Goren on Bridge BY Charles H. Gore"

My statistical survey mas not yet
been completed, so that I am not at
the moment in position to state
with authority whether majority
of the occupants of park benches
have been reduced to their sad
plight by failing to draw trumps.
But I am willing to announce, and
with the utmost confidence, that
the virtue of getting out trumps
has been distinctly overstressed.
In today's hand South became
declarer at a final contract of four
hearts on the sequence of bids in
dicated in the diagram. My own
preference would have been for a
final contract of three no-trump,
but the auction was steered into its
eventual channel by North's bid of
three hearts, which leaves some
thing to be desired. That North
was justified in insisting upon a
game there can be no doubt, mas
much as he held an opening bid
facing partners opening bid. But
with an evenly balanced hand and
no ruffng value he would have
been better advised to proceed
forthwith to final contract OF
three no-trump. He had the 13
points which responder is required
to have for a game commitment in
no-trump.
A casual inspection of the hand
reveals four losers Two in clubs,
one in diamonds. and almost Ger
tainly one in trumps, unless the
queen and jack of hearts were
doubleton or West held singleton
honor. To draw trumps at once
could leave declarer at the mercy
of this remote holding He hit upon
a superior plan, which involved
drawing no trumps at all. He
planned to throw the lead near the
end of the hand and force the
opposition to lead trumps to him
Now if the heart honors were split
his contract was secure.
The first diamond trick was won
with the ace and declarer cashed
the two top spades and ruffed a
spade, he then entered dummy with
the king of diamonds and led the
last spade. When East failed toI
follow it was a good bit of luck, for
declarer could safely ruff the trick,
leaving himself with three trumps
in each hand. He then cashed the
ace of clubs and got out of the lead
with a club. The defense could cash
a diamond and two clubs, and could
arrange for either one of the two
to win the last trick. but in any
case one of them would have to
make the lead to the 10th trick.
Declarer by then playing the queen
and jack of hearts to be in different

@. We have burning question
for you to answer. If Dewey had
been elected President on November
Q, 1948. would it now be improper TO
speak of him as President Dewey?
C. N. F.
A. Had he been elected, his
proper title today would be Presi-
dent-elect. According to informa-
ton furnished me by the Library Of
Congress. a President-clect who is
not the President holding office, has
no official powers, and performs no
official duties until he takes the
presidential oath.
The only official recognition given
him is that after the election he
is protected at all times and under
all conditions by the United States
Secret Service.
Had the election been won by
Gov. Dewey, Mr.. Truman would still
be President in every sense of the
word, with the White House as his
official residence. AS it is, Mr.. Tru-
man is both President of the United
States. and the President-elect.
Inauguration Day used to be

election day.

hands was able to pick up all the
tricks, converting an almost certain
adverse trump trick into no trick
at all. Actually East won the last
club trick and led the five of hearts.
West had to play the queen, dummy
won with the king and declarer
then f1nessed against East's jack.
Had West won the third club, he
would have been obliged to lead
the queen of hearts, exposing part
ner's jack to finese on the return.

care. There are things l don't

Il am free today from noon. Let

We looked, huddled together in
a phone box. And, so near to me,
Fleurette was a dangerous neigh
Dor. There proved to be no Copley-
Brandon in the book.
We stared at one another. She
shrugged - it was a truly Gallo
shrug - and opened the door.
1T is mysterious" she declared.
What do we do, now?"
As l went out and stood there
with Fleurette on the busy street,
a subtle change. or so it appeared
to me, had come over the scene.
I can't explain exactly what l
mean. But the faces of the passers-
by looked more friendly.
FleMette seemed to be think

had made her mind up.
