Criminal Detected After Bridge Hand By Alfred Shebmold "I’m going to catch the culprit tonight," Sherlock Holmes remarked to Dr. Watson as they entered the bridge dub. "One of the players is counterfeiting Confederate money." The great detective caught the criminal after watching this hand.

WOEFUL MISPLAY South misplayed the hand woefully. He should play a low heart on East’s queen at the second trick, thus allowing East to win. If East leads a third heart. South must play low from his hand and ruff in the dummy. The idea is to save the king of hearts so that South can eventually win a trick with it Declarer then draws trumps and leads the king of hearts to discard a dub from the dummy. This limits the dub loss to one trick. South loses only one dub and two hearts, making game and rubber. Sherlock Holmes put the handcuffs on East because he noticed that East’s pockets were full of counterfeit Confederate money. Holmes was too wise a bird to think that South was a criminal just because he played bad bridge. If we put all the bad bridge players behind bars the rest of us would die of lone-
liness.
SAIGON UPI — Military spokesmen today gave a rundown on three UB. operations ended during the past week, induding one multibattalion operation that was the first of its size to suffer moderate casualties in the war. Spokesmen said Operation Hastings, a joint U. S. Marine and South Vietnamese operation against elements of a North Vietnamese army division near the demilitarized zone received moderate casualties from its beginning July 7 until it ended Aug. 3. U. S. and government forces killed 802 Communist by body count during the operation and captured 15, the spokesmen said. Also announced in the weekly review of operations were summaries for operation Paul Revere X, a 25th Infantry Division action in the Central Highlands, and the 1st Infantry Division’s operation Springfield II U.S. and South Vietnamese casualties were light In both multibattalion operations. Spokesmen said 546 Commuists were killed between May 10 and July SI in Paul Revere I and 68 Communists captured. A total of 10 Communists were killed in Springfield II between July 28 and Aug. 1.
CHICAGO UPI — Leaders of Dr. Martin Luther King’s open housing drive turned their sights to new targets today and vowed to march into the streets of all-white suburban Cicero, scene of a bitter anti-Negro riot 15 years ago. "They can buy tanks and they can arm every child, but they can’t stop us from going into Cicero," the Rev. James Bevel, a top King aide, said after a church meeting Monday night. Another top adviser to the Nobel Peace Prize winner, the Rev. Jesse Jackson, told the cheering church crowd rights marchers would dare the streets of Cicero this week. The exact timing of a Cicero march—a major departure from the movement’s past forays into all-white Chicago neighborhoods —was still to be determined. The next planned demonstration was set for Wednesday afternoon. No destination was announced, but there were indications it would be either Cicero or the all-white Bogan area of Chicago’s southwest side. One movement leadership source said he believed Wednesdays march would be somewhere within the city.
A 9nUA& ^WASHINGTON hm—™ MARCH of events TOO MANY THREATS | UNCLE SAM NOW DECIDES OVER U.S. PRISONERS | TO SHOW MORE RESTRAINT
By HENRY CATHCART
Central Press Washington Writer
ASHIXGTON—After a round of outraged denunciation of Hanoi’s first decision to put 19 U.S. Air Force prisoners on trial as "war criminals.” U.S. government officials obviously are having serious second thoughts about the best way to prevent
Obviously, official threats to "punish" North Viet Nam can serve only to increase the determination of that regime to carry out its announced plans. This thought has occurred to Washington officialdom. There is an apparent effort on the part of the State Department and other agencies involved to soft pedal fur-
ther threatening remarks.
Congress itself seems to have taken the implied advice that it, too, should tone down its indignation and let the matter revert to where it should have been all along—the quiet, unpublicized negotiation by experienced diplo-
mats.
The government’s best hope to save the lives of the captured airmen seems to rest in the belief that, after trial and conviction, sentences imposed will not be carried out—that
the unfortunate men will be retained as prisoners of war, in fact,
if not in title.
Meanwhile, efforts are being pushed to arrange some sort of prisoner exchange between Hanoi and Washington. For Hanoi to accept such a proposal would appear to involve an admission on their part that the airmen are prisoners of war and not war criminals. On the surface, this would appear to be a difficult reversal of Hanoi’s stand. But actually, it would be possible for Hanoi to agree to the exchange without in any way receding
from its stand.
Such an agreement probably could be worked out only after a "war criminals" trial is concluded. The U.S. course indicated is one of patience and restraint until the Hanoi show trials have
been held. • * • *
• AGRICULTURAL INCIDENT—Rep. Eligio De La Garza, D-Tex., likes to tell the following story, which incidentally Trials the point that he has been a backyard dirt fanner. He says he was digging in his garden when his glasses fogged up. He took them off and continued with his work of planting an apple tree.-A little later'when he wanted to use his glasses he couldn’t find them. After looking everywhere he finally, in desperation, dug up the tree, and there were his glasses right where he had buried them. He concludes his story by saying: "And that’s how close I came to having a tree that would produce apples wearing horn-rimmed glasses."

Norris Cotton, R-N.H., has had some second thoughts following passage of the truth-in-packag-ing bill, which would require honest labeling of contents of retail store merchandise. Norris says that, if he had it to do over again, he would offer an amendment to the bill to require truth in the- labeling of U.S. currency. "Why wouldn’t || ow About the dollar have been a good place to start?" he asks. Evaluating Actually, Norris is having some regrets about Our Moneyf a political opportunity he missed.

BLOOMINGTON. UPI—Graduates of the Indiana University School of Business last June had 18:7 job opportunities from which to choose at starting salaries ranging from $5,000 to
$12,000 a year.
J. Douglas Snider, director of the school’s placement bureau, said a dark cloud in the increasingly bright pictures of employers beating a path to the campus to interview grads was the step-up of military activity in Viet Nam and the drafting of childless husbands.
East won the first trick with the ace of hearts and returned the queen. West ruffed the king of hearts and returned a diamond. Declarer won with dummy’s ace of diamonds and drew
trumps.
South eventually lost two club tricks, going down one. Sherlock Holmes then produced a pair of handcuffs and took the criminal off to jail. Who was the criminal, and how did Sherlock Holmes know that he was the counterfeiter? Decide for yourself before you

DAILY QUESTION As dealer, you hold: S1A Q J 10 4; H-K 7 5 3; D-7; C-8 3 2. What do you say? Answer: Pass. The hand is not quite worth an opening bid. If South’s hearts were headed by the ace or by the king-jack instead of by the king, the hand would be worth an opening bid. Likewise, South would bid one spade if the queen of spades were changed to the king. The difference is only one point, but there must be a dividing line somewhere between a biddable and an unbiddable hand.

Snider said only 42.25 per cent of this year’s grads accepted offers from business firms. He said the placement office last year scheduled 7,969 interviews for 897 graduates.

By LYLE WTLSON United Press International American citizens are being suckers for a hocus pocus daily delivery of free lunch for which they actually pay twice the value and for which the price steadily goes up. A businessman who managed his affairs as the politicians manage the Treasury of the United States would go bankrupt. A banker, a broker or a trustee of some orphan’s funds would be jailed for the kind of funny business in which the pols indulge themselves at the expense of the citizens. The pols are tapping every indivi- ; dual’s bank account, his wallet, his insurance policy, his kid’s piggy bank in a larcenous conspiracy to maintain themselves in office at public expense. Power to protect themselves lies with the American voters of whom it must be reported that they lack both the courage and the wisdom to act. What the larcenous politicians are inflicting on the voters is currency inflation. This inflation shrinks the dollars in your pocket, in your bank account, in your insurance policy. The disease is deadly if slow, like arsenic. The National Industrial Conference Board calculated a few weeks ago that a man with wife and two children would need an income of $13,234 this year to be able to buy the ; amount of goods he could buy with $5,000 in 1939. The U. S. dollar is now worth only 43 cents in purchasing power compared with the dollar’s purchasing power just before World War H. Big time spending by all presidents beginning with FDR has been the greatest factor in shrinking dollar value. Living costs creep steadily upward. Bread jumps two cents a loaf in one area. Milk prices hike in another. Bacon, beans and baby shoes cost more today that a year
ago .
American citizens seem not to understand that it is their dollars that are being shrunk by the politicians. Neither do they comprehend that the politicians will not change their ways. The good life for politicians with re-election purchased with federal funds has become a permanent way of life. This was predictable. In fact, it was predicted, as fol-
lows:
“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largess out of the public treasury with the result that democracy always collapses over a loose fiscal policy, always to be followed by a dictatorship and then a monarchy.” That was written about 200 years ago when the 13 colonies still were British. The author was Professor Alexander Fraser Tyler. He was not writing,
of course, of the United States. Tyler was writing of the decline and fall of the Athenian republic which had taken place about 2000 years earlier. Time has not repealed the penalty for loose fiscal policy. Neither has time modified the spendthrift exuberance of public men aiming for high office. For such it is common practice to offer billions here, billions there to this or that category of citizens in the hope that the populace will vote for them on election day. A promising young Democratic senator generally regarded as shooting for the White House in 1972 came up the other day with a big plan to hike Social Security payments. Ted Knap reported in the TVashington Daily News that this generous ploy would be costing the Treasury upward of $27 billion a year by 1976. The generous senator proposed merely to hike Social Security payments without covering the cost with an increase of Social Security taxes. To the addled voters of the American credit card economy that will probably look like free lunch. The voters don’t know much.
Business Highlites Gy United Pres* International WASHINGTON — Presidential adviser Gardner Ackley has called the recent flat steel price rise and the stalemate in the airline machinists’ strike "stunning defeats” for President Johnson’s inflation campaign. Ackley didn’t forecast what the President wall do about It but he left the distinct Impression that the White House will take steps quickly.
ST. JOHNS, Newfoundland— Premier John Smallwood has announced that a newly formed subsidiary of Newfoundland A Labrador Corp. will spend $120 million to build a cellulose shipping mill and a linerboard in the province.
WASHINGTON—Phillips Petroleum Corp. and National Distillers have agreed to dissolve their joint venture in the polyolefin plastics business, the Federal Trade Commission announced. The FTC has criticized the venture as being in restraint of trade.
NEW YORK — A decline in mutual fund sales this summer has the industry somewhat concerned. Sales in June and July fell below the previous year’s pace for the first time in three years. The general decline in the stock market is being blamed.
