Certainly the danger of putting a squeeze on partner was not easy to see in today’s deal, and yet Mr. Masters came through with some brilliant thinking which eventually brought about the defeat of the contract. He won the first trick with the king of clubs. Mr. Dale's play of the eight marked him with not more than two cards in the suit. This meant that three fast club tricks were there for the taking Champion Looks Ahead But what then? Either Mr. Champion would have the rest of the tricks or( if the defenders had stoppers in the red suits, they would have to be in Mr. Dale’s jhand. And Mr. Dale's discard on a third lead of clubs would probably subject him to a squeeze later. On this reasoning Mr. Masters shifted to the nine of diamonds at trick two. Mr. Dale’s queen forced the ace, and naw there was no chance for a squeeze. Mr. Champion had to lose three clubs and a diamond. If Mr. Masters had cashed three clubs at the start, that would have been all for the defenders. It would have made no difference what he led at trick four, but say he led a diamond. The queen would force the ace. Mr. Champion would then run six spades, leaving three hearts tc the king in dummy and getting everybody down to three cards. Obviously, then Mr. Dale would find it impossible to hold the king of diamonds and all three of his hearts. Suit Switch Was Key If Mr. Masters had even cashed a second club at trick two, the hand could have been made. Mr. Champion could have won with the ace and returned the jack, forcing out Mr. Dale's king. Mr. Dale would have had no club to return .and Mr. Champion would have had time to throw a club on dummy’s 10 of diamonds. Mr. Misters’ shift at trick two was a rare piece of defensive play. But, of course, he is a rare player.

—TOIX ROAD tary. Indiana's toll toad atmospheie brightened, meanwhile, as tht leaders of opposing Republican party factions reacned some accord on pay-as-you-go highways. Sen. Homer E. Capehart said he favored the toll road principle of Governor Craig’s administration and will introduce a bill in Congress allowing the state to classify toll road costs as matching funds for federal highway aid. Craig issued a statement saying he “welcomes" Capehart's support. ' Since all funds that go into toll load construction come from private banking facilities, this proposal will enable Indiana to secure federal highway funds

Happy 100 Years Martha Higgins, who will be 100 years old tomorrow, received a birthday card from President Eisenhower. Mrs. Higgins was known as Aunt Matt when she lived in Roachdale. Now she lives at the Del-Ray nursing home,

without the use of state moneys.” Craig said. He said the governors of 28 states favor the proposal. Capehart said he will propose that half the toll road investment be counted. On Indiana’s upstate toll load now under construction. that means 143 million dollars would count toward matching federal aid since the road will cost 286 million. Urged To Double Money To Cities INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 4.— (UP)— The 1955 Indiana Legislature was urged today to consider doubling the amount ot state tax collections given to cities and towns. The Indiana Study Commission on Intergovernmental Relations suggested that “as an emergency measure to meet minimum requirements,” funds made available to cities and towns might be increased from 13 to 26 million dollars annually. ‘‘A proper state agency should be authorized to survey the needs of cities and towns as a basis for an intelligent approach to the problem of financing minimum necessary public services, including construction and maintenance and streets and alleys,” the commission said. It said the additional 13 million could be obtained by giving municipalities half of all state liquor stamp tax collections and onethird of state cigarette tax collections. “The original alcoholic gallonage beverage tax was intended for the relief of local government,” the commission said. "The repeal of laws prohibiting the sale of alcoholic beverages has created additional financial burdens which might be met through such revenue.” This recommendation was contained in the commission’s 154page report, just made public Its overall tone is that federal aid programs should be discontinued and local and state governments given broader controls Most of the recommendations contained in the report were publicized previously. Some which were not: Schools Standardized state plans for school building construction must be adapted to all schools construction with ary form of state assistance. Water Shortage of water ir Indiana is becoming “serious” md legislation should be prepar- 1 id conserving water resources. Veterans^—Free hunting ami fishing permits should be continued for disabled veterans but discontinued for all others.

U. S. Will Pay Japan Huge Sum

The

TOKYO. Jan. 4 (UP

United States has agreed to pay ,n Japan two million dollars for losto life and property as result cf ts hydrogen bomb tests in the Pacific this year, the Foreign Of-

ice announced today.

The agreement was signed by Foreign Minister Mamoru Shigemitsu and L T . S. Ambassador

John Allison at a ceremony al the Foreign Ministry Building. Allison assured the Japanese in an informal statement after the signing that the United States "will take every possible precaution” against a recurrence of the Fortunate Dragon incident in future tests. "This is not a safe world.” he warned. "It is sometimes necessary to make dangerous experiments. But they should be surrounded by the utmost precau-

tions."

Japanese officials hoped the agreement would heal the antiAmerican feelings which were aroused by the atom-dusting o: 23 Japanese tuna fishermen neat Bikini March 1 last year and end the agitation against further- Hbomb tests. The United States specified that it did not recognize any legal responsibility to compensate the fishermen of the Japanese fishing industry for subsequent losses as a result of the "atomic tana jitters” which followed tht 1 illness of 23 fishermen md the death of one of them. • The United States niaintaine 1 that fishing vessels had been warned to stay out of the danger area and that the fishing boat Fortunate Dragon was in the danger area when it was hit by a radioactive fallout. Japan agreed that it would ask no more compensation from tbUnited States for damages rising rut of the Bikini tests. H-Bomb Warfare Would Doom Man CHAMPAIGN. 111. Jan. 4 (UP) Two scientists warned that a “small’’ hydrogen bomb war could spell the certain doom >f mankind within 1.000 year s. Dr. Eugene Rabinowitch and Dr. Henry Quastler. both of the University of Illinois, said in a joint statement Monday that the H-bomb's effects on heredity could thus begin the "creeping uicide" of the human race. Quastler, a physiologist, said ne generation alive at the time f the H-bomb war might .survive, "and its children and its children.” “But the eventual fate of mankind would have been sealed and acthing could be done about it.”

he said.

Quastler said it is not yet known how much H-bomb radiation it takes to seriously aff •et heredity "but we do know that radioactivity would have seme

effect.”

The danger, he said, would

be that the amount of r

ity would grow with

H-bomb explosion, drs

only slowly over a hundreds of years. "The danger is that ontanunate the atmo:

that every part of the the air and ocean will ly be affected." Quast'u

“It would be possib

plode enough hydrogr for mankind to commit

ticide.”
