I don't want to go on record
saying the lead he chose is al
ways desirable. On the other
hand, the defender who always
leads fourth highest from his
longest suit and who always leads
the king from ace-king and the
highest card from a worthless
three-card holding, is going to
have a lot of contracts made
against him which he could have
defeated.
Deception is a part of every
successful defenders game. But
he is careful to use it only when
the chance of deceiving his part
ner is practically nil.
In today's hand Mr.. Dale felt
that the lead of any plain suit
was likely to present declarer
with a trick. He therefore de-
cided to open a trump. The US
ual lead from his trump holding
would be the ten. However, for
whatever value it might be in
giving Mr.. Abel a wrong idea of
the trump distribution, he Sc
lected the nine spot.
The result was devastating. AS
you see, if Mr.. Abel had been
permitted to make the first trump
lead himself, he could hardly
have gone wrong. Undoubtedly
his first trump lead would have
been the trey from the board.
MIR. Meek's play of the king
would have clarified the situa-
ton Immediately and no trump
trick would have been lost.
AS it was, the lead of the nine
of hearts set Mr.. Abel to think
ing. Obviously (to him) Mr.. Dale
did not have the ten-elSe he
would have led it. Almost GER
tainly he didn't have the king
either.
Mr.. Abel placed the king and
ten on his right. Now, suppose
Mr.. Meek also had the deuce. In
that case, if small heart were
played from the board. Mr.. Meek
would play the deuce and the
nine would force the queen. Mr.
Meek would then have left the
king-ten for a sure heart winner.
To guard against that, Mr..
Abel made the safety" play of
the jack from dummy. The king
forced the ace and now Mr.. Dale's
guarded ten spot represented the
eventual setting trick.

Squad Probes Death
+0f Scientist Aide
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Feb. GA spe-
cial squad Of detectives has been
assigned in the mystery death of
an atom scientists clerical aide,
who was found with an ice pick
in his chest but who actually
died of a heart attack.
The body of the victim, James
Doyle, SIS. was found Wednesday
night in a hallway. He appar-
emily had been robbed of two
weeks salary-$112.
An autopsy yesterday disclosed
that the ice pick wound was
superficial. A medical examiner
said death was due to a heart
attack, possibly induced by the
stabbing.
Mr.. Doyle was a $250-a-month
clerk and messenger in the Office
Of John B. Dunning, dean of
engineering at Columbia Univer-
sity and member of the Nations
first atomic A-bomb team.
Mr.. Doyle also recently started
a part-time night job with the
Reuben H. Donnelley Co., an ad-
Yertising firm.
Although discounting the theory
that Mr.. Doyle's death was con-
nected with his work with Dr.,
Dunning at Columbia. authorities
were overlooking no possibilities.
He lived with his wife and
sons. James, jr.. IA, and Edward,
8. in a four-room apartment in

FBI Asks Public
To Keep Children

The Federal Bureau of Inves-

The plea came as the FBI re-
ported its investigation into a
series Of recent railroad acci-
dents or near-accidents had been
traced to juveniles in many cases.
The inquiry into the mishaps
started when a runaway train
crashed into Union Station here
January Is, injuring more than
so persons. That accident still
is under investigation, but there
is no evidence that children were
involved.
In other cases, however, acci-
dents have been traced to young
sters, the FBI said.

| Truman Reviews
| His Political Career al
Homecoming Dinner
BY the Associated Press

INDEPENDENCE, Mo-, Feb. 6.
Harry s. Truman. who spent
nearly eight experience-packed
years as President. choked with
emotion last night at the end Of
a talk to a home town audience
and said:
There never is and never can
be anything like coming back
home"
The former President spoke at
a family-style homecoming din
ner attended by $50 neighbors
and friends.
Mr.. Truman expressed thanks
for the warmth with which he
had been received since his re-
turn.
Reviews Political Life.
Until his concluding remark,
the ex-President had devoted
most of his brief talk to a folksy
review Of his 80 years in politics
and early life in this western
Missouri town Of 10000.
He mentioned his decision,
which was announced in March
Of 1852, not to seek reelection.
MY mind was made up in
1885," he said. II don't believe
there has been any President or
presidential candidate, outside Of
Lincoln, that has been as thor
oughly vilif1ed as I have. But I
came through it all without any
scars"
The 68-year-old former Presi-
dent said that on his train trip
home last month after turning
over the Presidency on January
20 to Republican Dwight D..
Eisenhower he and Mrs. Tru-
man were surprised at the size
and good will of the crowds
along the way.
"The people turned out to greet
us enthusiastically as if I had
been on a whistle stop tour" he
recalled. "And then when we
got here at the Missouri Pacific
depot there were 5000 or 10000
people to meet us. That was the
climax.
Il want to tell you. no ex-
President ever had a homecom-
ing reception like that"
Refers to 1948 Campaign.
Mr.. Truman also referred to
his 1948 presidential campaign
when he defeated Thomas
Dewey, the New York Governor.
Some one thought they could
do a better job than ! could" he
said. II don't have a doubt in
the world that those who were
telling the people they could do a
job better than we were might
have been telling the truth. The
only trouble was they never got
the chance"
Mr.. Truman and the Truman's S
daughter, Margaret, also were
honored at the dinner.
The ex-President's remarks
were broadcast nationally (ABC)
Mr.. Truman, in mentioning his
return to independence last
month after nearly eight turbu-
lent years in the White House,
said Mrs. Truman expressed his
feelings as well as any one could
She said of their welcome home
This is the payof. This makes
it worth everything we have been
