LONDON, Oct. 6.-Prime Min
lister Churchill today refused to
discuss Britain's war relations
with Russia, urging the House
of Commons mot to press these
matters unduly," after several
members had brought up Joseph
Stalin's letter to Henry C. Cas-
sidy, chief of the Associated
Press Moscow bureau, calling on
the Allies to fulfill their obliga-
tions fully and on time"
The questioners, prodding the
Prime Minister for a discussion OF
both political and. military aspects
warned that any misunderstanding
between Britain and Russia might
have evil consequences on British
war production.
Mr.. Churchill, however, refused to
speak extemporaneously, insisting he
had nothing to add "to the carefully
weighed statement I have made on
this matter"
Advises No Pressure.
This referred specifically to an
inquiry on how closely British
Russian staff matters were inte-
grated, and the Prime Minister
added that he would strongly advise
the House not to press these matters
unduly at a period which is certainly
significant.
Meanwhile, authoritative British
sources said no official news had
been received in London that the
British and American Ambassadors
to Moscow had met to consider
Stains letter, but that such dis
cussion was quite possible.

by a sequence of two or more
cards. open the top regardless OF
length, against either suit or no
trump contract. This lead pro-
vides for the possibility Of find
ing a higher honor in dummy
that will be picked up by your
honor lead.
With three or less cards, top
ped by the ten-spot or lower,
lead the top against any declara-
ton.
AS a general rule, if your first
lead of your partners suit was
correctly the top card, continue
with the top on subsequent
leads: and il if was a fourth-best,
continue with the fourth-best or
bottom card on later leads. But
sight of the dummy and the fall
of the cards on the first trick
may indicate that it is necessary
TO depart from this rule.
Likewise, after opening your
partners suit, follow to his SUBJ
sequent leads OF the suit with
your smallest card cach time, but
watch out for situations where
it Is necessary TO unlock by
throwing your high cards.
In the hand shown today, for
example, South wins the OPEN
ing lead with the ace of dia-
monds and returns the seven.
West can read that North has
an honor, and that South has the
ace of spades.
He takes his only chance by
winning the second diamond
with the king. North must play
the queen, else dcclarer will
make game by knocking out the
ace of spades while the diamond
suit is still blocked.
