From the newspaperman's stand.
point, the recent worlds masters
individual championship left little
to be desired. A tradition OF 10
years standing was shattered when
B. j. Becker of New York won the
title for the second time. Mr.. Beck
er won the event in 1897. but prior
to this year no one had ever repeat
ed. An international flavor was lent
to the contest by an entry from
London, England; and last but not
least when I approached the winner
for a hand to place on display in
these columns. he offered me the
above, q deal on which he had OBJ
tanned the lowest score, and for
which he held himself up to sharp
criticism. Now when q bridge cham
pion gives you one of his bad hands.
that's newsl
There was not duh moment dur
ing the auction. East's free bid
Of one no trump was somewhat on
the doubtful side. When q defender
makes q simple overcall 1t is not
incumbent upon his partner to keep
the bidding open with slight values,
and such call should be made onN
on holdings that hold forth some
hope of game. South's double was
normal and West leaped to three no
trump, hoping that partner could
contribute two tricks to the seven
he had for immediate delivery, and
hoping at the same time to block
out any lead-directing~ suggestion
by North.
The king OF diamonds was led and
Mr.. Becker shifted to the king Of
clubs. It was a reasonable assump-
tion that declarer held the ace Of
hearts and II his diamond trick
were established for him, nine tricks
were his for the reaching. On the
king Of clubs North played the 5
and declarer the 8. True enough
the 2 was missing, and If North had
it, his was signal to come on.
But equally true enough, II declarer
held it he would have been alert
enough to hold it up, If 1t served
his interests to have club con-
tinued.
Mr.. Becker felt that he was called
upon to guess whether his partner
held the queen of hearts or the
queen of clubs. He chose the for
mer and shifted to a heart, and
declarer made no attempt to score
any overtricks. The ultimate win
ner reacted mildly to his partners
ironic offering. I'm sorry, partner,
I should have played higher club"
Mr.. Becker criticized himself for
not leading the Z of clubs at trick
three. Upon mature deliberation 1t
would appear that there was q bet
ter chance that declarer had the
queen of hearts. He had little
enough for his voluntary bid Of one
no trump, and If his holding in
ciuded the queen Of clubs but not
the queen Of hearts, he would not
have a particularly impressive hold
ing In any of his four suits. A ma
jor tenace in hearts, however, might
have been an inducement to make q
doubtful one no trump bid.
Then again, all other things be-
ing equal, there was that missing
deuce of clubs.

tenn which agents have followed in
the past, the beatings polling sys-
TENS took in the election notwith-
standing. -
The agents will pick at random q
limited number from each grouping
of returns, according to the taxpay-
ers' occupation, locality and income
bracket.
The agents will examine each re-
turn chosen and, even If it appears
in proper form, will call on the tax
payer and have him substantiate
its accuracy.
If the process shows tendency
by particular groups-according to
occupation, location or income
bracket-to file bad" returns, the
bureau will concentrate on checking
other returns from the suspect
group.
This sampling system will supple
ment, but not supplant, the tax
checking method hitherto used.
The, old system is largely a matter
of individual cases-checking UP
when a particular return looks sus-
picious, but not seeking a group
pattern.
Under the new system, there's a
bigger chance for any taxpayer
no matter how honest his return
looks-to get a call from an agent
for an explanation of how he
figured his tax.
He may be a sample" case who
isn't suspect at all, or merely in an
occupation or locality which has
produced an unusual proportion of
bad returns.
There are some 55,000,OO0 re-
turns year these days. Only about
one in 1000 may get an initial
sample" checking, but follow-ups
will bring calls by agents on q
much larger proportion.
