Sit Back and Wait
By ALFRED SHERWOOD

It's all very well to play pat
when you can sit back and wait
for your tricks to come to you.
There's a different story to tell
when declarer has a long suit
on which he can discard losers
If you give him time.

Opening lead: Ten of clubs.
West opened the ten Of clubs,
not with any great hope of
developing a club trick but in
the hope Of saving what tricks
he had.
South won with the ace of
clubs and led a low heart. West
put up the nine of hearts and
held the trick.
It was a time for action,
since dummy's hearts were an
obvious threat, but West con-
tinued with the nine Of clubs.
Riffs Heart
Declarer won in dummy with
the queen Of clubs and ruffed
a heart. He cashed the ace of
spades, led a spade to the
queen, and ruffed another
heart. This got rid of East's
ace and king of hearts.
South cashed the king of
spades and entered dummy with
the king of clubs to lead the
queen Of hearts. East could
ruff, but South discarded a
diamond. South then got to
dummy with the ace of dia-
monds to discard another dia-
mond on the last heart.
South still had a losing dia-
mond, but that gave the de-
tenders only three tricks. Game
and rubber for South.
When West holds the second
trick with the nine of hearts,
he must shift to a diamond
to defeat the contract. South
will set up dummy's hearts, but
when East ruffs the queen of
hearts he can cash two dia-
monds at once.

Freeman on Forests

With characteristic frankneSs, Agri-
culture Secretary Freeman has told the
industrial users Of our national forests
that, while their economic plight is Of
real concern, the department will stick
with the broad program 1t thinks will do
the most good for the most people.
Carrying his message to the heart
land OF the strong Oregon aShington
Western Pine Association, Mr.. Freeman
took cognizance Of low lumber produc-
tion Of the past five years, and promised
. assistance in overcoming industry prob
lens. While refusing now to make q
basic change In the method of national
forest timber appraisal, he has set UP a
neutral advisory committee to review
the question. ....
But Mr.. Freeman made 1t quite clear
that the overall public welfare takes
precedence over any single interest. He
emphasized the departments growing
concern about location of roads, erosion
control, and the adapting of tree-cutting
to improve the benefits Of outdoor recre-
alton and preservation Of wildlife.
Mr.. Freeman reminded lumbermen
OF the 40-year program which will in
crease national forest output from 10
to Is billion board feet, reforest million
acres, double the fire protection pro-
gram, build many more forest roads and
step up research in wood products.
Urging q better understanding Of the
Forest Service program, he said: 'The
goal Of the Department of Agriculture
Is community growth. When people
stop growing mentally and spiritually,
they begin to slip backward. Communi-
ties are the same. . We want rural
people to be able to choose between a
Job at home and Job IN the big cities
without having to reject the first out Of
hand"

pectation that others who are able
also will be willing to do an increasing
share. This Is not, Of course, an entirely
new message, but its reiteration before
the top economic and financial authori-
ties Of the free world governments lends
1t greater emphasis. =
1t was appropriate, too, that Mr..
Kennedy should speak confidently be-
fore this gathering about the state and
the prospects Of our domestic economy,
and with calm firmnesS' about the basic
strength of the dollar and our intent
to maintain its integrity. The United
States is not in a panic, nor is it about
to run away from its proper leadership
responsibilities. Neither Is it inclined
to be too indulgent about partners that
are able, but in some cases not very
enthusiastic, about pulling their own
share Of the load.

The Presidents Word

The real message in President
Kennedy's address to the international
Monetary Fund and World Bank meet
ings here was contained in one para
graph. 1t was:
All Of US here are determined to follow
the only other feasible course-not the unac-
ceptable courses Of restriction, isolation or
deflation, but the course Of true cooperation
--of liberal payments and trade-of sharing
the, cost Of our NATO and Pacific defenses
--of sharing the cost Of the free worlds
development aid-and Of working together
on steps to greater international stability,
with other currencies in addition to the
dollar bearing an increasing share of its
central responsibilities.
In other words, we shall continue
to do, our part-and we recognize that
II is the major one-in the interests of
trade, security, development assistance
and currency Stabilization in the free
world, but with the hope and firm ex-

Key to Renewal

The House District Committee is to
be doubly commended for its approval
, of the bill authorizing the> District to
utilize urban renewal powers in blighted
commercial areas. For this authority,
first OF all, is vital In order for the
ambitious program Of rejuvenating the
downtown Washington business district
to proceed. 1t was equally important,
however, that the committee restrict
the legislation to- this single purpose,
raher than encumbering it with con-
troversial proposals for other changes
in the Washington renewal program
which surely would have wrecked the
chances of enactment. AS reported, the
bill simply provides q necessary power
to the District which most other major
cities already possess. This should be
made clear when the bill, probably on
Monday, reaches the House floor.
Unfortunately, an even greater
hurdle may exist In the Senate as
result Of the short time remaining be-
fore adjournment. The Senate District
Committee, for valid reasons, has been
reluctant in the past to clear bills with
out hearings. Perhaps the procedure,
in view Of the lack Of controversy and
the urgency Of the need, could be waived
in this. instance. If not, however, there
should be no requirement for hearings
Of any extended length. In any event
assuming House pasSage-we hope that
Chairman Bible will make every effort
to expedite consideration of the bill in
the Senate.

Bad Day for Dolphins

Nan has no one but himself to blame
for his present state of affairs, but when
he starts tampering with the defenselesS
dolphin, that dashing denizen Of the
deep, isn't he carrying 1t a bit too far?
Except for a big bully of the tribe-the
grampuS-the dolphinS have been known
to attend pretty much to their own
business.
The clowns Of the sea, they've en-
tertained ship passengers with their roll
licking antics More recently they've
been known to communicate with one
another, .and in times of stress, to 60
to the assistance Of one Of their kind
which is more than some humans can
boast. ..'
Now the National Aeronautics and
Space Administration is going to invade
this idyllic scene In hope of talking the
dolphinS into joining the space pro-
gram. It has been discovered the
mammals have knack of repeating
words, but SO rapidly and high pitched
they sound like gibberish to anyone but
another dolphin. BY slowing down tape
recordings, few words emerge in dis
tinguishable form. So space experts
believe man may be able to strike up
some kind Of communication with the
dolphinS, which later may assist in
contact with species in another world.
Perhaps 1t will be Just as well If
we never break the dolphin language
barrier. What we might hear could be
embarrassing coming from our supposed
aquatic allies. Such questions as, what's
with the depth bombs, the torpedoes, the
big atomic fish with Polaris missiles,
the nuclear tests above and below, this
phenomenon called radiationp whatcha
trying to do, civilize us?

How's That Aqoin?

AT least a few eyebrows must have
been raised bit when President Ken
nedy blandly told Pennsylvania audi
ence that what this country needs is a
Democratic Congress. zone fact" he
said, els clear beyond dispute. This
country requires, If 1t is to move ahead,
a progressive Congress-in short Dem
ocratic Congress"
It has been our impression, and
others must have labored under the
same understanding, that President
Kennedy, unlike Mr. Eisenhower during
most Of his two terms, has been in the
happy position Of working with Con-
gress controlled by his own party. AS a
matter of fact, If one can believe the
Congressional Directory, roughly two
thirds Of both Senator'S and Represent
atives in this Congress are Democrats.
So what is 1t that Mr.. Kennedy really
wants? Would he like a Congress that
is 90 per cent Democratic? Or would he
simply Danish all Republicans from
Capitol Hill and leave them, grumblins
and muttering, on the outside looking
In?
The truth Is, Of course, that the
President has had q Democratic Con-
gress. The difficulty is that Mr.. Ken
nedy cannot control his Democratic
majority; that this Congress Is a re-
Election of a country which split al
most $3.50 in the last presidential
election, and that the legislators simply
have refused to buy" good many Of
the fancier items in the New Frontier
package. ..o. -H
Furthermore, we suspect that Mr..
Kennedy, in his Pennsylvania speech
the first OF his Stumping tour-was
not really bidding for more Democrats
in the next Congress. He will be happy
II he can hold the Democratic margin
he, now has In the House and in the
Senate. .'

Tom Kelly, q reporter for the WASH
ington Daily News, recently had an ex-
perience with law enforcement in Wash
ington which was enough to distllusion
any citizen.
On June 80, In daylight, his wife
was insulted by two men o few feet
from the Kelly residence, which, Incl
dentally, is short distance from the
Capitol. When Kelly approached the
men one Of them slugged him and
threatened him with q knife. If the
reporters version Of the incident is cor
rect, and we know of no reason to doubt
1t, there was ample evidence to support
charges Of assault and carrying q dan
gerous weapon against one of the Of
tenders. -
49, At the United States Attorneys Of
flee, however, an assistant tried to dis
suade Kelly from insisting on prosecu-
ton Of the offender. Kelly, unlike most
people, was not easily diSsuaded. He
demanded prosecution; the trial was
held, and the offender was convicted.
= This brings US to the point which
seems most significant. United States
Attorney AcheSon, after full review of
the incident, has absolved his subordi-
mates Of any blame. He has gone so far
as to say that the people Of Washington
"can be proud of the office which is
the subject Of Mr.. Kelly's article" We
do not know how that office handles
other cases of similar nature. But we
feel obliged to say that we are not at
al proud Of the way it handled the Kelly
ease. Had 1t not been for Kelly's in
ststence, a slugger and knife-carrier
wehld not even have been prosecuted,
much less convicted.

Poisonous snakes In this

often are bitten. The survey
was made by going to nine
hospitals In the area and
checking the records Of
snakebite cases over O nine
year period. By this method
121 case histories were rec
orded. In addition to the hos
pital survey local physicians
wers interviewed. These had
dealt with nearly 1900 snake
bite cases over lengths Of
practices ranging from eight
to As years.
The length Of time between
bite and treatment was shown
in As Of these cases. While 50
of the patients managed to
get professional help within
an hour, eight had to wait up
to two hours and q few others
considerably longer.
One Disturbing Factor
Only three died and two
others suffered disabilities
which probably contributed
to death later. The shortest
time between bite and death
was 10 hours. The survey.
however. brought out one
disturbing note. There was
an almost complete lack Of
uniformity in treatment. I'M
