trick and even if he happened to
set up the spade king for South
it wouldn't do South any good.
But West shuddered at the
thought of leading away from his

West wanted to over-rutf South.
led another club. That allowed
South to ruff with the jack, draw

Break the Rules!

Bridge beginners are given so
many rules to remember that we
often wonder how they manage to
get any fun out of the game Bridge
must really be a wonderful game to
survive such schoolroom stuff. Ac-
tually. we can't think of sny rule
that doesn't have to be broken every
once in while-and there are some
miscalled rules which ought to be
broken more often than not!
Let's take simple case as an
example. Years ago the punditS
used to say, Never lead away from
king" Yet today, every good
player can think of dozens of cases
which absolutely demand such a
lead; and what are you going to
do when you hold all four kings?
Even worse was the case of the ace
queen. To lead such suit against
trump contract was almost as
bad as trumping your partners ace!
But sticking to that rule cost West
the setting trick in today's hand.

II miles on paper-and few people
can find the paper.
The Puerto Rico Emergency Re-
lief Agency started preliminary en-
gineering along this road in 1893.
Some minor work was done, and
then the project was dropped until
| 1889, when the Army sought action
| to halt the growing casualties on the
narrow, twisting turns that held
heavy mechanical equipment to a
4-mlle-per-hour speed.
With the Army interested. the
insular government sat back. Some
OF the astute politicos figured the
Army would get tired of waiting, the
Army would build the road and the
Army. forever, would be stuck with
It's maintenance. The Army didn't
fall for that one. but agreed to a
setup where w. p A.. insular gov
ernment and Federal Road Aid
Administration would combine, each
to its assigned strip.
Island Has Done Nothing.
That agreement was reached 18
months ago. Today drive out from
San Juan shows great activity, for
those 9 miles. w. P. A. is throwing
the dirt and spreading the asphalt.
Their strip will be finished by June
30-usable before that date. Ex-
perts say 1T is good work.
But what lies ahead? There's
one strip just ahead on which the
right OF way has not even been
| acquired by the insular government.
There's another strip on which a
contract was let to a Puerto Rican
firm, and then 1t was discovered the
firm could not post a bond.
The Army and Navy, busy almost
beyond human endurance with
their own urgent problems, have
kept hands off this piece OF bun
Cling. But the Army and the NAVY
at Puerto Rico are now ready to
enter a second and vastly greater
| phase of the permanent defense
plan-a new, combined Army Navy
air-sea and submarine base which
will draw all of the projects to date
on this island of headaches.
The Military May Be Fed Up.
There's speculation as to whether
| they will tolerate more of this
! bungling, stalling and buck-passing
| by forces less spectacular but more
potent than the highly-touted Fa-
| langista.
This new development will tie to
the eastward Of Puerto Rico the
Island of Viegues and provide the
anchorage and drydock facilities for
heavy cruisers and battleships of
which San Juan is wanting. The
details are hush-hush. but it Is
known that 100000 has beer
earmarked for this project, and there
are those who believe it will be a
$500 900 900 base.
Much has been suffered in silence
because all of these other develop
ments represented emergency work
and because the Army or Navy
officer in Latin America must also
be diplomat. There's the posi-
bility that this new project may
bring forth the long-awaited ex-
ample of co-ordinated authority.
