His Family Prosecuted

AT last the officials decided that
coaxing and bribes would not do,
and they resorted to threats and to
restricting Monsignor T0rok's per-
sonal comforts. 1t was to no avail.
Then the big gun was pulled. One
day the military authorities arrested
Monsignor Torok's aged father and
mother, his sisters, several of his
friends and even his attorney. All
Of them were locked up under the
most severe conditions. Worst of
all, .Monsignor Torok's thirteen
old sister, arrested as a Dangerous
pacifist," was locked up amid
group of prostitutes.
Monsignor Torok then was told
that the fate of the family depended
entirely upon his own attitude. If
he would confess. the family was to
be befreed--otherwise,-well, they did
not tell him exactly what they would
do, but led him to expect the worst.

AUCTION BRIDGE

Questions: Do the leading players
IN New York use the original bid of
one club as a call for a no-trumper
from the partner Mrs. G. M.
Answer: The bid Of one club Is
used simply to show that there are
at least two sure tricks in the hand,
probably both in clubs, with two or
three small cards of the suit. The
partner is at liberty to make what
use of this information he pleases
There is no such thing, among good
players, as calling for a no-trump.
1t they have a no. trumper themselves
they bid it.
Questions; We are told up hero in
Quebec that players in the States no
longer count simple honors and that
they take 100 for a game won, 300
If it is the rubber game. If this is
correct, is 1t in your new laws?-G.
o. L.
-A9"SA' ~ is ONty IN contract
bridge that simple honors are not
scored and that points are taken be-
low the line for games won. In the
ordinary game the scoring is as it has
been for the past few years, with the
exception of the reduction of the re-
woke penalty to two tricks or so points.
Question: 1t is now generally m
derstood that a royal club is worth
nine a trick, but ranks below spades,
II this is so it seems to upset all the
rules for bidding, as there are then
three major suits and only one minor.
&C. P. H.
Answer: There is no such call, ex-
cept by agreement among friends
Then it is an "imperial club" not
royal, and it outranks all other bids
being worth twelve a trick. The onlv
condition attached to the bid is that
the caller must hold four honors in

Escaped TO Vienna

Monsignor Torok knew very we'll
what that order meant. Al the con-
centration camp at Haimasker the
government imprisoned hundreds Of
political undesirables,' meaning
Liberals and Social Democlsts-for
Communists were not interned, but
dealt with summarily. He also knew
that prisoners at Hajmasker were
usually tortured and starved to
death. So he was rather eager TO
accept the assistance of a friend in
need-a high government official
who risked his position and very life
to aid Monsignor Torok's getaway.
The escape was effected in the elev-
enth hour, and Monsignor Torok,
travelling on foot anc in disguise. ar
rived in Vienna. Since he has given
up all iutention of visiting Hungary
while the Whites are in power.

I'm playing the down-and-out echo
some writer's do not think it
should be confused with the
come-on signal; but there seems to
be q general tendency among the
best players to make as large q use
as possible Of every play that may
gain tricks. On another point there
is still some difference of opinion,
and that is as to the advisability of
using the down-and-out echo on the
declarer's suits, to show ability to
ruff them on the third round.
The objection to this play is that
1t enables the declarer to place the
suit too easily. In the old whist days
when this convention was used to
indicate the ability to ruff it proved
to be winner only against mediocre
players. The late J. B. Elwell ex-
posed its weakness in match play,
and took repeated advantage of it
by finessing down into his boots
against the player whom he suspect
ed of starting an echo of this kind.
Another point that is raised by
many persons is whether this echo
should not be restricted to tricks in
which the leader shows that he will
be able to win the second round of
the suit, SO as to be in a position to
give his partner the desired ruff.
This would limit the play to opening
leads Of king, because it would be
only in such cases that the third
hand could feel sure his partner
would win the second round, either
with the ace or with the queen, if
he lost his king. The secondary use
Of the play is here lost sight of,
enabling the leader to count the dis
tribution OF the suit.
The latest editions Of the leading
writers on the game, many of which
have been issued in conjunction with
their publication Of the new laws for
auction, see no objection to the echo
on the declarer's suits, but most of
them still decry the play on anything
but king lead. Here is a deal in
which both situations were taken
advantage Of. The original lead was
not a king, and the echo was also
used on the declarer's suit:
