 SAY BRIGHTER IS SAFE Washington, Nov. 2.-(UP)-The Camperdown radio station in Cam ada today notified the coast guard cutter Bibb that the British freighter Coulmore is safe. ;.
 Yesterday the coast guard received call for aid from the vessel and then nothing more was heard from the ships radio. It was feared that she had been the victim of suo- l marine attack.
 The Coulmore's location at the i time it dispatched its sos. call was within the U. s. neutrality zone. American coast guard and navy ships rushed to the area. They found no trace of any wreckage and no evidence of the Coulmore during 24 hours of search.
 The message to the Bibb said that at 2:3O e. m. the Camperdown sta- ton was advised by the Coulmore that she was safe.
 The Bibbs commander said that the Camperdown stations message Justified ending the search.
 The Canadian station said the Coulmore was able to send messages to Camperdown but apparently could not receive the replies.
 The brief message to the coast guard did not say whether the Brit. ish freighter had been attacked by a belligerent naval vessel. Such ar attack would attract close oficia United States attention ir1asmuch al 1t might provide the first major test of the declaration of Panama 1T which the American republics de- clared as a neutral zone broad ses expanse around the Western Hemis' phere republics.

 Meanwhile, the flying boat v-ll3, attached to the coast guard airbase here, resumed regular patrol duty and the amphibian station here stood by for any emergency.

Here is another example of what happens when declarer fails tc count his tricks. Several mistakes were made when today'S hand was played in the following manner:
 The opening lead was won in dummy with the king of clubs, and the diamond returned to the ace Declarer ruffed a small diamond in dummy, returned club to the ace and ruffed another small dia- mond.
 Now the queen of hearts was played from dummy, and the de- fense cashed four tricks in rapid fire order. East won the trump lead with the ace and led a diamond, West ruffed the king of diamonds and then cashed the ace of spades and jack of clubs. This outcome could have been forseen and was the result of an error of technique on the part of the declarer.
 The first trick should have been won by declarer with the ace of clubs and a small spade led. Now the defense is helpless. If two rounds of trumps are led to kill the cross ruff, the declarer cashes the dia- mond ace, ruffs a diamond with dummy's last trump, and returns a spade to ruff in the closed hand.
 Trump is picked up and club played. If West plays the eight spot, the declarer will play the nine from dummy. If West splits his equals, declarer must play the four-spot from dummy. Now you can see that declarer has three club tricks, two diamonds and five trump tricks including the diamond ruff for his contract.
