Take My Word for 1t
BY FRANK COLBY,
Here's How They Talk.
FiOrello H. La Guardia,

Voice, tenor of rather edgv
quality, but not altogether unpleas-
ing. What the voice lacks in timber
1t makes up in hexibility - that L.
to say, expressiveness.
Enunciation, especially good for 4
speaker not trained specifically for
radio work. As a matter of fact, a
few words are articulated q little
too precisely; and this may be due
to attempts in his earlier public life
to overcome slight Italian accent.
This he has accomplished success
fully.
Style. When La Guardia turned
broadcaster, radio threw the style
book out the window. His tech
nlque" is so unorthodox as to be
magnificent. He wheedles; he barks:
he grows softly intimate: he emits
vocal explosions that all but knock
the network off the air; he breathes
IN short, loud gasps; he drips sin
cerlty; he grows indignant so that
MS words trip on one another,s
heels; he pulls the tremolo stop out
by the roots.
pronunciation, only $3.50. The
important word government was
pronounced "GUV-munt." Tho
word been" was given the dia-
lectal pronunciation ben" La
Guardia has Cow" in Moscow.
instead of rhyming the name with
Roscoe.
Score: Voice, Is; enunciation, 20:
style, 25; pronunciation, II. Total,
80 Rating, very good.

gave himself up. He had friends
among the Scots. but enemies as
well. Before long the King was
turned over to Cromwell.
He was put on trial before a court
with many judges at Westminster
Hall. He was accused of treason for
having tried to plot invasions of
England from both Ireland and
Scotland
The trial lasted three days, and
was marked by the King saying that
the court was without power to try
him. On the third day. the judges
found him guilty, and he was SEN
fenced to death. One statement is
that he was condemned by "55 out
of II judges"
1t was necessary for the death
warrant to be signed by Oliver
Cromwell. We are told that his
daughters were fearful about their
father putting his name on the war
rant. Yet Cromwell was firm, and
signed it.
The King was allowed to enter his
palace to bid farewell to his family.
On the day. set for his death, a
crowd gathered to watch him come
out of the palace.
During the Afternoon of that day
Charles was taken to the place of
execution, and died on the block.
Never before had King suffered
this fate in England. The records
tell us that he met death bravely.

Opening lead: Four of clubs.
The bidding is given as it actually
occurred and to the casual OBJ
server would appear to be normal
in all respects. While the proper
contract was reached on the par
t1cular hand, nevertheless, sug-
gestion or two may be in order as
to- the bidding tactics employed.
North's response of two diamonds
is questionable strategy. While the
hand is strong enough generally for
such a response, sight must not be
lost Of the fact that North has
two things to talk about. One is
the diamond suit and the other is
the spade support. The question
arises, is his hand strong enough to
do both? think not. In such cases,
therefore, it usually pays to make
the more important of the two bids
and that is the raise of partners
major suit. This is known in bridge
slang as getting off the spot"
The objection to bidding two dia-
monds Is that II South should now
rebid two spades North would feel
obliged to raise to three which
would surely be doing lot of bid
ding on a somewhat mediocre hand.
Perhaps the easiest way to bid the
hand is for South to open with one
no trump. With 1883 and about
four honor tricks and a point count
OF 1S the bidding problem is usually
slmpllfled by such an opening.
North's proper response would be
two no trump, not two diamonds.
When the requirements for a raise
are held it is highly improper to
show minor suit. Now South has
the choice of showing the four-card
major suit or going on to three no
trump.
West led the four Of clubs and
the queen was taken with the king.
Attacking his strongest suit, de-
clarer led the ace of diamonds and
followed with the finesse of the
jack. When this failed four club
tricks were taken for the defeat of
the contract.
The strongest suit should not
have been attacked in this manner
because of the danger of permitting
East to obtain the lead. The best
plan for declarer would have been
to enter dummy with the king OF
hearts and lead the eight of spades,
permitting it to ride. This would
have driven out the king and there
would have been no further prob
lem. But if the eight of spades had
lost to the jack, West would have
been on lead and could not attack
the jack of clubs. Declarer would,
therefore, have had time to enter
dummy and try another spade fin
esse. II this too failed there was
still the chance that the queen of
diamonds might fall. 1t does not
pay to place all your eggs In one
basket.
