Opening lead, queen of spades.
Through the years the student
has been advised by his elders to
get right to work on his longest
suit when playing a no-trump con-
tract. That there is no such royal
road to fulflment should be readily
apparent to any reasonable player.
In today's hand, South was de-
claFer at three no-trump. Hold
ing balanced hand containing II
points, South has a standard no
trump opening and it should be
tal 70
pains to show his diamond suit.
Holding only 10 points himself, he
knows that the partnership can
possess no more than 20 of the 40
points the pack contains, and con-
sequently there is no reasonable
prospect of a slam. Since no-trump
is obviously the best contract, the
direct raise should be given and
the opponents furnished with no
>gratuitous information.
The queen of spades was opened.
South won and Immediately went
to work on his longest suit. The
diamond fineSse lost and a spade
was returned. South ducked and
the suit was cleared by West and
since he could not be prevented
from regaining the lead with the
ace of clubs, the contract was de-
feated a trick. Declarer erred in
going for his best suit first. Un-
less West had five spades, there
was no danger in the hand. But
even if he held five spades, he
could be rendered completely harm
less by simply removing his entry
card. The only possible entry he
could have would be the ace of
clubs, since the king of diamonds
would not do for the purpose So
1t behooves declarer first to render
West impotent.
At trick two, the king of clubs
should be led. If West refuses,
the suit should be abandoned and
the diamond f1nesse taken. This
inSures nine tricks even if the
finesse fails. If West takes the
ace of clubs, he will proceed to
clear the spades, but declarer must
hold UP once to run East out of
the suit. Now when the diamond
flnesse fails, East will have no
more OF his partner SulG TO re-
turn. If he has, it will mean that
the suit has broken A and the
adverse tricks are two spades, the
ace of clubs and the king of dia-
Tnonds.
As . general proposition, when
q long suit is opened against you
at no-trump, it is more important
10 drive out adverse entries than
TO take early illnesses.

|Hinqes on Arrival of Walsh
It's Today or Never
Under Rule Adopted
In House Yesterday
BY the Associoted Press

A freshman member Of Con-
gress, Democrat John r. Walsh
of Indiana, was the key today to
whether the House gets to vote on
a bill that would restore twice
daily mail deliveries.
If Mr.. Walsh gets back from a
speaking trip for todyas session,
the House will vote on the bill
and from all indications will pass
it.
If he dosen't get here, there will
be no vote today and perhaps no
other day.
Mr.. Walsh, in Green Bay, Wis,
for a radio program. said last
night that God willing, will be
on the floor in Washington" when
the House convenes at noon.
But at / pm. an hour after the
House convened, he had not ar

the rules he could call the measure
up at any time during the legis-
lative day.
Rule Adopted Yesterday.
The sudden Importance Of the
heretofore little publicized law
maker grows out of a rule adopted
yesterday. This rule says that to-
day Mr. Walsh shall be reconiZed
to call up bill that would cancel

order of last April curbing mail
service and reducing home de-
liverieS to one-a-day.
The rule says that only Mr.
Walsh shall be reconized to call
up the bill, and today is the only
day he shall be recognized.
The rule is no good after today.
To get a new one, 218 House
members would have to sign a
petition, or the Rules Committee
would have to approve the bill for
House action.
Refusal of the Rules Commit

Unions Pessimistic
As White House Tries
To Avert Rail Strike
BY the Assoeiaisd Press

The White House continued ef-
forts today to avert a possible
Nationwide railroad strike. but
union officials said they are near
the end Of our rope"
Chiefs of two big unions repre-
senting 100000 trainmen and con-
-ductors agreed reluctantly" to 20
back this afternoon for more peace
talks with John R. Steelman, as
sistant to President Truman.
w. P. Kennedy Of the Brother
hood OF Railroad Trainmen, and
. r. o. Hughes of the Order of Rail-
. way Conductors, said they could
-see nothing accomplished at a.
efour-hour meeting with Mr.. Steel
man last night. They said Mr..
SSteelman. however. was optimistic
something could be worked out
today.
: But, said Mr.. Kennedy, unless
: We make some progress, it looks

Continuation Expected.
A spokesman for the railroads
told reporters, contrary to what
( Mr.. Kennedy had said. that prog
resS was being made in the con-
9 ferences. The carrier spokesman
also predicted that meetings will
continue beyond today, despite
union talk of deadline.
Mr.. Kennedy spoke of possible
wildcat strikes, contending that
the members of the two unions are
all upset over this deal" He said
the dispute has gone unsettled now
for II months and the men are
anxious to strike.
The unions are seeking a re-
duction from the present 48-hour
week to a 40-hour week for work
erS in yard service-withou loss
in pay. A presidential board rec
commended the shorter work week
but not as much pay as the unions
desired.

Also, the unions want wage ad-

and conductors on the trains the
same respective pay rates as those
now received by firemen and engi-
neers manning the locomotives.
The same presidential board

quest, saying engineers and fire.
men traditionally have received a
higher rate.
Mr.. Kennedy and Mr.. Hughes
went to the White House last
night intending to see President
Truman personally to tell him
they were through talking with
Mr.. Steelman and to renew a re-
quest that the President seize and
operate the railroad until the dis
pute is settled.
Instead, they saw Mr.. Steelman
again, didn't see President Tru-
man, and didn't renew the seizure
plea they first filed with the
President August 4.
