MARCH OF EVENTS
CONGRESS GREATEST YET—L B J DECLARES
RUBBER-STAMP TAG APPLIED BY SOME
The President What Lyndon wants he gets?
By HENRY CATHCART Central Press Washington Writer XT'WASHINGTON—President. Johnson has utilized the partisan \V podium of a huge Democratic Party fund-raising dinner to praise the presently-sitting Congress as “the greatest yet.” In the context in which he spoke, he imdoubtedly meant every word he said. This Congress has worked hard and long on a series of legislative proposals backed by the administration. It has produced legislation that conforms largely to that requested, with a minimum of back-
ing and filling.
On the assumption that the President is carrying out what he deems to be an election mandate from the nation’s voters and that Congress is likewise responding to the mandate it believes it received, the President’s
characterization is a correct one.
Yet, many Republican-oriented voters and a host of independents and conservative Democrats must be disturbed as they witness the decline of effective opposition to nearly all phases of the Wltfte House legislative program. To many thinking voters regardless of political affUiation it is disquieting to witness the heaping on of accolades to what they can rightly consider a rubber stamp Congress.
It is entirely possible for this Congress to legislate programs wanted by a large majority of the citizenry and yet fall short of being the kind of independent arm of the federal government
establishment it should be.
No organization can long hold the esteem of its contemporaries by saying “yes” to all propositions that come before it. Closer examination of the proposals offered, and perhaps some alternative means of activating them would help enhance the stature of the legislative branch of the government.

• TECHNICAL QUALIFICATION—The voting rights bill now before Congress involves a seemingly endless wrangle over literacy tests as a pre-requisite for citizens to exercise their franchise. It all reminds Sen. Eugene McCarthy of Minnesota of an incident dealing with his son when he was about four years
old.
The pre-school youngster scribbled some lines on paper, handed the scrawl to his father and told him to read it. The puzzled senator returned the paper and asked his son what it said. Replied the four-year-old, ‘T can write, but I didn’t say I could
read.”
So it goes. Passing a literacy test does not necessarily mean that the individual is in fact literate.

• RESTORATION — Rep. George Grider, D-Tenn., has the proudest boast a freshman congressman can utter: he put his
district on the map.
Grider received a complaint from a constituent in his home town of Memphis that he couldn’t find the city on the wall map displayed by the United States Travel Service in Mexico City.
Naturally, the congressman tracked down the man in charge of such maps. Sure enough, correspondence proved that Memphis had indeed been dropped off the map in Mexico City. There was an explanation, of course. Memphis was lost because it was slightly overlapped as
sections of the map were joined.
The section has now been un-overlapped and Memphis has been restored to its rightful place for all to see, thanks to Representative Grider and the alert home town constituent.
Da Hang area Increased American troop strength \o m),000 compared to a handful who arrived in 1961. It brings Marine strength to 25,000 men—the equivalent of a full combat division. Da Nang dispatches said more than 6,000 Marines waded across a beach two miles north of Da Nang and that the remainder landed more than 100 miles south at the port city of Qhi Nhon, threatened by a Communist offensive a few miles away. Another 600 Marines landed at Qui Nhon last week.

There was no immediate estimate of the damage. No one was injured in the fire, although two persons in the area were taken to hospitals with apparent heart attacks. Vernon Silvers, 35, one of the apparent heart attack victims, was reported in fair condition after treatment in an oxygen tent. An unidentified woman was under intensive care. Both were at Western North Carolina Sanatorium here. Cooper said the fire broke out at approximately 7:30 p.m. EST, 8:30 p.m. EDT, Wednesday night in a processing building in which the Amcel Co. manufactures chemicals when “one of the volatile solvent materials caught fire.” Two workers were in the room at the time but both escaped without injury.

YOU'RE TELLING ME!

THE WORLD’S largest corporation, the American Telephone and Telegraph Company, reports record earnings for its 1964-1965 fiscal year—1.76 billion. This certainly disproves that old saw to the effect that “talk is cheap.” ! ! ! The town council of Norwich, England, is debating what should be the style of their sheriff's new ceremonial hat. What’s wrong with a sombrero? ! ! ! You'll notice, point* out the man at the next desk, that crocodile tear* are shod only by snakes-in-tho-grass. ! ! ! It’s a mystery of nature that the sky always looks bluer when viewed through an office win-
dow during work days than it does from your back porch on Sundays. ! ! ! Revenge is sweet if you’re the kind that enjoys forcing others to swallow the bitter medicine of their own words. ! ! ! Habit is hard to break. Perhaps that's why some farm boys, as soon as they move to the big town, start sowing a few wild eats. ! ! ! A traffic expert predicts that this year about a third of the population will at some time this summer be touring the nation’s highways. That gives us about 60 million additional reasons for spending our vacation at home.

West led the eight of hearts, and East took the queen and ace. East then carefully returned the five of hearts, forcing his partner to ruff declarer’s jack of hearts with the seven of
spades.
South happily over-ruffed In dummy with the jack of spades. “All favors gratefully accepted,” he burbled. Ttie trick turned out to be no favor. With the jack of spades removed from dummy East was sure to get a trump trick. The defenders also got a diamond, and South was down one. UNNECESSARY TRICK South should not ruff the third round of hearts in dummy. The correct play is to discard one of dummy’s low diamonds. This gives West an “unnecessary” trick with his seven of spades, but eliminates declarer’s diamond loser. West returns a diamond to dummy’s king, and now declarer can lead the queen of spades | from dummy to take a successful finesse through East. If East covers with the king of spades. | South wins with the ace of spades and still has the jack in dummy to capture East's ten. It was shrewd of East to return the low heart at the third trick, but declarer should have refused this Greek gift. DAILQ QUESTION As dealer, you hold: Spade K 10 Heart A K Q 10 9 5 Diamond Q J 5 Club J 9. What do you
say?
ANSWER: Bid one heart. Although you have 16 points in high cards and fairly balanced distribution, you should not open with one notrump. The chief feature of this hand is the powerful heart suit, and you should try to describe your hand with your bid.
