West reasoned that his diamond
length made it unlikely that his
partner had doubled just to get a
diamond lead. If the double was
based on general strength, a nor
NAL lead would produce best re-
suits. He therefore led the four of
hearts. and the result was a slaugh-
ter. South managed to win five
tricks, but that still left him down
four for penalty Of 1.100 points!
Who was responsible for getting
the partnership into this sour con-
tract? Was North the criminal or
was it South? Decide for yourself
before reading on.
South was the criminal, and his
main crime was in opening the bid
ding with one spade With four
cards in each black suit, it almost
invariably pays to open the bid
ding with one club. When the hand
is weak. as in this case, it paves the
way for cheap rebid of one spade.
Had the bidding proceeded in that
way, North would have gone to two
clubs, and South would have passed.
That contract would probably have
been set one trick, but loss of 100
points on an unlucky hand is far
from tragedy.
Having opened with one spade,
South was trapped. He could hardly
pass two diamonds, for North might
have a very fine hand with an un-
disclosed fit for spades. He couldn't
rebid the four-card spade suit nor
venture to the level of three to show
the clubs. His actual choice of two
no-trump was no better, for such
a rebid shows a strong hand; the
bid is far from a sign-off. Con-
vinced that his partner had a good
hand. North actually went to game
and then the fat was in the fire.

Well, Fischer is the only man

scription, but Fischer says the
public just happened to be ready
for high-class talent in conccn-
trated doses. And he should
know what the pubic wants.

NEW YORK, May 6 - (F0 -
Handing a clean bill to Edward
j. Flynn, national Democratic
chairman, after a five-Week in
vestigation into charges that
city materials and city labor
were used in paving a courtyard
on his Lake Mahopac estate, a
Bronx county grand jury tossed
into Mayor F. VI. La Guardia' S
lap today the correction of
"abuses which have been found
to exist in respect to the use by
Flynn of city cars and station
wagons
The jury returned a 17-page
presentment last night in which
it declared:
"The evidenc adduced
showed that Edward j. Flynn
had never expressed any desire
that this work be done under
city auspices or by city en-
ployes and without expense to
him, but that, to the contrary
he had asked md expected that
the work would be done by a
private contractor to be prop
erly charged for and paid by
him"
The pTesentment said that the
work was done by city en-
plOyes, transported in city
owned station wagons, and with
City-owned materials, but that
Flynn eventually paid the labor
ers at regular rates and returned
paving blocks and gasoline to
the city.

use of city cars for private pur-
poses in any degree" the report
said. "This grand jury feels
strongly that the Irregularities
and abuses which have been
found TO exist in respect to the
use by Flynn of city cars and
station wagons within the city
of New York resulted from the
close political association of Mr..
