Fine Points in Bridge
BY SHEPARD BARCLAY

South. who therefore made only
two overtricks.
At third table West led the
spade S. the Q losing to the A.
South sent a heart to the A and
East returned spade. West get
ting two tricks but blocking the
suit, so that South made one over
trick.
At fourth table West led the
spade 10, the best lead. The Q
covered and lost to the A. When
East won then with the heart A,
he led his spade to the J and X.
and West returned the 8 to the Q,
giving East a chance to run
enough spade tricks to set the
contract.
Poor South was downcast about
being the only player who en-
countered that defense. But 1t was
his own fault. When East returned
the spade 5, he might have played
low. West could have won that
trick with the or K. II with the
latter. he would then have had to
present South a trick with the J.
and II he won 1t with the s. his X
would have blocked the suit and
South therefore would have made
his contract plus an overtrick. But
suppose East had held the K and
returned that anyway Then
South's play would have been the
J. That raises the question Of how
likely East would have been to do
that with such holding. Your
guess is as good as anyone's else.

many sis likely to look with the
greatest disfavor upon the project"
Such an attitude, it must be con-
ceded, would not be altogether un-
expected on the part of Hitler and
his associates. Yet it happens that
at the outbreak of hostilities a year
ago tomorrow Der Fuehrer pro-
claimed to the world II will not

I have ordered my air force to re-
strict itself to attacks on military
objectives." True, the open towns
of Poland were bombed within few
hours after the promise was given;
but the pledge, though broken from
the start. never has been withdrawn.
Does it not follow that Secretary
of State Hull would be abundantly
justified if he were to remind Hitler
of his commitment? An American
vessel bearing helpless infants from
FnTland to the United States could
not be considered a proper target
for assault. Since Germany must
