Opening lead, king of hearts.
If you have read with care the
bidding diagram accompanying this
hand, you may join those who are
ready to heap abuse upon the head
of the poor type-setter. But today,
assure you he Is blameless. This
is actually the sequence Of bids
selected by North and South. 1t in
wolves a lot of plain and fancy bid
ding, yet I would not be quick to
take issue with it. 1t must be con-
ceded that they had difficult hand
to bid.
Take North's first response, for
example. What is his best call when
partner opens with one spade? There
is very probable game in the hand,
yet response of two no-trump Is
not acceptable without a heart stop
per. The hand is much too good
for single spade raise and not the
type for a jump to three spades. The
way out of the dilemma was to post
pone the decision by making a
temporizing bid. Since South must
bid again when North names new
suit he chose to bid two clubs, in
tending to make up his mind later.
South, curiously enough, chose to
resort to exactly the same type of
strategy. North's highly acceptable
response raised South's blood pres
sure to slam pitch and he flashed
the signal with a Jump In a new
suit, the accepted method for an
nouncing immediate slam inten-
tions. From then on North showed
mere preferences and South con-
tracted for a slam in spades.
The king of hearts was opened
and South ruffed the second lead
of the suit. He extracted trumpS,
cashed his high card tricks and
announced that he was conceding
a diamond trick to the opposition
because he found it inedible. North
may have been impressed with his
partners bon mot, but not with his
dummy technique. South COM
planned of North's vigorous bid
ding with a hand that contained
no ace and no distribution. North
properly pointed out that If his
partner had not held the North
hand in such contempt he would
have fulfilled the contract, by the
simple expedient of converting
North into the master hand.
We concur. Twelve tricks were
there If the South hand were looked
upon as the dummy. After rufhng
the second heart declarer enters
North with a club and ruffs another
heart with the king of spades.
Dummy is entered again with the
jack of spades and the last heart
ruffed with the ten of spades. The
ace of spades is now cashed and
dummy is entered with club or a
diamond and the queen of spades
pulls Vests last trump, on which
South parts with the three Of dia-
monds. The club is overtaken in the
South hand, which has nothing but
high cards.
In other words declarer has taken
in all four club tricks, two diamonds,
three ruffs in the South hand and
three trumps in the North hand,
total of II.

The order outlines a program for

In line with his order, Mr.. Truman
suggested In q letter to Mr.. Forrestal
that young and vigorous officers be
assigned as instructors, and that
more attention be given by general
staff divisions to planning and d.
recting reserve activities.
Available figures indicate that the
present reserve situation is this:

with regular training; Marines, 49,

Marine reserves in the United
States which met once q week for
regular instruction and declared
that is what he had in mind when
he issued his order.
News OF the order was received
ct the Pentagon In mid-morning.
Asked about the order, both Army
and Air Force departments said
they were under instructions to
refer all queries to Mr.. Forrestal.
Several hours later, Mr.. Forrestal's
ONCE issued an eight-line statement,
the substance about which there
was no comment since the order had
not yet been received.
Studies Speeded Up.
The Presidents order apparently
will require O speed-up in reserve
studies already under way. A special
defense committee, headed by As
sistant Secretary Of the Army Cor
don Gray, drew up a comprehensive
reserve program, for all services
which Mr.. Forrestal, declining 10
make any commitments for himself
or the establishment, referred to
the Secretaries Of Army, Navy and
Air Force for comment. The three
Secretaries were given until Novem-
ber l to reply.
The Gray Board recommended
that the National Guard be taken
from control of the States and
turned over to the Army. The po-
litically powerful National Guard
Association has opposed this move
Mr.. Truman yesterday refused to
comment on this proposal.
The Reserve Oficers' Association
has charged that the Regular Army
has virtually ignored the reserves in
setting up the postwar national de-
fense system. The group contended
that only one reserve in "a had
been assigned to an organized unit
The executive order directed the
defense establishment to recon-
mend any legislation necessary to
bring to full effectiveness the Re-
serve Corps and asked all citizens to
