Match Point Play.

A LTHOUGH overtricks mean very

orally make the difference between
good score and bad score in match
point duplicate. Accordingly, the we'll
thought>out defense put forth by Bert
Lebhar Of New York, playing the East
hand in the recent Asbury Park tour
nament, resulted in very good score
for him and his partner.

West opened the deuce of spades
Mr.. Lebhar won with the ace, cashed
his ace of clubs, and now looked
dummy over carefully before leading
the six of diamonds-apparently a
suicidal play, since it would surely kill
any honor held by his partner in that
suit. However, Mr.. Lebhar reasoned
properly that if his partner did hold
a diamond honor. declarer would pick
it up anyway, and he, wished to give
the impression that he held a single
ton.
South played the queen Of dia-
monds, East the deuce and dummy
the seven Declarer ruffed the jack
of spades with a low trump and led
the queen of hearts. Mr.. Lebhar
played the deuce, and now declarer
went into long huddle, and finally
decided that Mr.. Lebhar's diamond
play could mean but one thing
namely, that he had a singleton in that
suit and wanted to get ruff on the
second lead. Accordingly, the de-
clarer made the safety play of the ace,
and now played a second trump,
which Mr.. Lebhar won with the king
OF course, declarer made the rest of
the tricks for his contract, but this did
his score no good, since at no other
table at which four hearts was the
final contract did the East player
think of the deadly diamond shift.
Accordingly, each other declarer took
the heart finesse and made five-odd.

lister of economics, is expected in
Paris for conference.
All these conversations have been
of an exploratory and extremely con-
fidential kind, but one main current
of them appears to go in the direc-
ton of closer cooperation between
Great Britain, France and the Soviet
government. France and the Soviet
Republics are formal allies, and as
Great Britain is likely to support
France once more in case of an in
ternational conflict, there is pros
pect of a revived tri-power entente
What has facilitated this movement
is the fact that Italy is moving closer
and closer toward Germany, and that
the possibility of renewed German
Italian-Austrian triple alliance is con-
sidered menace against which Lon
don, Paris and Moscow must guard
themselves.
Great Britain is not in favor of
Soviet Communism, nor pleased with
the present somewhat radical ''popu-
lar-front" government in France, but
in common with Russia and France,
Great Britain is strongly opposed to
fascism in all its forms-does, in fact,
consider it so much of danger that
it has been deemed necessary to
adopt the staggering rearmament
program which now is becoming real
ity. In this hatred of fascism, the
three otherwise divergent powers are
on common ground.
Mediation Problem.
However, British foreign policy
often is most battling. This week
the British delegation at the League
of Nations was to propose mediation
in the Spanish civil war at the quar-
terly meeting of the League Council
Geneva; such move was to be sup
ported by France, Belgium and the
papal court. But no one expects any
results from it, for it is felt that the
proposal is not made in earnest; is
simply one of the traditional tricks
of the English. It seems, in fact,
quite clear that Great Britain does
not want to force Spanish matters
to head, and that the proposal would
have for its sole purpose the pre-
venting of the Spanish government
from demanding ''show-down"
against Italian and German partici-
patton in the Spanish war-on the
side of the fascist rebels.
Inscrutable are the ways of Brit
ish foreign policy, for while it is
without doubt that the English are
extremely opposed to Italian fas-
cism and German nazism, it appears
that they look with more favor on
the establishment of a fascist govern
ment in Spain than on the not wholly
improbable triumph of the present
legitimist government. It is not the
first time that Great Britain has
stepped in for the purpose of him
dering peace in Spain: Last winter
the Madrid government appealed to
the League against Italian and Ger
man Intervention, but, due to the
pressure exerted by Great Britain,
nothing was done. This time, pros
poets are no brighter.
Furthermore, the Spanish govern
ment as well as Rebel General Fran
cisco Franco have stated that they

has been attained
Executions.
Ever since August of last year
when the first of a series of trials
took place against men who were
accused of having plotted against
Joseph Stain and the Soviet govern
ment-an intensive hunt for spies
and other enemies of the state has
been going on in Russia; lately it
has been accelerated, and the first
results appear in announcements to
the effect that the other day "A per-
sons were executed in Khabarovsk,
Siberia, and 20 in Tiflis; it was said
that they had conspired with others,
now being sought, against the gov
eminent. In some cases it was
charged that they had acted under
japanese orders-especially the ST.
berian group was charged with hav-
| ing caused number of railroad &C
cidents.
One further accusation is that the
men eXecuted-and those still await
ing capture and trial-are followers
of Leon Trotzky. The thesis of TrOt-
zky's continued and alleged meddling
with Soviet affairs persists within
the Soviet Union; with how much
or little truth, one cannot say.

The object of the visits to the
Polar waters and ice is the attempt
to establish a direct air route from

but at that time nothing came of it.
Also, it is said that meteorological

Wedding Bells.
At the Chateau de Candle near the
French town of Monts, the duke of

Mrs. Simpson, in the presence of

Stanley Baldwin has seen to that
before he says farewell to the prime
ministry-and the British govern
ment will totally ignore the event.
The ceremony at Chateau de Candle
will be civil, and there will be no
church wedding, as is usual in France;
one reason given for that is that the
duke of Windsor has been unable
to find any clergyman of the Anglican
church willing to tie the knot (that
