Fine Points in Bndqe

the X and A, the 10 won, then the
spade K, the finessed spade J, the
spade A and the heart J.
AS South scored the game on
the pad, he made no comment,
treating the hand as II II were a
pianola. But just think Of the lucl:
he required. First, the trumps had
to be divided 3-3 between the de-
tenders, against which the odds
were nearly 2 to /. Next, II either
defender had held only two dia-
monds, one would have been able
to ruff the third round, leaving the
other a trump to set the contract.
Third, the club X had to lie Just
right. Fourth, so did the spade Q.
1t did not once occur to South
that he had bid his hearts three
times-same as II he had a nice
six-card suit. II you mentioned
that, he would tell you his bidding
was right when he was a so-much-
better player than his partner
not so much luckier, but so much
better.

session of the big five. That group
[ ecided Friday night to meet daily
until the conferences log jam of
undecided issues has been broken
Advisers to the big five had spent
most OF the night studying the
Russian Interpretation, of which
only & sew copies were available.
They Icrutlmzeo IL ntu one small
hours of the morning, then rose
again after only few hours sleep
to resume their studies.
It was generally agreed that the
Interpretation took "a very tough
attitude" on how the big five might
exercise their veto powers on the
proposed world security council,
and that as it now stands it un-
doubtedly would complicate confer
ence deliberations 1t was doubtful
that the little" United Nations
or several of them, at any rate
would go along with the Soviet in
depreciation.
NO BASIC DISAGREEMENT
1t was emphasized that there was
no basic disagreement among the
United States, Britain, Russia, China
and France over the Yalta voting
formula But the Russian interpre-
tation provided less elasticity for
so-called ''procedural" questions
which could be decided by the Sc
curity council by majority of any
seven CT it's IL members, without
requiring the affirmative vote of all
of the big five powers. Russia
would restrict the category of pro-
cedural questions to a very limited
field, so that she would have the
veto rights of the big five apply to
mere matters than would the other
four countries.
Secretary of State Stettinius OPEN
ed Friday nights big five meeting
by calling attention to the growing
list of issues on which big powers
opinion has not crystallized He
suggested that they meet regularly
until those decisions are reached
and was emphatically supported by

Chinese delegate wellington Koo

 GREAT SURPRISE

PASADENA, Sept. 22-The sur prise of the Rev Charles c. Long, 72-year-old self-styled prophet and leader of a flock known as the. Remnant Church of God" is that the world didn't come to an end yesterday.
 Long had told his followers to be ready to meet their God at 7:33 a. m. or at 5:33 p. m. tPWT).
 At 40 a. m. power line trans former exploded with a roar and flash in southeast Los Angeles. A 12-year- boy who had heard about Longs dismal prophecy thought the jig was up.
 But that was the closest Long came. He says the world way dis integrate Sept. 29. or that it may continue on until the fall of 1946. But that's the deadline, at least as he reckons from vision he said he had seven years ago.
