Today, a Wes.ern system that

That the female of the specie is
still more deadly, was demonstrated
once again when the National Open
Pair championship was taken re-
Gently by Helen Sobel of New York
and Margaret Wager of Atlanta.
Georgia. In SO doing, they further
reinforced the claim that has been
made for them by this contributor,
as the greatest women's team in
history. -~!
Today's hand is from the first
round of that event and Is a neat
illustration of card counting and
the safety play combined. Vests
opening bid of one Diamond and
North's double are routine and
East's bid of one no trump meets
with the approval of this depart
ment. Note that he ignores COM
pletely the superstition that a bid
over double denotes weakness. A
bid over double merely denotes
the possession of some values, but
not sufficient to justify a redouble.
A redouble is made with a hand
that is above average in high cards,
and would be warranted with the
East hand upon the addition of
about a Queen. North's jump to
game is rather on the aggressive
side but is made in the light OF
Souths free bid.
| The King OF Diamonds was
opened and East, not desirous of
shift asked for continuation by
playing the of Diamonds. West
dutifully continued with low Dia-
mond and declarer ruffed in dummy.
1t was quite evident that the de-
fense intended to kill dummy's
entries and prevent the establish
ment of the Spade suit. Declarer
cashed the Ace of Spades and ruffed
himself in with Spade. Deciding
that it would be necessary to estab-
lish a Club trick, he led low Club
toward dummy. West played low
and the 10 forced Easts King. The
Queen of Diamonds came back and
dummy ruffed with the 6 of Hearts.
On another Spade lead from
dummy, the King fell from Easts
hand and South ruffed with the 4
of Hearts. Declarer then led an
other Club which West took with
the Ace and led the Ace of Dia-
monds, at which point it was time
to make a recapitulation. West was
known to have had originally, four
spades and from the fall OF the
cards apparently five Diamonds. He
has followed to two rounds of Clubs
and is known still to retain the
Jack of Clubs, he cannot therefore
have more than one Heart. At any
rate, the Ace of Diamonds was
ruffed with the Ace of trumps in
dummy. With the knowledge that
East had three Hearts, there might
be the temptation to finesse tive 10
of Hearts, but it is not necessary 20
assume such risk. West might have
! the single Jack of Hearts. A low
Heart was therefore led to- declar-
terss Queen, and,a Club returned to
dummy's Queen. At this point
dummy had only two 6cards, the
Queen and Ten of Spades, A Spade
was led from dummy with assur-
ance. West is. known to have the
Jack Of Spades and the 10 of
Hearts is now an assured winner.

form of the verb to alibi? Is it
"alibing" or "alibying"?
A. Neither. Simply add ling to
alibi, and spell it: Abiding. The
verb to alibi, ito offer an excuse"
is a rather new American idiom,
and is not to be found in many
dictionaries. The past tense of alibi
is spelled: Alibied. If the iii OF
abiding strikes you as irregular or
improper, consider the verb to Xxi:
The ling form is always spelled:

@. My boss and I cannot agree on
the right way to capitalize the sur
name of Charles de Gaulle. In
using the surname only, should one
write "Gaulle. De Gaulle, Degaulle," "
or de Gaulle"?
A. The "de" of French names
means "of or from" 1t is never
capitalized except when it begins a
sentence. Correct:
De Gaulle told the French people
that :.

de Gaulle that

is: Duh COLE tgole to rhyme with

To Gust Chilean Reqime
BY the Asseeioted Press

SANTIAGO. Chile, Dec. 22.--A

missioned officers and one civilian.
They received sentences ranging
from 514 days in exile in Chile to

beens charged with heading a plot
to oust the government Of President

US. SeeksJoint Action
To Curb Revolt Danger
In Latin America

The United States is seeking to
work out with other American re-
publics Joint action to curb the dan
ger of military revolts in Latin
America.
This was disclosed yesterday in
State Department statement
warning that use of force as an
instrument of political change" is
increasingly a danger to all the
countries of this hemisphere"
The department said this govern
ment had expressed its growing
concern" over recent military coups
against elected governments in some
Latin American countries to "a
number" of other hemisphere gov
ernments.
No Sign of Central Direction.
Acting Secretary of State Lovett
told questioners at a news confer
ence today that the department had
no evidence to substantiate reports
that the revolt countries had central
direction.
