credit to his community, but
it's the wrong play and it costs
South the game and rubber.
Sets Up Suit
The immediate heart finesse
enables West to set up his suit.
East covers dummy's jack
with the queen of hearts and
it doesn't matter whether de-
clarer wins the trick or hold
up once.
West gets in with one of his
aces to knock out the remain
ing heart stopper. South has
only seven tricks and must
knock out the other ace, where
upon West defeats the con-
tract with the rest of the
hearts.
See how different it is If you
play a low heart from the dunn
my at the first trick, thus post
poning the finesse. Take the
ace of hearts at the first trick
and knock out one of Vests
aces.
Back comes a heart and you
take the finesse at this time.
(Since you're not a mind read
er you don't play the king of
hearts from dummy The fl
nesse loses, but East cannot re-
turn a heart. This is the ad-
vantage of postponing the fl
nesse; if you lose the trick you
may be able to keep your other
stopper in the suit.
No matter what East returns
you can win and knock out
Vests other ace. Dummy still
has the king of hearts and you
win 10 tricks instead of only
eight.

China.
There are, perhaps, some wish
full thinkers in the West who
think the Sino-Soviet rift is so
great that Mr.. Khrushchev would
allow Mao Tse-tung to be at
tackled without aiding him. Mr..
Khrushchev made it clear in his
speech that this is not so.
Despite the usual fulminations
against Chang Kai-shek and the
"U. s. militariSts," Mr.. Khrush-
chev indicated his concern was
defensive. He did not back Pc
kings claims on Taiwan in the
talk. In this regard, he also echoed
Mr.. Kennedy's emphasis on peace
in the area.
In fact, Mr.. Khruschev said he
wanted Southeast Asia to "be-
come quieter and more normal"
AS an example of quiet and
normal" area, he pointed to Laos,
where the rival princes agreed
on a coalition cabinet last month.
The neutral Premier Souvanna
Phouma was in Geneva last week
for the reconvening of the IA
nation conference on Laos.
The conference was called or

permanent solution to the recur-
ring disturbances in the area. The

Medicore In Trouble

Meanwhile, the beleagured ad-
ministration was getting another
reminder in the medical care de-
bate that nothing on Capitol Hill
is easy these days.
Republican and Southern Dem
ocratic opposition coalesced on the
social security phase Of the pro-
gram, despite a bipartisan COM
promise worked out by Senator
Anderson, Democrat of New Mex
leo.
For supporters. the debate began
on sour note as Senator Dirksen
blocked a move to limit debate.
This may push voting toward the
end of next week. The compro-
mise measure adds coverage to
2.5 million persons over IS not
covered by social security, provides
for participation by private in
Surance companies, and puts ac-
creditation of hospitals in the
hands of the American Medical
Association and American Hospital
Association.

bill faces a rough time in the

diplomats. however. could not pro-
ceed so long as Laos did not have
a single government. The agree
ment last month presumably
paved the way for final big power
agreement on guaranteeing Lao
tian sovereignty.
After some optimistic speeches
on opening day, however, it be-
came clear that the conference
had begged down on one crucial
matter-the integration of the
rival armies. The West says that
If the Pathet Lao remain armed
and not integrated under inter-
national control, there never will
be peace in the area. The Com
munists talk vaguely of eventually
integrating. Unless the armies are
integrated, there seems no doubt
that Laos will remain unstable,
and prey to the Reds.
On the major international is
sue - Berlin - there has been
hardly any progress. Mr.. Khrush-
chev ignored it in his television
speech, and neither side seems
in any hurry to change the status
quo.
If discussions on Berlin are re-
sumed seriously, the new United
States Ambassador to the Soviet
Union, Foy D. Kohler, is we'll
qualified to represent this coun-
try. He has headed the Allied task
force on Berlin for more than a

York Interpretation in school,
religion relationship
Aside from number Of rela-
lively minor items, the Governors
delivered only one decisive verdict
at Hershey, Pa. They came out
unequivocably against Defense
Secretary McNamara'S proposal
to revamp the Nations reserve
military strength.
BY a voice vote, the delegates
urged retention Of the present
National Guard force Of 400, 900
men. The Defense Department
would trim the Guard and the
Organized Reserve from 100000
to $4,000 men.
On the issues OF medical care
for the aged and civil rights, the
Governors broke up in confusion.
On the former they baked fatty
against social security financing,
and failed even to pass a resolu-
ton supporting immediate pas
sage of a medical care plan for
the aged"
The civil rights attempt dis

found $2.5 million of electronic
equipment was being repaired at
a cost of $685. while the same
items were in oversupply in an
other service.

At the same time, however, an
other service was placing orders

Brings In More Computers
Gen. Mcnamara intends to put
a stop to this sort of nonsense. In
time he hopes to have his entire
inventory on computets. Every
time an order comes to DSA the
computers will report where the
items are and how many are on
hand.
One of the first things the gen.
eral did was to cut one area of
paperwork by 38 per cent. In so
doing he saved 1850 man-hours
of paper shuffling. Under the old
system field managers reported
to the Secretary of Defense
through four distinct channels.
Now they just report to Gen. Nc
Namara who, in turn, reports to
Secretary Mcnamara.

Tax Bill Deferred

This puts any action on the tax
bill long way in the future. If it
does get a fair debate before the
proposed Labor Day adjournment,
the basic indicators" may have
jelled to the extent Mr.. Kennedy
can make his judgment on going
for the big tax cut now or later.
Even as he was outlining his
strategy, the Presidents indicators
were beginning to roll in-moStly
on the debit side.
Possibly buoyed by the clamor
for a tax cut now, the stock
market made its Steadiest ad-
,vances in weeks, gaining in six
straight sessions before dipping
sharply Friday. Wall Street
experts saw nothing unusual in
either the rise or the profit-taking
weekend decline, saying the
market still is not out of the
woods"
Department store sales, usually
q barometer of retail business in
general, dropped sharply from
Mays record volume after sea-
sonal allowances. June's sales
dropped to 154 per cent of the
1o47-1949 average, down six points
from May, but still five points
ahead of June, 1861.

the stock fund revolving, the serv-
ices actually buy from DSA. They
send along a check when they
get the bill-even as you and I.
In the past military supply op-
erations were a sort Of never
never land where efforts could be
duplicated and activities over
Tapped. Each service jealously
guarded information concerning
Surpluses from each other.
Those Belt Buckles
In this happy, bureaucratic
heaven. the Army could insist on
shiny brass belt buckles and the
Marine Corps could demand black.
The Army, Navy and Marines
could buy different shades of
khaki shirts, none of which was
the same weight. Belt loops of
trousers could vary in width and
the Marines could have a longer
necktie than the Army. The Air
Force could have a shirt 70 inch
higher at the collar than any
body else.
These may seem picayune items
in a defense budget running $50
billion annually, but these differ
ences added $2.8 million a year
to the procurement costs Of the
services.

On his schedule, Mr.. Kennedy

exactly happy about tax cut

especially when he figures the
budget deficit would hit SIS billion

With White House approval,
Senator Byrd announced he had
scheduled a week-July 11-17-
for closed sessions on the omnibus
tax bill. Then that will be set
aside while the committee works
on the freer trade bill, which has
passed the House, and is probably
the dearest thing right now to the
Presidents heart.
