Opening lead, jack of diamonds.
Putting an ace to bed ranks high
among the fln-producers at the
bridge table. It is natural, there
fore, that having an ace shut out
should be source of deep humilia-
ton to the victim. Yet the delib-
crate sacrifice of an ace may occa-
sionally result in a net gain by
returning two tricks for the one
that was given up. Today's hand
records such a gambit.
South chose to open with a bid
Of one heart, though our own pref
erence would have been for a bid
of one no-trump 1t will be noted
that on hands such as this, where
a no-trump opening is selected, If
partner raises to two no-trump,
opener should then bid three
hearts, giving responder the choice
of four hearts or three no-trump
as final contract.
West opened the jack of dia-
monds. Had he chosen to lead a
club, there would have been no
story to tell, for it would have re-
suited in an automatic set of one
trick. With the appearance of the
singleton in dummy, many players
would have rushed in to cash the
ace, but East engaged in a bit of
calculation. Declarer's refusal to
quit after a single raise marks him
to a certainty with the ace. of
clubs as the only possible stopper
In that suit. He is known to have
only one trick In hearts, and, allow
ing him one of the high spades, 1t
is almost certainty that he has
the king and queen of diamonds.
theoretically, declarer could have
three diamonds to the queen and
two high spades, but such holding
is unlikely for that would give
West the K-J-10 of diamonds, in
which case he would probably have
chosen some other suit to lead up
to the original no-trump bidder.
If East takes the ace of dia-
monds, two of dunny's losing clubs
will be discarded. So East sacri-
feed his ace of diamonds and
played to pick up two spade tricks
and two clubs. Declarer won and
ruffed a diamond in dummy, re-
entered his hand with a trump,
and ruffed the remaining diamond.
The last trump was drawn, fol-
lowed by the ace and another club.
East won and led the seven of
spades Git was important not to
cash the high club, declarer played
small and the nine forced the
queen. The defense could not be
prevented from winning two spade
tricks. Note If East had cashed his
second high club before returning
the spade, declarer could win the
hand by going up with the king
Of spades, This would leave West
in a helpless position. for, after
winning with the ace, he would
have no safe return.

Mr.. Zuleta-Angel said the 400

it available to the United Nations

The delay in getting the battal-

Chinese Surprised
By War Toll, peiping
Visitor Reports
BY the Associated Press

NEW DELHI. India, Feb. IT,
Large casualties in Korea are caus-
ing concern to Red China's lead
ers, British correspondent re-
ported today after a visit to Peip-
ing.
Arthur Moore. correspondent for
the Hindustan Times. wrote that
Manchurian hospital facilities
have been unable to care for the
wounded, and that the war has
drained Peiping and Tientsin OF
their gasoline supply.
"The war in Korea, though
waged on a very limited scale, is
already somewhat of a surprise to
the Chinese" Mr.. Moore reported.
Manchurian Hospitals damned.
Casualties are much greater
than they anticipated. Hospitals
in Manchuria are unequal to the
influx. Hospitals in Peiping are
heavily denuded of their nursing
staffs as they have gone to the
front.
Though Chinese manpower
may be inexhaustible, new China S
statesmen are not inhumanly in
different to the sacrifice of their
soldiers.
THE gasoline problem is the
major one. Peiping and Tientsin
are gasoline dry. In Peiping only
top service military trucks and
the diplomatic corps get gas. In
both cities there are stray char
coal taxis and buses. but men
harnessed with ropes, ponies, DON
keys and oxen do all the haulage. "
Veteran British Journalist.
Mr.. Moore is one of the oldest
British journalists in India. He is
believed to be the only non Com
newspaper correspondent
allowed to enter Peiping since
the Chinese intervention in Korea.
He sailed to Tientsin from India
without prior Communist permis-
sion and, with the backing of the
Indian ambassador, was permitted
to go on to Peiping. He wrote his
datelined "At sea off the
China coast" after his departure.
He said Chinese-Soviet relations
were still consistently cordial" !"
The recent Soviet announcement
that dismantled Manchurian fac
tories and the Manchurian rail-
road were being returned to China
well ahead Of the requirements Of

called an almost astronomical in

Ground troops and air power
are swiftly mobile, ready to shift

With the Korean war in an
indecisive stage, U. N. forces are
concerned only with inflictihg the

he will base his testimony before

to let Congress pass on an inter-
