MISS- THURSDAY, MAY 29, 1947 Sharp Cuts Seen Goren on Bridge DOROTHY DIX Men Nation" Federal 'Squanderers' On Defensive, Says Writer suit The fact that can opened with one club, which allows a convenient rebid of one spade over any takeout partner may make, militates on behalf of aggressive action. There a further inducement to open tho bidding when one considers how difR- cult it is to enter the auction with impunity if the adversaries should open and get the bidding under The queen of hearts was led and two tricks taken in tat suit. West then shifted to a diamond.

Since it appeared that a club trick must be lost, the declarer who played the hand for our opponents decided to let everything rest with the spade finesse. When this failed, a trump was returned and there was no way to avoid the loss of a club trick for 50 point deficit. When my partner, Helen Sobel, played the hand, she was convinced that the spade finesse had little Women Never Really Understand Masculine Psychology WISE, old colored servant once said to me: "Men are the most undiscovered nation of people there is." That 'a true, and it goe for all men. Men are, and always will be, an "undiscovered nation" to women. There are things about the masculine psychology that no feminine mind can grasp, and that is' why women's dealings with men always have to be guess work, instead of a matter of knowledge.

And what makes the situation still more mysterious is that men hare one code of ethics for their own sei and another one for the feminine sex. A man, for instance, demands that other men shall be frank, honest and aboveboard ia their conduct. But He wants women to cajole. Hatter and put on an act with him. He simply won stand for a woman who looks her age and doesn't use cosmetics, or wear fluffy ruffles.

DOROTHY DIX rency, the rtates and the subdivisions are victims' of the inflationary trends steaming from federal fiscal, moretary, and labor union policies. Thf se trends affect the budgets of the states and the subdivisions In higher salaries for employees anc higher prices f6r materials. Thuj, the cities, for example, in order to have the funds for essential services such as paying school teacLers. policemen. firemen, and garbage collectors, should relieve their own financial pressure through dispensing with trills and with questionable and perhaps undesirable experiments.

And if in the process of such selective i running there are squeals from bureaucrats who are thus being unhorsed, the public can know that economically desirable steps are under way. In a coast to coast radio debate with this writer before the election. Miss Sylvia Porter, gracious financial commentator, argued that a.iy economies should be carefully made with a surgeon's scalpel, nut, in view of the acuteness of the financial stresses and strain. I suggested that perhaps a butcher's cleaver woud be more useful. BEGIN SENTENCE Milwaukee.

If East had no more than two spades, there was a much safer way to play the hand. She, therefore, cashed out the diamonds, completely stripping the hand of red cards. Then followed the ace and another spade.

East now had the lead and was obliged to return the jack of clubs. This was won with the ace and the nine of clubs finessed in dummy in fulfillment of the contract and a score of plus 420 points. held at the college on Friday night. May 31.

Astute businessmen, whom no sharper can take in and who go over every contract with a magnifying glass before signing on (he dotted line, so often apparently pick out their wives on the grab-bag principle.

Old millionaires tall tor baby-talk girls, young enough to be their granddaughters. Highly intelligent professional men marry little nitwits who have never even read a best-seller. Sane men marry girls whom tbey couldnt get along with before marriage, and yet expect to have peaceful and bappy homes, and spend the balance of their lives wondering wby they did It. And if no woman understands a man before marriage, still less bas sbe any cue as to whir -he acts tbe way tie does after marriage. Every bride thinks that marriage is the end of the struggle for her, and that wnen sbe settles doyn with her husband she can relax, take things easy, and quit counting her calories and having to be a yes-yrger.

But sbe finds that catching a husband is mere child play compared to holding one. In addition to being a mind-reader, who knows what her husband wants before he knows it himself, she has to be a good cook, penny-ptneher, entertainer and peacemaker who never wearies ot well-doing. Nor can a wife ever understand why the man who couldn't get enough ot her society before marriage and who married to'get a nome, isn't willing to stay in it after marriage. Instead ot putting on his bat as soon as he has had his dinner and going to his club. Nor can she understand why a man who is generous and kind and who has to Bupport her, anyway, wont give her an allowance as airt payment on the wages she earns on her 24-hour, seven-day-a-week job as home-maker, but makes her come to him like a beggar for every cent.

Nor can a woman ever understand but what's the use? Men and women never understand each other because they are "undiscovered nations" to each other. By Merryle Stanley Rukeyser New York. May 28 IN) A nificantly changed principle is being introduced into our national i Vertical economy. For the first time" since the low pr int of the depression of the early nireteen thirties, the squanderers in federal office are on the defensive. Until thb year, the official loy- opposition for the most part con- fined its differences with tfie New i Deal majority to protesting that i it could carry on the same activities more frugally and perhaps more etticiently Such a themesong ran ineffectivelr through the speeches! of republican standard bearers In 1936, 1940 and 1944.

But now the tough budgeteers In the new majority in congress are 1 taking a different attitude. They i not only want to cut the waste of government activities, but they go further. In the interest of put ting the nation's economic house lr order, ttey also Intend to eliminate some of the services of government which they deem dispen sable. Thus when the house appro priations committee recently under- took to cut the appropriations for the U. Department of Agri- culture's budget, by 32 per cent, i horrified bureaucrats squealed that I a crippling blow would be struck at many new deal land and flood pro-, grems.

Cuts Necessary i The truth is that, if the fiscal re-. forms needtd to correct inflation at the source are carried out, it will be necessary to simplify and curtail the activities of the federal government. At a time of rising costs, including salaries for civil servants, it is not feasible to reduce total expenditures of government ar.d at the same time carry ort all the necessary and unneces- sary functions of government which i have been dreamed up through the i years by -spenders. In the ii.ierest of public credit, the time has come to reorganize government, and determine what essential iunctions should be suengthened, and which unessen- i t.al ones can be scrapped. Budget making is in the realm of setting major policy, and is far' more than the passive act of add- hip up the estimates of hungry bu- reaucrats ot what they think they can spend in the next fiscal year, Unless there is a process of selection and rejection of governmental services, then one is led Into the! trap set by the new deal adminis-; tration.

which officially holds that it Is impractical to reduce jumbo $37,500,000,000 budget proposed by President Truman In any particular. In view of the new and costs set for us by the Soviet Union's aggressive attitude and in view of the financial obligations set by past commitments in war- i lime, it behooves us to release funds through elimination of unnecessary expenditures of government. While this Is conspicuously true of the federal government, it is also true of the states and the sub-'. divisions.
