 "Whereas these persons did not comply with the wishes of their or. ganization and attempted to defeat the principles of the club, namely the unification and betterment oi the Italian people.
 "Be it resolved that these per- sons be expelled from the organiz- ation and be 1t further resolved that the organization should refuse these persons membership in the future Be 1t further resolved that the club opposes in like manner the granting of membership to any and all whose actions are self-motivated in whatever trust Is placed in them.

The so-called fine plays in bridge, such as the squeeze and the throw In, often are considered the tools of the expert, not to be used by ordinary players. Actually, any per- son who seeks to master the best methods of getting the greatest number of tricks will more than double the enjoyment he receives from playing bridge.
 1n today's hand, the declarer could have taken a simple finesse for his game going trick-and as a result would have gone down one. Instead, against very strong defense, he found way to make an opponent give him the needed lead to assure the contract.

A club was returned and won with Vests ace. West played an- other round of trumps, which was won by declarer. A small club was led and ruffed in dummy.
 The ace of diamonds was cashed and small diamond ruffed by de- clarer. North ruffed another club in dummy and a diamond in his own hand. This left only one trump, and that held by an opponent.
 North now led the club queen and followed with the ten. East ruffed. Having nothing but spades left, he was compelled to lead that suit. Thus North fulfilled hia con- tract, a result that could not have been secured had he decided to risk his chances on the favorable iocA- tion of the spade king.
