Sure Fire
Play Seen
By OSWALD JACOBY
Written for
Newspaper Enterprise Asun.
If you look around, you will
often find a sure fire play for an
apparently doubtful contract.
Playing at four hearts, South
will ruff Die third diamond lead
and play his ace and king of
trumps. When East shows o u t
South will have a certain trump
loser and at first thought will de
cide a successful spade finesse is
necessary if he wants to make
his contract.
A look at the East-West hands
will show that the spade finesse
is not going to work and if the
South player relies on it, he'll
be complaining about bad luck.
It will be unnecessary bad luck
because South can make his con
tract by an elimination play.
After cashing the second hiwrt
South should run three rounds of
clubs, then lead a heart.
West will win with the queen
and will have to lead something.
He won't have any hearts or
diamonds so his choice will be be
tween a club and a spade. The
spade will be taking South'! fin
esse for him and South will make
his jack of spades. On a club
South will ruff in dummy and
discard his Jack of spades. Either
way. South makes his contract.

NEW YORK (NEAI "A most
constructive contribution" . . .
"completely ignores fundamental;
circumstances" . . . every Amer
ican will benefit from reading it"
. . . "a study in contradiction."
Those are some of the conflict
ing opinions of farm organizations
and farm authorities on John
Strohm's controversial series,
"Our Crazy Kood and Karm Prob
lem." The five-part report, writ
ten for Newspaper Enterprise
Assn., is appearing in hundreds of
U.S. ncwsapcrs the week ol reb.
11.
Comments on Strohm's report
ing and analysis of this major
domestic question follow.
W. Harold Brcnton, Iowa farm
er and banker, trustee of the non
partisan Committee for Economic
Development and chairman of the;
subcommittee which prepared the
CED policy statement on agricul
ture: "John Strohm's series was a
most constructive contribution and
you are to be congratulated fori
publishing his thoughtful articles
Of greatest importance, it seems
to me, was his stressing of the
human factors involved. As Strohm
says, the real farm problem is a
social problem a million farmers
who no longer are needed to pro
duce food and fiber, because agri
culture has the mechanical mus
tics and know-how to produce
three times as efficiently as il
did 20 years ago.
"It was an understanding of this
fact that led the Committee for
Economic Development, in its pol
icy statement. 'An Adaptive Pro
gram for Agriculture,' to seek for
ways that would help people on
the farm adjust to the dramatic
changes caused mainly by sci
ence and technology. The storm
aroused by the CED statement
shows it is not easy to confront
these facts. But it is urgently im
portant to reduce the waste of
our resources, especially our hu
man resources, in agriculture. The
costs of the present situation, to
farmers, as well as consumers
are too high. That is why anyone
truly interested in the farmer and
his personal welfare must search
for belter ways of adapting to re
ality.
"Strohm has made it clear that
this is a job not only for farmers
and the federal government, but
lor all of us."
National Fanners Union:
"A study in contradiction. He
ommends farmers for their pro-.
ductivity genius. But he says that
ontinuation or expansion of the
farm program would hamstring
armors into mediocrity. In light
of his views, therefore, it is inter
esting to note that farmers have!
made the greatest advances in ef
ficiency through technology in the,
last 20 years. This is about the
same lime that the present farm
program has been in effect.
The farm program has helped
immensely in bringing about the
'economic conditions in agriculture
that allow farmers to earn a bet
ter income, and income or capital;
is the chief factor in providing labor-saving
devices which contri
butc to efficiency.
"So while Strohm urges with
drawal of the very same legisla
tive devices which have helped to
onng about the greater efficiency
this greater efficiency has result
ed in greater productivity.
On wheat, he misses a basic
point in urging return to free
market. If all production controls
Mere removed, farmers would bcl
competing in a production free-
for-all, and the result would be
wholesale price cutting and eco
nomic disaster.
'If production control programs
were removed from wheat, the
output would jump 300 million
bushels the first year and price
would drop to half of what it is!
now. So Strohm doesn't answer
the question of what we d do with
overproduction.
"The only thing he advocates is1
using these surpluses as a shot in
the arm to help less developed
nations get on their feet.
"We shipped through the food
for peace program 600 million
bushels last year out of produc
tion of 1.1 billion. The problem is
to get more shipments of wheat
and get sufficient appropriations
for the program and at the same
time not disrupt normal channels
of trade."
Charles Shuman, president
American Farm Bureau Federa
tion:
"Every American will benefit
from reading the John Strohm
series.
llerschel D. Newsom, Master,
The National Grange:
'In this series John Strohm
has, as usual, made an excellent
presentation of several important
facts pertaining to American ag
riculture. However he completely
ignores lundamcntal circumstanc
es responsible for maladjustments
Ui uic Bi icuuui ai eiuiiuiiiy w me
nation.
"He fails to recognize that the
so-called 'farm problem' is to
a great extent a result of a com
prehensive and evasive structure
of government programs designed
to protect the income of those in
nonagricultural segments of our
economy.
"Our first government interfer
ences with 'full free competition'
came with the Tariff Act of 1789
the first piece of legislation
passed by the first Congress of
the United States. Since that time,
through wage and hour laws, tax
concessions and other protective
devices, including direct taxpay
ers' subsidies, government income
protection has been extended to
every major non-agricultural seg
ment of the U.S. economy. This
protective structure has become
the very foundation of our entire
economic system. The elimination
of the total structure is unthink-1
able. No one has even suggested
such action: to do so would be tan
tamount to inviting economic dis
aster.
Somehow we must therefore
make well-meaning citizens such
as John Strohm understand that
wages and prices established un
der this protective system auto
matically become the farmer's!
production cost and that herein
lies the primary cause of our farm
income problem. Programs to cor
rect these inequities must be de
signed . . . commodity by com
modity ... to provide Ameri
ca's agricultural producers an op
portunity to earn and receive
an equitable income primarily
from the domestic market just as
other government programs arel
designed to provide that opportun
ity to those engaged in nonagri
cultural sectors of the nation's
economy."
Don Paarlberg, economist,
Purdue University:
I share Strohm's low appraisal
of the present agricultural policies
of the executive branch of t h e
United States government, com
monly referred to as the New
Frontier.
"The administration scorns the
ability of the farmer to make wise
decisions as to resource use, and
has unwarranted high regard for
the ability of government to make
these decisions. The weight of evi
dence is to the contrary. We are
in best adjustment for livestock.
fruits and vegetables, concerning
which farmers make their own
decisions. We are in poorest ad
justment for wheat and feed
rains, concerning which the gov
ernment sets the price and pro
duction pattern. Government-dom
inated crops bring in about one
fourth of tlie farm income, ac
count for about three-fourths of
the farm program costs, and are
responsible for about 90 per cent
of the controversy.
