S nj PaSS PdSS Pass
Opening lead, seven Of clubs.
The time-worn maxim to the
effect that second hand should play
low is one of those that Is more
honored in the breach than in the
observance" It is crutch devised
for those who are unable to walk
without assistance. But for those
who possess powers of locomotion
| it is very ineffective guide. The
rule for second hand as well as any
other hand is to don the thinking
cap.
In today's hand West reflexedly
played second hand low to the cru
cial trick and thus permitted q
three-no-trump contract to fall into
the lap of the enemy. The bidding
followed conventional lines. South
opened with diamond and, after
the heart response, elected to jump
to two no-trump. With holding Of
five honor tricks there may be q
temptation to leap to three no
trump, but such action would be
unduly aggressive. It will be OBJ
served that the hand is completely
lacking In intermediate cards, hav.
ing point count of only IS, which
actually renders the trump
rebid a slight stretch. Such a call
normally requires 10 or 20 points,
We must beware of skeleton" hands.
Note that the addition of any jack
would have made South an OUT
standing "favorite" to win the hand.
North's hand favored suit play,
so he rebid the hearts and South
went on to three no-trump. The
seven Of clubs was opened and de-
clarer held up until the third round
Of the suit. He then led a low
heart and, when West played the
seven, inserted the ten from dummy.
This trick was won by East, who had
no way to get his partner into the
lead to cash his good clubs and de
clarer romped off with nine tricks
when the hearts broke.
West could have prevented this
result by playing the queen on the
first lead of hearts. Declarer could
not afford to let him hold the trick.
since enough club tricks could be
cashed to defeat the contract. He,
therefore, would have to go up with
the king in dummy and now the rest
OF the suit could not be brought in.
Declarer would actually have been
held to his seven top-card tricks,
unless he chose to let the queen Of
hearts hold, in which case he would
be down only one.
Is the play of the queen a double
dummy proposition? I think not.
IT South has the jack the finesse will
surely be taken anyhow. If East has
the jack doubleton he will surely
make it because declarer will be
forced to return to his own hand
and f1nesse the heart to be sure that
West does not get in. If South has
only two hearts he must not be per-
mitted to duck one into the East
hand. Second hand high would have
done the trick.

Rubber Sole Firms Told
To Cease Fixing Prices
By the Assoeioted Press

The Federal Trade Commission
yesterday ordered Is manufacturers
of rubber heels and soles to cease
and desist" from what the commits
sion called a Nationwide conspiracy
to fix and maintain prices for their
products.
The order applies to two trade
associations-the Rubber Manufac-
turers Association, Inc, and the
Rubber Heel and Sole Maunfac-
turers Association.
The commission also issued a
complaint against eight Connecti-
cut rubber er-heel-and-sole jobbers and
their trade association. It charged
them with restraining trade by fix
ing and maintaining prices OF their
products at both the wholesale and
retail levels.
