shorten your trump suit by fore

to consider the gimmick known
as reversing the dummy.

The bidding:
South West North East
l d'ond l heart 2d'onds Pass
2spades Pass 3d'ondS Pass
6d'onds All pass
Briefly, this means you will try
to set up the dummy rather than
your own hand. Ruff as many
tricks as possible in your own
hand, shortening your trump
holding to less than the number
Of trumps on the board.
Eventually, you plan to use
dummy'S trumps to do the ma ior
part of the job of picking up the
trumps held by the enemy.
In today'S deal, Mr.. Muzzy got
into the reasonable final contract
of five diamonds and Mr.. Dale
led the king of hearts. Mr.. Muzzy
ruffed and it appeared to him
that he was in a very fine spot.
All he had to lose was a couple
Of club tricks.
He took three quick rounds of
trumps, then led the ace and
another club. Mr.. Dale won the
second club with the queen and
returned a high heart. Mr..
Muzzy ruffed again and was
somewhat surprised to note that
this took his last trump.
If he had led another club at
this point. Mr.. Dale could cash
all of his remaining hearts.
Sadly, Mr.. Muzzy played his four
good spades, but had to concede
the last two tricks for down one.
OF course, he should have fore
seen this result and handled the
play differently from the start.
He could have made the hand
easily as follows:
At trick two, lead the ace of
clubs and then a small club. Mr..
Dale would win and return a
heart. Ruff for the third time.
Now lead the king of diamonds
and follow with your last dia-
mond, the queen. Overtake in
dummy with the ace. Cash the
eight of diamonds, picking up
the last outstanding trump. The
rest of the hand would now be
good.

Project Head Tells
 Of EkIuina Progress

While speaking at the Anchor age Chamber of Commerce meet ing this week, L. M. Wylie, pro- ject engineer on the Eklutna Pro- ject, told his listners that power from the Eklutna hydro-electric plant will begin turning the wheels of local homes and in- dustry late in 1854.
 He said the first generator is scheduled to "go on the line" in July of 1854, but that contractors are now about three months be- hind schedule. Some of the lost time may be made up, he said, if work continues at the present rate and if materials arrive on time. Bad ground and large water flows in the north side of the mountain caused construction delays.
 All dredging is complete now, Wylie said, and two joints of the nine-foot concrete pipe have been laid. Work on the intake is ex- pected to be completed by mid July.
 Work on the lake side toward the mountain has gone in about one mile without difficulty, he said, but forWarned that water might be encountered at a large earth fault crew members are now approaching.
 "A large flow of water on this side will force us to shut down work, as it would not be economi- cal to pump large amounts of water" he said.
 The penstock tunnel leading from the man tunnel to the power plant has been excavated and steel reinforcing is expected to be installed by this September, he added.
 In addition to plant construc- tion, work has been progressing on the installation of transmits sion lines, Wylie announced, point ing out the Eklutna-Palmer line and substation, put into use this past December and the Eklutna- Anhorage line which is expected to be completed soon.. When this line is completed, it will be tied into the Palmer line, enabling Anchorage power plants to feed juice into this area.
