The bidding:
South West North East
Pass 2NT Pass
3NT Pass Pass Pass
Opening lead, queen of spades.
Reflex action at the card table
has caused the loss of great many
hands. There are certain plays that
one forms the habit of making in
routine fashion. In a great many
cases suppose it will be inconse-
quential but ultimately analysis is
bound to prove superior to instinct.
One of the instructive type plays is
for second hand to play low when
an unimportant card is led from
dummy. Had East not been alert
early in the play South, the de-
clarer. would have stolen a game in
todayis hand.
The bidding was strictly accord
ing to Hoyle. Note that South
chose to open with one no-trump
rather than an Introductory dia-
mond bid, which is proper strategy
when one holds a 1883 distribu-
ton and a point count ranging from
16 to 10, particularly where no four
card major suit is held. West led
the queen of spades against the final
contract of three no-trump. De-
clarer properly ducked in both
hands. This is correct technique,
even with two shoppers, since two
key cards must be driven out (the
ace and king of hearts,.
Note that this holdup by de-
clarer would have rendered the con-
tract absolutely secure, if the open
Zig iCddCi IlCiN a oih-Idio Spdu6o
suit, provided he did not also have
both the ace and king of hearts, in
which case nothing the declarer
did could succeed.
With eight tricks in sight, the
game going trick was available only
in hearts, so declarer promptly led
the deuce from dummy. Had East
refiexly played the three of hearts
Second hand low the jack would
have gone to Vests ace, and while
he could clear the spades, he could
never subsequently get in to cash
them. East, however, was on his
toes and, as the heart was led. he
played the king in an effort to hold
the trick if possible. When the king
did hold he cleared the spades
while his partner still retained an
entry card in the ace of hearts.
The moral of the story is this:
When your partner is making an
attempt to establish a suit at no
trump it is your solemn duty to
exert every possible effort toward
winning trick early in the play in
order to return his suit, and help
clear it before his entry cards are
taken from him.

Controls Restoration .UnderW Woy
 BorkIey Feels
 Acceptable Bill
 Will Result

Washington, July 17-(UP)-Ad- ministration leaders opened a new drive today to restore price ceilings on meat, poultry, grain, dairy products and other commodities.
 They asked Senate and House conferees on the OPA. revival bill to reject the Senate-approved plans to exempt specific items from price control.
 One administration stalWart who declined to be named predicted the conferees would agree to restoration of the controls. He said also that nine senators who formerly favored specific exemptions now have chang ed sides. This, he said, should clear the way for full Senate approval of restoration of controls on the food items as we'll as petroleum and tobacco.
 The O.PA. conferees had planned their first meeting last night, but cancelled it when most of them had to attend another conference on a Senate-H House dispute over the price of silver. They hoped to settle the silver issue early today, and then race through the O.P.A bill.
 Senate Democratic Leader Alben w. Barkley, Ky, dodged making any flat predictions on the confer- ence report, but said the price measure might be ready for Senate and House action tomorrow. He said the sky is the limit" for action in the conference.
 The same Administration leader who forecast elimination of the Senate's exemptions for specific commodities predicted the Senate and House would vote their approV- al of restoring the items to price control. He added that the measure then would be acceptable to Presi- dent Truman. He admitted, how ever, that any compromise price plan would meet renewed bitter de- bate in the Senate.
 A House decision to send the bill to conference without directing the House confereeS leaves them free to help vote out the decontrols.
