This is a type of squeeze that
comes up fairly frequently. Miss
Brash was not surprised when the
hand developed as it did. Mr..
Champions opening lead indicated
he held the ace of diamonds. His.
heart overcall showed he was prob
ably the only defender who could
guard the heart suit.
Here is what must happen for a
squeeze play to develop. One de-
fender must find it necessary to
guard two or more suits. He must
have the only guards which his
side has in those suits. You. as
declarer, must have some other
suit casually the trump suit
which you can lead until the key
opponent has to throw away a
guard in one of the suits he is
protecting. 1t is also vital to have
entries between your hand and
dummy.
Here is a simple rule to deter
mine how many cards your oppo
nent must keep in each suit. If his
card is the highest in a suit, he
needs only one card. If he holds
the second highest, he must keep
two cards in the suit, if the third
highest, three cards, and so on.
Applying this to the current deal.
after Mr. Champion led the king
of diamonds he still had the high
est diamond. Therefore he needed
to keep only one card to guard that
suit. After Miss Brash won trick
two with the king of hearts. he had
the second highest heart tthe jack !
So he needed to keep two hearts.
A total of three cards.
Now, Miss Brash could win the
next nine tricks with her black
suits. That would make a total
of II tricks played. leaving every
body with two cards.
But we have already seen that

Donovan Takes Stump
To Boost Eisenhower
BY the Associated Press

INDIANAPOLIS, May 31.-Mai.
Gen. William j. Donovan began a
four-day speaking tour of Indiana
on behalf of Gen. Dwight D. Els
enhoWer today and said:
There are no fundamental diff
ferences in the policies of Eisen-
hover and Taft. But you can be
more sure of Eisenhower licking
the Democrats"
Gen. Donovan, the wild Bill
hero of two world wars and one
time head of the Office Of Strate-
Igic Services, now is a New York
lawyer. He will speak in Anderson
Monday and Marion Tuesday in
Indiana, a State where Senator
Robert A. Taft of Ohio probably
will get most G. o. p. delegate
support for President.
At an Indianapolis news confer
Ience, a reporter told Gen. Donovan
that many Indiana leaders back
ing Senator Taft would be disap-
pointed if Senator Taft and Gen.
Eisenhower stand for the same
things. The reporter said many
Taft hackers believe much foreign

Taft Enters Campaign Windup
Confident HeNGet Nomination

where Gen. Eisenhower made
inroadS.
Despite a gruelling schedule that
has taken him into every section
of the Nation, Senator Taft says
he is not particularly tired and
never felt better. He is putting
everything he has into the fight
for that nomination on the
theory that at 81 he is having his
last crack at it.
Lately, however, the strain of
several months of intensive CAM
paigning sometimes seems to make
itself apparent in the tautness with
which he handles critical questions
on televisionn and radio appear
anceS.
ScOrns Mugwumps.
Essentially Senator Taft's appeal
has been to those who want to
throw the present administration
out of office. He attacks the Dem
ocratic foreign policy, spending
government corruption and just
about everything the Democrats
have done in recent years. He
scorns "mugwumps'- independent
voters who may vote Republican
on occasion-as ''in-and-outers,"
Senator Taft's greatest obstacle
as he sees its the repeated as
sertion of his opponents that he
can't win in November. The Eisen-
hover hackers have repeated this
over and over and it has a definite
appeal to ofice-hungry Republi-
cans. -.~e.n
The Ohio Senator has tried in
just about every way he knows to
convince the Republicans that he
is a winner. He thought his re-
election sweep in Ohio in 1950-by
a margin of more than 431, 900
votes-had sunk that charge but
it has come up again.
If he doesn't get the nomina ton.
he will be likely to lay most of the
blame for his defeat on this line
of attack.

Senator Taft of Ohio begins the
final phase of his campaign this
week. confident he will win the
Republican presidential nomina-
tion if he can hold his own in

II believe we are over the hump

While Gen. Eisenhower is MAX

Taft will switch from stump

effort to- cinch an early ballot

Claim 900 Delegates.
Senator Taft's managers claim
he viii go into the convention
with more than 600 votes, but it
is apparent they regard about 100
of these as somewhat shaky sup
pcrters. They think another 100
who aren't publicly pledged to any
candidate can be convinced they
ought to support the Ohio senator.
A total of GOA votes is needed for
the nomination.
Winding up an intensive speak
ing campaign that has taken him
from coast to coast, Senator Taft
now plans to try out his personal
charm on as many delegates as
possible.
