East's opening bid Of one diamond
was, Of course, sound. as was South's
one-heart overcall. The rest of the
bidding Is beyond us, although the
comment Of the letter is that North
had hunch slam could be made
hence his second-round bid of two
spades and his eventual redouble. We
don't exactly see where North got his
hunch. OF course, he did hold two
aces, but he had no distribution and
his partner had merely overcalled.
However, now for the analysis Of the
main point: East's double Of the six
bid was bad. True, she had . sound
bid, but her opponents might hold 4
very freakish hand. She could not
expect to make tricks with her king
queen Of spades or king-queen of dia-
monds, and could therefore figure on
but one defensive trick. Furthermore,
she should realize that In many cir
cles that particular double would call
for the particular lead of club (the
first suit bid by dummy. And now
West actually decided that her part
ner's double did call for . club lead,
and opened the queen Of clubs. where
upon the hand was made, since de-
clarer was now able to discard his
losing diamond and his losing spade
on dummy's long clubs.
Incidentally, to show how unfortu-
nate that opening lead was, we need
only point out that on the normal
lead Of diamond and perfect defense
South could have made only three
odd, and would have been set even at
. game contract.

Tom Cooper Is
Winner Again
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In The Sir Walter Hotel

IL
Raleigh, Sept. 28.-Some folks in
North Carolina have been holdine the
opinion that Wilmington's Mayor
Thomas E. Cooper is rather flighty,
cratic sort of fellow who picks up an
issue only to drop it if he doesn't get
what he wants in a big hurry.
In short, they have been attribut-
ing to him something of lack of dog
eed determination and bulldog ten
acity.
That opinion should have been dis
PEELED by TOMS record, which shows
him to have made one of the hardest
uphill comeback fights ever success
fully made by any one, anywhere.
But if it wasn't the successful ter
mination of Coopers fight for new
bus terminals in Wilmington should
now thoroughly convince any and all
doubters of the Cooper constancy.
The terminal fight began nearly two
years ago-was actually started even
before Tom went into office in the
city hall down by the sea.
Now it seems over, with Whining
ton to get brand new $35, 1000 ter
minal in one of the best locations in
the city.
But in between take-off and land
ing there were times when even the
stoutest wills might have wavered.
The companies hemmed and hawed.
They quibbled and evaded. Real es-
tate owners and agents in Wilmington
fought each other bitterly in efforts
to reap financial rewards. Rival hotels
battled fiercely to get the terminal as
a next-door neighbor.
But Tom continued to persuade, ar
que, bully, threaten, plead and COM
promise. Now he's getting the station
Said Utility Commissioner Stanley
Winborne to your correspondent:
Successful termination of the bus
