The bidding:
South West North East
1club Pass diamond Pass
i spade Pass 3diamonds Pass
aNT pass Pass Pass
Opening lead: -Four OF hearts.
At no-trump play there are GER
tain problems which, like the poor
are always with U.S. One is whether
or not to hold-up, that is, to refuse
the first trick, when able to win it.
The other is which of two suits TO
develop. A combination Of the two
presented itself to the declarer IN
todays hand.
South opened properly with one
club and Vests failure to overcall
at the level of one, the vulnerable,
indicates that he must have been
operating on short bank roll.
Either that, or perhaps he tried II
once and was doubled. I, myself,
am rather straight-laced on the
subject of vulnerable overcalls, but
timidity such as this has tendency
to bring over my normally placid
countenance the big exclamation
mark expression. North responded
with one diamond and South showed
his four-card major. Some play
ers with this type of hand prefer to
rebid one no-trump on the theory
that if partner is unable to take
further action that probably will be
the best contract, but the spade bid
has the Endorsement of this depart
ment. North's jump and Souths
three-no-trump bid were purely
routine.
The opening lead was the four OF
hearts and East played the queen.
Declarer was tempted for moment
to refuse the trick, hoping to ex-
haust East of hearts. If that could
be done the diamond finesse could
be taken safely into his hand
Analysis, however, showed that 1t
was not possible to exhaust East OF
hearts. West cannot reasonably be
expected to have more than SIX
hearts. He has led the four, and II
he also has the three and the two
he will have only six-card suit
which will leave East with three.
If the queen is permitted to hold,
East will continue the suit and de-
clarer will play the jack, but West
will refuse to win the trick, permit
ting his partner to retain a heart
to fire back, should he obtain the
lead.
True enough should the diamond
finesse succeed, declarer could take
all the 13 tricks, but overtricks are
a minor consideration at rubber
bridge, compared with the impor-
tance of finding the safest way to
fulfill contract. If three club tricks
can be won. the dangerous diamond
finesse need not be risked. While
there is an even chance that the
diamond king is right, there is bet
ter than an even chance that the
club honors will be in different
hands, in which case two club fl
nesses can be taken. There is the
added chance that East might have
both club honors.
On this line of reasoning, declarel

injured. -
Medical aid sped today to the
island, the largest of the Islas Marias

and 100 miles south Of Mazatlan.
A coast guard boat carrying doc.
tors, nurses and medical supplies
left this Pacific port at midnight.
A squadron of seven Army planes
was ordered to fly there after dawn.
There was little possibility that
any of the TOO or so convicts got
away, but air crews were. instructed
to be on the lookout for boats leav-
ing the island. The prisoners are
lifers or long termers. ,-o-

Washington AIeted
On Counterfeit Bills

Christmas shoppers, storekeepers
and others here were ~arned today
by the Treasury Department to be
on the lookout. for counterfeit $40
and $40 bills. which began circulat-
ing in New York and Chicago about
month ago and have found their
way in some numbers to Baltimore
Washington financial institutions
are being put on notice by the
Secret Service to watch for the iml-
tation money. officials here warned
that in the rush of the Christmas
season, when people are busy and
tired, efforts will be made to pass
the counterfeits.
The surest way to tell a bogus
note is to lay one beside a genuine
one and the difference will be ap-
parent. While the notes are con-
sidered pretty good limitations, they
are mot of genuine quality" tc
quote a Treasury official.
Authorities consider this serious
business and warned there will be
lots of losses" unless the public is
vigilant.

Coop Owners Upheld
In WestmoreIandC Case

The cooperative owners of the
WestmoreIand Apartments today
had won the right to occupy apart
ments they have bought but whose
ownership was questioned by IL
present tenants.
Chief Judge George P. Barse OF
Municipal Court settled the ques-
ton when he granted eviction suits
filed by the cooperative to gain
possession for its members own
use as living quarters.
In Judge Barse's memorandum
opinion on the case, he held the
cooperative had been properly in
corporated and had taken proper
title to the 59-unit building at 2122
California street NV. and that the
membership we're owners within
the meaning Of the rent act"
The defendants had argued last
Tuesday that the cooperative
members were not landlords IN the
proper sense since they enjoyed no
use of the land itself.
Judge Barse rejected second
argument that the cooperative was
not legally organized under the
1910 act Of Congress, since, the
tenants argued, cooperative real
estate ownership was not specif1-
cally provided for In the act.
The chief Judge ruled that the
tenants had no power to raise this
point, because only the Govern
ment authorities granting co-opera-
tive charters can question the valid
ity of any given charter,
