Goren on Bridge

Reluctance on the part OF the
players to give up tricks which must
inevitably be lost is a common and
costly failing. Postponing the ev'l
moment of payment never makes the
bill shrink. Witness South's short
sightedness in today's deal.
The bidding was sound in all re-
spects. South having opened a hand
that was minimum IN high caros
could do nothing but rebid spades IN
response to partners one-round
force. North was justified in raising
to four, Inasmuch as he held a
sound opening bid himself, he could
visualize a game when partner
opened the bidding. The problem
was to find the "spot." He made
every effort to induce partner to oio
three no-trump, but when South bid
shades for the third time his two
trumps became normal support, since
opener had identified six-card suit.
West opened the king Of hearts
and when the doubleton showed
up in dummy, promptly shifted to
the queen of spades. Declarer won
and returned heart, but west
continued with the jack OF trumps.
After winning this trick declarer
placed all his faith in the even break
of the diamond suit. On the third
diamond he discarded one OF his
hearts. # this trick lived he would
discard his last heart on the fourth
diamond which the opposition could
win only with the high trump. IN
fortunately, however, West ruf1ed
the third diamond and cashed the
setting trick in hearts.
Declarer could have rendered the
contract virtually ironclad by the
simple expedient Of giving up the
trump trick early instead OF late.
The important consideration was to
assure the uninterrupted run OF
diamonds. When West leads the
queen Of spades, !declarer should
permit him to hold it, since one
trick must be lost in spades at all
events, The best that West can now
do is cash. the ace of hearts and
continue with trump. But now all
the trumps can be drawn and dis
cards taken on the solid diamond
suit.
South had a trump trick to pay
eventually. Discounting the bill
would have been very profitable
procedure.

Security Council of the United
Nations, this afternoon are COM
plotting their conference on lifting
the Berlin biockades by the Rus

in the western zone.
1t was reported that Jessup
and Malik have agreed on, all
points for the removal of the
blockades. but it was added that
they will not report their findings
to the public. Instead, they will
submit their statements to the
United Nations Assembly at Lake
Success, N. Y, and the UN will
issue the announcement.
State Department and other
government officials still are not
too confident that an agreement,
satisfactory to the Western Pow

1t was stated further that the
Russian proposal must be with
out any loophole, or basing their
agreement to lift the blockade on
any other matter over which the
Soviets and the Western powers
are at odds in the German area.
The act must be confined solely
to the subject matter under dis
cuSSion.
Nothing in the agreement will
have anything to do with the or
