The rules group, by a vote of
8 to S, has tabled resolutions to
give the Appropriations Com
mittee tighter control over
money bills.
The resolutions were Spon-
sored Jointly by Appropriations
Chairman Cannon, Democrat
Of Missouri, and Representative
Taber, Republican Of New York,
senior minority member of the
Appropriations Committee.
One Objective Enough
In the past the committee
has successfully recommended,
and the House has approved,
cancellation of prior money
grants simply because no one
objected. The House rules per-
NIT rejection of an appropria- =
ton cancellation by a single
objection.
Mr.. Cannon said other COM
mitteeS of the House "have au-
thority to correct their mis-
takes or to recommend changes
in their actions when it is
necessary"
But the Appropriations Com
mittee. he added, has no power
to undo what it onces does; it
cannot recommend the recap
ture of appropriations if it
determines that they were ex-
cesSive or unnecessary or there
is no longer a need for the
money originally provided"
'Recapture" Sought
Both Mr.. Taber and Mr..
Cannon claimed large sums of
appropriations could be re-
captured If the committee had
authority to recall them or to
transfer them to some other
activity.
Representative Howard w.
Smith, Democrat of Virginia,
Rules Committee chairman,
said the Cannon-Taber pro-
posal could result in large
savings Of the taxpayers
money, and it certainly couldn't
cost anything"
Mr.. Smith said he favored
the proposal but was outvoted
by other Democrats on the
committee, whose membership
was raised from IL to is early
this year in an Administrations
backed move to curb the power

I Really, there isn't lot of difference
between Republican Form of Govern
ment and Representative Democracy
1t is obvious we have not yet achieved
pure Democracy. Stop quibbling over
words, Birchites. No matter how you
twist them, Article IV--Section of
our Constitution does not make you
the privileged ruling class. And you
had best cease your threats and your
violence or Article IV-Section A will
definitely be enforced to control your
unconstitutional activities.
You cry for less government and
more responsibility. Yet the purpose
of government is to protect the weak
from the strong. What You really seek
is "Republic" wherein only you can
rule; where money is the only strength.
Americas business tycoons and Rus
sia's megaton blasters are equally ir-
responsible. You would destroy all
things on the planet Earth just to
satisfy your own greed and your thirst
for power. How alike you have be-

refuse to look at the real problems
and to join with your fellow humans
in solving these problems. You blast
all who disagree with your ''hate" tao
tics. You try to, hide your destructive
purpose behind; the Bible and the Flag.
In your Republic you intend to be
