The proposed establishment of temporary city court headquarters at the Waterbury hospital this morning failed to materialize, due to the inability of certain court at tachees to make the trip. As a result Joseph Crose, 30, of 28 Center street was granted a continuance until to- morrow morning when afetr the reg ular session in city court, Judge Ed ward Mascolo, Prosecutor Charles Summa, Clerk Irving Pasternak, Patrolman Joseph Garvey, and other court associates will visit the institu- ton to hear testimony to be of- fered by Miss Nellie Chestnas, "A, also of the Center street address.
 Crose has been held at local police headquarters since April 5rd, the date of the alleged assault and has been granted several continuances until this time due to presence of Miss Chesinas in the hospital where she is receiving treatment for a frac- tured jaw.
 Attorney Joseph Guilfoile, counsel for the accused, stated he will waive examination and have the accused bound over to the next criminal term of the superior court in June, be- lieving the states witness is uncer- tain as to the proper identity of her assailant.
 In the disposition of other city court cases this morning John Caw- cit, 59, of Ill South Leonard street, charged with breach of the peace, was given nolle.
 Another continuance, this enc un- til May 18th. was awarded to Louis Jannetty, 40, of Cheshire road, charged with obtaining money under false pretenses.

diamonds. North saw that he could
gain little from the bidding, ex-
cept the probability of q successful
club finesse. But, as dummy had
only one club, this was not enough
to give him his 10th trick.
The second round Of diamonds
was ruffed, and North took the
chance of finding the king Of spades
In the East hand. The finesse of
the queen lost to the king, and West
returned a heart, which was won
with dummy's queen.
A club was returned from dummy,
and West won and led another
heart. North now led four more
rounds of trump, and West found
the task of protecting both spades
and club impossible.
An effective squeeze had been
developed through taking advan-
tage Of the position Of outstanding
key cards.

CONTRACT BRIDGE
BY WIN. e. MCKINNEY
Secretary of the American Bridge League
Takes Chance for Game Decarer Plays for Favorable
Distribution of Cards. Held by Opponent,
to Make His Contract

Bridge players long ago learned
that when, to make a contract, they
must find a certain favorable dis
tribution of the cards. there Is only
one thing to do, and that is to play
for that distribution. What does 1t
mater, in trying to make contract,
II the hand does 60 down one trick
more than 1t would have If the de-
clarer had been willing to submit to
what he thought was bed break
and take a loss on the chance that
god break would give him to con-
tract?
AS q matter Of fact 1t is just such
situations that give players the OPP
portunity to make the hands about
which bridge lovers like to read
overcoming obstacles that for the
moment appear impossible.
