E P The S P Bidding: W 1C N 1D P 1NT P 3NT P P P A It is rare that the low cards in a hand are ever remembered. In this hand it was possession of a very low card, the two of clubs, which was instrumental in fulfilling the contract. West opened the king of clubs and east, following a common con- vention, played the seven, his second highest club. South, in need of a miracle, played the five of clubs hoping to induce repeated club leads. West continued the six of clubs, also conventional, being his fourth highest club. East played the jack which south won with the queen. Declarer could count eight tricks for his side. There was a possibility that west held both missing aces, and if he could be kept on lead south's ten of clubs would be protected. Thus south led a spade towards, the king. This east won with the ace and dutifully returned his re- maining club, the four. South, still looking for a miracle, played the deuce of clubs. West could have played the eight and then won a total of four clubs and two major suit aces-for down two. But he saw an opportunity to keep east on lead for a heart re- turn to his ace-queen-for down three. Thus he gleefully played his three of clubs under the two and four. East was visibly shaken by win- ning the trick with his four, and he could remember only that his part- ner had played the nine of spades on the first leadof the suit.. Thinking this card signalled in- terest in that suit, east led a spade. South now gathered in his nine tricks, fulfilling his contract, and giving thanks to the two of clubs for keeping the lead in east's hand. East's play was thoughtless, for if south had the ace of hearts he would have taken -off his nine tricks after winning the queen of of clubs. But somehow even an opponents error cannot detract from the thrill of making a hand because of possession of the lowest card in the deck. Nurses Select ICN Delegate Gail Grippen, '57 N, will pre- sent student nurses from Michigan at the 'International Congress of Nurses at Rome in May, 1957. Miss Grippen was selected as delegate at the Michigan Student Nurses Association convention in Lansing last week. Ruth Ann Goehner, '58N, was elected first vice-president of the state association, an office which also includes president-elect for the association next year.; By DALE McGkiEE Sitting in his Lane Hall office, Harold Duerksen may give the first impression of a straight for- ward "behind-the-desk" type com- mittee worker. Let a little conversation brighten up ,his desk-and-filing cabinet quarters, however, and the new program director for the Office of Religious Affairs, reveals a great resource of personal warmth. Lanky young - Duerksen smiles and laughs as he speaks of re- ligious belief, and yet his words are produced intently serious and sincere. Dissatisfied with 'Cliche' "I'm simply not satisfied with the 'cliche' type of religion," he said. "Every area of life has some problem leaning on religion in one form or another, and that's the kind of thing I like to get at." Through his capacity as pro- gram director Duerksen is work- ing in connection with the Uni- versity's recently revised plan for religious stimulus. . Duerksen voiced enthusiastic hopes for making new religious sources available to the campus and for better coordinating the activities of religious foundations at the primary agencies of the resources. Musical Appreciation As from somewhere just below the rafters of Lane Hall a band burst exuberantly into modified discord, he mused, "At times it can be rather hard to think about re- ligion around here. I'm afraid my musical appreciation doesn't quite reach, the second floor." Eyes rolled mullingly upward. ,Prior to his appointment to the University, the new director spent three years studying at Union Theological Seminary in New York City and one year as a Menonite pastor in his home state of Kan- Arab Extremists Desire Lands (.9 -Daily-VernSoden RELIGIOUS DIRECTOR-Har- old Duerksen opposes "cliche type of religion." interest in working with people. young people in particular, was proliferated there. Lived in Manhattan During his studies at Union, Duerksen lived for a year in Man- hattan's lower east'side investi- gating the problems of the under- privileged. "That was quite an experience," he commented. "It got to the point where you weren't at all excited about the murder next door.' Duerksen also worked with young people for some time at New York's famed Riverside Church. "My interest in people in gene- ral, especially after college, made me aware that most problems peo- ple have ultimately center around' some religious question," he ex- plained. Contrary to common belief, la- bor does not vote as a bloc, Uni- versity Survey Research Center shows after careful analysis of actual voting'behavior of a nation- wide sample of citizens in the 1948, 1952, and 1954 elections. In fact about one third of the. workingmen who have gone to the polls in recent national elections have voted Republican. The survey also explodes several other popular myths. For instance, Republican businessmen outnum- ber their Democratic counterparts outside the southern states by only 4 to 3 But Republicans in this cate- gory seem more likely to express their views at the polls, while Democrats have a greater tendency to cross party lines or stay at home on election day. Those who believe that Catho- lics follow a political line, accord- ing to the Survey are also inac- curate. Although there is reason to be- lieve that Catholics would con- form to group standards on some political issues-birth control leg- islation, for instance-there is no indication that Catholic standards exist for most run-of-the-mill po- litical issues.

WHITNEY Associated Press News Analyst There is nothing that Arab na tionalist extremists would like t do better than to toss the Britis out of the Arabian Peninsul; completely. Whenever they get their hand free of the Suez crisis and th Israel problem, it is reasonable t expect they will actually try to d it. In order to get the British of the peninsula, the Arab nationa lists woulud have to either con quer by military force or other wise force British departure froi one British colony-Aden-fiv protectorates - Aden, Kuwai Bahrein, Qatar and the Trucia States-and one nominally inde pendent state-the Sultanate o Muscat and Oman. Dominate Coast Line These territories dominate near ly the entire coastline of th Arabian Peninsula all the wa from its southwest corner at th Straits of Bab el Mandeb aroun into the head of the Persian Gulf Yet their hold is precariou partly because of the growin force of Arab nationalism, partl because in most of the territorie there is no British garrison, bu mostly because of the. juridicia situation in which Britain does no claim sovereignty over any of th areas except the colony of Aden which has an area of only 7 square miles. Here is a brief description o each of these territories, all o which are populated by Arab speaking peoples. The colony of'Aden consists o the city of Aden, a small bit o Arabian mainland, and the islan af Perim in the middle of th strategic Straits of Bab el Man deb. Its population is about 150,000 Its chief economic activity is as sociated with the port of Aden Have Treaty Relations Aden Protectorate runs fron Yemen about half-way along th( southern end of the Arabian pe ninsula. Its area is estimated a some 112,000 square miles-about 1- o >h a [s ie to ff L- e t, al f ie y e d f. S, g y s it e 1, ,5 fj fi i- )f )f d tt the same as that of Arizona-and its population at a little less than one million. The Arab chiefs of the protec- torate have treaty relations with Britain. Aden is threatened both from outside and inside by forces hos- tile to British rule. Earlier this year there were anti-British dem- onstrations in the city of Aden, while forces of the Arabian state of Yemen were attempting to raid Aden territory from the north. Yemen would like to drive the British out of Aden and in this aim has Egyptian and Soviet suppoprt. Earlier this year the ruler of Yemen made a trip to the Soviet Union in an effort to gain support against the British. The British have announced their determina- tion to hold Aden at all costs. Rich Territory Kuwait is located at the head of the Persian Gulf next to Iraq and is one of the richest pieces of territory ino the world. Some 55 million tons of oil were pumped out of Kuwait wells in 1955. This made the small sheikhdom the fourth largest oil producer in the world-behind only the United States, Venezuela and the Soviet Union. Disposition of the oil revenue is controlled by the ruling family of the sheikhdom and its head Sheikh Abdullah al Salim al Sa- bah. He has used the revenue notE only for luxurious maintenance of himself and his relatives but also for the welfare of his people. Cast Greedy Eyes The leaders of the Arab world cast greedy eyes at Kuwait's wealth. They make no secret of the fact they would like to get their hands on it in order, they say, to put it to use for "all Arabs" instead of just those in Kuwait. The Bahrein Islands are only some 213 square miles in area with a population of about 120,000. They produce about 11/2 million tons of petroleum a year. The production is American- controlled but Bahrein has a treaty with Britain which gives the British control over its for- eign relations. Arab nationalism has reached Bahrein. In March riots broke out against the ruling sheikh's British adviser, Sir C. D. Belgrave and the British government, an- xious to avoid a showdown like that over Gen. Glubb in Jordan, induced him to resign. Produces Oil; Qatar in 1955 produced about{ five million tons of oil. Its area is about 8,000 square miles and its population about 25,000. It is a peninsula jutting out into the Persian gulf. The Trucial States constitute an ill-defined and large area along the Persian Gulf below Qatar. Seven sheikhs controlling diffe- rent sections of the area have treaty relations with Great Brit- ain. Total population is about 70,- 000. The Sultanate of Muscat and Oman runs along the Arabian Peninsula coastline approximate- ly from the mouth of the Persian. Gulf to the vicinity of the Aden protectorate. The area has been estimated at some 82,000 square miles and population at over half a million. The Sultan has treaty relations with Britain but his state, unlike the others is juri- dicially independent. U 4 Read and Use Daily Classifieds sas.
