CONTRACT BRIDGE
Cooperation Sets Hand Defense Figures Cause of Partners Peculiar Play, Replying with Trick That
 Defeats Contract
By VIM. E. MCKINNEY Secretary of the American Bridge League

Defense post-mortems of close hands, in which the declarer full fills his contract, often are a series of "If you had led," and so on, but unfortunately they don't pay off in bridge. Defense always is difficult on correctly bid hands, be- cause at best the defending players are groping in the dark, while to the declarer both his strength and his weakness are an open book.
 In today's hand, taken from the recent National Masters Individual championship, there were few who found the way to cash the setting trick, although it was always there for those who thought correctly, and visioned the distribution as it ac- tually was.
 Many players would have opened South's hand, but the final contract would have been the same, for, had North and South elected to defend, the penalty would have been great

 When the dummy was exposed South saw that the hand would be made unless he could cash a trump trick. His problem was to make that as near a certainty as he could. After winning the first trick. he cashed the ace of spades, and then laid down the queen of clubs.
 Now it was North's turn to stop, look and listen. Why had South de- liberately set up the spade king i'll dummy? He could not want a dia- mond lead.
 Perhaps he could shut out dunn my's impending ruff of clubs with trump honor, but if so North must

DECISION DUE SOON
ON SEAMAN VOTING
N. L. R. B. to Act Quickly
as Strike Is Threatened
by c. |. 0. Unit.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Edwin S. Smith. member of the
National Labor Relations Board, said
today the board would decide quickly
when to hold collective bargaining
elections among employees of Atlantic
and Gulf Coast steamship lines.
Leaders of the National Maritime
Union, a Committee for Industrial
Organization affiliate, had declared
they will call strike against 79 COM
panies unless the elections are held
forthwith.
I'VE won't tolerate any further de-
lay" said John Lawrenson, a spokes-
man for the union.
Lawrenson said the International
Seamen's Union. an American Fedora
ton of Labor Union, was presenting
a farce" in its appeal to delay the
elections until it can perfect re-
organization of its structure.
The elections would determine which
union will represent the seamen en-
ployed by the lines. Each claims a
majority
Charlton Ogburn, counsel for the A.
F. Of L. Union, opposed premature"
elections and pleaded against what he
said was undue haste.
The G. 1. o. union claims the sup
port of 10000 seamen. Lawrenson
contended East Coast seamen had
waited long enough for the collective
bargaining elections before taking
steps to negotiate their accumulated
grievances with the ship owners.
