Recommendations to the secretary of agriculture were made after a study cf maps and data gathered by FSA cu-operating with the NDAC, the chairman said. Counties in which the loan program will be effective will be announced later. Cal A. Ward, regional FSA director, told the group that county commit- twes will be selected from lists sub- mitted to the advisory committee by county FSA supervisors and county agents which will then be forwarded with recommendations to the secretary cf agriculture who will appoint three farmer members in each county. “For the first time in history the government is attacking the farm ten- aucy problem,” E. E. Greene, head of the purchase section, declared, Walter J. Maddock, state FSA di- rector and executive secretary of the committee, emphasized that no appli- cutions for tenant purchase loans should be made prior to designation of counties.

Frank TRIMS TRUMPS FOR ENTRY Declarer, Guided by Bidding, Makes ‘Breaks’ That Pave Way for Seven-Heart Contract By WILLIAM E, MCKENNEY (Secretary, American Contract Bridge League) The question of eusy entry from one hand to another is present in al- most every bridge hand.

In today’s hand Walter Beincke of New York held the South hand and fulfilled his slam contract because he saw first the contract could not be made without a favorable trump break, and on this assumption de- liberately shortened his own trump holding to give himself a safe entry into his own hand, With South's wealth of honor tricks, and his excellent distribution. he cannot risk a pas by his partner, hence the forcing opening bid.
