BY The Assoeiuted Press

Senator Duff, Republican, OF
Pennsylvania says the death OF
Senator Taft means that Presi-

exert more direct leadership In
the Senate.
Senator Dun said IN an MBS
broadcast last night that he
doesn't think any one III the Re-

shoes" of the late Senate ma
jority leader.
"I think very positively that
his death means the President
will have to take q stronger di-
rect hand" he said.
"Where he has taken such ac-
ton in the past his leadership
has been very effective.
Senator Duff praised Senator
Knowland, Republican, of Cali
fornia for the manner in which
he has exercised authority as
Senator Taft's successor.
But / don't think he'd claim
himself that he's in a position to-
day to fill Senator Taft's shoes, ~

He was a pioneer in the field

were very much like lightning.
Born a hunchback, he refused

He worked against all odds, and

1t practically never pays to put
m a double in this situation,
based on nothing but a lot of
cards in the opponents suit.
THE only thing you accomplish
Is to warn the enemy the partic-
Olar suit is stacked against them
and to drive them into a better
spot. Or, even worse, your part
I1er may double another suit pre-
maturely counting on you, rea-
sonably enough, for some general
defensive strength.
Miss Brash felt if her partner
could make an overcall at the
two level, she would have some
kind of play for game at spades.
Mr.. Meek had very tough time
deciding on an opening lead and
finally laid down the ace of clubs.
He then made a good shift to
the king of diamonds, hoping he
was driving out dummy's only
entry. If he could accomplish
this while he still had some
trumps in his hand, Miss, Brash
could not stuff losers on the king
and queen of clubs.
This was a very good shot and
If Miss Brash had won with the
ace of diamonds she would have
lost her contract. In dummy for
the last time, she would have had
to try to discard a loser on the
king of clubs.
She could have got rid of
loser all right, say a small dia-
mond. but Mr.. Meek would have
ruffed andfled another diamond
to Miss BraSh's blank queen.
Eventually, the defenders would
have won two heart tricks for
down one.
But Miss Brash did not win the
first diamond trick. Mr.. Meek
continued with his last diamond
and she won that in her hand
with the queen. Then she picked
up the trumpS, entered dummy
with the ace of diamonds and
cashed the two high clubs. Thus,
she lost only a heart, a diamond
and a club.
Instead of blindly following
the old axiom. "An ace is best
used to kill a king" she used her
only entry to the board at time
that suited her convenience
not the enemy's.
