William Wellman has done an
amazingly perceptive job of wiring
ing drama from the character and
relationships Of the men involved.
Wherever possible. he has sought
for the comedy color, and a dozen
incidents in Pirosh's script have
provided him opportunity for this
accent.
He has caught this flavor best

closer to be matched by a number

The point all this underscores
is that the American soldier is as
uncomfortable in his good nature
and his dreams as he is in actual
battle. Wellman develops 1t well
within a frame work that is never
allowed to become artificial.

Opening lead: King of clubs.
The fear of leading from kings is
the bridge worlds foremost bogey
man. 1t is simple reasoning that a
lead away from king will be disas-
trous only when the opposition
holds both the ace and the queen
of the suit. If partner holds one
OF them, the chances are that
nothing will be lost by the lead.
When, however, it becomes evident
that there Is no other suit in which
the defense can expect to gather
any tricks, it becomes not merely
desirable, but imperative to attack
that particular suit, especially when
1t appears that a discard is avail
able to declarer.
In today's hand South reached a
contract of four hearts on what
may be regarded as normal bidding.
After his previous signoff and
North's strength-showing bid of two
no-trump, South was justified in
trying for game.
West led the king of CLUBS and
declarer wisely permitted him to
hold the trick. 1t is Vests con-
tinuation at this point that makes
or breaks the hand. Without ac-
tually peeking, what should West
lead?
Since the first club lead could
comfortably have been taken, it is
clear that declarer is trying to
obtain a discard on the jack of
clubs. But what does he wish to
discard? Is it a diamond or spade?
All the evidence points toward
spade.
In the first place it is probable
that South has several diamonds
and that one discard will not be
enough for his purposes. In the
second place it is moral certainty
that South has the ace of diamonds
to justify his opening bid and sub
sequent leap to four hearts. Thirdly,
spades were never supported, so that
1t is not very probable that de-
clarer has anything important in
that suit. The spade continuation
by West at trick two Is therefore
indicated, despite the fact that he
holds the king.
The actual West made the lazy
lead of the jack of diamonds, which
declarer won in his own hand and
took the immediate club f1nesse in
order to discard a spade before the
opposition changed its mind about
the defense.

Uncle Rays Corner

Lookout Mountain stands in
Southeastern Tennessee, and has
been famous for a long time. It
played a part in a battle of the
Civil War.
To get to the top, I boarded a
cable car. Many persons go up the
mountain by driving on winding
roads, but I chose to get aboard one
of the cars which make regular
trips up and down. These cars be-
long to what is described as "the
steepest and safest railway in the
world"
1t was quite a climb. Within a
minute or two I was ready to agree
that it might we'll be the steepest
of all railways, but I began to won
der about the safety claim.
I asked: why is this called the
safest railway in the world?"
The conductor cleared his throat
and said loudly enough for every
one in the car to hear:
Because it has been running for
55 years without any one being
killed, injured or scared to death" !"
Then he added, with a chuckle:
IF any one is killed on this trip,
he can have his money back!"
A general laugh arose from the
passengers, including myself. Dur

ing the rest of the ride, I contented
myself with thinking of what a re-
markable roller coaster line could
be made at this place. Starting at
a height of about 1000 feet, the
coaster could go over track mile
long. OF course, the coaster would
need special safety devices, but
what thrill 1t would supply to
customers.
At about that point in my think
ing I reached the top. I asked a
Government official about the
statement that seven States could
be seen from Lookout Mountain.
THAT claim was made in one of
Ripley's cartoons" he replied, "but
| it never has been confirmed by the
Government. Three States can be
viewed today, and there are times
when a fourth can be seen. The
other three States mentioned in
the claim are from 1875 to $50 miles
distant, and are out of sight so far
as official observations CO."
From the top of the mountain
I did see three States-Tennessee,
Georgia and Alabama.
