Latest scoop from New York
is that Hugo Gouthier. for
mer Brazilian diplomat here,
is up in Manhattan awaiting
the arrival of his bride -to-be.
On his way to his new post as
Minister to Iran, Hugo left her
behind in Rio with the greatest
reluctance, got as far as New
York and decided to propose
again by cable. He's been in
love with a lovely, distinguished
Brazilian girl for the past eight
months, insists on taking her to
Teheran as his bride. The young
lady's return cable didn't say
yes; her parents were dead
against her going so far away.
Whereupon Hugo got on the
telephone and for one hour
pleaded his cause over the wires
from New York to Rio de ia
neiro. According to the grape
vine he won and she and her
father are due to arrive in Man
haitian on Friday with the mar
riage set for Tuesday. and their
sailing scheduled for the fol-
lowing week.

gave an official-studded, black
tie dinner at the 1925 F Street
Club Monday night and all
three hostesses arrived after
their guests. Such are the ex-
igencies Of the deadline busi-
ness.
Some interesting observations
evolved from this party which
was in honor of DR.. William
Menninger. noted psychiatrist,
and his wife, and drew, among
others, Senators Sparkman,
Hill, Knowland and Moody and
their respective wives. On the
political side. for instance, the
senator's were saying that they
thought Vice President Bark
ley would declare himself avail
able for the presidential nomi-
nation this week, and there was
some talk that either Senator
Hill or Sparkman had a good
chance of getting second place
on the Democratic ticket in
July.
All Of them Joined in some
strong harmony when DR.. Men
ninger played the piano after
dinner. They were further en-
tertained by young, pretty Pat
Searles. who works at the Office
of Civil Defense, has five young
children, and sings and plays
the guitar dreamily. Speaking
of something dreamy, Blair
Moody's wife looked so pretty
in q cloud Of white tulle that
the Senator, who is in the
throes Of a campaign, admitted
she's his best political asset.
A couple Of other campaigning
gentlemen have the same idea;
presidential aspirants Estes Ke-
fauver and Robert Kerr take
their wives everywhere with
them and show them off.

Mr.. New has many things to
learn and this is one of them. Mr..
Abels bid was correct even though
he had only a queen and jack.
It was correct because he had a
fairly respectable five-card suit and
because he bid the ''next" suit over
Miss Brash's spade bid.
In other words, If he had held
the same weak hand, but with a.
five-card heart or diamond suit,
1t would not have been proper to-
bid either of those suits. The rea-
son is that such a bid would have
''cut out" one bid which Mrs. Keen
might have wanted to make
namely, two clubs.
Mr.. Abel's two-club call cut out
nothing. Mrs. Keen could either
accept clubs as trump or she could
bid any other suit at the two range.
Miss Brash had to play well to
bring home her four-spade contract.
Mrs. Keen opened the king Of
hearts, which was permitted to win,
Mr.. Abel playing the deuce.
Mr.. Abel was not starting high
low and therefore apparently did
not have a doubleton. If his
deuce were a singleton then Mrs.
Keen had started with seven
hearts, a suit she had not bid.
Very unlikely. So Miss Brash de-
cided to play Mr.. Abel for at least
three hearts.
She ducked the second heart
lead also. then won the third one
with dummy's ace and discarded a.
diamond from her hand.
She extracted trumpS, then cashed
two top diamonds and ruffed a
third diamond. When the suit
broke 3-3, she had parking place
for the deuce of clubs.
If the diamonds had not broken
she always could have led up to
her king of clubs as last resort.
AS you see, that would have cost
her the contract. AS it was, she
lost only two heart tricks and a
club.

Teacher Pay Bill

Gov. McKeldin last Thursday night
vetoed for the second time legislation
to raise school teachers pay. The
bill passed by the 1852 legislature
provided an increase of $500 in state

He declared the salary increase was
primarily the responsibility of the
counties. He also vetoed the bill to
accelerate automatic annual raises by
$3.50 for II years instead of the
present 500 for 16 years.

new laws last Friday but put off
other decisions.
McKeldin signed measures pinning
