TN previous articles I have dis
l. cussed some of the difficulties
which beset a defensive bidder sit
ting over an original bid of one no
trump
A player considering a defensive
bid in second position has a difficult
decision to make. From the origi-
nal bid and his own holding, he
realizes that his partner and his
left hand opponent have compare
lively little strength between them
If he finds that strength and a
favorable distribution in his part
ner's hand, defensive bid will re-
suit in a valuable part score for
his side.
On the other hand. If the diStri-
button is bad and his opponent
holds the missing high cards, he
is confronted with a heavy penalty
Good players dislike to make
blind guesses and they have devel-
oped an ingenious way to cope with
this situation.
This is known to some of them as
a forcing pass although that term
is slightly inaccurate and possibly
constructive pass would be bet
ter.
When this convention is used, sec
ond hand will not bid over one no
trump unless he has a veritable
rock-crusher. He reserves his de-

Contract Bridge

How it works out in practice is
we'll illustrated by the hand ana
lyzed in my previous article, which is
given again herewith.
The Bidding
South opened with one no trump
and West passed, being vulnerable
and desiring to know more about
the hand before he entered the bid
ding.
In view of North's extreme weak
ness, he thought best to pass, and
wisely so, for two heart contract
would be defeated. East and West
were using the forcing pass conven-
ton so East kept the bidding open
with an informatory double.
The double seems totally unjusti-
fled at first glance, but it really is
the result of perfectly logical rea-
Soning.
North had passed an opening bid
OF one no trump and must there
fore have a complete blank.
While South had shown a good
hand he did not open with forcing
bid and therefore a considerable
amount of the missing strength must
be held by West.
That player evidently had passed.
waiting to hear North's response.
but when North also passed, East
was expected to keep the bidding
open.
Vests pass, in this position. be-
came almost forcing, or at least
highly constructive, and East must
bid suit or make an informatory
double if he holds even one high
card trick.
West responded with two dia-
monds, which became the final con-
tract. Of course, West could have
bid two diamonds directly over the
no trump, but he eliminated much
risk by reServing that bid until he
knew the exact strength of the
other three hands.
The Play
In my previous article I showed
how North and South could make
one no trump even against the best
defense, and it is also possible for
West to make three diamonds.
Norths first heart lead was won
with the singleton king and small
spade led. South took the spade
trick and returned the king of clubs
which was covered by West.
West led another spade and
thereby was able to establish two
entries in dummy to LEAD through
South's diamonds twice.
The declarer lost one diamond,
one club, and two spades to make
his contract with one ovevtrick.

New Dodge
Shown With
Air Wheels
New Tires Favored by
Advantages, Says
Engineer.

Dodge Brothers Corporation has
made airwheel tires standard equip
ment for all its new siX-cylinder
models.
According to George Allen, chief
engineer, Dodge found. among
other things, that the full advan-
tageS of the new tire could not be
realized with front axle and steering
gears of present design. So We
evolved a new tubular front axle
and a new system of cross steering.
In the conventional steering gear
the Pitman arm is mounted through
frame sill; it move parallel to the
drag link
Mounted on Sub Frame
with Dodge's new cross steer
ing the steering gear is mounted
on a reinforced sub-frame-and the
Pitman arm as we'll as the drag
link move parallel to the front axle.
All the factors which cause wheel
wobble, shimmying and so-called
wheel fight are subdued in Dodge
cross steering.
Steering the Dodge, instead OF
being harder because of the new
large section airwheel tires. has been
made still more easy than before.
partly through new design and also
through the use of a new type nee
die roller bearings in which the
anti-friction members are slender
rods of steel. slightly thicker than
ordinary pencil leads.
Steering Is Better
There are, of course, many Sit
uationS in which the large airwheel
tire actually favors steering. On
streets with trolley tracks. airwheels
are not DETECTED in making a cross
run from one side of the street to
the other, even though the angle at
which the car makes the crossing be
the next thing to parallel driving.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1933-02-04

The outstanding improvement is
power brakes and, in addition, au-
tothermic control of carburetion and
manifolding to aid combustion
Only four points require lubri-
eating attention at $500 miles-all
the rest will go 5000 miles. Horse
power has been increased in practi-
cally every model.
Included among other advance
ments are appearance, improved
muffling of intake and exhaust, new
ease of handling due to improved
steering and greater silence.
The new 100-horse power Stude-
baker Commander Eight offers
twenty-five new body types. These
include eight convertible models
sedan and roadster on each wheel
base.
In addition, there are f1ve-passen-
ger sedans, st. Regis broughams,
two and our-passenger coupes and
a seven-passenger sedan and seven
passenger limousine on the Speed
way President. A state or regal
model with extra equipment is also
provided for each body type on all
wheelbases.
In appearance Studebaker retains
standards of beauty and grace,
while streamline has further reduced
wind resistance approximately 8
per cent in the Speedway President,
for example, nearly four miles per
hour being added to top speed.
Radiators slope at much sharper
angle, with curving sweep forward
at the bottom. Tenders blend into
the radiator apron and are carried
down low over the front wheels to
cover the mechanism underneath the
car.
Running boards are curved in con-
formation with the new trend in
body line and blend easily into the
rear Tenders. Everything flows in an
easy way from front to rear.

On the second round he can elect
whether to make his defensive bid,
depending on which player shows

To do this, however, he must be
sure that he will have
another chance to bid, and this is
the reason for the forcing pass con-

SEES RENEWED
BUYING AT HAND

Because there have been far more
miles of transportation consumed
since 1929 than have been produced
in the nations automobile factories,
w. S. Knudsen, president of Chew
rolet Motor Company, today de-
clared the day of reckoning is at
least three years nearer at hand
Buying will start when people
become sufficiently dissatisfied with
what they now own and use. There
are seventy-two million people in
America over 20 years of age and
out of this large number there are
millions of prospects for 1888. We
expect to find sufficient buyers to
attain our objective of 100000 Chew
rolet cars and trucks for the year"

OTTO MAY HEAD
HUNGARY UNION
, WITH AUSTRIA

T LONDON, June % Q.N.So -
Nrchduke Otto of Hapsburg stands
out as a likely future ruler OF a
proposed AuStro-H Hungarian union,
which is now the subject of Euro
oean negotiations, International
News Service learned from an au-
thoritative italian source today.
According to Premier Musse-
lini's representatives in London,
the British and French are in
sympathy with the project, and
even Chancellor Adolf Hitler has
agreed.
Credence was lent to the Italian
statements when it was learned
that Premier Julius Gomboes, OF
Hungary, who so far has been op-
posed to a Hapsburg restoration,
will fly to Rome tomorrow to dis
cuss the archduke's prospects with
Mussolini.
Efforts are now being made to
convince members Of the Little
Entente that it would be to their
interest to stabilize European
frontiers by restating them in a
new constitutional monarchy over
the prop Austro-Hungarian
union.
Mussolini, it was learned, is be-
hind the idea for restoring Arch
duke Otto to the throne on
grounds it would settle the Austro-
German Anschluss question once
and for all. British circles char
acterize Britain as sitting on the
fence regarding the proposal and
the French as listening"
