Opening lead: Queen of clubs.
After South's opening bid of
one no-trump, North wants to
reach a game of some kind. He
has 9 points and expects this
to provide a reasonable play
for game at no-trump or at a
major suit since South's OPEN
ing bid promises 16 to 10
points. ...
North's problem is to find
out whether or not his partner
has a major suit. If so, North
wants to bid game in that ma
jor; if not, North wants to bid
game in no-trump.
Uses Convention
North finds out by bidding
two clubs, the first step in the
Stayman convention. This bid
says nothing at all about
North's clubs, but merely asks
the opener to bid a major suit
If he can.
South has a four card heart
suit. so bids it. If South had
four cards in each major suit,
he would bid two spades and
wait for a chance to show the
hearts later. If South had no
four-card Cor longer major
suit, he would bid two
diamonds.
North, as we have seen, is
ready to bid game. When
hearts are shown, North jumps
to four hearts.
South easily makes four
hearts, losing one club, one
diamond and one spade. Game
at no-trump would be defeated
by a club opening lead. for the
defenders would get four clubs
and a diamond.
Daily Question

passes. You hold:

What do you say?
Answer: Bid three clubs, the
Stayman convention. If part
ner shows a major suit, you
can invite a slam by jumping
to five of the major or to four
no-trump.

in the fight to enact q public

America at Stake in A-7esting

It is significant that In
Britain, where two years ago
the demand to stop nuclear
testing was very strong, pub
lie sentiment now seems to
favor q resumption. Editori-
ais in the press no longer
talk Of the suspension Of
testing as necessary. On the
contrary, the argument Is
made that the West has tried
in every conceivable way to
reach an agreement with the
Soviets and can wait no
longer. v
What is the reason for the
change in Britain? One ex-
planation given this writer
by q scientist with q knowl-
edge of some Of the things
going on in European tech
nical circles is that the Brit
iSh know far more than they,
did two years ago about the
whole nuclear field. They
have been given q vast
amount Of information by
the United States Govern
ment and hence are much
more aware now Of the dan
gers Of q prolonged Suspen-
sion Of testing.
But the basic question con-
Germs not merely a more ef-
fective way to fight q nuclear
war. It concerns q possible
influence on the very per-
sons who are pressing for
agreement to limit the use
of nuclear weapons. For, If
it turns out that q neutron
bomb can inflict its blow on
a larger area than q battle
field, an entirely new look
at the whole problem will be
necessary on all sides.
Testing to get at the truth
may turn out, therefore, to
be as important as testing
in order to grow stronger
militarily. Once the world
knows the facts, it can bring
to bear the pressures for imi-
tation Of use which underlie
the whole crusade for diSarm-
ament. But when one party
goes ahead in secrecy to per-
feet terrible weapons, it is
sheer folly for the other side
to adhere to a one-sided suS-
pension Of tests. That's why
many scientists In the know,
Americans and Western Eu-
ropeanS alike, are worried
and hope President Kennedy
will not delay for long his
fateful decision.

goods, tools. machines, and
chemicals. Today's trade and
industrial patterns are as
greatly changed as are those
OF world power and politics.
So many things In this
generation require a acapacity
to adjust to change, end as
always, this is q painful
thing to do, but those who
do not will die sooner or
later.
Economists, noting the tre-
mendous Industrial surge of
the Russians, predict that in
q not too distant future the
industrial nations of Europe
will be forced to meet Soviet
competition as this country
now is seeking ways to ad-
Just to that from Europe and
Japan.
MIR. Khrushchev insists
that the Soviet industrial
output is. increasing 10 per
cent annually as against 2
per cent in the United States
and that Russia will match
the United States output by
1870. Our experts do not ac-
cept his 10 per cent figure.
but they do believe it is
somewhere around Z per cent
and may be higher.
This brings sharply into
focus the paradox of our
present situation. We have
high employment and near
record unemployment. The
drag Of the millions Of un..
employed workers and of
idle plant capacity is a vis-
ible national illness. It is a
condition which cannot be
allowed to exist much longer
without serious damage to
the national health.

Risk Of Reds Getting Neutron Bomb
Called Justification for u. S. Action

PARiS.-Did the Soviet
Union outwit and outma-
neuver the United States In

America fro m developing
new weapons in the nuclear
field? Has Russia today q
lead Of more than q year?
Secret meetings Of scien-
lists are scheduled to take
place in Western European.
locations soon, and they
hope to help find the answer
to the big question-is the
United States justified in re-
suming underground tests?
President Kennedy will
make the final decision after
he has received the advice
Of the special committee Of
scientists in Washington ap-
pointed to study "the serious
questions involved" in the
continuance Of the voluntary
ban on testing by the United
States. But, even in advance
Of the Presidents decision,
the manifestations Of con-
Germ among scientists is
startling in itself. Primarily,
they are concerned about the
So-called neutron bomb.
Basically the neutron
bomb Is a tactical weapon.
1t Is for use in ground war
fare as army fights army.
It can destroy opposing regi-
ments in an instant and yet
confine to q small area its
damage to property. 1t is a
weapon that could revo-
lutionize warfare. The West
hasn't developed the neutron
bomb, but its scientists feel
as certain about it in theory
as they did about the atomic
bomb before 1t was actually
tested.
The neutron bomb, more
over. can be tested UNDER
ground. Such testing Gre
ates no "fall-out" and in
jures no one-a factor that
originally gave rise to the
whole propaganda for the
suspension Of nuclear tests.
Why, then, doesn't the
United States 90 ahead and
test the neutron bomb so as
to be at least even with the
Russians If, in fact, they
have already made their
tests in secret and know what
the weapon can do?

Nobody knows positively
the facts as to Russia's nu-
clear position. Hence, the
all : important question Is
whether the United States
can take the chance and de-
fer testing any longer.
The worldwide propa-
ganda to suspend tests was
started by the Russians.
They infiltrated universities
and colleges here and there
and got enough scientists on
their side to make speeches
deploring the dangers Of
"fallout." The United States
government Succumbed in
1858 to the demand largely
under pressure from Great
Britain. where the left wing
made 1t q penetrating issue
in domestic politics. Conf
dent Of its own lead in the
nuclear field, the Washing
ton administration went
along with the movement to
suspend .nueleaf testing on
its own. but the discussions
and conferences to negotiate
a treaty have drifted along
without agreement. It looks
now as II the Soviets never
intended to agree and have
purposely prolonged the talks
at Geneva.
But how long should the
United States play into the
hands Of the Soviets by de-
laying q resumption of nu-
clear tests? About the only
reason against resumption
that is heard discussed Is
the possibility that the COM
munistS will seek to get a
propaganda advantage out
Of 1t throughout the world.
II. however, the West can
make clear that there is no
danger in underground test
ing, the disadvantages would
appear to be outweighed by
the advantages-the chance
to perfect the neutron bomb.
Why dilly-dally any longer
with the Soviets? The scien-
lists are by no means in
agreement as to whether the
neutron bomb can be per-
feCted, but the military the
ory which has governed the
reasoning Of q belligerent
since time immemorial is that
1t Is not safe to take chances
and trust the enemy.

The Soviets now are mass

haps the worlds greatest

they are being used politi-

Administration hopes for
aid to education are expiring
fast in the wake of the House
Rules c m mittee vote to
table all three bills before it.
Some members Of Congress
insist it will be necessary to
revive one Of them-the aid
to the so : called impacted
areas where defense plants
put too heavy. a burden on
local taxpayers. . They hope
fully add that it may be pos
sible to tack a general aid
amendment to it If the Ken

these impacted areas which
have been getting help and
will groan over its loss.
Whether they can form a
pressure group suitably re-

the Rules Committee votes
represent q triumph Of the
aged Virginia Judge, Repre-
sentative Smith, chairman,
over the young President who
thought he had been able to

rule. But on this particular
issue, the Kennedy choice OF

the Catholic Dem ocra is

Of the Catholic bishops rather

That so many tales involv-

the advertising talents Of
