2 THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1987 ADVISES CHINA TO ASK PEACE TERMS Editorial Believed Written by Il Duce Himself Calls Japan ‘Invincible’ MUSSOLIN'S PAPER | (By the Associated Press) . Premier Mussolini's newspaper, “Il Popolo D'Italia,” in an editorial be- lieved written by 1 Duce himself. ‘Wednesday declared China can expect no help from other powers acting col- lectively. China was advised to ask Japan for peace terms. The editorial pointedly referred to the futile conference recently at Brus- sels in which ways and means of re- storing peace in the Orient was studied. “If China still believes in any assist- ance of a collective character,” the newspaper said in part, “this means it is destined to suicide. The editorial, written in the biting style that marks Mussolini’s own editorials, said: “Now the first American participa- tion in a European conference for col- lective action for which participation the Chicago speech had ignited such flames of hope has had a sequel un- happier than ever. ‘Nothing May Be Done’ “Norman Davis (the United States’ representatives at Brussels) hence- forth will be convinced there is never any need of convoking conferences the futility of which would be clear to a baby. “A little knowledge of history, geog- raphy and the forces in play are suf- ficient to convince one that nothing may be done against Japan. What can, the United States, France or Great Britain do separately against Japan or together? Japan is invul- nerable.” In Tokyo, Japan formally recog- nized the Spanish Insurgent regime of Generalissimo Francisco Franco, ‘The cabinet previously had announced recognition would be granted, May Sound Out Austria Great Britain and France, seeking to ‘strengthen European peace, were reported planning to sound out Ceechoslovakia and Austria on whether they are willing to make: ions to Germany on the ques- tion of German minorities in those countries. - Britain and France were displaying more inclination to help Germany solve her Central-European political problems and the colonial issue than at any time since the Versailles treaty. Air raids were the principal activity in the Spanish civil war.

McKenney om Bridge TRAP SET FOR OPPONENTS Overcall Leads Bidding Competitors to Try Contract They Could Not Possibly Make By WILLIAM E. McKENNEY (Secretary, American Contract Bridge League) When one’s partner is silent and both opponents are bidding aggres- sively in most situations a bridg3 player might just as well be silent, unless he holds both length in a sutt. and top cards as well. An overva!l may well point the way to a slam for the other side by vermitting a :ue bid in a long weak suit. SOLUTION TO PREVIOUS CONTRACT PROBLEM Opening lead—@ A. There are exceptions to all rules, however, and the hand distussed to- Cay illustrates that point. East, fac3i with two bidding opponents and a silent partner and holding just “rags’ with the exception of an ace and an important queen, feels sure that his opponents cannot fail to make game. He hopes that they cannot make a slam, and decides to tempt them co 4 bid for it, as the one means of saviag the game. The whole swing of the hand centered arouna the bidding strategy. East felt that a game by North ani South could not topped, and with hit seven card suit, there was a fair chance that one of his opponents would make a cue bid in that suit, to show a void or the ace. In event his interference overcall would ceuse them to lose one round of bid- ding. His strategy worked perfectly as his peychic overcall had at least urged seved for the defenders a game which the other side had for the bidding. Contract Problem (Solution in next tesue) Some spirited bidding is ex- pected with South’s holding.

Earlier Judge Donvhoe had ovez- ruled a demurrer filed by Benner’s ccunse] stating “the indictment is not vulnerable to demurrer.” Crum then Tad moved that the government elect trial would last two days.

Says Courts Misjoined Crum asserted that the various counts in the indictment brought against Benner are misjoined, that. they have no connection with each other and cited several cases where indictments had been voided because the information charged separate and distinct crimes. Benner .is charged with embeasic- ment and forgery in the indictment, Crum asserted. Co-counsel Scott Cameron of Bismarck pointed out that punishment for these crimes is distinct, Judge Donohoe allowed the govern- ment until Tuesday to :repare sn “ answer.
