four spades shows no losing tricks in spades.
 South bids five hearts to show that he would prefer to play the hand in hearts. North can take the contract to seven hearts. East makes a fine sacrifice bid of seven spades.
 South now is confronted with quite a problem. His partner has made a cue bid in spades, showing no losing spades. Due to the fact that South holds singleton spade, it looks very much as though North holds the ace of spades rather than a void, and, if this is the case, undoubtedly a grand slam :n no trump can be made.
 However. South should not guess
 his proper declaration is to pass. This is @ forcing pass, requiring partner either to bid seven no trump or to double.
 Naturally, without the ace of spades, North is forced to double. If North's cue bid had been based on the ace of spades, the grand slam in no trump could be made.
 This is a fine example of the forcing pass, and is bid for which our readers should watch carefully.

Solution to Previous Contract Problem

Naturally, most of the interest ing hands at contract bridge pre- sent only a problem in bidding. The following hand was indeed an in teresting problem. due to the fact that East, in the course of the bid ding, had put in a psychic.
 Over south's bid of one heart North should bid two diamonds rather than support the heart suit Remember that we do not advocate the supporting of partners bid with less than four trump-even with three to the ace--if there IS {. better bid in your hand. until partner, by a re-bid, shows his suit to be at least five cards in length.
 East's bid of three clubs over the two diamonds, of course, is purely a psychic, with a good out in spades. South properly doubles the three-club bid, North letting it remain. N,
 If East had passed, East and West would not take trick. East

therefore, can only guess at what was
said around the table. But it is fair
TO assume that such insignificant mat
ters as new deals, war debts and arma-
ment problems were not mentioned.
Instead, the conversation would be
about really important things, like
children. homes, books. fiowers-the
things that humanity has talked about
for unnumbered ages. So the hours
passed, and at their end Mrs Roose-
welt returned to the American embassy

democracy. their unassuming humility,
their devotion TO duty; those who
know them only through the press,
the movies and the radio admire them
for the same qualities. They have en-
deared themselves still further to their

their courtesy to Mr.. Roosevelt S
