loser " James Meredith leaves,

At . meeting sponsored by
the Michigan Friends of the
South at New Light Baptist

state senator since the Recon.
struction days some 92 years
ago. Leroy r. Johnson spoke on
"Breakthrough in Georgia. SEN

is the way Senator Johnson
spoke of his recent election in
Georgia. He went on to say that
this event did not mean that,
"all is well in the South, but
il does mean that the minds of
men are changing"
In regards 10 possible future
racial crises. he felt that they
would happen In ths North and
not in ths South because, "ses-
resssion In she North Is . hid.

South II Is open and we know
where II Is and how TO fight H."
To further illustrate Break
through in Georgia he told of
receiving telephone call from
Washington after his election.
II was from Senator Herman Tai

tions and volunteering his as
sistance at any time. He told of
how he and his wife we're the
first Negroes to attend the gov

was not a single boo, jeer or
slight"
After the meeting here the
senator returned to Atlanta to

Opening lead: Jack of clubs.
Declarer wins the opening
lead in dummy with the ace of
clubs and draws three rounds
of trumps. 1t is then time to
work on the spades.
South needs precisely four
spade tricks to make the slam.
A fifth spade trick is quite un-
important.
South should begin the
spades by taking the ace. Then
he leads a low spade toward
dummy. West casually plays
the eight of spades since he
would force declarer to play the
spades correctly If he put up
the ten or jack of spades.
Must Finesse
When West plays the eight
Of spades, declarer must take
a deep finesse with dummy's
nine of spades. Win or lose,
this guarantees the slam.
/ AS the cards lie, East is out
of spades, and the deep finesse
wins. The rest of the spades
are good, and South wins all
l3 tricks.
South wouldn't mind losing
the deep finesse. If East were
able to play the ten or jack
of spades, the suit would break
80. Then the rest of dummy's
spades would be good and
South would discard his two
low diamonds on dummy's last
two spades.
AS the cards lie, the deep
finesse is necessary to make the
slam. If South makes the mis-
take of winning the second
spade trick with dummy's king
or queen, he cannot develop
four spade tricks. South even
tually loses two diamonds, and
is down one.
