play another diamond and West, being out of hearts, would be forced to play either a spade or club, which declarer would win and make his contract.
 However, West made a very nice play. Instead of returning the three of hearts, he shifted to the jack of clubs. Declarer's only hope now was that East held three clubs to an honor and might fail to un- block.
 He l1opped right up with the ace and led back the six of diamonds, West winning with the jack. West now played the king of clubs and East failed to play the queen, thereby blocking the suit.
 Now you can see how the argu- rnents start. ''Why didn't you play e small club?" shouted East. ''Why didn't you unblock by throwing your queen on my king?" answered West.
 When I left the table: North and South were still arguing over the bidding. with East and West at swords point over the play

Solution to Previous Contract Problem

It is hands like to-day's that cause heated bridge arguments. Can't you just imagine two part ners starting in on each other, even before the hand is played-"D Didn't you hear me bid and rebid dia- monds?" and "Why didn't you take me to four diamonds with hand like that?"
 Well, the argument over the bid- ding was nothing compared to the argument that developed over the play of this hand.
 East made a natural opening of the queen of hearts which declar- CT won with the ace, the proper play. If he held up one round, West would be out of hearts and, when he got in, would be forced to hift suits.
 Declarer now played the king of diamonds and, when East's queen dropped. West took the trick with the ace.
 Now, if you will look the hand over carefully, you will see that, if West returned the three of, hearts the contract could be made. North would win the trick with the king.
