Secretary, American Bridge League
 In previous articles the writer has pointed out the value of un- derstanding mathematical odds, and making plays which have the greatest percentage of success In their favor.
 However, the player who fol- lows this principle too rigidly Will find many pitfalls in his task. It is sometimes necessary to make a play which is q probable loser in order to avert a still greater danger.
 The hand shown to-day was played in a dual team-of-four match and since the match was ultimately won by only 300 points. this hand was the entire margin between victory and defeat.
 The Bidding
 North and South were vulner- able, East and West were not. The bidding at both tables reached a three no trump contract by ap- proximately the same route. South opened with one diamond, West overcalled with one heart and North bid one spade-a one over one force. The bidding then pro- ceeded South one no trump, North two diamonds, South two no trump. North three no trump.
 The Play
 West opened the jack of hearts, which the declarer won with the king. He knew the odds were greatly in favor of a three-two break in diamonds so he played the ace and small diamond to dummy's king.
 Failing to find a favorable dis tribution in that suit the declarer still had an even chance to make his needed ninth trick by the spade finesse. He led small spade to the king in his own hand and returned the four, finessinG the jack in dummy.
 However, that play also lost and East's heart return enabled his partner to run off four, heart tricks, defeating the contract.
 At table two the declarer was little more cautious. He re- alized that East must be kept out of the lead at all costs, because of the heart situation, but that West could not defeat the contract by being in the lead once.
 Therefore the declarer led q small diamond to dummy's king returned diamond from dummy and when East did not play ar honor declarer finessed the nine spot.
 This looked like a losing finesse and if West had either the jack or the ten, it would give him q trick unnecessarily. However, the declarer was willing to sacrifice that trick for the certainty of mak- ing his contract.
 Regardless of what West might lead at this point, declarer would be assured of at least one heart two spades, two clubs, and foui

inson complained OF an effort to
prevent adjournment until at least
Thursday, when foreign war debt
payments are due. However, he
and senate republican Leader Nc
Nary did not believe enough sem
ators desired to prolong the SEES
sion beyond Wednesday night
either for discussion of debts or
the world economic conference.
The industry control and public
works bill Is before the senate as a
conference report which already
has passed the house. With sem
ate approval and President Roose-
velt's signature the vast project
would become law. Three senators
promise trouble-La Toilette, re-
public, Wisconsin. Clark, democrat.

Idaho.
They may join in an effort to re-
cruit sufficient votes to reject the
conference report. send the bill
back to the house and thereby OBJ
tain a chance to reinstate amend
ments rejected by the house and
senate conferees.
LaFollette's rejected amendment
would authorize publicity for In
come tax returns. Borah's would
forbid price fixing and combina-
tions in restraint Of trade under
industrial codes authorized by the
bill. Clark's would remove tax ex-

Immediately dispatched to the
homes of cabinet members.
The United States had. not indi-
Gated whether it would accept or
refuse a partial payment.
Both British and American off,
Gals told the United Press that the
British decision not to default
would import stimulus to the world
economic conference.
When the cabinet met at mid
night it was still in disagreement
as to the salient points of the
British note to the United states,
but complete accord was reached
at the session today.
It was authoritatively stated tnat
Chamberlain, Walter Runciman,
president of the Board of Trade,
and a group In the cabinet that
favored default, would not resign
despite the victory of Macdonald,
Stanley Baldwin, Lord president OF
the council, and other members OF
the cabinet favoring payment.
Paris, June 1s-(UP)-The sud-.
den confusion over the British war
debt payment was largely due to
an offensive launched at London
by representatives of the defaulting
nations, 1t was learned to-day.
The defaulting nations put pres
sure on the wavering British cabi-
net not to pay. thereby forming
united front Of European debtors.
It is no secret that the defaulting
nations believe the British pay
ment on Thursday would hinder
the success Of the World Economic
conference, by delaying a general
settlement of debts. Spokesmen
for the debtors took the occasion
Of a mass gathering of statesmen
at the conference to inform the di-
vided British cabinet Of the precise
arguments against further pay
ment.
Although It is not known what
transpired in the French-British
debt talks held under the gentle
mems agreement. 1t is known that
Finance Minister Georges Bonnet
holds that further British pay
ments would be unwise in the gen.
eral interests.

Boston, June 13.-(UP)-Favor-
able weather conditions on q full
bloom indicate a good apple har-
vest in this section, the New Eng
land crop reporting service OF the
u. S. department of agriculture re-
ported today. The condition Of ap-
pies in New England on June !
was placed at 87.4 per cent, COM
pared with 83.5 per cent a year
ago and S4.4 per cent the 10-year
average. For the country as a
whole the condition was reported
at TIT per cent June I. against
58.5 per cent a year ago and 64.9
per cent the 10-year average. The
New England peach crop was in
jured in many places by frost and
only a light harvest is expected. A
crop totaling only 100000 bushels,
compared with 445,000 bushels last
year and $4,000 bushels the Ave-
year average, Is forecast. Pros

Other Nations Were
Very Much Amazed
CONTINUED from Page II

Daladier advocated stabilizatoin
of currencies by a. return to the
gold standard.
Jung spoke against economic iso-
lation.
General SHUTS said he would
fear for the future of the world If
the conference failed.
Ishii said Japan believed the con-
ference's most urgent problems
were those OF currencies credit
policies, tariffs and trade barriers.
The plenary session reconvened
at $500 D. m. Hull was still abb
sent and only a handful of dele
gates were in the hall.
DIR Constantin Won Neubrath Of
Germany injected strong political
note into the conference in his
speech. Without naming the YER
sailles treaty explicitly, he demand
ed treaty revision. He asserted
that Germany had followed Adolf
Hitler's words in the Reichstag
with Deeds, helping to create the
Horsepower European peace pact
and accepting the MacDonald's
arms plan.
Let us not forget that the con-
ference is incapable of leading to
a satisfactory result without So
luton of pending great political
questions" he warned.
Won Neurath cited the evident
conflicting interests among nations
notably between agriculturally ex-
porting and self-sufficient states,
between debtor and creditor states,
between those on the gold standard
and those off it.
But this conference Is striking
conflicts he said, adding that in
dustry is unable to survive. unless
agriculture does, that creditors are
dependent for survival on dbtors
and that gold currency is senseless
unless free movement Of gold
Is assured.
