Two clubs or two diamonds would
have been an ample response on
Souths hand. He was so impressed
with the two aces he had passed
originally that he thought he had
to make big bid.
Nevertheless, only a tricky play by
East stopped the game. West open
ed the heart jack, dummy ducked
and East took the king. A heart re-
turn was won by South's queen.
Now South led the spade two and
put up dummy's queen. East un-
hesitatingly played low and let the
spade queen win the trick.
Now the diamond jack was led
and finessed to Vests king. The
heart jack drove out dummy's ace.
After winning no more diamond
illnesses and cashhg the diamond
ace. South needed only one spade
trick to insure his ninth trick and
the contract. So South led the
spade four and West played the
nine. Solely because the spade
queen had won the first trick, South
decided that West probably held the
spade ace. So dummy's king was
put up and East slaughtered it with
his ace. A spade continuation put
West in with the jack, and Vests
established heart was the setting
trick.
If East had won the first spade
trick, South would have had nc
choice but to finesse for the spade
jack in seeking his ninth trick and
the finesse would have won.

That Gen. Clark
Will Take Rome
By the Associated Prass

BY the ASSOCIATED Press.
FORT SHERIDAN, Ill.-The folks
who knew him when he was growing
up are confident Fort Sheridan's
prize alumnus is going to capture
Rome.
Fort Sheridan's prize alumnus is
1t. Gen. Mark Wayne Clark, COM
mander of the American 5th Army,
which is cleaning up the west
coast Of Italy.
They recall him as student 30
years ago at nearby Highland Park.
a daring young man who had time
for mischief and study.
His grades now filed at High
land Park show he excelled in
plane geometry and English. His
lowest" grades-88-were in Eu-
ropean history and Latin.
This is why they know he will
capture Rome. Over the door of
the generals Office is a sign: En-
ter. Don't Knock"
That, they say, is exactly what
he is going to do when he pulls up
at the gates of Rome.
