Opening lead, queen of hearts.
There are few things in life that
cause such abject despair as that
which comes over player who sees
himself about to be caught in an
END play" from which there is no
escape. When this condition has
been brought about there arc two
antidotes. One is to jettison the
card with which you are to be sad
died with the lead in the hope that
partner can win the trick instead OF
you, the other is to act as though
you are not end played at all and
perhaps the declarer won't realize it
himself. There may be another
line of play available to him. Wit
ness East's performance in today's
deal from recent tournament.
The bidding was short and sweet.
South was in an awkward position
for his response, his minor suit
shoppers were rather remote and
some may take issue with the two
no-trump bid, but there really was
no satisfactory response. North's
leap to six no-trump was COM
pletely justified inasmuch as he had
an excess of two full tricks over
and above his opening bid.
The queen of hearts was opened
and won in dummy with the king.
The slam contract it will be seen
is eminently sound. There are
three chances. The diamond break,
the fall of the jack of diamonds
and the club finesse. The two top
spades were cashed and dummy re-
entered with diamond to run the
spades. East had to make two dis
cards. The first one was easy, a
little club. For the second discard
one East player selected a little
heart. Declarer thereupon tested
the diamonds, then got back to his
hand with the ace of hearts taking
East's last heart away from him
and gave him the lead with the
jack OF diamonds compelling club
lead into the ace-queen in dummy.
At another table East could see
what was coming off and looked
several tricks ahead as declarer
started running the spades. He saw
that declarer had no high card in
either minor suit and that ne
therefore very probably had four
of each. The diamond jack had to
be guarded and it was plain to him
that if he let go a heart, declarer,
who was marked with the ace of
hearts. could strip East of that suit
and throw him in with a diamond
when he found out how the suit
broke. His two discards we're there
fore the three and four Of clubs
in quick succession. When 1t came
to the last two cards, declarer who
had no way of knowing what had
taken place elected to take the club
fnesse instead of playing for the
end play and the contract was set
two tricks.

things in the recent history of
that country.
1t encourages one to believe
that the resources of the Philip
pines are so great that the
islands can be promptly restored
with a minimum of appeal for
American gifts and generosity.
There is a large fund, which
Filipinos tell me amounts to
S130, 100000 or thereabouts,
which is on deposit in this coun-
try. 1t consists of two portions.
one a gold stabilization fund to
keep the Philippine currency on
its 50-cent parity with the
American dollar. This fund
should not be drawn upon. 1t is
essential to restore SCUM d
monetary system, which was
completely destroyed by floods
of japanese paper money.
