Sheinwold On Bridge Make Your Compromise In riaying; The Trumps By Alfred Sheinwold When you learn the best way to play a suit from the textbooks you may take it for granted that you can lead from the dummy as often as you like. In real life this is seldom true. You must do your best with the entries that you happen to have. North dealer Both sides vulnerable NORTH A K 4 V J 5 42 O AKQ4 A 873 WEST EAST A J 10952 4k A Q 8 7 6 S?

South, a bookish player, won with the ace of clubs, entered dummy with a diamond, and returned a low trump for a finesse with the queen of hearts The idea was to guard against a singleton king of hearts in the East hand. Leading the jack would cost a trick if East could cover with the singleton king, for West would then have 9-x-x-x of trumps and would win a trick with the nine. After winning the first trurr^ finesse, South led a second diamond to dummy and returned the jack of hearts. It was too late, for East covered w r ith the f king to force out the ace. South needed a third trump finesse to pick up East's nine, but when South led a third diamond to dummy East ruffed. This doomed the contract. Needed Third Entry South’s line of play would have been good if he had held at least one high club in the dummy. With the actual hand he should have led the jack of hearts from dummy for the very first trump finesse. This could lose if East had the singleton king, but this danger was somewhat remote. There was just as much danger that East had K-x-x of trumps and only one diamond. There •was also the danger that East had four trumps. With the actual hand, East would cover dummy’s jack with the king to force out the ace. South would discover the bad trump break on leading the .queen of hearts next. He would then get to dummy with a second diamond to finesse through the nine of hearts. Bridge players with champagne tastes must adapt to beer pocketbooks. DAILY QUESTION Partner opens with one diamond, and the next player passes. You hold: SAQ87 H K 9 73 D87 C J 9 4. What do you say? Answer: Bid one heart. With two four-card suits, respond first in the cheaper suit. Hearts can be bid more cheaply than spades.

Mental Power Test Needs Concentration

By United Press Internotional One day a Duke University student who usually scored well in tests for extra-sensory powers began floundering and flunking. A few questions brought forth the information that a certain girl had arrived in Durham, N. C., thereby diverting the student’s mind from extra-sensory matters to sensory ones. If you wish to tes'e yourself for unusual mental powers, absolute concentration is the first order of business. Without it you are bound to fail. Coleman Cooper consistently showed promise in experiments in Dr. J. B. Rhine’s laboratory at Duke. But one day he was called to the telephone and received disturbing news. When he returned to the laboratory and attempted to identify each card in a pack, his average promptly fell to three out of 25. The laws of chance are that you can average five out of 25 without any extra-sensory powers at all. It appears you must go into training if you are going to have success, both physically and mentally. George Zirkle was coming up with an average of 14 correct predictions out of 25 cards at Duke when he caught influenza. He continued the experiments in the hospital and his average fell to eight. When he recovered, he was back at 14 again. Rhine says age is not a factor. He has found extra-sensory powers in persons ranging in age from 4 to 60. Nor is intelligence any help because students getting high grades at Duke did no better on the average than those receiving mediocre ones. A group of 20 children at varying stages of retardation were tested. The most retarded did just as well as the

least.

There is no difference between the performance level of men and women. Extroverts of either sex do a little better than introverts. The one priceless ingredient that seems to characterize a person with unusual extra-sensory powers is a feeling of complete confidence. No doubt must ever cross his mind that he is going to perform well above the average. Confidence, in turn, is helped by a relaxed environment and congenial persons who are putting the subject to the test.

INDIANAPOLIS UPI—State Sen.-elect Nelson Grills, D-Indi-anapolis, has prepared bills for the 1965 Indiana Legislature to repeal the sales tax law and increase the adjusted gross income tax rate from 2 to SVz per

cent.

Grills wrote Gov.-elect Roger D. Branigin of his plans to replace the two per cent sales tax enacted by the 1963 Legislature with an upward revised rate on the adjusted gross income tax which would mean reductions in the state tax load for families of limited income. Grills said that under his proposal, the tax on the income of retired couple over 65 years of age with $3,000 income would be reduced by $36.50 a year and on families wtih two children and $5,000 income by $22.50 a

year.

The tax on families with two children earning $10,000 a year would increase $2.50 a year and that on families with two children earning $20,000 a year would increase $71.50. Grills said his proposal was j aimed at using greater income from the adjusted gross income tax to replace the revenue expected from the sales tax, in line with what he said was a mandate in the Democratic Party's state platform last summer. The plank says “The Democrtaic Party recommends that the adjusted gross income tax, which is based upon ability to pay, be used as a source for the revenue now obtained from the Republican - sponsored general sales tax.” Grills said the plank points out that the party “has always insisted that taxation should be based on the principle of ability to pay.” He said his proposal would reduce individual contributions to the tax program from $5‘^ million to $498 million, or from 1 65 to 60 per cent of the revenue, and increase corporation contributions from $283 million to $327 million, or from 35 to 40 per cent of the revenue.
