MOLLISONS HAD
 BAD ACCIDENT
 INLANDING SHIP

BRIDGEPORT, Conn, July "A. - After flying safely across the AL lantic James Mollison and his wife Amy Johnson, famous woman avla- trix. cracked up their airplane Sun day night at the Bridgeport airport in attempting to make landing.
 The airport manager said the Mollisons attempted to bring their plane down on the unlighted field and plunged into a marsh beyond the field. He did not know whether they were injured in the crackup.
 The Mollisons left Wales Satur- day to hop the Atlantic.
 A first bulletin on the condition of the Mollisons said that both were sleeping and that their condi- ton was improved. The plane was badly damaged.
 No announcement has been made yet whether they will continue on to New York, thence to Bagdad, and thence to England as they had planned.
 Physical exhaustion caused the accident after they had flown 39 ho,,ro fro,,o Do,oJ;oo CorJc uyo1oc to within 60 miles of New York.
 Their gasoline was nearly gone.
 They tried to bring their plane down on the runaway of the air port only to have it overshoot into the nlarshlands and turn over.
 T was SO tired l didn't know where was headed" said Mollison, as he and his wife were carried off the field on stretchers. He couldn't sec" cried Mrs Mollison.
 On their flight over the Atlantic the Mollisons fought contrary winds and then hit fog patches and head winds over Newfoundland and down the coast. It was six pm. Sunday night when their black plane soar ed over this airport and Fred Mol Ter, the airport manager went aloft and tried to guide the Mollisons to the airport runaway.
 Mollison had been signally frant- ically and suddenly shot down and nosed over into drainage ditch He had previously cut his ignition switch to prevent a fire. The Mol lisons were thrown clear of the plane and a distance of Is feet.
 As the airport attendants sought the bodies in the darkness with their flashlights they heard the cry: For Gods sake come over here"
 It was Mollison and not far from him they found his wife. The at- tendants slashed fabric from the plane tc make emergency stretchers and hastened the pair to the hos pital.
 Tt was much more difficult tourney than we anticipated" Mol lison told doctors as they bandageo abrasions on his legs and treated ether cuts. Bandages were applied to Mrs. Mollison's lacerated right hand and abrasions on her legs treated. She said she was sorry they had not landed in the daylight when they found their gas running low. q wanted to land at Boston '
 Mollison had been at the planes control for 37 hours.

hearts, showing the second suit. Mir Milton had a perfect right to feel that his partner would not open with less than the ace, queen of spades, and the king and queen of hearts. Therefore, his next bid was seven on trump.
 He figured his partner had prob- ably two five-card suits, or at least d five and a four. If he bid seven in either of the majors he would be dependening upon the breaks in that particular suit.
 MT Milton felt sure of making four spade tricks, three heart tricks, two clubs and two diamonds -11 tricks in all. To make a grand slam he has only to get break in either spades or hearts, and even though he does get a bad break, he still has the possibility of a squeeze with his double stop per in every suit.
 East's opening lead was the queen of clubs which MT Milton won with the ace, and 1t easily can be sen that the only possible chance he has to make his grand slam is to guess the heart fnesse correctly. However, the lay of the CdrOS WAS III HIS ldNOl oo hS SOON two rounds of spades. He could not afford to overtake the second spade for fear one hand held four spades to the ten spot.
 So he was at once confronted with the problem of how to take the heart finesse. He finally decided to take it through the king jack. so his next play was the ace of hearts followed by the ten Of hearts. East refused to cover and played the four.
 MT Milton went on with his original plan and allowed the ten to ride which held the trick. All he then had to do was to play the six of hearts.
 East's queen dropped, the trick was won in dummy with the king of hearts and MT Milton now had more tricks than he needed. However, due to the fact that his partner had made a weak original opening bid, MT Milton was forced to jeopardize a sure vulnerable small slam for doubtful grand slam that depended upn a finesse.

The Bidding.

The Bidding.
 North and South were vulnerable and South was the dealer. South elected to open the contracting with one spade.
 While will bid hand contain ing five spades headed by the k, o, and five hearts headed by the K, o, J, will refuse to open the hand if one of the suits is minor, and under no consideration will open hand containing less strength than that.
 While today's hand does have a six-card spade suit, and a five-card heart suit, neither suit is solid and partner must supply the missing card or lucky finesse must be tried. It must be remembered that in one over one system you can safely pass this type of hand as partner will keep the bidding open on the slightest excuse.
 After the bid of one spade, MT Milton, sitting north, stated that he felt like making a seven spade response. However, he elected to bid two no trump. This is a forc- ing bid and bid the partner can not pass.

 At Chattanooga I had the pleas ure of meeting George F. Milton of the Chattanooga News, real contract bridge fan, who attributes contracts popularity to the fact that it is so self-absorbing that one playing the game completely forgets everything but the problem confronting each hand.
 MT Milton likes the new slam bonuses and reaches out and tries for one whenever there is even a bare possibility of making it. The following hand shows the danger of opening a two-suit hand with less than the required strength when neither of the suits are solid, even though they are both majors.
