Mckinney On
BRIDGE
By WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY
Americas Card Authority

Every couple of weeks l have
luncheon at the New York Athletic
club with Bert Lebhar and Lee
Hazen, treasurer and counselor
respectively, of the American Con
tract Bridge League.
Every meeting is interrupted
with a bridge hand. The one
am giving you today threatened tc
wreck the meeting at which il
came up.
South bids one spade, West
passes. What should North do with
the cards shown?
The first thing asked was, Who
is my partner" and Lebhar said,
"Waldemar Won Zedtwitz."
In that case, I said, I might bid
two hearts, but Hazen disagreed,
insisting that I would have to bid
one no trump because Won Zedt-
WITT is the lightest opening bidder
in the world. Hazen said, how
ever, that he would risk two-heart
bid if Lebhar were his partner.
We all agreed that if North bids
two hearts and South bids two
spades, North then should pass.
That is the way the bidding went
when the hand was played. East
and South then passed, but West
doubled. East held all the ad.
verse hearts and West held all
the spades, so whether North and
South stayed in spades or ran to
three hearts, they went down about
1400.
There are few experts who
would pass with the North hand
over South's one-spade bid, but
the majority would be inclined to

No Reason for Over Optimism


his press conference concerning the
Russian situation, to-wit: II am not
alarmed about it. Pm sure we will
work out of it." is helpful, especially
as it is supported by the lass News
.Agency's declaration that American
reports of Russian troop movements in
the Iran-Iraq-Turkey region do not &C
cord with the reality It is impos-
sible to believe that the crisis is safely
passed, but certainly there is reason to
hope that it may be.
Former Ambassador Hartman has
told Senate Committee that in his
belief Russia is playing game of bluff
and at heart wants to he friends with
the United States. If what has tran
spired in recent days is merely bluff,
however, it has every semblance of
reality" This is especially true of
Premier Stains declaration that in
light of Winston Churchill's call for an
Anglo-American military alliance
against the Soviet Union, it is difficult
to see how Britain's proposal for a fiji
ty-year friendship alliance with Russia
could be established. There is an ele-
ment Of pure bluff in this, to be sure,
as Mr.. Churchill made his proposal as
Ia private citizen, not as an official of
Great Britain.
1t would be safer, surely, to refer to
the position Of Britain's Foreign Min
lister, Ernest Bevin, on this fifty-year
amity proposal, to gain an idea of the
official British attitude. He speaks
with authority, whereas Mr.. Churchill
can speak only from habit.
Replying to his critics in Commons
on his methods of dealing with the
Soviet Union, Mr.. Bevin revealed on
February 20 last that he had offered
to extend the Russo-British alliance
from twenty to fifty years, and fur
ther to consider changing it in any
way to build up Russian confidence in
British Intentions. IT cannot be &C.
cused OF not wanting friendship with
the Soviet Union for all time if / can
get it," he told Commons.
While this is the governments 20
sltion, it would be unwise to overlook
the note of anxiety about British-Rus-
sian relations injected into the debate
IN Commons day earlier by former
Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden, who
declared Russia seemed willing to
collaborate only con her own terms"
and added, "that won't work."
MIR. Eden, who was talking in Par
lament and not from a platform in
another country, as Mr.. Churchill did,
struck the note that has echoed SO
strongly in this country during the
recent and still unsettled unpleasant
ness, and obviously spurred Secretary
OF State Byrnes to address his sharp
notes to Moscok. Said Mr.. Eden:

Yes, Mr.. Truman's statement to the
reporters is measurably heartening,

are bluffing, the United States must
be prepared from minute to minute to
