two no-trump. Now South bids three
hearts, and at this point North has
only one correct bid. He must go to
three spades. And yet most North
players will simply rebid to three no.
trump, their logic being that they have
no-trump distribution, but the real
reason being that they see only their
hand and want to be declarer. And
yet, If they think carefully, they must
realize that the fact that their part
ner has bid spades and hearts indi-
Gates he has an unbalanced hand. say
with a singleton diamond, in which
case diamond opening lead will i'm
mediately defeat a three no-trunp
contract. Also 1t is worthy of note
that when North bids three spades,
South. his partner. can still bid three
no-trump If he has a four-card spade
suit, and that the three-spade bid
does not demand that the hand be
played at spades.
AS a last example we have the fol-
lowing: North held
Spades AQxx
1SdIIS

Clubs xxx
North and South were vulnerable,
East and West not vulnerable. South
dealt and opened the bidding with
one diamond. West overcalled with
one heart. North quite properly bid
a spade, East bid two hearts, South
three diamonds, and now West jumped
to four hearts. North decided to pass,
and when the bidding came around
to South he bid four spades. West
and North passed, East doubled and
every one passed. It seems that
South's hand was:
Spades xxx
Hearts K
Diamonds A QJxx
Clubs A K
All six spades were b,:nched in the
East hand and, since North misplayed
the hand. he went down 1,100 points,
whereas five diamonds was an abso-
lutte laydown. South was very put
out and claimed that North should
have bid five diamonds right over four
spades, without even waiting for the
double, but that when East doubled,
North was just insane in not going to
five diamonds.
North countered by showing various
hands where four spades could be
made whereas five diamonds would
be set a trick. South granted that
such a situation was possible, but
pointed out that ON the other hand
he (South) had rebid his diamonds to
three prior to showing spade support
and had therefore indicated that he
thought five diamonds would be q
better contract than four spades; also
that that suggestion was made with
out knowing that his partner held as
many diamonds as spades. South
pointed out that for all he knew North
might hold as many as six spades and
only one diamond.
In spite Of the logic Of South's rea-
soning, North stood by his guns and
the hand was put up not only to US,
but to several other experts, and they
all agreed with us that South was cor
rect and that North should have bid
five diamonds right afte- South,s
four-spade bid.

the sale of bonds to investors At the time,
they worked it out so that the building would
have been clear and the bonds amortized at
the end Of IS years. Then came the Govern

Raise More Capital
The sponsors Of the building were obliged
to go to the people who had invested their
money in the structure, explain that now they
had not only no idea when the investors would
get their money back, but that they must also
put up $4,000 more per year to carry the
building.
The wretched part Of the undistributed profits
tax is that when a handful Of Treasury en-

there were thousands of legitimate corporations
and companies, large and small, that also would
be pushed from the black to the red side of the
