It is waste of time to search for
conventional means Of showing how
big your hand is by. your opening
bid. There's no hurry about giving
that information. Sometimes, as in
today's deal, partner does not know
how strong you are even after you
have made two bids.

Give Mr.. Champion the same dis
tribution he has, but hand so
powerful that king and a queen
in Mrs. Keen's hand would give a
good play for game. Then his first
rebid would have been two hearts.
Mrs. Keen would have known
that he had a very big hand. But,
Of course, Mr.. Champion was not
nearly that strong. The best he
could do was to. rebid one heart.
When he did so, Mrs. Keen still did
not know whether her partners
hand was an absolute minimum
or whether it was just short of
enough for jump shift.
Cross Ruffs.
Actually, she did not need to
know. She bid the full strength
of her hand and left the rest up
to Mr.. Champion. He went on to
game at hearts and Mr.. Abel led
the four of spades. Mr.. Dale put
up the king and the ace won.
It looked like the best bet was
to try a cross-ruff. So Mr.. Cham
pion led a diamond to dummy's ace
and ruffed a diamond. Then he
caShed the ace of clubs and ruffed
q club. He ruffed another diamond
and now knew that one of his op-
ponents was out of that suit.
Makes 1t.
He ruffed another club in dummy
and returned another diamond.
When Mr.. Dale followed, it was
clear that Mr.. Abel was out. Un-
able to risk an over-ruh at this
point, Mr.. Champion trumped with
the king of hearts. He then ruffed
another club with dummy's ace Of
hearts.
The dummy's last diamond was led
and ruffed with the ten of hearts.
Mr.. Abel over-ruffed with the
queen, but dummy's jack was now
good for the ame-going trick.

A young and aspiring comedian
came to town back in mid-April
of 1947. He had a date to play a
week at Paul Young's Romany
Room, which now lies sadly fall
low above the Roumanian Inn
Since the young man was not
too we'll knoWn-he' d been a pro-
fesSional entertainer for only ID
months or so-Mr. Young hao
a small party to introduce him tc
the press.
In one case this was not a first
meeting. The young comic hao
been here several months pre-
viously, in connection with his
first movie, and the reunion was
anticipated with pleasure. On that
earlier visit he had been an en-
tertaining luncheon companion
modest and with none of the
brashneSs that too often marks
those of his trade.
He proved to be the same or
this second visit, even after those
months in Hollywood and with
another picture under his belt
He was in the process of making
some changes in his life, however
Hollywood. he felt. hadn't made
the best of his particular talent
and he was staying away from
there for awhile. He also was
through with trying to do all OF
his own material.
He introduced a quiet, greying
unaSsuming man with whom ht
had become associated. This man
the young comedian said, was
brilliant comedy writer and full Of
ideas. He intimated that he haC
pretty much placed his fate in the
hands of his new associate. They
had Broadway musical possibility
and also had some ideas for tele-
vision.
This reminiscence is prompted
by another item of evidence thai

This award-winning has become
a habit with Caesar and Lehman

portant member of their highly
successful TV enterprise. Miss
Cocas affinity for Caesar and
Lehman (and vice versa) is no
surprise to any one who knew her
before television. She also spent
some time here as a bistro enter
tainer and proved to be modest,
genuinely pleased with any praise
of her work and vastly talented
comedienne.

and demonstrated that Lehman

it cost more than any sponsor

ored, in fact, as television's best
actor and actress as we'll as for
comedy.
In view of Caesars subsequent
success, incidentally, it is good tC
look on that 1947 estimate of him
He was termed "the funniest en-
tertainer to hit the towns night

was called "one of the happiest

ANNAPOLIS, May 23.-The f.
nal steel span in the Chesapeake
Bay Bridge was fitted into place
today.
Paving of the four-mile stretch
from Sandy Point to Kent Island
on the Eastern Shore, which is
well under way, will be completed
sometime in August. A definite
date for opening the bridge for
traffic has not yet been set.
The final truss span, $50 feet
long and 40 feet deep. was suc-
cessfully towed to its place on the
far side Of the suspension bridge
towers and hoisted into position.
Flag Flutters Atop Span.
In keeping with an old tradition
in the construction of a major
bridge, the American flag futtered
from the top of the span as it
was raised.
The flag had been raised prior
to the towing operation by Mrs.
John H. Wagner of Bethlehem,
Pa, wife of a Bethlehem Steel
Co. general manager. The COM
pany supplied the $4,000 tons of
steel that went into the bridge.
The final span was the first to
be fabricated. It was used as the
workbench, or falseWork. on

which all the other major spans
were constructed.
Each span was built on it and
then both were towed on barges
into position. The operation is
basically simple but a very deli
cate one to carry out. Wind and
tide have to be reckoned with. Two
barges weighted with water bal
last are towed under each end of
the workbench" Then the water
is pumped from them lifting the
entire structure from the piles.
The barges then are towed to
the bridge.
Last December an unexpected
high wind arose during one of
these operations and the barges
with the tall steel structure bal
anced precariously on them, were
blown across the bay until they
beached on the Eastern Shore.
Todays operation was carried
out without untoward incident.
The $44 million structure was
begun in wintry weather in Feb
ruary, 1850. It modified the larg-
est aggregation of marine equip
ment. dredges. derricks, pile driv-
ers, etc. ever assembled in the
East. 1t was more than a year

ARMED ROBBER
GETS $500 FROM
VARSITY MAID
Stick-Up Occurs About II o.
Clock Last Night-Search
Continues

An armed robbery occurred at the
Varsity Maid last night about II
O'clock the robber succeeding in OBJ
tanning $78 in cash He fled on foot
after trying unsuccessfully to force
Bill Landon, taxi driver, to take him
to an unknown destination in the taxi.
He was tracked to Monte Vista
road, near the Youghiogheny river
bridge where his trail was lost, and
an all night search failed to reveal
any additional information.
In the establishment at the time
of the robbery were Barbara Kim
nell and Pauline Murphy who handed
over the cash when ordered to do so
by the unknown person. According to
Emil German, proprietor, the man
had arrived in Oakland by bus on
Tuesday morning. He registered at
the Manhattan hotel and reappeared
again at the Varsity Maid last eve
ming, and hung around there for
several hours. He had a suitcase
which he left in one of the taxis.
The man, identifie as Richard Cline,
of VindeX, was arrested about 1 80
this morning at NindeX, by Sheriff
Paul Fisher and Trooper Robert Hen
line, according TO w. Dwight Slower.
The money and gun were recovered.
The man was AWOL from the Army.
There were a number of high school
students in the place a short time be-
fore, having returned from a basket
ball game at Aurora. German con-
tinued to relate that he sauntered
outside about II o'clock, got the gun
out of his suitcase and staged the
hold-up. When he came out on Second
street he ordered Landon to get in
the taxi but Landon refused and
walked inside the building. The rob-
Der then fired Il shot toward the
ground, near the feet of Tom Hutch
inson and Timmey Ssler, two high
school students standing outside He
then fled south on Second street.
German said gun holster and
large knife were found in the suit
case along with some articles of
clothing. Sheriff Paul w. Fisher,
Deputy Ed. Frantz and Trooper Rob-
ert Henline then entered the search
which kept up most of the night. The
officers were confident that the man
could be identified by serial number
on the robbers trousers found in the
suitcase.
NuWay Entered
The NuWay laundry also was en-
tered last night but apparently those
involved were scared away. There
was nothing missing as far as could
be learned. Last Friday, however,
robber or robbers entered the laun-
dry and broke open Coke machine,
obtaining a quantity of nickels. They
also took from the cash drawer a pile
of pennies.

Two Men Seriously
Injured In Wreck

Two men were seriously injured and
two other persons badly bruised when
the automobile in which they were
riding early Tuesday morning
smashed into tree on the Sunny
side turn on route 219, south of Oak
land.
Hospitalized in the Garrett County
Memorial hospital, are Gene Schultz,
90 and Jerry Staten, 81, both of
Frederick. Schultz suffered broken
left leg and mangled right hand.
Staten suffered broken left arm, a
broken right arm, both below the ell
bow, and broken right leg. His con-
dition was reported as critical ycster-
day, due to possible internal injuries,
but it was reported from the hospital
this morning that he was improving.
Less seriously injured were c. Bow
den, also of Frederick, and Clara Su-
kow, of Oakland.
Two of the men are with a crew Of
tree experts engaged in clearing right
of ways for the c. and P. Telephone
company and have been in Oakland
for several months. Bowden is
supervisor for the telephone company.
According to Charles Schultz,
brother of one of those involved in
the wreck, the 1912 Buick automobile
was headed for route so when the ac-
cident occurred. He said the occu-
pants were pinned in the automobile
and that fo truck drivers failed to
stop to render assistance. Three
youths in icep finally came by and
offered to help. They secured an am
bulancc and wrccker, but it was at
least three hours before Schultz and
Staten were admitted to the hospital.
They had been held beneath the dash
board which had been pushed against
them and the front seat. The automo-
bile was badly damaged but is covered
by insurance.

Almost 500 Persons
Pledge Blood Donation

That the results of the February
Pledge week in the blood donor pro-
gram in Oakland and vicinity have
been successful, was announced this
week by M/Sgt. George F. Kirby,
chairman of the recruiting end of it.
He said many people had shown a
willingness to donate blood as we'll as
to serve in other ways. The last fig
ure available was that 496 had
pledged to donate blood. The town was
completely covered by volunteer can
vassers.
1t was announced that each person
signing their blood pledge card would
be contacted about a specified APP
pointment and scheduled for appear
ance at a specified time. Those not
called for February 81 will be called
in April or June, according to the
quota. There was a certainty that the
county would meet its February quota
of $50 pints of blood and Kirby said
the committee hoped to continue to
meet this quota.
Other communities in the county,
such as Accident, Friendsville, Grants
vile, Kitzmiller, Swanton, Deer Park,
Mt. Lake Park, Crellin, and others,
are to be contacted later when
weather will permit better travel to
Oakland. Transportation will be ar
ranged to bring these people to Oak
land and return them to their homes.
Special dates will be arranged through
community canvassers.
The blood mobile unit will visit Oak
land on Wednesday, February 81
and will be located at the new fire
house, Third street, Oakland, from 10
a. m. until p. m. After February 81
the hours are to be changed to make
it possible for those who work until
after 5 p. m. to give their blood
