Opening lead: Six Of clubs

Opening lead: Six Of clubs
West opened the six Of clubs,
and the sun shone brightly.
Who would ever think Of reach
ing for an umbrella2
See what happens II you play
the hand carelessly. You WIN
the first club and lead q trump
with a light heart. West wins
with the king Of spades and
leads his other club-and that
should take the smile off your
lips.
When you lead another
trump. West takes the ace Of
spades and puts his partner IN
with q heart. East returns q
club, and Vests ruff Is the set
ting trick.
Simple Precaution
Inc way to prevent this
mishap is 50 simple that hardly
one player in q million would
notice 1t. The play was exc
cuted by Glenn Hoffman in the
recent Chicago tournament. I
Hoffman won the opening
club lead and returned q heart.
A simple play, but it was
not enough. u
East could take the heart
trick and return a club, but
West wasn't ready to ruff. BY
the time West was ready to ruff
a club he could never get the
lead to his partner.
The play was very simple but
very subtle. South had to lose
a heart trick sooner or later,
and he Just lost it before the
opponents could make good NE
of 1t. Tell the truth now: Are
you the one player in q million
who would see this play at the
bridge table?

Rev. |. Dynneson
Returns To His
Boyhood Parish

A home town boy who chose
the ministry as his life work, came
back to serve the church of his
boyhood in its four day celebration
of its Golden Jubilee celebration
here. Rev. Lawrence Dynneson,
who is presently serving a parish
at Louisville, Miss, with his fam
lily, was the guest speaker at the
celebration which opened with a
Jpecial service at Bronson Luth-
eran Church 6 miles northeast of
Sidney, Thurs. evening, June IA.
The Friday evening service was
centered on the activities of the
Luther League of the church, and
the Saturday evening service,
stressed youth work. After these
services, lunch was served by
ladies of st. Peters Lutheran
Church on Thursday, and by ladies
of Bronson Lutheran on Friday.
The two churches although in
separate parishes, are affiliated,
and are served by the same min
lister, the Rev. p. j. Vammen of
Culbertson. Sundays services in
cluded an 1900 am. worship ser-
vice, a pot luck dinner at noon,
and the concluding service of the
Jubilee at ,2:30 pm. The Rev.
Syvind Nelson of Willow City,
N. d. also gave a short sermonette
and Rev. Stanley Larsen of Sidney,
pastor of Pella Lutheran, and a
former Bronson pastor, brought
greetings. Special music was pro
vided at all services by Rev. Dyn-
neson's family, Alvin Christensen
and others. Andrew Dynneson,
president of the congregation, SER
we'd as master Of ceremonies for
the Jubilee. Mrs. c. w. Rasmus-
sen read the history.
The church was originally a
part of Pella Lutheran Congrega-
ton, which celebrated its golden
anniversary in 1859, but separated
from Pena and established its
own congregation in 1912. At this
time, the church was also built.
The two churches continued TO
share the, same minister until
about four years ago, when the
relationship was finally dissolved.
Pastors who have served Bror-
son from its founding until the
present include: Rev. Damskov,
| Rev. Anthem Hansen, Rev. Carl
Nielsen, Rev. p. c. Jensen, Rev.

approaches which currently are being
described to interested organizations
throughout the Potomac River Basin
by the United States Corps of Engineers.
Later this year, the corps will make
firm recommendation on how best to
cope with the multitudinous problems
of the basin, eliminating lengthy study
that is not yet complete. After that, a
considerable period will elapse before a
final decision is made, during which
Maryland will have an ample oppor-
tunity to express itself and, in possess
sion of all the facts, will be in much
better position to do so.
Mr.. Lee is pressing for public
hearing on the resolution, at which
Montgomery citizens would be able to
testify, in advance of any committee
action. This is the least that should be
done. A better course would be for the
Legislature to put the whole matter
aside until next year.

Ignoring a Promise

A proposal that land bordering
the new Dulles Airport expressway be
reserved for park purposes ignores re-
peated Federal promises that the land
would be made available to Virginia
authorities for construction of roads to
serve commuter traffic. Such local traf-
fic will be barred from the so-called
"single purpose" airport highway access
to which will be strictly limited and the
Government ought not to back away
= from its original agreement to permit
the State to build commuter roads par
alleling the airport throughway.
When plans for linking the Chan
tilly air terminal with Washington
were under consideration by Congress,
ElWood Quesada, then head of the Fed
eral Aviation Agency, recommended
that the Federal Government build and
maintain the expressway exclusively as
a high-speed highway for airport traf-
fic. He opposed efforts of Fairfax
County authorities to have the express
way opened to local traffic. However,
he agreed to reserve strips along the
expresSway for State roads to accommo-
date residents of the satellite communi-
ties expected to spring up near the
airport and along the approach route
Legislation authorizing the expressway
therefore called for a 400-foot right-of-
way-enough to provide for the parallel
roads if Virginia wished to build them
And Mr.. Quesada's successor as FAA
administrator, Najeeb Halaby, told Con-
greSs last year that he believed the
Federal Government would be willing
to contribute the land for such State
roads.
However, it is now reported that an
informal agreement has been reached
between the FAA and the National Park
Service to give the latter agency full
control of the adjacent strips of land
for development as park facilities. AS
Superintendent Jet of National Capital
Parks told The Star recently, use of any
of this land for local roads doesn't
seem to be consistent at all with our
way of doing things" But neither would
it be consistent to turn the land over to
the Park Service and thus repudiate
the promises to Faixfax County.

Vandalism

1t was indeed refreshing to
read in the February 4th
Sunday Star about the new
Congressman, Representative
Graham B. Purcell, jr., from
Texas. who had the courage
to do something about the
widespread juvenile delin-
quency in his home town.
I hope Mr.. Purcell's expert
ence in dealing so effectively
with delinquents will be
quickly recognized in the Ma
tons Capital, and that he can
be appointed head of a COM
mittee to counterfeit without
delay some of the wanton
destruction in the District of
Columbia. No wonder the
District is in need of funds,
with all the repairing of so
much needless destruction
by vandals. For instance, just
recently those Arlin g t o n
school buses which could not
make their routine collection
and delivery of students
without first reinflating all
their tires!
Boys will be boys, yes, but
such a lack of respect for
public or private property is
inexcusable and should not
be tolerated.

War That Isn't War

In his Chicago address, Defense
Secretary Mcnamara was reaSSuring on
the score OF our strategic nuclear power
He repeated what others have said
that we have the means to survive
surprise attack and to strike back with
sufficient power to destroy the enemy
target system" He also spoke hopefully
of our growing capacity to fight little
WarS"-Wars in which first reliance
would be on conventional weapons. as
means of lending credibility to our
strategic striking power, but in which
we would ultimately use nuclear Weap-
ons If necessary to win, assuming that
our vital interests were sufficiently
involved.
more difficult problem arises, he
said, in the case of wars which are not
wars, or what Mr.. KhruShchev calls
wars of liberation" And these con-
flictS, whatever one may call them,
present serious challenges on the pc
riphery of the free world. They are
compounded of hit-and-run raids, am
bushes, assassinations designed to ter
rorize the local population, and, of
course, political subversion. This is
what we are trying to contend with
now in Wet Nam, where a numerically
small guerrilla force, backed by the
Communists, threatens the established
government.
In this endeavor, Mr.. Mcnamara
spoke of the need to learn to work
with and train very small military units
and to so simplify our tactical weap-
ons that they can be used by men "who
have never seen machine more COM
plicated than well sweep" Combating
this kind of warfare, he added, de-
mands more in ingenuity than in money
or manpower.
1t also demands something which
the Secretary did not mention--a real
will to fight on the part of the be-
leaguered people. And the extent to
which this will exists in such places
as Wet Nam is at least an open ques-
ton. Given time, and an effort on the
scale to which we are now committed,
it ought to be possible to teach the
Vietnamese hoW to fight the Commu-
nists. But we cannot endow them with
the will to fight, with sense that they
have something worth fighting for.
This must come from within.

The Jdnnns in Trouble

In their own fashion, the riotous
demonstrations against Prime Minister
Cheddl JaganS leftist government in
British Guiana serve as yet another
SOLDERING example of the risks involved
IN granting independence to peoples
before they are really ready for it.
Situated on the northeastern coast
OF South America, Guiana is about
$1,000 square miles in area, roughly the
size of Idaho. Much of it is wild Jungle.
and its population of some $4,000, in
Guiding very small but influential
white minority, is made up chiefly of
East Indians ESTIMATED at nearly 48oh
of the totaD and Negroes Tin the neigh
borhood of 429o).
These two groups are descendants of
immigrants brought in during the 10Th
century primarily to work on the sugar
plantations of what is now being proc
eSsed-out as a colony of Britain. There
has long been Worrisome degree of
racial friction between them and this
has spilled over, inevitably, into the
political field. Thus the Indians have
given overwhelming support to DR..
Jagan, who is one of them although
educated in the United States as a
dentist and married to the former Janet
Rosenberg of Chicago. The great ma
jority of Guiana's Negroes, on the other
hand, have voted against him and made
clear that they oppose the far-left
policies that he and his politically busy
wife espouSe
1t is this Negro opposition, with
its significant anti-Indian aspect that
has exploded into mob violence in the
streets of Georgetown, Guianas capital.
The primary reason for the blow--up
appears to have been the Jagan re-
glme's proposed economic measures.
including a program of compulsory

programs carried out in all Communist
countries. In addition, union leaders

and-Wife team before it imposes upon
Guiana Mountaineering tyranny of
the type now ruling in Havana.
So it is an irony of sorts that free
Britain, which has no love for the
man, has responded affirmatively to Mr.
Jagan's cry for military help. Almost
needless to say, there are many reasons
why the custer or sudden downfall of
this pro-Soviet troublemaker would be
good, but the mob cannot be allowed
to take charge Accordingly, with Brit
ish military intervention, Guiana is
quiet at the moment, and London can
be counted upon to postpone the grant
of full independence until there is
a Georgetown government competent
enough to insure that the place will
not become Red satrapy or sort of
Congo in the Western Hemisphere.

LincoInionu

An article on Cne eQlCOrlal
page of The Sunday Star re-
Gently contained a statement
by Ben Pitman, official re-
corder of the trial of four
persons hanged in connection
with the death of Abraham
Lincoln, as follows: "MrS.
Mary Surratt was innocent
of any prior knowledge of
participation in the plot"
Among a number of books
relating to Lincoln, the
writer has one entitled 1.-THE
Suppressed Truth about the
Assassination of Abraham
Lincoln" by Burke McCarty.
The author states the Mary
Surratt House on H street,
at present used by Chinese
merchants, was a rendezvous
not alone of the conspirators
involved in Lincoln's assass-
nation, but also the con-
spirators who plotted the ST.
multaneous attempt to kill
William H. Seward, Secretary
of State, General U. S. Grant,
and Vice President An
drew johnson.
The book was privately
printed during 1924 by Miss
McCarty at her own expense.
A check was mailed to a post
office box in Philadelphia,
but the letter was returned
marked, Address not known.
DR.. Gilbert Owens Nations, a
member of the faculty in the
Graduate School at the Amer
lean University, informed
the writer that Miss McCarty
was afraid that she would be
kidnapped and killed for
publishing the truth about
Lincoln's assassination and
came to him for advice. Judge
Nations mentioned that it
might be possible to obtain
a copy from Mr.. w. Lloyd
Clark at Milan, III. In addition
to selling books, Mr.. Clark
also published a magazine
called, THE Rail Splitter"
Accordingly, a copy of the
book was obtained from him.
A few years later his home
at Milan was burned to the
ground by fanatics.
In reality Miss McCarty has
shown the fortitude and cour-
age of a modern Joan of Arc
inasmuch as she spent seven
years of her life doing re-
search work in connection
with the foul murder of Abra-
ham Lincoln.
Some patriotic organization
such as the Daughters of the
American Revolution should
arrange to have Burke Nc
Carty's book reprinted and
sold at cost, and it is hoped
that copies of the book will
be distributed to every public
library and college library in
our beloved country.
