H. P. F. MICHIGAN MIRROR By ELMER E. WHITE Getting to Be Quite a Sockful Public Affairs DETECTION SYSTEM STARTED The most treacherous part of a driver's experience in the winter can come when he is driving across bridges.

Bridges are suspended in the air, and cold winds can blow both above and below them. This cools bridge surface much faster than road surfaces. They can be like glass while the rest of the road is still quite safe. If temperature and humidity conditions are right, the bridge surface will become slick, even though adjacent highways are clear and dry. In an attempt to counter the dangers posed by such bridges, the state highway department started experimenting with an ice detection system for bridges.

The first ice detection system is now installed on the Interstate 75 Rouge River Bridge in Detroit. It consists of 18 sensors imbeded in the concrete bridge deck. The sensors will pick up and transmit temperature, humidity and deck Condition information to the Wayne County Road Commission's highway maintenance garage to give advance warning of icing. This will allow road crews to get an earlier jump on icing conditions and hopefully keep the bridge safe. The project is costing $30,000, with 90 per cent of the money coming from federal government.

BREVITY PAYS Lawyers have a well deserved reputation for being wordy when they talk or write, and judges are traditionally expected to write long, windy explanations of their judicial decisions. Thus, an opinion handed down by the Court of Appeals recently comes as something of a breath of fresh air. The opinion was written by Judge J. H. Gillis and involved a workmen's compensation case.

Wrote Gillis: "The appelant has attempted to distinguish the factual situation in this case from that in another case." "He didn't. We couldn't." End of VOTERS SAY NO Michigan legislators can be glad the pay raises they are scheduled to receive will not be submitted to voters for approval if results from, the rest of the nation on election day reflect the sentiment here. Eight states held elections on proposals to increase legislative pay or establish a commission similar to the one which awarded the legislators $2,000 pay increases in November. In five of those states the proposals were defeated. And none of the proposals involving straight pay hikes was passed.

At the same time, voters decided to get more work out of their legislators. In six states annual legislative sessions were adopted by voters. This brought to 37 the number of states which will have their legislatures meeting every year. CHRISTMAS TREES ABOUND Michigan is the best state in the country in which to purchase your Christmas tree this year, according to State Agriculture Director B. Dale Ball.

Ball says the state is the nation's leading grower of plantation grown trees and that more than five million evergreens will be harvested for sale in the 1970 season. That means $20 million for the state's economy, he said. "Mil-lions will be shipped out of the state, some to as far away as California," Ball said. "But there will be plenty for sale at outlets in every city and hamlet in the state." Scotch pine is the most widely produced plantation tree, with other Michigan species including spruces and Firs. WHAT'S WITH WATER HOT SPRINGS, Ark.

(UPI)-Less than one-tenth of one per cent of the earth's water is available for human needs and about 75 per cent of all fresh water is frozen in the polar ice caps of the Arctic and Antarctic, according to a water company executive. Americans use more than 400 billion gallons of tap water daily which is 57 per cent of all that is available, says John G. Scott, president of the Mountain Valley Water Co. In about a quarter of a century however, the nation may need 900 billion gallons daily, more than today's total supply. THE LUDINGTON DAILY NEWS Trademark Registered U.S.

By Abigail Van Buren DEAR ABBY: When my came unbelievably bold and ag- brother and I were young, our parents bought us a set of books called The Book of Knowledge. There were 20 volumes in all, and it was understood that when my brother and I got married we would split the set up and each get half. Well, my brother got married first, and he took volumes, one thru 10.

He and his wife seemed perfectly satisfied. Then I got married and I took volumes 11 thru 20. Well, volume 20 just happened to be the index. All of a sudden, my brother's wife writes tq me saying their half isn't as good as our half because we got the index which is the most important book in the whole set, and it wasn't "fair." I wrote back and told her that my brother got first pick and he took the first 10 volumes, and I couldn't help it if we got the index. I don't want a family fight, but I don't think I should send her the index, do you? How can this be settled? GOT THE INDEX DEAR GOT: Since the index happens to be in your half, and your brother chose his half first, your sister in law can't yell "foul." Half a loaf may be better than none, but a little learning is still a dangerous thing, so if I were you, I'd start saving up for a complete set, and tell your brother to do the same.

DEAR ABBY: I recently married a woman who is a few years older than I am. She has a teen-aged daughter by a previous marriage whom I will call "Little Miss Sexpot" for obvious reasons. Little Miss Sexpot had been making her home with her father by prior agreement. Around Thanksgiving Little Miss Sexpot came to visit us during which time I became aware that she was flirting with me. I tried my best to discourage her without being rude, and thought I had made, my position clear when this little girl be- The Daily Almanac By United Press Internationa! Today is Tuesday, Dec.

I finally had to sit her down and tell her what was what.

Suddenly she announced that she wanted to live with us. Her mother was delighted. I was not and made no secret of it. When the girl realized I was absolutely against it, she told me if I didn't change my mind she would tell her mother that I had made improper advances toward her. Rowing the true story, Abby, what would you do in, my place? PERPLEXED DEAR PERPLEXED: I would tell the girl that I refused to be blackmailed, and if she carried out her threat, I would tell my side of the story.

(P. S. Don't worry, she won't.) And if she does, I am betting that her mother knows her little girl better than yoq do. I DEAR ABBY: wives who think their husbands go on hunting trips to chase other women ought to have their heads examined. I have gone hunting and fishing with sportsmen for 40 years, and I have never known a man to get mixed up with a chick on one of those trips.

First, there are no available women out in the briar patches. And second, a man who is looking for action of that type doesn't have to drive a thousand miles, and then go out in the woods looking for broads when Chicago is full of them? ROSS B.

For a personal reply enclose stamped, addressed envelope. The Open Forum EDITOR, The News: I found the Daily News' review by Dorothy Trebilcock of the West Shore Community' College Choral Union Concert of last Sunday to be quite unfair and misleading. If Mrs. Trebilcock attended the concert expecting a flawless and professional performance, she undoubtedly would be disappointed. However, I do not believe that the West Shore College and Community Choir members assume or claim to be professionals.

To me, the program was weE planned, it was well received by the audience, and the groups were adequately prepared. I congratulate Mr. Stenzel for his efforts to create a community musical group in an area which greatly lacks such cultural organizations and support for them. I invite Mrs. Trebilcock, who was disappointed with the program, to try to prepare a more polished and precise musical organization out of the local amateur musicians, Larry C.

NORTH 4102 AK643 WEST EAST 4A974 10 9 8 6 2 4109 4Q10532 4, 9 6 SOUTH 4Q865 VK43 Q5 The bidding: South West North East Pass 1 Pass Pass 2 Pass 2 NT Pass 3 NT Opening jack of hearts. Let's say you're East, defending against three notrump, and partner leads the jack of hearts, won by South with the king. Declarer cashes the Q-K-A of diamonds, West discarding the deuce of clubs, and plays another diamond which you win with the jack as West discards the three of clubs.

Matters have now reached a crucial stage and it seems clear that you must return a spade. Partner has indicated his lack of interest in clubs and it is also plain to see that a heart return would be pointless. All in all, your problem is not so much whether to lead a spade but rather which spade to lead. If you start by crediting South with the A-Q of spades merely because he bid the suit you are positively thinking along the wrong lines for, in effect, you are conceding the contract. No, you must approach the problem much more realistically and assume that South has the ace or queen, but not both.

In accordance with this, you should lead the jack of 'spades in the hope that your partner has among his assets the A-9- x-x or Qr9-x-x of spades, in which case you will have more than a fair shot to stop the contract. As it happens, the jack play kills declarer dead. Whether he covers or not, you reel off four spade tricks and he winds up going down one. But note that if you start the spades by leading either the king or three South makes the contract with correct play. Only the jack lead will render South's spades useless and prevent him from scoring nine tricks.

The knave can do no wrong! NATO Bmifcs Nixon Doctrine Thomas A. Lane WASHINGTON It should be of some concern to American voters that their national leaders are prone to embrace grand designs which don't work. Imaginative proposals are created to catch the public interest for a moment of acquiescence and then are discarded. So it was with the Truman Doctrine, announced in 1947 to win public support of economic and military aid to Greece and Turkey. The critical need for of the Truman Doctrine at that time was in China, but there we did not apply it.

Britain approved our intervention in the Mediterranean but opposed a similar commitment to China. The Truman administration did Britain's bidding and lost China. The Marshall Plan to aid our allies recover from the devastation of World War II was to be completed in a few years. It became the opening wedge for vast and continuing programs of foreign aid which American politicians have drawn from the public treasury. The NATO alliance was to be of indefinite duration but the commitment of U.S.

troops to duty in Europe was approved by Congress only as an emergency measure to secure Europe until our allies could build their own defenses. By 1957, the economics of our allies had been restored. It was time to begin withdraw-' ing U.S. ground and tactical air forces. Our political leaders lacked the gumption to adhere to the original sound plan of temporary support.

Under pressure of allies benefitting economically from the dollar expenditures made to support U.S. troops in Europe, our leaders continued to pour out Washington Window By RAYMOND LAHR WASHINGTON (UPI) Senate is again the breeding ground for presidential candidates of the out party Democrats who would like to see President Nixon a one-term tenant of the White House. Those who will get most attention first: Sen. Edmund S. Muskie of Maine, current favorite to win the 1972 presidential nomination and 1968 nominee for vice president.

Hubert H. Humphrey of Minnesota, former senator, former vice president, 1968 presidential nominee, who is available but says he will not be running for the 1972 nomination. Sen. Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts, who says he will not run but is now rated close to Muskie and ahead of Humphrey by Democrats reached by Gallup pollsters.

With lesser roles in the Senate cast are Sen. George S. McGovern' of South Dakota, Harold E. Hughes of Iowa and Birch Bayh of Indiana, each favored by only 1 to 2 per cent of the Democrats in the Gallup WALL STREET CHATTER NEW YORK (UPI) -The fuel for a major stock market advance is stored in two areas liquidity and bond profits, Filor, Bullard Smyth says. Movement of these monies into common stocks could cause a buying spree that would more than match the rallies of 1964-65 and 1967-68.

Market weakness in the last few days reflected in part the threat and commencement of the rail striKe, Paine, Webber, Jackson Curtis says. Some investors were simply taking profits after the market's recent impressive advance, it adds. From this point on investors will be attempting to anticipate the possible extent of the strike. Since much of the action of the recent rally has been concentrated in blue chips, it is now likely that trading interests will shift to various other groups while the senior averages take a breathing spell, according to TPO Inc. Hundreds of secondary and glamor issues could rally substantially over the next few weeks before becoming vulnerable, TPO adds.

The business outlook from now on into 1971 supports a constructive investment policy, Goodbody Co. believes. Any profit-taking will probably be absorbed by institutions seeking to reinvest cash in better quality securities before year end, it says. poll. The ratings can and no doubt will shift before the 1972 Democratic national convention.

They will be influenced especially by publicity and by performance in the state presidential primaries to be held in the spring of 1972. Although the Democrats made spectacular gains in the statehouses in the 1970 elections, they still are short of nationally prominent governors. Of the five presidents who have served since the death of Franklin D. Roosevelt, only Dwight D. Eisenhower lacked prior service in the Senate.

And he was a national hero credited with the qualifications needed to deal with problems of national security. i The Democrats have gone directly to the Senate for their last seven nominees for vice president Truman, Alben W. Barkley, John J. Sparman, Estes Kefauver, Lyndon B. Johnson, Humphrey and Muskie.

The GOP nominated a senator, Richard M. Nixon, for the vice presidency in 1952 and an alumnus of the Senate, Henry Cabot Lodge, in 1960. The Ripon Society Forum, published by a liberal Republican group, criticizes 1970 GOP campaign strategy in its current issue and credits the Democrats will find their 1972 vice presidential nominee in a Southern or border state. 3 to 5 billion dollars annually for forces which our allies could have supplied at half the cost. The arrangement was continued even when the economies of Germany and France were booming and our own economy was faltering.

Now President Nixon has pledged to maintain our forces in Europe as long as Soviet forces remain in the Warsaw Pact countries. This is a- rash and imprudent policy which the Congress should repudiate. Soviet imperialism must, from its very nature, keep its troops in the east European satellites to maintain its dominion over them. To suppose that we can negotiate a mutual withdrawal is unrealistic. If the Nixon promise is kept, U.S.

troops will be in Europe until the Soviet Empire collapses. In his proposal to keep U.S. troops in Europe, the President is betraying the Nixon Doctrine. He has that our allies should 1 bear the burden of their own first-line defense 1 He has begun to apply this policy in Southeast Asia where our allies are at war. How can he then plead that our rich European allies who are not at war and who are capable 1 of manning their own defenses still require 300,000 American troops in Europe at a cost to the taxpayer of $3 billion per year? The most urgent and logical application of the Nixon Doctrine 1 is to our position in Europe.

There billions of dollars have been squandered in maintaining U.S. forces long after the need for them has disappeared. It is there that our whole alliance policy loses credibility. It is there that tha Nixon Doctrine is needed. The economics of free world security requires that our European allies take over full responsibility for their own first- line defense.

Our strategic nuclear forces would' continue to serve the alliance. American ground and tactical air forces must be brought home on a planned schedule of withdrawal which will allow 'time for their replacement by allied forces. A three-year phase out would bd reasonable. The first reduction of one-third of our forces should be made this year. Congress should compel the action.

With President Nixon as with other Presidents, our policy is not addressed to essential security needs, but is shaped to please our allies or to enrich our industries which depend on foreign trade. The maintenance of U.S. forces in Europe is an unnecessary and costly burden imposed" on the American people. DAILY CF ACROSS 1 1. pandowdy 6.
