Birthday bloodbath for Red Chinese

HONG KONG (UPI)— Red China Monday celebrated the 47th anniversary of the Chinese Communist party with a giant military rally in Peking. Published reports in Hong Kong told of an increasingly heavy bloodbath behind the Bamboo Curtain. One of the published reports said, “several thousand” Cantonese were killed in the south China city during the first 20 days of this month and that the bodies were dumped in rivers. These reports of violence in

the mainland power struggle received at least partial confirmation with the discovery of more corpses on Hong Kong and Macao shores at the mouth of the Pearl River. Fifty-four decomposed bodies had been found in the area by late Monday. Hong Kong newspapers said 20,000 soldiers from north China had been sent to the border province of Kwangtung to prevent people escaping to Hong Kong and Macao. The army headed the celebrations marking the Chinese

Poor campaign to be permanent

WASHINGTON (UPI)— Supporters of the Poor People’s Campaign announced Monday creation of a national poor people’s coalition as a permanent organization to continue the fight against poverty. The coalition is headed by five persons representing differ, ent ethnic groups and is separate from the Southern Christian Leadership Confer, ence (SCLC) which organized the Poor People’s Campaign. “This coalition does not mean a breaking point with the Poor People’s Campaign,” a spokes, man said. “The coalition is the political and social end product of the Poor People’s Campaign.” The coalition’s immediate task, a spokesman said, would be to mobilize the nation’s poverty stricken to attend a national poor people’s convention. The time and date will be announced later, he said. Divide Leadership Organizers said no formal leader would speak for the coalition and that leadership would be divided among the following: Hank Adams of Washington state, representing American Indians; Reies Tijerina, Albuquerque, N.M., representing Mexican - Americans; Clifton Johnson, Heartridge, Ky., representing poor whites; Anibal SoUvan, New York City, repre-

senting Puerto Ricans; and Cornelius Givens, Jersey City, N.J., representing Negroes. In a statement, the coalition said 40 days of “misunderstand, ings and setbacks” at Resurrection City, the poor people’s encampment on the Mall, “made us realize there was a great vacuum in this nation. Fill Void “We have all agreed that only a national poor people’s coalition can fill this void.” The Southern Christian Leadership conference is not represented on the executive council and coalition officials said they did not know what role SCLC leaders would play in the group. Order stands INDIANAPOLIS (UPI)—-Indi-ana State Police Monday were ordered not to confiscate fireworks items listed in a temporary injunction issued by Judge Alva Cox of Delaware Circuit Court. The injunction was issued in response to a petition filed by two brothers who protested the seizure of $3,000 worth of fireworks from the store one of them operates at Bloomington. It restrains State Police Supt. Robert A. O’Neal and all persons in his command from seizing fireworks of the sparkler and snake type not prohibited by law. William Shields, operator of the North Central Distributing Co., Muncie, said in the suit that he consigned such fireworks to his brother, Robert, at Bloomington. However, state police spokes, men said state law on fireworks is subject to various interpretations and the department considered smokepot type fireworks included in the seized merchandise as unlawful and questioned whether other items in the confiscated material complied with the law.

C5A could carry 900 MARIETTA, Ga. (UPI)—The largest plane ever to fly, the C5A military cargo-troop transport Galaxy could be converted into a super-airliner with three decks carrying 900 passengers. “But I think the world is not ready for a 900-passenger airliner,” said Lockheed-Geor-gia President Tom May after the Galaxy’s maiden flight Sunday. May has supervised development of the football field-length craft that will vastly increase the Air Force’s troop deployment capability. Company officials said, however, they will push for a commercial version of the Galaxy with a payload of 300,000 pounds. There is a possibility also of a dual-purpose versionpassengers in an upper deck and cargo in a lower deck. Chief pilot Leo Sullivan, 49, and four crew members took the Galaxy on an hour and 34minute flight Sunday over northern Georgia. The only thing to mar a perfect performance was a red warning light that indicated a difficulty in landing gear retraction. The wheels were left down the whole flight as a matter of test-flight routine. “It was perfectly normal, free handling,” Sullivan said of the giant plane. “It’s a phenomenal, ly beautiful job that sets a new era in aviation.” The Galaxy weighs 764,000 pounds with its full 265,000 pound payload. The Anatov 22 of Russia, the previous largest plane, weighs 500,000 pounds and has a payload of 160,000 pounds.

Dillion gives legal opinion INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — In a legal opinion delivered Monday, Atty. Gen. John J. Dillon ruled that commerciM vehicles engaged in interstate operation may be exempt from the mandatory Indiana vehicle inspection. But, Dillon ruled, in order to be exempt, the vehicles must either bear valid inspection stickers from any state in which they are registered, or they must meet the safety standards of the Interstate Commerce Commission.

ace of hearts, but eventually went down one because he had still another club to lose. The deal illustrates the kind of care required when a contract appears to be certain but is not. The 5-1 club division is certainly not probable, but since it is a possibility, some provision should be made to guard

against it.

Declarer’s first obligation in a seemingly "laydown" hand is to say to himself: "What can possibly defeat me?" Had South bothered to ask himself this question he might have found the sure-fire safety play. After winning the club lead, declarer can see that the slam is a certainty if the adverse clubs are divided 3-3 or 4-2. He can ruff a club with the king in either case, and thus guarantee twelve tricks.

Opening lead—queen of clubs This hand reminds me of a sign posted on the highway shortly before the Fourth of July holiday. It read: "To be safe on the 4th, don't buy a

fifth on the 3rd.”

South was in six spades and West led the queen of clubs, won by declarer with the ace. South continued with the king, which East ruffed. East returned a trump which South won in his hand so that he could ruff the next club in dummy’ with the king without the

danger of an overruff.

However, declarers belated caution was wasted. He was able to discard one club on the (C 1968. King Features Syndicate, Inc.)

However. South must also consider a possible 5-1 division. If that is the actual case, cash- , ing the A-K of clubs in prepa1 ration for a ruff may lead to defeat. To cater to the 5-1 possibility, as well as the normal 3-3 and 4-2 breaks, declarer should invoke a safety play. He should lead a low club at trick

two.

By conceding a club in the interests of safety, South smooths the path to twelve sure tricks. One of his remaining low clubs can be ruffed high in dummy; the other goes on the aee
