Tobin, in the South, went right in with the king. , returned a small club and finessed tbe jack. Declarer then started the diamond suit by leading the queen from dummy, and cashed his ace, king and jack. On the third and fourth diamonds, West was forced to make two discards. His first was the five of hearts. He then decided to bear down to the king of hearts, feeling that the declarer would not piay him for this card and might finesse the heart suit. However, Tobin next, played the ace of hearts, which dropped West’s king. A small spade was led, throwing West in the lead with the ten. West then cashed his jack of spades, but now had to lead a club away from his king, which allowed the declarer's queen to make, giving him the needed trick for game. (Copyright. 1934. bv NFA Service.

U. S. ISOLATION IN WAR TIME IS URGED BY RABBI Europe Nearer Strife Today 'Than in 1914, Says Clergyman, Strict isolation of America in the event of another war was urged yesterday by Rabbi Jacob Tarshish, Columbus, 0., noted lecturer, in an address before the Rotary Club. “Our entry into the European war in 1917 now may be recognized clearly as a mistake," the rabbi asserted. "We sent 4,000,000 of our finest men into the service, saying that we would make the world safe for democracy. We did not do that. In no other way did we gain a thing. Europe is nearer a war today than it was in 1914. America should stay out and announce that we automatically will terminate all relations with nations which enter a war.” Speaking on “The Strength and Weaknesses of America,” Rabbi Tarshish discussed the nation's trends in politics, economics, religion and international affairs. The national recovery act is not an emergency measure, he declared. It is a permanent program in line with the new realization that rugged individualism is a thing of the past, that co-operation in business and industry is absoluetly necessary to the future of the nation, he said. Rabbi Tarshish warned that, from a political standpoint, America must avoid danger in the future of elevating the unfit, the self-seekers and the selfish to responsible public office. This country’s future strength also is dependent upon development of religious good-will, he asserted. “It is not enough that we merely have religious freedom,” he said. “It is not enough that I can worship in my temple if while doing so I hate the Catholic worshipping in his cathedral or the Protestant in his church. There must be a new attitude toward religion wherein no one will assume that his own vision of religion and of God is the only true one.”
