covery that God is dead. Son I

Thor Heyerdahl, who once sailed a raft from Peru to
remote Pacific islands to prove they had been Invaded
hundreds or thousands of years ago by South American
natives, says he is going to do it again.
He will not make the same trip he made in the
famous “Kon Tiki.” He has already proven to his satis-
faction, and to that of others, that South American na-
tives probably settled certain Pacific islands; this ex-
plains their racial similarities. The new voyage Heyer-
dahl will make is one from the western shore of Africa to
central America or Mexico.
He will attempt to prove that central America was
originally settled by tribes from Africa, much like the
ancient Egyptians. And he says that the civilizations
of the Aztec and Mayan Indians in Mexico and centrali away. And the State also make^

to have cost the nation $2,000,000,000 already, over 500
ships have been idle in Atlantic and Gulf harbors.
Though an agreement was reached in New York, dis-
agreements at other ports kept dock workers idle an-
other month. The New York agreement called for raises i congregations. You'd be laugh-
to workers of $1.60 hourly (over present base pay of I ^ thi^p]ety
Statism says you must be
lieve, for example, that we can
spend ourselves rich. Show me
any other religion that tries to
put that article of faith on the
$3.62). In addition to this increase (about on par with
Congressmen’s recent raise of something over 40 per
cent), New York agreed to "make work” for dock work-
ers.
That is, they agreed to let workers repack some of
the big modern containers coming into widespread use
today. Another New York concession was a guarantee to
all regulars on the docks of over 2,000 hours of work an-
nually.
Despite these concessions dock workers in New York
gnd in other cities where settlements were reached or not
reached stayed out on shrike for a month and in some
instances even longer. The American people, meanwhile,
failed to receive its mail and cargo shipments for two
months.
President Nixon reportedly told union leaders he
would let mediation take Its normal course. But a con-
tingent of soldiers was ordered to New York to unload
some mail — the union wouldn’t allow unloading of all
cf it.
One regrets the fear phobia of politicians in labor
disputes. Though it is absurd that such localized disputes
be allowed to ruin foodstuffs sent millions, to delay their
mail and packages, to bring untold harm to businesses,
cost the nation billions of dollars regularly (New York’s
Co?!; workers haven’t agreed on a new contract without
striking for 21 years), few elected officials dare speak
r :t strongly for compulsory arbitration in such disputes,
* iiich must eventually come if the public interest and
nat oral we1'are is to be served.
The average citizen supports the right of union work-
ers to strike in general but in cases where minor strikes
infringe on the rights and welfare of millions of in-
nocent people, or national security is involved, some
ray must be found to protect the public. Because unions
have political power, and use it in elections, they ln-
t mldate too many in Congress, and every President is
deathly afraid of the strike-breaker or anti-union brand,
as the political kiss of death.__/_I
Statism holds that if the
State becomes a party to an
otherwise immoral transaction,
the immorality is instantly dis-
sipated.
Statism publishes its infallibil-
tiv in matters of morals and
economies.
Statism demands the lives of
State
choice.
Statism prescribes the condi- ;
tions of marriage, the criteria
for the practice of healing and
preaching and law, the rate of j
interest, the curriculum of the |
school and the hours for selling j
booze.
You’ve got to admit that any j
religion which undertakes to do
everything from licensing bar-
bers to inspecting the sewage
plant thinks very well of its
ability to manage the universe
and all the flora and fauna which
the old God took six whole
days just to invent!
I don’t think we need to
worry much that religion is dis-
appearing. It’s just playing in

Opening lead—ten of spade*.
It is fine to take a finesse
when you need it, but poor
policy to finesse for the mere
pleasure of it
Here is a case where declarer
finessed from fbree of habit and
lost a game as a result. West
led a spade and South, without'
giving the matter sufficient
thought, played the jack from
dummy, losing the finesse to
East’s king.
East saw no future In a spade
continuation, since South ap-
peared certain to have the suit
doubly stopped, so he shifted to
the six df clubs. Declarer’s jack
lost to the king and the club
return by West established
three tricks for East.
Declarer entered dummy with
a spade and finessed the ten at
diamonds. West took the king,
returned a club, and South went
down two.
A little thought would have
persuaded South to go up with
the ace of spades at trick one.
The spade finesse was in no
sense vital to the contract.
While it might have gained a
trick if West had the king, it
definitely jeopardized the con-
tract.
South’s goal is three notrump.
If he sees a sure way of making
nine tricks, he should not devi- circles he's known as one
ate from it in favor of a dif- I of America’s earliest
ferent method of play that in-
traduces an element of danger. S lu
I\ thinks about:
Bob Precht, who produces the Ed Sullivan
TV show, made a public apology to Mexican-
Americans for the barb that Don Rickie*
aimed at them during a recent appearance on
the program . . . The play's still the thing.
Sidney Poitler is very hot at the box offloe,
but his "For the Love of Ivy’’ did rather limp-
ly at the showhouses ... For every four Ahtef-
ican tourists who used to go to. Paris, only
three went last year, making a success out Of
President DeGaulle’s campaign to alienage
us . . . Doris Day is house-hunting on Para-
dise Island, just over the bridge from Nassau
in the Bahamas . . . And more real estate
news: Ava Gardner unloaded all her property in Spain and wants
to settle, at least temporarily In London . .. Now it’s Jackie Ver-
non (who would seem ideal) being touted as the lead in David
Black’s ’69-70 musical about W. C. Fields.

A MOVIE HOUSE to be called “The Karloff Cinema," devoted
to horror films, is scheduled to be erected in London next year
. . . William Saroyan’s daughter Lucy, who has been doing small
parts in British plays and films for three years, heads for Hol-
lywood to appear in the picture “The One With the Fuzz" .
The "Today" TV show reportedly grossed $17 million in advertis-
ing revenue last year, which boils down to something like $10,400
per minute , .. Renting an apartment in the midtown Manhattan
area still is almost next to impossible. Many single girls lately
have offered to share their pads with married men for use in
tiie afternoon, when the girls are working. Are there that many
bartenders or other night people around, or do they have some-
thing else in mind? .. . Hugh O’Brian is the first to admit that
he’s not producer David Merrick’s No. 1 fan, but still he wiB
agree to work for him again.

Winning the spade at trick
one guarantees nine tricks
100%. It does not matter how
the defenders’ cards are divided,
once the ace is played. Declarer
then takes a diamond finesse.
If the finesse loses, South haa
eight tricks available — five
diamonds and three aces. The
ninth is sure to come regardless
of what West plays next.
A spade return automatically
produces trick nine; a heart re-
turn with dummy playing low
likewise assures the ninth trick;
and with a club return. South
is equally certain of nine tricks.
As happens so often, declar-
er’s play at trick one is decisive.
It pays to plan the play.
