SHEINWOLD ON BRIDGE
Keep Dangerous Enemy From Winning A TrlcK By Alfred Sheinwold Most bridge players go after finesses as a small boy goes after candy. The results are much the same, except that the pain is in the wallet rather than in the tummy. Test your self control by choosing the right finesse in each article this week.

. West opens the six of hearts, and you play the queen of hearts from dummy. Do you plan to try the finesse in clubs or in diamonds? The answer depends on what happens to - dummy’s queen of hearts at the first trick. If the queen of hearts wins, you know that West holds the ace. You can safely let West -win a trick, but if East gained the lead he would return a heart and then West would defeat the contract with the rest of his long suit You must, ' therefore, develop your tricks •in such a way as to keep East out of the lead. Win the first trick in dummy with the queen of hearts and lead the queen of diamonds for a finesse. West takes the king of diamonds and returns a club. REFUSE FINESSE Refuse the club finesse. Go up with the ace of clubs and take your nine tricks; three spades, one heart, four diamonds and one club. Your plan would be different if East could play the ace of hearts to win the first trick. He would return a heart, and you would refuse the trick. You win the third heart, and now you recognize that West is the dangerous opponent If West gets in he will take the rest of bis hearts.
After taking the king of hearts you lead the queen of clubs for a finesse. East wins and returns a diamond. Go right up with the ace of diamonds and take your nine tricks: three spades, one heart, one diamond and four clubs. In a case of this sort you choose the finesse that loses to the “safe” opponent. You refuse to take the finesse that would lose to the dangerous opponent. DAILY QUESTION Partner opens with one spade and the next player passes. You hold: S-9 6 5 3 2; H-10 9 7;
D-6 5 3; C-K 7. What do you say? Answer: Bid two spades. You have only 3 points in high cards and 1 point for the doubleton, plus 1 point for extra length in spades. The total is only 5 points, with 6 points usually needed for a response. Nevertheless, you are advised to raise to two spades because this bid helps shut the opponents out of the bidding. If your partner goes down at a spade contract, the odds are very good that the opponents could make a good score at a contract of their own.

By K. C. THALER LONDON UPI — Russia.! which until recently scoffed at the idea of an armed clash with; Red China, no longer dismisses the possibility of eventual 1 confrontation with her one-time
ally.
The danger is seen b y Communist diplomats to loom from miscalculation on the part of the Peking regime rather ; than from a deliberate armed showdown with the mighty Red! army. The Peking regime, they! argue, troubled by internal difficulties and a threatening economic crisis of major proportions, may try to divert attention from the uneasy home front to external problems, including the Sind-Soviet con-
flict.
“There is nothing more apt to divert attention from internal shortcomings than conjuring up an alleged threat from outside to the security and interest of a country,” Communist diplomats reason. Sees Little Chance The Russians, it appears, do not anticipate any drastic change in Peking’s policies for a long time to come. They do not anticipate any policy switch by Mao Tse-tung and say they doubt very much whether the regime that will follow after his death or retirement is likely to alter Red
China’s course and especially, relations with the U. S. S. R. in j any decisive manner. Any change, if it comes, will be slow: to materialize. Moscow is taking precautions; on an increasing scale against i any possible military ventures; by Peking along its frontier; with the Soviet Union. This; includes military reinforce- j ments on a large scale and other recurity measures. On present indications China is not likely to take on the Red Army in a direct armed collision. Local Clashes Possible But local clashes apparently i are no longer ruled out. There is also the fact that; China now has the atom bomb. 1
The Russians, it appears, are very much aware of this fact and they seem increasingly uneasy about it, even if they tend to minimize the problem. But there are growing Indications that before very long China will have medium range rockets which could carry a nuclear weapon into Russia. What worries the Soviets, apparently, is the seeming lack of responsibility of the Peking regime. Also, the threat that stems from Peking’s proclaimed contempt for dangers that could involve the deaths of millions of people if they occur in the case of so-called holy revolutionary wars of liberation from Western imperialism or Soviet revisionism.

By LARRY D. HATFIELD WASHINGTON UPI — The American farmer is ready for a “farm bill to end all farm bills,” according to a national farm leader who claims to represent about 60 per cent of the nation’s full-time fanners. President Charles B. Shuman of the American Farm Bureau Federation says farmer unrest and dissatisfaction with government farm policy is stronger than it has been in many years and farmers are determined to get rid of government
farm controls.
As a result, Shuman told re-
porters Thursday, he sees an optimistic future for a Farm Bureau bill to get the government completely out of the feed grain and wheat business, be-
ginning with 1968 crops. The bill, introduced by Rep.
Thomas B. Curtis, R-Mo., would repeal authority for the current

Shuman said elimination of government price support and control programs would lead to a free market situation where “consumers would be willing to pay more for food at the grocery store than they would at the ballot box.” He admitted prices for “some” foods might be higher if government farm programs were ended, but insisted that consumers would actually pay less in the long run for food because they wouldn’t have to pay as many taxes to keep the farm programs going. He said consumers are willing to pay the higher prices for what they want, but if they must continue to pay taxes to keep food policy decisions in the political arena, they will push for lower prices at the supermarket. Shuman said he thinks the Curtis bill Is a “winner” but Farm Bureau officials backed off from predicting action on it during this session of Congress.

HONG KONG UPI —- Mao Tse-tung’s cultural revolution to purge China of all opposition failed and “conspiraciea for staging counter-revolution” are still afoot, Radio Peking admitted today. In a broadcast of a Red Guard declaration, Radio Peking said, “The powerholders who take the capitalist path in the party are still there . . . and are conspiring for a counterattack against the revolutionaries.” The Red Guard adopted the declaration at a Peking rally last Saturday, the broadcast said. Meanwhile, the Hong Kong newspaper “Star” reported Sunday that 10,000 persons have died in south and central China from an epidemic of meningitis and encephalitis. The rightwing newspaper said 20 persons a day died of meningitis in Chung-shan which borders the Portuguese territory of Macao. Health officials in Macao said “an unusually large number” of persons were afflicted with meningitis including “some” deaths. An epidemic of measles also has broken out in Hong Kong indicating that disease has also spread across southern China.

Washington tlovo down

By HENRY CATHCART Central Press Washington Correspondent TBTASHINGTON—As economic good time* enters Its seventh successive year, administration business-watchers are showing a lot of concern about future prospects. The day probably never will come when government will frankly forecast a business downturn, but some of its economists are coming quite
close to it these days.
What’s more, they have convinced President Johnson of the serious economic potential that lies ahead to the point where he has authorized them to tinker with the mechanism. This action is being described in Washington as “fine tuning,” but In fact it is more than that. Government economists are casting around for ways to stimulate business activity without risking the revival of the rampant infla-
tion of a year ago.
Federal efforts to control economic conditions run a predictable course: either the results of these actions occur over an accumulation of time, in which event they tend to over-shoot the mark; or the fact that government is tinkering creates a reverse psychology in the business community and trend is ac-
celerated rather than checked.
Some economic observers think that a mixture of these two ingredients may occur in the present situation. First, they believe; the fall-off in overall business activity will be sharper than is now anticipated. Then, as government tries harder and finds more shoring-up steps to take, its actions will overshoot the mark and bring about inflation that requires severe measures. Forecast: A continuation of the economic roller caster, probably accompanied by deeper valleys and higher peaks.

• THE BUREAUCRATIC MIND—A few years back the administration’s top economic policy group was known as the “troika” because it consisted of the heads of the Treasury, the Council of Economic Advisers, and the Bureau of the Budget. The tight little group was expanded to include the chairman of the Federal Reserve Board and the need for a new descriptive name arose. The first word that popped into their minds was “quartet,” but this implied a degree of harmony that would be misleading in some instances. Finally the dictionary supplied the right word, “quadriad,” which was adopted. The word states it is a group of four, but does not indicate that they always sing together.

• WORD COINING—Govemmentise, if you will, continues to play havoc with the English language. Some new words and
definitions:
“Fine tuning” is the government effort to keep the national economy on a course of satisfactory expansion. “Disintermediation” is what happened during the tight money period of 1966 when people, instead of putting their savings in banks and savings and loans, Und* Sam known as “financial itermediaries,” ivested the money directly in the security markets, thus Up avoiding the use of intermediaries. Mora Words “Facilitize” is a word invented at anti-poverty conferences, and means the steps required to get something done. Next, in natural sequence, will come "detuning,” “undisintermediation” and "defacilitize.”
By ROBERTA ROESCH How can I get ready now to market a product I make for next Christmas?” a woman from Pennsylvania writes. ‘I want to do this on a small scale only, but I definitely want to do it, since Td like to earn a few dollars at home. Under The Tree “The product I have in mind is a small rail fence to be set up under Christmas trees. For the past few Christmases, I have been creating these decorative, old style split rail fences for under my own trees, and they have been extremely effective. They are inexpensive to make and well received by people who see them. “Since other people have expressed a liking for them, I want to produce enough fences now to market for next Christmas. ‘As I said at the start of this letter, though, I am only interested in marketing this product in a small way.” This reader, or any other person, who wants to market a product for Christmas should be doing the following things. Present And Future She should be using the present to build up a stockpile of products for the future. If she knows of people who want her product she should advise them she is taking advance orders and — preferably — advance payments. Then she can get those orders out of the way and be that much ahead of the game. She should also be lining up gift shops, arts and crafts shops, hospital shops and Christmas shops that might be willing to display her product and sell it or take orders for it prior to the Yuletide season. Before the Christmas season, she should make it her business to donate samples of what she makes to local bazaars and fairs. Similarly, she should offer samples as door prizes for
events where her product will get good exposure. As the Christmas season approaches, it will also be a smart
Her Creative Fence For Under Tree Has Been Well Received idea to advertise in newspapers and shopping guides. At the same time, she can place announcements about her product on local bulletin boards and in publications of clubs and organizations. Summer Shops When you’re creating a product now that you want to sell make a memo that very often Christmas shops (especially in resort areas) operate in the summer. Take your product to them soon, so you won’t miss out on the season. Then, as you begin your project weeks ahead of time, may the Christmas bells you ring early ring the bell with future sales.
