Goren on Bridge
Both sides vulnerable. South dealss
NORTH


The bidding:
South West North East
/ spade 4hearts 6spades Pass
spades Pass Pass Pass
Opening lead, king Of hearts.
1t is concededly difflcult to dis
play any personality when the OPP
ponents have reached a game or
slam and you are gazing at an
assortment of cards that are better
adapted to the game of gin rummy
than to contract bridge. Neverthe-
less, on those occasions 1t behooves
one to maintain a stiff upper lip.
Boredom may give away the show
and enable declarer to place the
missing strength in the hand OF
your partner. Then too, one never
knows when some unheralded card
like a nine or ten may sink the
enemy ship and even with q hope
less hand ones discarding may be
helpful to partner who Is some
times in doubt as to what to hold.
The East of today's hand never
suspected when he picked up his
cards that he was to be the leading
man of the very exciting drama
upon which the curtain was about
to be raised. Vests preemptive
bid of four hearts prevented any
scientific investigation of the hand
and North's slam bid was a good
gamble. South, feeling that he had
rather more than he might have
held, went on to grand slam, q
venture, which for one, am not
inclined to recommend.
The king of hearts was opened
and taken by the ace. The low heart
was ruffed in dummy, with the 10
of spades and East had to make
discard. The appearance of the
dummy made a club discard out
of the question, so that the tempta-
ton was to let go the deuce Of dia-
monds. East, realized, however.
that holding of four diamonds
might be important If partner held
the king Cf declarer held the king
there appeared to be no hope. He
therefore discarded trump. Note
that a diamond discard would have
permitted declarer to cash four
tricks in the suit after the success
full finesse, and the losing club
could be shed on the three OF
diamonds.
Declarer entered his hand with
a trump and took the diamond
finesse; he then drew the trumps
and repeated the finesse, but when
diamonds and clubs both failed to
break, he had to give up q club
trick at the end.
Despite East's brilliance, declar-
er should have made the hand.
West is known to have nine hearts
and one spade. The clubs and dia-
monds cannot therefore break.
This Is corroborated, though no cor
roboration Is necessary, by Easts
discard of a trump. After ruffing
the heart, declarer should return
to his hand with spade and take
the diamond finesse, another trump
lead permits him to repeat the
diamond finesse and the king shows
up out of Vests hand. At ehis
point the three top clubs should be
cashed and the remaining trumps
led out.
Dummy discards the six of clubs.
and is reduced to the ace and three
of diamonds. Declarer has dia-
mond and a club. East who holds
the 10 and nine of diamonds and
the jack of clubs must make
discard, which he is unable to do
without committing hara-kiri.

she would rush to the door
when she heard him open the
screen door, and hold out her
hand to him. AS soon as she
took his hand to lead him safe
ly, his whole expression changed
to relief and joy. Thus the child
a responsibility.
O., Some of the causes for quar-
reling among children brought
out at the outset of the discus
sion were jealousy, inferiority,
Illustration and differences due
to different age. The younger
child is curious about the older
child's possessions and if the
mother enlistS the older child's
cooperation in showing the youn-
ger one just what his room or
private property looks Like he is
satisfied and both children have
been benefited,
1t was brought out that as all
mothers know, no two children
are alike and thus what works
with one will not help the other.
Patience and loving understad-
ing on the part of the mother is
necessary for harmony.
Also, mother should be con-
sistent and not punish for an
offense one time and ignore the
whole thing some other time.
Mrs. Stevens brought out the
fact that physical factors play
large part in child training. At
the end of the day when the
children are tired and hungry,
if the mother will quiet them
selves by telling of some event
that happened that day, while
she is preparing their supper,
harmony can prevail until they
are fed and settled down for
the evening.
1t was further pointed out
that investigation has proved
the fights and other difficulties
children get into on the way to
and from school with other
can be traced to quar-
reling parents at home. The
children heard the parents diff
fering with each other and they
the attitude in their
associations.
The children's problems
could be ironed out and their
way made happy and safe by
parents each day living a more
christian way, growing in pat
lence, kindness and most of all
in expressing devine love to-
ward members in their home,
their children, their neighbors
and all mankind.

Medical Student Draft
With Education at
U. 5. Expense Urged
BY the Associated Press

The Association of American Uni
versities wants the armed services
to draft medical students and other
specialists right along with other
youths-and then send them back
to school at Government expense
whenever authorities decide the
training would be in the Nations
future interest.
The plan, which might require
changes in the Selective Service Act
of 1948, would substitute for the ed
ucational oeferments being granted
certain classes of students.
1t would apply only to specialists
under % years of age.
Submitted to White House.
The recommendations Wer e
adopted by the association at a
meeting in New York December 4
and were submitted to the White
House last Wednesday. They were
prepared by a committee which in
cluded Gen. Eisenhower. now pres
ident of Columbia University.
Other members of the drafting
committee we're President Herman B.
Wells of Indiana University, chair
man; Chancellor Arthur H. Comp
ton Of Washington University, and
President Harold w. Dodds of
Princeton.
The resolution submitted 20 the
White House says the association is
opposed to the educational and
occupational deferment of men be-
low the age of % years; consequently
the association recommended that
no educational deferment be afforded
men below this age, and If necessary
to accomplish this end that the act
be amended" 1t goes on:
In view of the authority of the
armed services to assign selected
members for specialized training in
educational institutions, the aSsoCia-
ton recommends that, whenever the
appropriate authorities of the Gov
ernment, in addition to the Depart
nent of National Defense, conclude
that the future welfare Of this
coutry might be damaged by with
drawing specially qualified lnen from
particular kinds of training, the
armed services utilize their author
ity."
