clarer laid down the spade A and
led the 4 to II. East then decided
to lay down his two red aces, to
see what signals his partner
would give But he got the lowest
possible card on each. the 4 on
the diamond and the 3 on the
heart.
The only chance for another
trick. to set the contract. he
reckoned. would be by a run.
West. with a singleton diamond.
might have led 1t originally, but
with a singleton heart might have
refrained because it was the dunn
my's suit. Hence. he might have
had a singleton heart. SO to the
next trick East led his heart 2.
That made IT easy for South. who
got the rest Of the tricks.
If East. instead Of doubling the
original 1-Heart. had bid 2-Dia-
monds, West would have led the
diamond K. then the 4 to the A.
Later the heart A and spade X
would have set the contract.

Lansing, Mar. 4-UP-Two fights
doomed on the senate floor today
enc on passage OF the Bishop tour
list advertising bill and the other on

again a final vote on the Post ag-
ricultural measure.
Although the tourist promotion
measure passed preliminary debate
with little trouble when the SEN
ate convened last night, Democrats
said they would fight its passage
today. Major cause for the objec-
tons was the complete disregard OF
a joint conference Of house and sen
ate members for Governor Van
Wagoner's request that a commits
sion be created to direct expendi-
lures of the tourist advertising ap-
preparations. He asked for a So.
900 provision for administrative ex-
penses and hire of a director
through which the advertising
would be directed.
Compromise Figure

ised between the 100000 appro-
priation originally proposed by the

TO be divided, $4,000 TO each OF
the four major tourist associations
and a similar amount TO agricul-
tural groups, $4,000 to advertis-
ing the state as whole, and 81. 500

jority ran into severe objections to
passage OF the measure within their

further postponement today.
