Slam Asked

By OSWALD JACOB Y,

' Newspaper Enterprise Assn.
The Gerber convenlion is simi
lar to Blackwood. It uses the
four - club bid to ask for aces,
instead of four no-trump. The con
vention has never achieved popu
larity except that many players
use the jump response of four u , 7 . , f . Z

Speed Law
Proposed
For Oregon
SALEM (UP1) - Thirty-nine
legislative changes including
establishment of speed laws and
drunk driving regulations were
proposed today by the Oregon
Legislative Highway Interim Com
mittee.
Rep. Norman R. Howard, D-
Portland, submitted the nmmit
tee's report to Gov. Mark Hatfield
today.
Seven of the proposed changes
involved traffic safety.
One would set the speed limit
at 25 miles per hour in school
and business zones, 30 mph in
residential zones, 65 mph on open
highways other than freeways
where the limit would be 70 mph.
"The proposal contemplates a
retention of the basic rule in its
present form," tbe committee
said. The basic rule makes it
illegal to drive in a manner that
is unsafe in view of weather ami
road conditions.
The drunk driving provisions
call for arrest on "probable
cause lor drunK ariving, cm-mi
clubs to an opening no-trump to
ask for aces and follow with five
clubs to ask for kings. In that sit
uation the bid proves very valu
able and is worth including in
your kit of bids if you are will
ing to take the trouble to learn it
Today's hand was played at a
recent tournament in which only
one North - South pair managed
to reach six no-trump. All others
played no-trump, but below the
fclam level,
With the club finesse the slam
is a laydown, hut even with the
finesse wrong declarer would have
a choice of finesses in the major
suits after losing the club.
After the game the experts had
no trouble showing how they
should have reached the slam if
their partners had only bid prop
erly, but Bobby Nail of Houston
got there simply by responding
four clubs to ask for aces and
then going to six when his part
ner showed three.
Bobby's analysis was worth re
peating. He said: "I have 14
points and a six-card suit. If my
partner holds the other three aces
he is sure to have a good play
fur six. If he has just one are I
will stop at four no-trump. If he
has two aces 1 will ask lor kings
and stop al live no-trump unless
he shows all three."

WASHINGTON (UPH-A presi
dcnlial board recommended today
that railroad employes who lose
Iheir jobs as a result of auloma
lion should share in the resulting
savings.
The recommendation was made
by an emergency board seeking
a basis for settlement of a strike
by the Brotherhood of Railway
Clerks against the Southern Pa
cific Co.
But it could establish a prece
dent in the job security dispute
involving all of the nation's rail
roads and various unions.
The recommendation is not
binding on either the company or
the union. It is intended to be
the basis of future negotiations.
the courts and emergency
boards have ruled in similar dis
pules in the past that railroads
should be allowed to discharge
employes displaced by automation
consolidations and abandonments.

They also said discharged em
ployes should be given adequate
severance pay, but had not sue
gested that the workers share in
the savings of automation.
The question of pay for dis
charged employes arose during
the mid-1950s when the railroads
began laying off clerks whose jobs
could be done by machines.

than 4.500 positions, or almost 40
per cent of the clerk jobs, were
eliminated by Southern Pacific
while traffic over the line's 8,000
miles of track increased 11.6 per
cent.
On Sept. 22, 1958, the brother
hood notified the Southern Pacific-
it wanted 100 per cent income
protection for five years for work
ers laid oil due to automation
The railroad rejected the de
mand and the union called a
strike. The strike was delayed
when the emergency ' board was
appointed last January.
The board, headed by .1. Keith
Mann, Stanford, Calif., found that
abolition of jobs had caused hard
ship to employes laid off in a
time of "excessive national un
employment."
The parties have 30 davs in
uhich to decide whether to accept
tbe recommendations. After that
time the union would be Iree t
set another strike date in the
event of a continued dispute.
Death Rumor
NEW YORK (UPH-The show
business newspaper Variety re
imrted today that Bctte Davis'
awyor telephoned the actress at
her home last week when he
heard a rumor that she had died.
Variety said Miss Davis told at
torney Tom Hammond, "with the
newspaper strike on I wouldn't
consider it."
WASHINGTON (UP!)- Govern
ment auditors disclosed today
forest service mistakes had re
sulted in windfall profits to un
identified private interests that
acquired timber lands in the
Rogue River National Forest in
Oregon.
The general accounting office
(GAO) reported to Congress a re
view of two land exchanges show
ed that the forest service had un
derestimated timber values. The
result, it said, was that private
parties were able to sell timber
lands they acquired in the ex
change for $207,000 more than the
appraised value.
In one exchange, in January
1960, timber lands were acquired
at the appraised price of $76,060
and a month later sold for $225,
OOO, according to the report.
It added that in the second ex
change, in May 19ti0, the timber
land was appraised at $25,260 but
the following month sold for
$83,500.
A GAO examiner said that in
one case the ultimate purchasers
of the timber lands had cut 98
per cent more timber than the
forest service had estimated.
The GAO report said Carroll E.
Brown, forest supervisor for the
Rogue River service, had told ex
aminers that the major part of
the differences between estimates
and the actual cut had been due
"to the use of improper volume
tables.
The examiner said they also
had studied two exchanges in the
Siuslaw National Forest. Although
they said there was "erroneous
and unsupported data" in records
of the transactions, they did not
report significant underestimates
of timber values.
The four exchanges reviewed by,
the examiners were among nine
made during the period under
study.
The GAO said it had recom
mended to Forest Service Chief
Edward P. Cliff that appraisal
methods be tightened up to pre
vent inaccurate estimates.
Cliff agreed that the findings
shuwed a need for a review of
appraisal procedures but express
ed fear that the GAO comments
on the two cases would "reflect
unfavorably on the land exchange
program as a whole.
He said land exchanges had
been "outstandingly successful"
in providing a more logical pat
tern of federal ownership through
acquisition of private lands with
in national forest boundaries.

coma range of western New

SEN. KERR DIES Sen. Robert S. Kerr, who died in
Washington Jan. I at age 66, was considered by many to
be the most powerful man in Congress. Kerr, a prime mov
er for most Kennedy legislation, accomplished a sur
prising feat in October, 1961. Kennedy visited Kerr's
ranch to inspect the Senator's prize Black Angus (top)
and at the same time Kerr brought about Kennedy's
worst congressional defeat when he teamed up with Sen.
