 At no trump, the declarer starts the diamond suit by leading the king.

Admiral Saves
 U s s Bridge
Culberts0n Wins Point
 in Stormy Convention

New York, Oct 1-(UP)-Ad. miral Douglas B. Dismukes, ot Philadelphia, who has turned bridge teacher since his retirement from the navy, poured oil on the troubled waters of the bridge teachers convention last night and brought order out of chaos.
 The trouble started when seme- one proposed a resolution con- demning the new official system of bidding as illogical, of no i'm portance, ineffective and unworthy of consideration. The room began to hum with protests.
 Admiral Dismukes, who once brought the transport Mount Ver- non into port after she had been to- 1oed 200 miles off the coast of France, summoned his best quarerdeck voice and stood up.
 "I denounce in the strongest possible terms" he beloved, "any effort to drag myself and other peace-loving men and women into controversy in which we impute improper motives to others who are merely striving as best they know to do the same constructive thing we are attempting"
 Calm descended on the meeting and in the ensuing discussion the resolution died a natural death Subsequently one was adopted in dorsing the system advocated by Ely Culbertson. sponsor of the con- vention.
