and big city bosses have rushed

The former Congressman con-

"set back? Has there been
some confusion due to the use
of setback" to mean an OBJ
stacle or handicap?-Mrs D. M.
Goodfellow, Pittsburgh.
A: I'm the name of all that's
logical is not the way to ap-
proach this highly illogical
language of ours. The first and
obvious meaning of "set back" is
to put back to an earlier point
of time. But there also is, as
you indicate, the meaning of
hinder" and hence to delay.
Thus a doctor might say that
a patients recovery was "set
back" by his failure to respond
to treatment. Similarly a
farmer might-and often has
said that the time for har-
vest had been "set back" by
poor weather during the grow
ing season.
So, though there is certainly
no logic in a single phrase
being capable of two completely
different meanings-that's the
way our language runs.

Opening lead: Diamond king.
West should have led a
trump. This is usually the best
opening lead when dummy
shows enthusiasm for his part
ner's second suit. Dummy is
usually short in the first suit
and a trump opening lead will
reduce dummy's ruffing power.
Deaf to opportunity's first
knock, West opened the king of
diamonds. This won the first
trick and West still had time
to switch to a trump. Careful
defense would still hold South
to nine tricks.
West was worried that he'd
lose a diamond trick if he didn't
grab it right away. Disregard
ing the singleton spade in the
d UNI my, which virtually
shrieked for a trump lead, West
continued with the queen of
diamonds at the second trick.
No Third Chance
West didn't get a third
chance. South ruffed the sec
ond diamond, cashed the ace of
spades and ruffed a spade in
dummy. He returned to his
hand by ruffing a diamond to
ruff another spade in dummy
and then repeated the process.
This allowed declarer to make
his eight trumps separately.
The two black aces brought his
total up to 10 winning tricks.
Just see how different it is
if West opens a trump. If South
tries to ruff spades in dummy
he cannot get back to his hand
to continue the process. He
must let an opponent gain the
lead, whereupon back comes a |
second trump, This limits South
to one ruff in the dummy.

Mass meetings to espouse a
cause are not only legitimate
as an expression of the "free
speech" idea in America, but
they give a chance to publ
CHE movements that some
times have a hard time get
ting attention.
Last autumn, the Young
Americans for Freedom" be-
gan planning for a rally to
be held on March 7 in Mad
ison Square Garden in New
York. 1t was planned as a
manifestation of the interest
Of the younger generation in
the cause of anti-communism.
But lately it has been getting
some unfavorable publicity
because some of the persons
designated to receive awards
have not accepted the invi-
tations.
AS with some other new Or
CARNATIONS venturing into
the domain of public rallies,
mistakes have been made in
the planning of such events.
In the first place, only one
Democrat and several Repub-
licans in Congress were in
vited to speak. This caused
Senator Thomas J. Dodd of
Connecticut, a Democrat, to
withdraw his acceptance. He
said:
II regard the anti-Com-
munist cause as one which,
if it is to succeed, must func-
ton as a bipartisan move
ment which is neither domi-
mated by nor identified with
any political party or any
political faction. -.
When I received your
initial invitation, I had the
expectation that the award
presentation was to be a
nonpartisan meeting for the
purpose of honoring a diverse
group of Americans for con-
tributions to freedom and
anti-communism."
Then Senator John G.
Tower Of Texas, Republican,
who also had been invited
to speak, wrote that it would
be politically embarrassing
for him to be there. He said
this was because Gen. Edwin
A. Walker-who had been
announced as a Speakers

cratic primary for Governor
of Texas. So the invitation
to the general was with
drawn.
Another unfortunat e
episode occurred. The Or
ganization invited Noise
Tshombe, leader of the seces-
sionist movement in the
Congo, to appear and receive
a citation. But the Con-
golese leader hasn't been
able to get a visa from the
us. Department of State for
his passport. The State De-
partment said yesterday that
a visit by Mr.. Tshombe at
this time would interrupt
and jeopardize" efforts to
unity the Congo.
Where the planners of the
mass meeting Of the young
Americans for Ere e d o m, !"
made their error was in COM
bining a controversial rally
in behalf of Mr.. Tshombe
with an award-giving cere-
mony to Americans, among
them persons prominent in
party politics. Those invited
to accept awards may look
askance at possible misinter-
pretations that could ensue
from their presence at such
ceremonies.
This writer, for example,
doesn't participate in rallies
of this kind and about two
months ago declined an invi-
tation to accept an award at
the Madison Square Garden
meeting of March 7. AL
though he had never author
lied the use of his name, it
appeared by mistake on the
literature first announcing
the rally.
Conservative organizations
have sprung up in various
parts of the country. Some
are conscientiously trying to
promote worthy causes.
There have been organiza-

and on the radical sides

work for their causes on
