By HENRY CATHCAKT Central Press Washington Writer XCTASHTNGTON—Something funny is going on in President W Johnson’s White House staff. One or more individuals on the staff are spreading rumors that press secretary George Reedy wants out from his present position and would prefer to be returned to a job in the background where, so these stories go, he believes he can function better. This report or some variation of it has crept into print on several occasions in the past few weeks. They actually began while Reedy was vacationing in Acapulco, Mexico. When Reedy heard of them he lost no time in denying that he wanted a change. In fact, the tenor of his denial clearly indicated his own conviction that somebody was after his
job.
The overloaded White House staff is a constant topic of conversation in Washington. The burdens have been more severe than ever since the departure of Walter Jenkins. It has been assumed for many weeks that once the elections were out of the way a staff reor-
ganization would be undertaken.
In this atmosphere it is not surprising that an individual might seek to influence the job
realignment through the spreading of rumors. Reedy may be shifted, but if he is it won’t be because he asked for it.

• JOHNSONIAN ECONOMY—President Johnson is putting the finishing touches on the 1965-66 budget he will submit to Congress in January. Speculation is that all efforts are being made to hold the spending figure iy.der $100 billion. A key as to whether he will be able to do this can be found in some obscure figures just published by the U.S. Civil Service Commission. They show that as of Oct. 1, government civilian employment—at 2,449,527—was at its lowest figure in two and one-half years. This represents a reduction of 34,000 from the previous month and 23,700 below the figure a year ago. The cut-back was a record, showing the sharpest employment decline for any October in the last ten years. The figures show that the various government departments and agencies have taken seriously Johnson’s economy directives. They also show that determination at the top can do a lot to hold down the expenses of government.

• NO GAMBLING PERMITTED—The Post Office issued what it considered to be routine regulations last August to conform to federal law pertaining to gambling by its employes, including some 600,000 mailmen. They’ve stirred up a hornet’s nest. The regulation bars mailmen from engaging in any game of chance—even off duty. This is in accordance with a provision of federal law that pfohibits postal employes from “acting as
an agent” for a lottery.
Unfortunately, the wording of the law is so broad that it appears to include buying or selling chances, handling or mailing, delivering or even winning. A department official said there was
no intention of asking employes whether they have bought any church raffles recently, but it was felt they should know what the law pro-
hibits them from doing.
Oddly enough, the regulations exclude horseracing betting. In the opinion of competent at-
torneys, betting on the horses is a “game of skill,” not a “game
of chance."

to overtake and clear the suit. Declarer eventually had to develop his clubs, whereupon West took the ace of clubs and the rest of his spades, collecting 200 points for a 2-trick set. “Wrong guess.” South complained. “If I tackled clubs first, the ace of clubs would be knocked out, and the spades would be dead. Later on it would be safe to touch the diamonds. But how could I tell which ace was where?” DIFFICUI T CHOICE South’s choice was indeed difficult, but the expert would not have this problem. He I would allow West to win the: first trick with the queen cf spades. If West continues spades. South is safe even if he leads diamonds first. East cannot continue the attack on spades because h- has no more spades to lead. If declarer leads clubs f ; "st West can set up his suit but can never get back to take his spade tricks. A very fine West player would shift to the nine of hearts at the second trick, foreseeing that his spades are useless. If South wins the first heart trick he must again guess which suit U t-ckle in or'ler to force out East's ace before the hearts are set up. The expert would have no roblem. He ould refuse the first heart trick. Then b< Lh l-~ -g suits would be dead, a"d South could knock out b-lh aces without wondering which ace to force out first.
