Editorials West Should Guard Against Soviet Tricks in New Guise Not since December, 1947, in London, have the Big Four Dowers met in solemn conclave to consider the peace of Europe. So the Jan. 25 meeting in Berlin, if it ever does come off, is certain to be a milestone of a sort. The 1947 conference broke up without result because the Soviet Union declined to take any of the vital steps toward the unification of Austria and Germany under peace treaties. The new meeting will, after some six years, have the same subjects on the agenda.

But no sober Western statesman really expects that the Russians have changed their plans and aspirations regarding Germany. Consequently, none expects to make serious strides toward a final peace treaty in this explosive land that has been well described as the centerpiece of European politics. 0 The dismemberment of Germany into zones was intended, of course, to be only temporary. The Russians are wholly responsible for the country's continued division into two nut nf the Soviet zone, and there by forced the West to crystallize its own control of Western Germany. Now this rigid arrangement has been formalized with separate governments, largely separate etuuuiiuea, wm political nriAntatioD toward different orbits.

Clearly, the Western powers will not undo any of the wnrt thpv ViAvp done to weave Germany into their orbit, sim ply to chase some Soviet will-o'-the-wisp promising unity and ireeaom ior tne In the beginning, the West saw Germany mainly as a VmrdMi tn them Rut. as time went on thev realized it could become a valued member of theWestern defense and political community. Obviously, having tasted this prospect, they will not settle for anything less than a truly free and independent Germany which could act as a stabilizing force for peace niurope. Russia, for its part, was surprised and shocked when the West excluded the Soviet Union from Western Germany in the same way the Kremlin had frozen the West out or Eastern Qermanv. Ever since that time.

Moscow has been sinele- mindedly devoted to preventing the final absorption of the Bonn government into the Western alliance. That will be its purpose in the conference. It may no longer offer the old, transparently thin proposals of peace and unity Kremlin style. Instead, according to some experts, the Russians may try some new scheme, like a mar-riaee-of-convenience Dact (Nazi-Soviet pattern) with the United States, or a European "alliance" including Russia, but excluding the U. b.

Whatever the proposal, the goal will be the same: to block the arming of Germany, smash Western defense plans, undermine NATO, and split the Western powers. But by now the West should have seen enough of the soviet oag ot tncKs not to laii tor any or tne standard gimmicks simply because they are offered in a new wrapper. It Grows on Them Reports are filtering in that President Eisenhower now likes his job better.than he did last year. If this is so, then he is following a pattern set by many of his predecessors. Not uncommonly, a new occupant of the White House finds its burdens, its restrictions, its lack of privacy a wearing and distasteful thing.

Just as uncommonly, however, the passage or time leads to mounting interest in doing a successful job, in winning a good verdict from history. In many cases, by the time one or two terms are up, a chief executive has come honestly to believe that no one of the proper stature for a replacement can be seen anywhere on tne nonzon. We hope the president has grown to like his iob: en thusiasm for one's work is one of the prerequisites for success. And we count on his genuine humility to keep him from concluding at some future date that he has become indispen- saoie. Jacoby on Bridge Your Play Depends on Your Foes By OSWALD JACOBY Much of your play at contract bridge is based on the fact that cne opponent ia more dangerous than the other.

This has nothing to do with the size or ugliness of your opponents, but depends only on whether or not one opponent is in position to make a damaging lead if he wins a trick. Take today's hand, for example, after South wins the first trick with the jack of spades. If West wins the next defensive trick he will be unable to lead another spade safely. If East wins the next defensive trick he will lead a spade through the ace-queen and thus do considerable damage. South doesn't have to be very Brilliant to see all this and to realize that West is the safe oppo- WE8T 4K9853 10 3 NORTH 97 4 AQJ5 410954 EAST 4k 10 64 2 A J52 93 SOUTH (D) AAQJ 107 82 North-South vul.

West Nettfc teat IN.T. Pass Pass 2 Pass 3 N.T. Pass Pass Pass Opening e) 5 nent while East is the dangerous opponent. Hence South must try to develop his tricks without giving East too many chances to lead. South knows that he can surely win five diamonds and two spades.

He needs two other tricks in order to make his contract. He can develop one trick in hearts and another in clubs. The question ia Which suit to attack first? The cornet line of play is to lead a diamond to the dummy and then return a low heart towards the South hand. If Weat happens to have the ace of hearts he will be able to win the but will be unable to tinue the dangerous spade suit. South will therefore have time to develop his club tricK and make his contract.

If East happens to have the ace of hearts, as is actually the case, he cannot afford to play it immediately. (If he did, South would have two heart tricks and wouldn't need a club trick.) When East plays a low heart, South wins a trick with the queen of hearts. And now, South shifts to clubs in order to set up the one club trick that he needs for the game contract. It would do South no good to begin the hearts by leading the suit first from his own hand. East would be able to win the first heart trick by capturing dummy's king.

East would then return a spade, and South would go down inglori-ously. CARD SENSE The bidding has been: North East South West 1 Heart Pass 2 Clubs Pass 2 Diamonds Pass You, South, hold: Spades Q-3-2, Hearts 9-4, Diamonds K-6-2, Clubs A-Q-J-8-5. What do you do? Bid three diamonds. You have 13 points in normal high cards, 1 point extra for the king of partner's bid suit, and 1 point for the dotibleton. This is more than enough for a second response.

You cannot afford to bid no-trump with only a queen in the unbid suit, but you will be content if your partner bids no-trump. TODAY'S QUESTION The bidding is the same as in the question lust answered. You, South, hold: Spade 2, Hearts 9-4, Diamonds K-J-6-2, Clubs A-Q-J-8-5-2. What do you do? What's Right? A friend does something nice for you during the Christmas season and you wish you had been as thoughtful. Never mind.

If you'll give the matter some though during the coming months you'll. find some way to show your appreciation. Christmas isn't the only time when you can show a friend how much you value big friendship.

This is really another name for a mental disease which has been discussed in this column several times before, usually under the preferred term of schizophrenia. It is one of the most important forms of mental illness, and although people who auffer from it behave in different fashions, its particular characteristic is what is known as a split-personality. PETER BOSON'S WASHINGTON NEWS NOTEBOOK Congress Must Act to Solve Congested Airways Problem By PETER EDSOX XEA Washington Correspondent Civil Aeronautics Adminis trator Frederick B. Lee says the volume of U. S.

air traf fic will be doubled by 1960. In this prediction he puts the finger on the growing problem of air traffic control. While Lee is advising cities to start planning for this huze erowth in flying, his own agency which has re sponsibility for the federal airways and aviation communication systems is being cut 10 me Done. being sought to shift a large part of the cost from the government to private industry. Early this year Robert B.

Murray, assistant secretary of Commerce for transportation, proposed that the burden of running control towers at commercial airports be shifted to the cities. The federal government would continue to operate the navigational aids on the airways between the cities, under the Murray proposal. But the cities were to take over the approaches, landings and takeoffs. The siren-like wails that went up not only from the cities, but also from the commercial airlines, caused Secretary Murray to cancel his proposal in a hurry. Air traffic lanes have to.be operated by uniform control cov-ering the entire country.

It has to direct traffic for not only the commercial airlines, but also private flying and military aviation which make up for over a third of the total. ALREADY A HUGE AMOUNT OF AIR TRAFFIC There are now over 72,000 miles of controlled airways, 1500 paved airports and 4.500 unpaved fields. CAA operates control towers at 179 of the busier Class I airports and 32 air route traffic control centers. Last year they directed some 16 million landings and gave 13 million fix positions. At Midway Airport in Chicago, busiest field in the nation, there were 295,000 arrivals and departures last year.

This averages to 800 a day, or better than one every two minutes, right around the clock. The prospect of doubling this volume of traffic at Chicago in less than ten years gives control men the jitters. "The most amazing people in aviation." says one old hand at the flying business, "are not the pilots of jet planes busting sound barriers, but the humble, young men who sit in the airport towers and keep airplanes from running into each other. With the approach of bad weather when flying conditions are worse- the troubles of the traffic control men become terrible. There is a tremendous amount of strain and pressure.

Total employment of CAA last Jan. 1 was under of whom 14,000 were field men on traffic control and communication. Under the economy drive these forces have been cut 3,000. Jobs have been combined so that traffic control and communication are handled by the same man. Though everything possible is being done to keep the 3.000 air traffic controllers, more cuts are rumored and morale in the CAA field force is shot.

PILOTS' ASSOCIATION BELIEVES SAFETY AT STAKE The situation has become so acute that Air Lane Pilots Association newsletter put in a complaint that safety was being threatened. The pilots' letter dealt specifically with conditions at Midway, where the crowding is extreme. In volume of total operations they rank Cleveland, Miami, Denver, Wichita, Los Angeles, Dallas, Teterboro, N. LaGuardia, N. and Washington, D.

airports in that order. CAA's budget for the current year is $143 million- of which $105 million is salaries. How much of this budget could be transferred to increased fees charged to aircraft operators is now under study. Last year CAA collected only $600,000 from aircraft operators. Most of this was charges for using the CAA overseas communications system and for licensing aircraft and pilots.

The eovemment would like to collect about $20 mil lion more for service charges. A system of increased landing fees is fought by the industry. A ton-mileage payment has been proposed for larger craft. A special tax on aviation gasoline sales has been suggested as the fairest system of paying for government services, but commercial aviation officials point out that over 30 per cent of the flying is now done by military aircraft who would get a free ride. Whatever is done, it will take an act of Congress to do it.
