40 All Pass
Opening lead: Jack Of clubs.
The average graybeard would
play this hand with great speed.
Eventually he would slow down.
South trumps the second club
and begins to draw trumps.
East discards a heart on the
second trump, but our gray
beard goes right on, hoping to
set a new speed record for the
play of the hand.
Declarer draws all Of Vests
trumps, discarding q club from
dummy. AS it happens, this uses
up all of South's trumps.
No Way Out
South next runs dummy's
three high diamonds. Then
comes the long embarrassing
pause. How does declarer get
back to his hand for the re-
naming good diamonds?
There is no way to do so
and South gets only his own
five trumps and dummy's three
diamonds. At best, declarer may
get one additional trick, but he
is still down.
When this hand was played
last month in the annual in
tercollegiate bridge champion
ships, some Of the students
showed the way to older bridge
players. South must stop to
think after drawing two rounds
of trumps.
This early thought shows
just what will happen If South
barges ahead. He must switch
to two rounds Of diamonds be-
fore continuing with the
trumps.
After cashing two top dia-
monds South goes back to
trumps. discarding dummy's
last top diamond on the fourth
round of trumps. Then South
can draw the last diamond with
the jack and continue with the
two other diamonds for a safe
total of 10 tricks.

What do you say2
Answer: Bid two clubs. You
cannot bid two no-trump with
no stopper in spades, and you
cannot jump to three hearts
with only three trumps. The
only solution is to bid a suit
of your own and make a strong
bid later.

Kennedy, the Soviet Premier has told
the Afro-Asians that our Government
is guilty Of grossly interfering in
their internal affairs" and that they
must stand united against Western
"colonialism."
One must hope, however, that the
delegates at Moshi will recognize all this
as just another example of how the
Kremlin practices the technique of the
Big Lie. One must hope, too, that they
will give some thought to the real "co-
lonialism" of our time-the captive sta
tus of such lands as the Baltic states
and the Central and East European
satellites, including savagely suppressed
Hungary. Indeed, taking note Of Mr..
Khrushchev's way with the truth, the
Afro-Asian conference might even speak
out against the Communist colonial
lists" Unhappily, though, the past per-
formances Of this bloc suggest that
most Of It's members will confine their
criticism to the West and maintain a
discreet, quite unneutral silence as re-
CARDS the supremely imperialistic USSR.

Transition in RuiIroudino

At one minute after last Sunday
midnight sheaf Of papers changed
hands in the headquarters office Of the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad. The transfer
Of papers marked the end of independent
operations of the oldest passenger
carrying railroad in the United States
dating It's service back to 1830-and
the beginning of period Of co-opera-
tive operations with the Chesapeake g.
Ohio Railway. The end result is intended
to be full merger Of the two lines and,
hopefully, the beginning of a new era
In American railroading.
For the move toward Joint owner
ship and operation of these two carriers
is only one Of several consultations by
which the arrangements Of the Eastern
railroad industry are seeking to
strengthen their shaky financial posi-
tions and to improve their services
where there is public need and promise
Of profit. In the case of the C&O-B&O
merger, the former is able and ready to
finance a modernization Of equipment
and facilities Of the money-losing B&sO
on the basis of estimates that the II ,000-
mile consolidated system in the heavily
industrialized area serving eight of the
Nations ten largest cities will be solid
profit-making enterprise. Simultane-
ously, In approximately the same region,
two other major rail mergers are in the
making-the Pennsylvania and New
York Central In one case, and the
Norfolk g. Western and Nickel Plate in
another. If all are approved and carried
out, the prospects are for three basic
systems-competitive In some respects
and complementary In others.
Corporate mergers alone do not
guarantee all the desirable results, Of
course. Outdated regulatory practices,
some OF which developed in years when
there was reason to fear railroad mo-
noplies, have played a large part In
forcing the carriers into profitless dupli-
cations Of service, but the fact that the
Interstate Commerce Commission is
looking more sympathetically on merger
proposals promises new opportunities.
Likewise needed is a resolution OF the
work-rule issue and It's attendant heavy
cost OF labor featherbedding. Even here,
there is some promise Of relief through
recommendations by the ICC and a
presidential commission, although the
rail unions have turned to the courts
to prevent significant changes.
In any case, the carriers best
chance in years TO prove that they can
help themselves, and to the advantage
Of the public interest, was given start
last week end.

Inspired by Spires

For more than 40 years I
have been a daily reader Of
The Washington Star. It Is
one of the truly great news
papers of our Nation.
Ever since Spires Of the
Spirit" has appeared In your
paper I turn to your editorial
page as the first article to
be read on Sunday morning.
These articles by DR.. Harris
have brought inspiration and
comfort to countless thou
sands.
Your editorial page rightly
treats Of the local, national
and international problems
but it is highly commenda-
BILE that in a great newspaper
space is given on the editorial
page to exalt spiritual ver-
tiles. Eternal truths need to
be emphasized as much, II
not more, than problems Of
the day, which, of course,
pass In time and are replaced
by others. Not so with the
truth which makes man free.
So I just want to express
my thanks for printing the
inspiring articles by DR..
Harris.

Only a Slap on the Wrist

PRESIDENT kennedy'S mild and con-
ditional penalty on free world shipping
that engages in trade with Cuba falls
far short of being meaningful crack
down on the movement Of goods, civilian
or military, to the Communist controlled
island. It provides only that such in
dividual ships as have been in Cuban
ports since January are henceforth
barred from carrying United States
Government-owned or subsidized car
goes, but even agrees to lift that restric-
ton If the shipowners promise that the
vessel involved will not offend another
time.
This is in sharp contrast with ar
early October announcement of plans
for tough four-point program that
would have: /. Closed American ports
to ships of any country that allowed
its vessels to carry arms to Cuba. 2.
Barred all American-flag ships from
calling at Cuban ports. 8. Closed Ameri-
can ports to foreign ships en- route home
from delivering any type Of Communist
bloc cargo to Cuba. 4. Prohibited car
riage of United States Government cargo
in any ships engaging in Cuban trade.
In explanation, administration Of
ficials claim that free world shipping to
Cuba has declined drastically in recent
months, and that stiffer penalties can
still be imposed If needed. Even so, it
was acknowledged that 13 non-bloc
ships had called at Cuban ports in
January. Lloyd's maritime records in
dicate there were more, and that others
are due this month. There is evidence,
too, Of sharp increase in Communist
flag ocean traffic, mostly Russian.
1t is known, of course, that Cuba
is in deep need of great variety Of
imports-over and above what the
Russians may still be shipping in the
form of so-called defensive arms or in
backup supplies for its estimated 17,000-
man military garrison. Equipped as 1t
is, as revealed by the Defense Depart
ment's public briefing last week, this
Red force very probably already has
made Cuba the second strongest mill
tary power in the Western Hemisphere.
And this shipping slap on the wrist
will do nothing to weaken it. CaStro's
real Achilles heel will be found in
Cuba's continuing and urgent need Of
petroleum imports. The Havana die
tator will be cut down to size when,
and If, we decide to shut off his oil
by another quarantine" If necessary.

End of q Gobfest

Except for the last-gasp protests
from the die-hards, 1t would appear
that the Senate's filibuster to end fill
busters has talked itself into oblivion.
And none too soon, as the record of
3k weeks Of futility will bear out.
The end came, as expected, when
the liberals failed to muster enough
votes to invoke cloture. That left moth
ing for the immediate future except the
postmortems, which may be more re-
Vealing than all the recent speech
making.
After the defeat was conceded,
2enator Douglas of Illinois was quoted
as blaming 1t on an "unholy alliance"
between Majority Leader Mansfield and
Minority Leader Dirksen. From another
liberal corner, the Americans for Demo-
cratic Action accused Vice President
johnson OF breaking Solemn pledge"
to support the 1860 Democratic plat
form promise "for majority rule In the
Senate at the opening Of Congress"
This last apparently referred to
Mr.. Johnson's refusal to violate prece-
dent and perhaps the Constitution by
acceding to demands that he, in his
capacity as presiding Senate officer,
should make a new rule, which the
Senate merely could vote up or down.
This was more than unfair to the
vice President. And when 1t is con-
sidered together with irresponsible talk
about an unholy alliance, one finds
ample reason to take dim view Of the
notion that the majority is always right
and invariably should have its way. The
Senate is one OF the few remaining
forums In which minority can delay
and possibly expose reckless action.
This is safeguard which should not
be impulsively swept aside.
