Opening lead: Ten Of clubs.
South wins the first trick with
the ace Of spades and thinks
first Of ruffing losing spades
In the dummy. II be does 80,
East will over-ruff, and West
will still get a trump trick.
South is no better off II he
rufus just one spade in dummy.
He can then draw three rounds
of trumps and start the dia-
monds, but West rufus the Sec
ond round Of diamonds and
cashes a spade.
The solution to South's prob
lem is to keep the power to
ruff spades in dummy, but not
to ruff any.
Trump Danger
South should see the danger
Of q AZ rump break. Since
he can afford to lose one trump
trick, he should lose 1t while be
can still ruff a spade IN dummy.
In other words, South should
lead a low trump at the Sec
ond trick. Since there Is still
a trump In dummy South Is In
no danger from the spades.
II the defenders lead an
other spade. dummy can ruff.
If they return a trump, South
draws three rounds of trumps,
clears the ace Of diamonds out
Of the way, and enters dummy
with a club to discard spades
on the high diamonds. He
doesn't have to ruff q spade;
he just needs the ability to
do so.
It is true that South gives up
the chance to make an over
trick when be leads q low
trump at the second trick.
Still, the difference between
making the slam and going
down one Is 1850 points. Who
cares about a 3O-point over
trick with $50 points at stake?
Daily Question
Partner deals and bids one
heart, and the next player

What do you say?
Answer: Bid two hearts. You
have only one point in high
cards, but should count about
four additional points for your
short suits. Be satisfied to
raise the hearts; your cannot

Any Day Is q Good Day

Pope John XIII has been hailed
around the world, and UNDERSTANDABLE
So for the grandeur, wisdom and pro-
fundity of his encyclicals on the nature
of man and the earth's desperate need
to establish an enduring, trustworthy
peace (Pacem in Terris).
His words on these and kindred sub
jects, wholly apart from adding up to
good literature, are formidable. They
are formidable in terms Of philosophy
and theology and the worlds other &C
cumulating writings on the meaning Of
us all in an age when we must reckon
with the posSibility-howeve remote
of mankinds total extinction, coming
suddenly like thief in the night.
Pope John spoke well and wrote well
on these matters. But we think that
some of his informal, off-the-cuff COM
mentS are particularly memorable. For
example, his remark: ANY day is a
good day to be born and any day is a
good day to die. I always think Of that
other shore and submit to the will Of
the Lord" And then, in lighter vein,
this splendid observation: "The tongue
is an organ between nose and chin which
sometimes is used disproportionately.
Hold it."
Small wonder that the world, on
both sides of the Iron Curtain, has been
Saddened by the passing Of this man.
Wholly apart from his aweSome status
as the Vicar of Christ on earth, he was
endowed with an immense degree Of
wit and humanity. Here, though, he
would caution against the flattering
tongue. Hold it," he would say.

A Roar From the TWenties

David Lawrence, who appears on the
opposite page, appeared there the other
day with comparison and prediction
that call for more detailed examination.
1t was Mr.. Lawrence'S ingenious
thought to liken current agitation for
civil rights to the disorders and early
sorrows Of the Prohibition Era. Both
periods of turmoil and tumult, he felt,
resulted from the ill-advised attempt to
legislate morality and to do so on the
Federal level AS he reads history, peo-
pie finally got fed up with AL Capone
and with having to drink perfectly
frightful stuff to hear Helen Morgan, so
they repealed the Eighteenth Amend
ment, leaving the control Of liquor up
to the States. g.
Similarly, warned Mr.. Lawrence, the
people are going to get fed up with all
this marching in the streets and de-
manding service In movie houses and
lunch counters. Like the "wets" Of 1888,
the honest citizens will rise up and pass
a constitutional amendment ito turn
the problem (of civil rights back to the
States"
Well, now.
We have long admired the medieval
literary device of outrageous COMPARE
sons and will defend to the death Mr..
Lawrence's right to make them. But 1t
seems to us that our columnist has the
terms of comparison exactly backwards.
The problem in the twenties arose
from the attempt to impose an unjust
law upon people. The problem now
arises from efforts to free people from
unjust laws and customs. The Eigh-
tenth Amendment tDdS an attempt to
legislate morality. Civil right agitation
is no such thing. 1t aims at securing
rights already largely guaranteed by
the Constitution. There seems to us a
world of difference between passing a
law forbidding a man to take drink,
and appealing to law to uphold, say,
citizens right to vote.
AS far as legislating morality is
concerned, civil rights laws, present or
future, leave the prejudiced person COM
pletely free to continue his prejudice in
his mind, In his home and in his speech:
he is free to continue his immortality.
Society simply stops making public
policy out Of his prejudices, which
seems to us reasonable development.

G. O. P. to the Rescue

The Stars editorial rebuke
Of the 80 House Republicans
pushing for civil rights legis-
lation betrays q false concept
Of the role Of partisanship in
forming public policy. If the
administration has indeed
dragged its feet in the area
Of civil rights legislation, the
Republicans as a responsible
opposition have the right and
duty to do so.
The G. o. P.'s case speaks
for itself. Not one admins
tration spokesman has APP
peared before the House Ju-
dietary Committee; Attorney
General Kennedy has can
celled two appearances. Any
savvy political observer
knows the administration has
been uninterested in new civil
rights legislation all session.

Pupil Poll Tax

Many States have abol-
ished the poll tax and many
are in the process Of doing
so. Yet this poll tax is being
put into practice at one Of
our elementary schools in
Vienna, Va. Recently the
Marshall Road Elementary
School had an election for
the student activities council
and it was mandatory for the
children who wished to vote
to pay a 2-cent poll tax. This
was done, according to the
principal. Mr.. Robert Jerecke,
to educate the students in the
history Of Virginia and the
tradition Of the State. 1t is
amazing that an educated
man put such a policy into
practice. Is this real de-
mocracy? The Fairfax Coun-
ty Board Of Education should
not allow the younger gen.
Grafton to be educated in this
manner and forbid any fu-
ture such practices.

State HOUSING

A recent action privately
taken by the Maryland Board
Of Public Works deserves
some public airing.
The Board has decided to
raise the rent of State-owned
housing for State employees
to the level of community
rentals. This action is aimed
supposedly at reducing oper-
ating expenSes-but its &C
tual effect might well be dis
astrous.
Let us take a concrete ex-
ample-the mental hospitals
where most of the available
housing exists. An attend
ant currently earns $3.50
per week.-Mrs. life thus is not
one OF luxury. In fact usual
ly he can only exist by liv-
ing on the institution
grounds. Is the State cur
rently losing money on the
rentals? The answer Is no
a cottage presently. crosses
$145 per month. And II the
rents are raised there will be
employees r esigning. This
will cost the State money to
train new employees. 3
Further. what might hap
pen to the patients? Is the
State going to jeopardize pa
tient care for the sake of real
estate lobbyists? We have re-
quested a review Of this sit
uation by Governor Tawes.
We know that the citizens
too will be concerned by this
injustice to the public serv-
wants.

costing that the best way TO
bring peace and tranquility
Is for the white folks 10 SUR
render 10 all the Negroes de-
