Der that two bid is often made on q
flexible hand, and that opener may
have to probe around to get your CO.
operation in locating definite cards and
eliminating losers. You must use some
imagination as we'll as method. In this
respect the two bid (and its subsequent
bidding) differs fundamentally from
the three bid which we will discuss
shortly. For instance:
North Hand
:A1S,o Aa9Jx *AaJ
South Hand
AK Xxx
xxx &KQxx
North, two spades; South, with ample
Justification, three no trumps; North,
four hearts; south, five hearts. Now
the fit OF the hand has been ascer-
tanned. and North knows that South
has still at least another king in his
hand. The question is, has he the ace
Of clubs? North should now bid six
diamonds, saying as plainly as pos
sible, six hearts is sure; control the
diamonds; can you take the first club
lead?" With the hand as given, South
must sign off at six hearts. Had he the
ace of clubs. he should bid seven hearts.
He knows that If North has some dia-
mond losers below the ace, he can dis
card two OF Souths diamonds on the
spades. and ruff diamonds There can
hardly be more than one diamond loser
in North's hand, as South has already
learned about two losers elsewhere-the
heart loser which he eliminates with
his king. and the club loser which
North Is announcing by his last bid.
Four hearts in one hand against you,
and at the same time less than four
spades In that hand would perhaps beat
you. After two rounds of trumps you
would. on learning the sad news, have
to take the diamond finesse instead of
ruffing them out after spade leads.
However, six hearts would in any event
be the right contract, even if they
should beat you a trick.

Texan Declares

Representative Patman, Democrat, Of
Texas, yesterday advocated complete
and immediate independence for the
Philippines, saying he feared war with
Japan was imminent unless that step
was taken.
THE Philippines as an American
possession constitute a real danger
point. and giving them independence
would make war with Japan much less
likely" the Texan said
"A declaration of war by Japan would
be followed Immediately by seizure Of
the islands. and we either would have
to send our boys over and sacrifice them
or lose our national honor. I want to
see the Philippines independent because
/ believe that step would remove Japans
greatest incentive for war"
Patman added he believed a congress
sional resolution would be all necessary
to freeing the Philippines. and added
