A slight haw In the technique OF
trump management may cost many
hundreds Of points where q slam
contract Is involved. At crucial
stages similar to the one which de-
veloped in today's hand, 10 Is Inn
perative for declarer to take time
for the inquiry. what adverse hold
if1x do I fear?" Such procedure
might have brought this declarer
10 the realization that the trump
suit must be handled with delicacy.
The auction is recorded for Its
historical. accuracy, and not as an
illustration of sound contract bid
ding. South's bid of two hearts Is
distinctly inadequate when one con-
siders the part score of go. The hand
possesses clear-cut slam possibilities,
and vet partner may have no reason
to take further action. In this case,
had West not chosen TO compete
with the bid of three clubs, the
Bidding would have ended at two
hearts. After VESTS three.club bid
North made q free bid OF three
hearts. This does not meet with
cur approval. Having opened with
a minimum hand North should be
content to let his partner have the
next say. The argument that three
hearts Is Just enough for game does
not hold water, If we are to pro-
ceed under the reasonable assump-
ton that South also knows the
score.
Holding the South hand. I must
say that I would have shown some
mild curiosity about q grand slam.
North needs so little. The ace
queen Of spades, the king-queen OF
hearts and the king of diamonds are
not too much to expect from q
player who has opened the bidding
and made voluntary raise at the
level of three. However, South was
going to make quite sure that he
got there 30 he up and bid SIX
hearts.
The opening lead was the Jack
Of clubs and declarer ruffed. Every
thing was solid but the trumps.
Deciarer entered dummy with .
diamond and led the queen OF hearts
for the finesse. The king won and .
club return shortened declarer down
to two trumps, while East held three
and the contract was doomed.
Proper play at trick two Is the
ace of hearts, and this Is not case
Of hindsight. The reasoning is OF
o simple type. II the hearts are
divided three-two the position Of
the king Of hearts Is immaterial.
The opponents Will be conceded one
heart trick and the rest Is simply
u1cpping up. II the hearts are
divided four-one there win be no
way to make the hand unless the
hing of hearts happens 10 be alone.
The reason Ii that when the lead
d next surrendered. another club
play by the defense win bring de-
clarer,s tr1lmps almost down to the
vanishing point.

Laurel Party Protests
0uirino's S Big Lead in
Philippine Vote Count
By the Associated Press

MANILA, Nov. 11.-Jose p.
Laurel. runnerup in the Philip
pines election for President, in
dicated tonight he may retire
from public life.
The man who acted as puppet
president for the japanese oc-
cupation broke his postelection
silence as President Elpidio
Quirino piled up lead of nearly
$4,000 votes in unofficial returns.
Mr.. Laurel said before his final
decision is made in the next few
days II want to find out actually
what happened in this election"
The returns are being protested
by Mr.. Laurel's minority Nacion-
alista Party on charges of coer-
cion and intimidation of voters in
four provinces by Mr.. Quirino's
Liberal Party Administration.
Delays Conceding Defeat.
In an interview Mr.. Laurel said
he would not contede defeat until
Il know the truth of what really
transpired and get the reaction
Of people with me and in the
provinces"
He added quickly. '"The impor-
tant thing is to abide by the will
Of our people. If that will is
frustrated, we must try to find our
way through legal and constitu-
tional means" .
During the long campaign,
which ended Monday night, MIR.
Laurel repeatedly warned Of the
danger ahead If the party in
power resorted to Justification of
votes. Tonight he repeated the
warning and said "You can reach
. point Of saturation."
Asked II he thought the United
States had influenced the election
IN any way, Mr.. Laurel replied:
1T is to the credit of President
Truman and the American people
that they did not. It is the right
thing to do to keep away from
our internal politics. Now Amer
lea is not entangled in repercus-~
sions."
Mr.. Laurel interpreted the large
vote he received as an expression
Of the peoples desire for a
change" He added, IF the elec-
ton was confined to only normal
frauds no doubt would have OBJ
tanned many more votes"
Mr.. Laurel said many people
were angry with Mr.. Quirino's &C
ton in removing one member of
the commission on elections in the
midst Of the voting. He said he
Was trying to appease them.

continues to demand assurances
that she will never again be
threatened by her historic enemy.
Final decisions will probably
not be made until the French
National Assembly meets, Novem-

question and other foreign
policies.
Nevertheless, 1t was assumed by
expert observers that the high
commissioners would be told to
discuss the dismantling question
with the Germans. hoping to find
q way by which French security
could be satisfied.
Economic Steps Taken.
Other things to be mapped out
were the granting Of a place for
Germany in the European family
and possible modification Of the
occupation statute which imposes
strict Allied control over the West
German government.
Steps were already being taken
to integrate the economy OF the
new state into the Western Eu-
ropean setup. Top German eco
nomic officials have been talking
to the French finance ministry
about q $3.50, 100000 annual ex-
change agreement. t.,
Allied high commissioners an
nounced yesterday in Bonn that
they have drafted ways by which
the German government could
carry on its own international
trade-under watchful Allied eyes,
Of course.
It was expected that the West
German republic would also be
invited to take a seat in the newly
formed Council Of Europe, the
new unofficial :. parliament of a
United Western Europe. =
May Send Consuls Abroad. ~::
Relaxing Of the Allied occupa-
ton statute possibly would give
West Germany the right to send

This would be the first step
toward lifting the technical state
Of war which still exists between
Germany and her Western victors

basis. Mr.. Schuman left the

meeting.
