When bidding a hand at con-
tract, what is the most impor-
tant thing to look for? High cards?
No. Distribution? No. What you
mind when bidding a hand at con-
tract is, what is the safety Of this
hand?
You find the safety Of the hand
by showing high cards and distri-
button. When your partner bids a
suit that you can support 1t gener-
ally pays to show support in his
suit at once, even though you have
a suit of your own so that you
will both Immediately know the
real safety of the hand.
1t was really surprising to note
the numbers of pairs that played
the following hand at spades in a
recent tournament.
The Bidding
In the constructive one over one
system of bidding South Is justified
in opening the bidding with one
no trump.
Remember that an original bid
of one no trump is the strongest
one bid made in this system. It
shows about three and one-half
high card tricks, no singletons,
and no weak doubletons.
Can you imagine holding the
North hand and having your part
ner show hand of such strength?
Your first thought would be that
partner has probably opened with
a psychic one no trump. However,
few good players use an original
bid of one no trump as pyschic.

NEW YORK, December 28.-The
Chase National Bank in q statement
yesterday regarding its participation in
Cuban loans on which a threatened de-
fault was reported from Havana said:
"' Last June the Chase Ma
tional Bank worked out with the Cuban
government a program extending over
term of years which, among other
things. improved the position Of the
5la per cent bonds and provided for
the gradual repayment of the bank
credit in a manner well within the ca
pacity of the Cuban fiscal system to
support. 1t called for much smaller
annual payments on account of the
public works debt than Cuba has been
making during the past two years when
$4,000, 900 principal amount of public
works serial certificates were paid to
the public in full.
"The conditions basic to this arrange
ment were In process Of being carried
out when the Machado government fell
The De CeSpedeS government recognized
the arrangement, but since the Grau
San Martin government has been in
power nothing has been done to ad-
vance 1t. The default now threatened
would be the first instance Of failure
on the part of Cuba practically since
the establishment of the republic, to
meet interest on any foreign public
issue when due.
AT the time 1t was effected all legal
details Of the financing handled by the
Chase National Bank were passed upon
by leading Cuban and American counsel
and all requirements Of the Cuban con-
stitution and laws were carried out 50
as to make them valid and outstanding
obligations of the Republic of Cuba.

tractors for public works constructed by
them and duly accepted by the Cuban

for the success Of their mission.

AS WOMAN STABBER
Condition of Victim Critical After
Visit to Office of Prominent
San Jose Doctor.

BY the Associated Press.
SAN DIEGO, Calf, December 28.-
Dr.. Manuel M. Doria, prominent San
Diego physician, was sought yesterday
for questioning in connection with the
serious stabbing in his office of Mrs.
Nettie Rasmussen.
At the time the woman was attacked,
apparently with surgical instrument,
the doctor was free on $500 bond on
a charge of attempting to shoot the
woman's husband, r. I. Rasmussen.
Rasmussen told police he had wrench
ed the pistol from the physician last
Thurday night as the doctor pulled the
trigger, and the bullet went wild.
Mrs. Rasmussen had gone to the office
with her 18-year-old daughter. Olive.
She said she intended to urge DR.. Doria
to stop his assertedly excessive drinking.
The physician gave Olive a prescription
which he said was for a drinking cure.
Police suggested it was a ruse to get her
out of the Office as other physicians said
the prescription was not cure.
When she returned from the druggist
she found her mother stabbed in the
side and the doctor gone. At hospital
physicians described the woman's condt-
ton as critical.
