For kibitzing one event, the pur-
chase of a s25 bond; for kibitzing
one label throughout the tourna-
ment, a $500 bond; for kibitzing one
player at all times, no matter where
he sat, $1,000.
A group Of Is or more Washington
players, under the direction OF Will
liam Cheeks, who was master Of
ceremonies, added to their securities
by watching and playing In bond
purchases when they were not play
ing. They will return home tomor-

Dealer should open the bidding
with one heart. 1t is not enough for
two heart forcing bid, which
should have a minimum of five high
card honor tricks. A three bid is
out of the question. II partner re-
spends with two hearts, regardless
of an intervening two diamond or
two club bid, the opener should bid
four hearts. If partner on the first
round bids, three hearts, a jump.
opener should still bid four hearts;
if partner makes a jump bid in three
diamonds or three clubs, the dealer
should then invite slam by bidding
four no trump, and If partner has a
legitimate three bid in one of the
minors headed by the ace, he should
bid five in that suit. Dealer should
then bid a slam in hearts and will
make it unless there is very un-
usual division of the cards.
If partner makes no bid on the
first round, even if there is an in
tervening nuisance bid of two dia-
monds of two clubs by either adver-
sary, dealer should show his strong
hand by calling three hearts, not
two. Then if partner has only one
trick, he should carry on to four
hearts. If his hand is a blank, he
will pass and the dealer will still
make three hearts.
The somewhat unusual hand given
below was played by Sjgurd Voss in
recent rubber game at the home
of his brother, c. H. G. Voss. BY
faulty bidding on the part of his
opponents and rather bold bidding
by his partner and himself, Mr..
Voss succeeded in making small
slam contract in spades.

assuring you, that to the best of my
knowledge and belief, it represents
the reasons behind the policy of the
Allied leaders.
First let me quote from the guard
ed remarks of Winston Churchill be-
fore the house of commons in Feb
ruary:
The sanest and safest course for
us to follow is to judge all parties
and factions dispassionately by the
test of their readiness and ability to
fight the Germans and thus tighten
the burden of Allied troops. This is
not time for theological prefer
ences for one side or the other, and
certainly, we, His Majesty's govern
ment, have not INDUCED ourselves in
this way at ALL"
And he might have added, the
American government, the Ameri-
can army, is equally uninterested in
ideologies.
Another point Churchill made
should be noted for later comment:
Should we succeed in the present
battle and enter Rome-as I trust
and believe we shall-we shall be
free to review the whole Italian po-
litical position and we shall do so
with many advantages which we do
not possess at the present time"
So much for the shadowy outlines
Of the defense.
Let me give you now, from my
notebook, in the order in which I
took it down, the story as told to
me by one "who ought to know"
cat the Bari conference, there
were number of parties which
seemed to agree, but they failed to
offer a concrete program or one
that there was any firm guarantee
would receive unified support. In
war. we cannot guess. we must
know. There is no definitely estab-
Ished leadership among the anti
Fascists.
"We know there is no future for
any leadership under the king and
Badoglio. But we must operate in
