Mm By STOP THE G0SSIPER DEAR ABBY: A new family re cently moved to town. The wife is very attractive, t heard a wom an tell a large group of ladies at a tea that she had heard a rumor about the newcomer. She went into some detail, casting an ugly shad ow on the woman's character. Then she smiled and said, "But I don't believe a word of it, do you?" Why, then, did she repeat the story? Before long it had cir culated all over town. Now every one is speculating about the new comer. How can a person protect herself against something like that? WAS THERE DEAR WAS: She can sue for slander, but seldom does. My hat Is off to the courageous one who will silence a gossip monger's vi cious attack on one who is absent and unable to defend herself. And it is good to remember that those who would repeat vicious gossip are not above inventing it.

Tues., May 7, 1963 Th- South had a definite reason for his four no-trump response. In case his partner could show three aces, South planned to bid six no trump to stop a possibly dangerous lead through one of his red kings. When North showed four aces, South also had a reason for bid ding seven no-trump instead of sev en spades. The game was dupli cate and South wanted the extra Senate Approves Plan For Payment For Damage Claims WASHINGTON (UPI) Senate negotiators gave in Monday and ac cepted a House plan for paying Philippine war damage claims to individual claimants but barring foes to lobbyists who pushed the bill. They agreed to a compromise retaining the basic form of the 1P62 claims law and scraps a Sen ate-approved rider to pay the $73 million maximum involved direct ly to the Philippine government. The measure, however, pars any payment in a claims case to any "corporation, association, firm or other individual or party whatsoever." No claimant could receive his money until he certified that he was not paying anything to any agent. The provision was written into a $1.5 billion catch-all supplement al money bill. The Senate-House conferees also agreed on all other differences. Rep. Albert Thomas, D-Tex., chief house conferee, said he hoped to bring the bill before the House later today. The Senate had voted over whelmingly to pay the claims money directly to the Philippine government after disclosures that Washington lobbyists, including at torney John A. O'Donnell, stood to reap huge fees from the pre sent law. The Senate Foreign Relations Committee also disclosed that O'Donnell made campaign con tributions to more than 20 mem bers of Congress in 1960 while lobbying for the present act.

He could have spread the hand for seven spades but there appeared to be only 12 tricks in no-trump. However, with 12 tricks in top cards there is always hope for a 13th. South won the heart lead with his king and ran off five spades to see what would be discarded. East's first discard was the four of clubs and South was sure that East had started with five clubs. East's other three discards were two hearts and a diamond and now it appeared that only West could stop hearts. This set the stage for an auto matic squeeze. East was down to three diamonds and four clubs, so South played a heart to dummy's ace and East let a diamond go. Now South ran off three high clubs and West was squeezed. He had to discard down to two di amonds in order to hang on to the jack of hearts. Dummy's last heart had done its work. South threw it away and made the last three tricks with diamonds.
