Opening lead: Ten of spades.
When to take an ace Is problem
that frequently causes deep concern
to experienced players as well as
those that may be classified as
tyroS. While it is true that the place
for the ace is normally on the king,
nevertheless, there are times when
1t is improper to take your ace too
soon. This is especially apt to be
true at no-trump where the dummy
holds a long suit with no side en-
tries and an effort is being made
by the declarer to shut out the run
of that suit. It is instructive with
most players to wait until the third
round. This is a hit-or-miss method
and some more specific guide should
be employed. The idea is to wait
until the declarer has no more of
the suit, whether it be the first,
second or third round.
Failure by East to take his ace
at exactly the right time enabled
the opposition to run off with an
unmakable game contract at no
trump. South opened with one club
and when partner responded with
one diamond, he was hard put for
a satisfactory rebid. While it is
unorthodoX to jump to two no.
trump with an unguarded suit, I do
not think his bid can be severely
criticized in view of the compensat-
ing features of the partial diamond
fit and the solidity of the club suit
After all South has 20 points in
high cards, one more than the min
imum required for a jump rebid to
two no-trump, and he has partial
stopper in spades.
West led the ten of spades, which
East won with the king and re-
turned the suit. Declarer held up
until the third round and played
the five Of diamonds, the queen
winning. West followed with the
deuce. The six of diamonds was
then led and West followed with
the four. Dummy played the nine
and East ducked again. That was
enough for the declarer, who
promptly ratified off nine tricks. Had
East taken the second diamond,
South would have been held to
total of only eight tricks. "I was
afraid that South might have three
diamonds" was East's contention.
If we assume that West was play
ing according to modern conven-
tionS, East should have known to
certainty that declarer held only
two diamonds. When dummy holds
long suit which the defense is try
ing to shut out, the partner of the
one who holds the stopper must
indicate by his diScards the number
he has. If he plays up first the
two and then the four), as West
did, 1t indicates that he has three
cards of the suit. If he holds two
or four cards, he should discard in
the reverse. That is, first high
and then a low.

Opening lead, five of spades.
While the study of percentage
plays is fascinating to large num-
ber of bridge enthusiasts, there ale
a great many others who find these
discussions not at all to their tastes.
There is something coldly imper-
sonal about an arithmetical table.
But, If in the pursuit of the best
mathematical chance a player is
able at the same time to make
allowance for q possible error ny
the defense, he is dealing with the
human factor, which it seems to
me has universal appeal.
Today's South fulfilled his slam
contract by playing for what he
considered the most probable ad-
verse holding, with the added
chance that If the holding proved
unfavorable the defense might not
rise to the occasion.
West led the five of spades, which
declarer ruffed in dummy, and
cleared the trumps in two rounds.
Everything centered on his losing
only one club trick. The textbook
play with such a holding is to
finesse the eight of clubs in the
hope that West holds the ten and
the remaining two honors are di-
vided. That would unquestionably
be the best play If clubs were trump
or no discard were available for
one Of the clubs. But since one of
them can be shed on the queen of
hearts, another problem was pre-
sented. Declarer felt he had a bet
ter chance to find the king or queen
Of clubs singly guarded in either
hand, In which case strip play
could be effected.
His first play after drawing
trumps was club to the ace. Both
opponents played low. The three
high hearts were cashed, South dis
carding club. The remaining heart
and spade were cross-ruffed and
then declarer led low club toward
dummy. Vests queen held the trick
but there was no continuation he
could make which would not per-
NIT South to discard his losing club.
It will be observed that if West
had unloaded the queen at trick
four as declarer led a low club
toward dummy, he would have
defeated the contract. But that
would hardly have been the recon-
mended play, since 80 far as West
could tell, the success of the hand
might depend upon declarer's ablI-
ity to guess the location of that
card. But If declarer had first
stripped the hand and then led
the club, West might have been
able to divine the scheme in time

According to Lucien M. Turner,
northern shrikes are fairly common
all along the coast of Labrador. A
bulky nest, anchored in the trees
from to IL feet from the ground,
is made of twigs, grass, rags and
deer hair. 1t holds four to six
eggs. Incubation begins when the
last egg of the clutch is laid. Thus
all the babies arrive about the

Northern Shrikes or Butcher birds

Butcher birds were the first
Americans to have meat stalls. They
are the dreaded ogres among the

birds sense a killer is after them.
When the shrike drops down among
them, screams and great confusion
greet him. The butcher, who has
been watching them, has had his
eye on one special one When he
appears among the flock he selects
his target, rising among the screams

Washington Shows Alarm Over
Hastie's Uncemfirmed Appointment
By Albert Anderson

By Albert Anderson
WASHINGTON (ANP)- With
Congress set to adjourn in another

alarmed over the continued STALL

members of the judiciary commit

The Senate Judiciary committee
began private hearing on the
HASTE nomination on June II.
Donnell and Eastland, it was learn

to block final action before Cong

will be scheduled after July 4.
HASTE was nominated by Presi-

however, he must be confirmed by

When Hasie,s nomination first
came before the Committee last
April, Sen. Donnell and Sen. East
land charged that HASTE had in
years past been affiliated with
left-wing organizations. These
same charges had been made by
Sen. Eastland in 1916 when Hast

ofthe Virgin Islands. At that time

threw the charges out as having
no basis in fact. The present secret

Another source of alarm is
found in the fact that the Senate
confirmed on June 81 the nomin-

HASTE is sitting. Staley's nomin-
alton was sent to the Senate six
months after the HASTE nomina-
