WHAT IS the use of being able
to read the cards pretty well, unless
you act upon your reading?
But then, if yoi^ don't make the
deductions which'are there to be
i made, you are just a crcature of
chance, acting on bland probabilities
when you could come close to
knowing the exact situation if you
exerted yourself a littte. Most
card-rcading is not fancy, and
could really be done by anyone
who acquired the habit of it. But
you cannot count yourself a good
player of the cards until you do it.

That was the bidding at two
i duplicate tables, and at both West
led the heart 3. dummy playing
the G and East the A. Now let's
follow the divergence of play from
there. At the first table. South put
the 5 on that trick, took the returned
spade 1 with the K. led the
diamond 2 to the Q an<l then the
diamond K..-which the A took.
East returned the spade 3 to the
10 and Q. and West then sent the
club 2 to the Q and A. South
Distributed by King I"
cashed tln> spade a ami J. then
the heart K and the 0 to the y.
Hoping two club honors would fall
together, lie led the 10 from dum(
my. but West took the K and J to
set the contract.
At the other table. South reasoned
that East would not have
played the heart A on the lirst
trick if lie had held the J. but
would haec used the latter and
held his A over the Q. Hence West
ha<l the heart J. So South put his
K under the A and now had nvc
heart entries to dummy, including
the marked finesse against the J.
East returned the spade •! ti> the
K. South led to the diamond q
and pave the I< 'to the A. The
spade .'! was won ><y the A and the

The diamond 10 then knocked out
the J. anil East sent a spade to

led the heart 10 to the Q and tools

to make his cont"»ct.

1944 Campaign Rehearsal
Taking Place In Congress
By ('riitral Press
Washington. Nov. 2a.— A relic r.-al
ol cine <ii Hie important features of
the IIM-I presidential t ;>i:>}>;■ is
taking place in Congress. It is :n the
lorm ul the battle over lnud sub.-idic>.
With victory next year a distinct
possibility. Republicans arc taking
full advantage fit the political impli-cations
in the subsidy issue. And IHmocrahc
le ders in House a t! Senate
arc trying to checkmate them.
Strategy of the Democratic leaders
is to work for a compromise that will
permit continuation of food subsidies
on a modified basis, Republicans oppose
a compromise. Their argument
is that payment of subsidies to hold
down prices is a fundamental issue
that c nnot be compromised.
If Democratic leaders ha\e their
way. a bill will lie pa>sed In-fore
C'hritmas continuing the lite <•! tiie
Commodity Credit Corporation and
providing lor continuance of the subsidy
program through l!)44 on a nioriilied
basis. That would end the battle.
Hut right now it appears th t liepublicans
and farm bloc Democrats
will have their way. In that ca-c.
Congress will pass the CCC bill, with
a ban on payment of subsidies at lei
January 1. The President will veto
the bill, and Congress in ; il probability
will fail to pass it over the
veto.
That would kill CCC. Ilut nobody
wants to kill the agency, which is
highly valuable to farmers. So to
keep il alive. Congress would again
pass a resolution extending its hie
for three or four months.
Democratic leaders don't want that
to happen. The battle would ha\e lo
be fought all over again in three or
four months. The Republicans again
could picture the administration as
hostile lo farmers.
In this way. the Republic us c • del
lose each lime, the subsidy program
could be continued, and the Republicans
could picture the administration
each three or four months of a presidential
election year as antagonistic
to farmers.
War Agi cy and Federal department
executives, press rei lions men
and oilier employes would be practically
speechless if they siidlcnly found
themselves without the intricate i>.it
tern of Washingtonese built up recently.
For instance, without the words
"overall picture" lo describe a general
situation the Washington government
man presumably would be unable
to carry on. The phrase must be
used thousands of times daily in the
capital.
Rare also is the bureau chief of
employee who doesn't speak of his
place of employment as bis "shop."
lalk about things at Federal. State or
local "levels." speak gliby about "direclives"
or about "spelling out" anything
from the general situation in
cranberry production to synthetic
rubber problems.
