CHS radio program, "Strike It
Rich"
Six months ago his wife persisted
in the fire that destroyed their
barn. Suffering severe nervous
shock and temporarily bereft of
the power Of speech since that
tragedy, Anderson was too poor
for extended medical treatment or
the complete change of scene
deemed necessary. Local doctors
recommended a change of sur
roundings as the only cure.
Yesterday, his only child, Eliza
beth, q, who came to New York
to find work and earn money to
establish a new home for her
father, appeared on the CHS net
work program, "Strike 1t Rich"
and sailed with flying colors
through five quiz questions to win
$3.50 in cash. This money, she
says, will be more than enough to
begin their new life.

I had the pleasure to see the
vast city that has made news

Miss Buck has described China in
her novels from THE Good Earth"
to the conflicting of the ancient
customs with the acquired customs
of the West. Upon entering the
Yangtze River, one can see great
fetile fields primitively cultivated,
but the good earth is productive.

into view; the French Bund, the
Palace Hotel, that has catered to
members of most every nation. A

a visitors first impulse Is to look

king Road, after stopping briefly
at the once very elaborate Palace
Hotel, making inquiries and paus-
ing for a vodka cocktail. With the
inflationary money excahnge, my
cocktail cost me 10000 Shanghai
dollars (about 40 cents). On the

phere of suffering. A beautiful
dining room, lounge in the lobby

There is much to see in Shang-

people-thousands of people, some
with no home but the very streets

passers-by keep going. After a con-

SUPERIOR BRIDGE
BY HORACE s, DEAR
Exploding a Theory
South
81 10
H-K Q 10 s
D-A X Q 10 3
Go 3

For several years the experts
have disregarded the theory that
you should always bid the longer of
two biddable suits first.
This weeks bridge hand is in
tended to show how the experts
handle the bidding. With two bidd-
abel suits that are touching. and
whose entire hand contains less
than four honor tricks.
Holding five diamonds headed
by the A X Q and four hearts
headed by the X @, the expert first
dds hearts and bids diamonds on
the second round. Eearts and dia-
aones are touching suits. and the
practice among experts is to bid
The higher ranking of any two
touching suits first even though
the lower ranking suit is longer
by ore card. If the lower ranking
suit contains six cards or the en-
tire hand is worth four or more
honor tricks, then the lower rank
ing suit should be bid first. In the
case where the lower ranking suit
contains six cards, that suit should
be bid twice before bidding the
higher ranking four card suit.
Let US assume that the South
hand shown opens the bidding with
one diamond. and partner bids one
spade, one no-trump, or two clubs.
We bid two hearts, should partner
prefer diamonds to hearts, he is
con PEELED to bid three diamonds,
and we may be in too deep; but if
we open with one heart. and part
ner bids one spade, one no-trump,
or two clubs, we now bid two dia-
monds. should partner prefer
hearts to diamonds, he bids two
hearts and we are still on the two
level; should partner prefer dia-
monds to hearts, holding mini
mum hand for his bid. he simply
passes and we are playing for
two diamonds.
Note: Experts do not consider
the bid of two diamonds as forcing
in this sequence of bidding; if the
responding hand holds minimum
for his take out bid, he feels free
to pass to two diamonds, knowing
that partner did not hold a strong
hand, or he would have opened
the bidding with one diamond in
stead of one heart, therefore it is
very unlikely that a game would be
rissed by passing the two diamond
bid.
Hints on Defense
You are sitting South and hold
SO 8 2, the final contract is
three Mt. by South behind your
East partners spade bid. Your
opening lead should be the spade
two and not the @, this lead will
limit the declarer to one spade
trick if he holds S-A x or X j x,
but if you lead the SO there is no
way of preventing the declarer
from obtaining two spade tricks
with the identical holdings.
