When you have the choice be tween playing no-trump yourself or steering the play lo your partner you usually can find some reason to bid it yourself. The most common excuse is the "tenace theory." You hold some thing like ace-quecn-small or king-jack-small in some suit and want the lead to come up to you. This is all very lovely pro vided your opponent opens one of those tenace suits, but he is much more likely to open some other suit and it is a far better policy to look at your worst suit, not your best before you bid no-trump. South certainly was ready for any lead, except spades, and it was "just inconceivable" that his partner wouldn't have good spades for his diamond bid and I e bid. So South leaped to three no-trump and that "old devil West" opened the three of spades. East popped his ace on dummy's king and continued with the queen whereupon South lost fivo tricks before he could gain the lead. Everything was roses from then on, but you can't lose the first five tricks and make a no trump game. Of course, South did have a tough rebid. He had a mighty good hand that appeared to be suitable for no-trump play. But it was suitable only with North as declarer and South should have rcbid two hearts in order to give North a chance to try no-trump. North would have ob liged and would have made at least the nine tricks necessary for game. Q The bidding haa beens North But fiontn, Wert 1 ili Pasa 1 Pass 3 Pass 4 N.T. Patl BV Pasa ?

Negroes In Oregon Struggle For Fair Opportunities In Housing And Jobs Editor's Note: Housing and jobs are two of the most sensi tive areas in the Negro's drive for . equal rights. Oregon is no exception. What is the situation in this stale? Is the Negro making any progress in break ing put of the segregated bous ing pattern, where it exists, and changing the traditional atti tude that have limited him mostly to unskilled jobs? The following dispatch, the second of two, explores these areas. By GORDON RICE United Press International Slalloroy Carter. 52, runs a five-chair shocshine stand on Portland's Broadway. He came to the Korlhwest from Biiming ham, Ala. "I hope we are to be treated for what we are as indivklual persons, not for our color," lie says. His plea is echoed by Nathan Jones, a 23-year-old Lewis and Clark College student who was involved in charges of discrimi nation against the city Parks Bureau last spring. "We want a fair opportunity to prove ourselves and be con sidered as first class citizens," he contends. "I hope the Negro will be able to walk those United States with dignity and without any pro scriptions placed upon him be cause of his race," agrees Jim my (Bang-Bang) Walker, a for mer professional fighter and now editor of tlie weekly North west Defender newspaper. This is the avowed goal of the Negro in Oregon just as it is across t h e nation, and two of the most frequently mentioned means to that goal also are the same jobs and bousing. Portland has Negroes in 112 of its .118 census tracts, but 80 per cent of its estimated 10,500 Negroes live in five tracts in the Albina district. Eliot Elementary School is 99 per cent Negro. Boise 6chool is 90 per cent Ne gro and Humboldt and Highland each have 83 per cent. Jeffer son High School's enrollment is 55 per cent Negro. Residents of the Albina area live in housing which ranges from slums to pleasant middle class level. A plan by tilie Hous ing Authority of Portland to clean up some of the slums and build low-cost housing was op posed and finally killed by some Negro groups, baoked by other church and civil rights organi They said tlie plan would per petuate a Negro ghetto in Al bina. Utile Gain in Housing "There lias been less gain in housing than in any other area of race relations," says E. Shel ton Jlill, executive secretary of the (Portland Urban League. "The situation is not as good as it was six or eight years ago," The thing that bothers Hill is that the Negro neighborhood Is a recent development, not one that has its roots in history, as in tlie South. In 1940 the few Negroes in Portland were spread out in 57 of the 5U cen sus tracts. "Realtors are still using the old dodges," maintains iMayficld K. IWcbb, president of tlie Port land Chapter of the National As sociation for the Advancement of Colored People, but he ad mils this is only part of the problem. "We have reached the public and expelled s o m o of their fears. Tlie test will lie to have Negroes buykig homes, but how arc you going lo do this if they don't have the money'.'" He asks. Pendleton offers another ex ample. That city lias only about ISO Negroes in a total popula tion ol 14.474, yet almost all ot them live in a lower class south west neighborhood. Seven real estate agencies deny they practice racial bias: hcy say tlioy have no Negro buyers because the Negroes simply don't liave enough mon ey to make the payments on a nice new house in the suburbs. One Negro family did buy a house in an all-white neighbor hood. There were some com plaints, but no incidents. Klamath Kalis and Eugene al so have developed lower class Negro living areas. Barriers Must Come Down "The apparent (ad that many Negroes prefer to live in tlieir own community rather tlian face the prejudices and economic barriers against those Negroes who do want lo get out and who have tlie economic means to (Hi so," Gov. Mark Hatfield said re cently. Kfiorls also are being made to upgrade conditions within the Negro communities. The out standing example is Hie Album Neighborhood Improvement Pro ject in Portland. Hesklenls of a W-acie racial lytnised area, assisted by tlie Portland l)cvclomcnt Commis sion ami federal money, have undertaken to improve their community. Tliey are repairing streets, improving tlieir homes, building rks, planning better lighting and planting trees. Tlie Development Commission will counsel liomeowners and assist them in applying for government-guaranteed home repair loans. Homes beyond repair will be purchased by tlie commission and razed, and their owners as sisted in finding new homes. Two large blocks have been set aside for a park. Total cost is expected to be $ 1, 798,261, of which two-thirds will be pro vided by the federal govern ment. A study of the effects of racial imbalance in the area's schools also is under way. The goal is to increase the vakie of their homes and make living a little more pleasant for Negroes who can't or don't want to leave. Job Improvement Seen The picture is brighter for the Negro in jobs than it is in hous ing, although the degree is the subject of considerable debate. .Most of Oregon's Negroes hold unskilled, low paying, menial jobs. Hiere are some profes sional people. In between, in the skilled salaried jobs, a great voice has existed. , "These areas were closed for so long that it seems to me we lost two or three generations," Webb says. The problem of un-der-employmenl is minor in Ore gon compared to gome other sections of the country; there are no Ph. D's working as clerks, but Webb points out there are men washing cars who could be working on the waterfront. The construction and metals industries have employed Ne groes for some time. After strong pressure and the threat of demonstrations, the Interna tional Longshoremen's and Warehousemen's Union has en rolled some Negroes, but the NAACP refused lo claim a vic tory until it sees how regularly the Negroes work. "We've got a long-standing quarrel with most of Portland's union," Webb says. Negroes are finding employ ment as retail clerks, especially in grocery chains, and there is slow, unspectacular improve ment in other fields. One of the slate's largest em ployers of Negroes is Pacific Northwest Bell, which has made a conscious effort to seek them out. An estimated 70 to 75 Ne groes are among telephone com pany's 5.900 employes, most of Ihem in the Portland area. One is an interviewer, another ah installer, and still others hold positions as operators, account ing and clerical workers, tech nicians and maintenance work ers. Negroes Lack Training As it is across the country, lack of training is a big handi cap to Negroes looking (or jobs. There are no programs set up exclusively for them. The Urban League's employ, meat bureau has had more re quests for clerical workers, en gineers and accountants than it can fill, but these are skills that are scarce nationally in both races. The Urban League re cently established a Skills Bank in Portland to assist in match ing job seekers wiih employers. Some professions, notably so cial work and teaching, are be coming increasingly popular. Negroes are showing up in the school systems of many cities where there are few others of their race. Coos Bay, Madias. Estacada and St. Paul have them. "What happened was that these places were just recruit ing teachers and these hap pened to turn up," says Hill. He feels that if people are will ing to entrust their children's PAGE tA education to a Negro teacher they should be willing to accept other members of his race in less sensitive areas. Circle" Holds Many However, many Negroes are caught in tlie same vicious cir cle that afflicts those in other parts of the country. They have few skills and cannot get good paying jobs; because of lack of money they are forced to live in a substandard Negro com munity; and because of com munity conditions, their chil dren do not stay in school and learn skills that would enable them to get better jobs. In Gov. Hatfield's words: "Where to you break into the Ore. HERALD AND NEWS. Klamath Falls, circle? You don't. We must con tinue to shave the circumfer ence." In the meantime, these ef forts to "shave" are bein brought more and more to the attention of white Oregonians, with varying reactions. "The Negro has been going too slow for 100 years." says Portland attorney John R. Faust Jr. "The contrast between their non-violent demonstrations and the violence of their opponents heightens an impression of the justice of the Negro cause." "I feel he itfie N'egroi is bein pushed by the authorities," com ments a Portland housewi.'e. "Go slow. Take it easy." Thursday, December 19, 19M Weisfield's Exclusive!

This is the startling conclu sion drawn by officials who are trying to find the' "why" behind this year's record traffic death toll. Traffic Safety Director How ard Eddy said "we're not get ting our message across to the already driving individuals." Statistics show the grizzly jump in the death toll is not the result of wild-eyed youngsters, or the over-65 group. Statistics also show that com placency mixed with speed is the recipe for death. "A greater impact speed in collisions has occurred this year," Eddy said. But Eddy is quick to point out there is no simple answer to the problem. As of Dec. 16. the death toll this year was 527. The previous record of 492 was set in 1959, and last year's toll was 485. The death rate, which zoomed to freightening heights earlier this year, has been slowing down in recent montlis. Last December, for example, 4S persons were killed on the ; highways. But as of Dec. 16 this year 13 had died, compared with 24 for the first 13 days of last December. Officials fear tlie total may top 550 before the year ends. Traffic volume is up 4 per cent. The accident rate is up 4 per cent. The death rate is up 16 per cent. lo put it another way, last year 5.25 persons died f o r every 100-million miles of high way travel in Oregon. This year tlie rate is 5.93. Eddy said "driver education is paying otf," and added that statistics prove the value of high school driver training pro grams. He said speed appears to be the basic clement in this year's record toll, "and I'm not talk ing about the 90 mile per hour wildman. "It's just that cars are going faster when they collide. People lack knowledge of what are safe speeds under certain con ditions." Eddy explained. The Traffic Safety division re ported that nearly 30 per cent of the traffic deaths this year involved persons thrown from their cars at the time of im pact. It added many of these lives would have been saved by scat belts. Eddy said there had been 45. 400 accidents as of Dec. 13 this year, compared with 43,800 at this time last year. About the final days o this year, Eddy could only comment, "caution, holiday ahead." HERALD AND NEWS, Klamath Falls, Ore. Thursday, December 19, 196 PAGE-7A GIFTS OF THE MAGI BY O.

M.D. Newspaper Enterprise Asm. Millions of children are about to hit the toy jackpot. Toys ara not merely a source of amuse ment, they are a vital part of your child's mental and emo tional growth. Although he may get a large number of toys on Christmas day, he needs toys the year around. It is important that they be suited to his ability. If after being shown their purpose once he can't operate them by himself, they are too complicated for his present de velopment and should be with drawn from circulation until he is ready for them. Another source of Christmas frustration is getting so many toys all at once that he doesn't knnw what to do with them. Tlie wise mother will readily recognize which toys have an Instant appeal and will quietly put the others away to be trot ted out one at a time in the en suing weeks. Since small children have to taste everything they can reach, they should not have access to marbles, heads, Jacks and the like. Swallowing such ob jects may be very painful but an even greater hazard is that they may be sucked into the windpipe. For older children air rifles, bows and arrows, pocket knives, and chemical sets maybe appro priate, but it Is essential to show a child how to use them safely and to supervise their use until you are sure your child understands the hazards. Electrical tnys should bear the Underwriters' Laboratories' seal of approval and should be used only by children old enough to operate them safely. This means impressing on your child the added danger of handling any type of electrical equip ment with wet hands. Cords should be inspected from time to time to make sure they have not become frayed, exposing the wires. All toys should be stored in a safe place when not in use to prevent serious falls as well as lo teach a sense of responsibili ty and neatness. Q After my 3 - year old daughter has been asleep for about an iiour she cries and screams for a while. We get her to quiet down and go to sleep again. Can we prevent these spells? A Nightmares are usually caused by bodily discomfort of some sort. An overloaded stom ach, stopped up nasal passages, or fullness of the bladder are frequent causes. The aroused child is usually unable to describe the dreams that frightened him but more often than not will go to sleep again without any trouble after being comforted. If the child has a feeling of insecurity, the nightmares may continue until a better adjustment to his sur roundings is accomplished. Make the evening meal the lightest of her day and see that the hour before she is put to bed is not overly exciting or stimulating. Listening to sooth ing music or to a pleasant sto ry before bed is a time-honored way to encourage peaceful )r n 1 "lf his bowling soor and his golf score wero reversed, he'd bo a champion'."- 4
