In deciding whether to make a
lump shift after partners open
ing, it is not enough to consider
your hand alone. In addition you
should visualize the entire rs
cards in the partnership as a
unit and try to figure out how
good a hand" that is.
Actually, Mr.. Masters could
could not be sure his side had
a game in today's deal. With his
hand, it was necessary to do
some investigating. 1t was vital
to find out if Miss Brash could
freely raise diamonds or clubs. or
if she could rebid hearts strongly
enough to indicate a near-Solid
suit of six cards or more.
Note that it was not necessary
to jump the bidding at any time
in order to get this information.
Mr.. Masters two-diamond bid
was forcing for one round. So
was his three-club bid. In fact,
any bid in a new suit by the
responding hand is forcing for
one round-unlesS, of course. the
responder has previously passed
or bid one no-trump.
Mr.. Masters passed his part
ner's three-no-trump bid reluc-
tantly. However, he considered
the fact that his partner was
Miss Brash. and he thought there
should be a good play for nine
tricks. Apparently the hand was
not a good fit and one more bid
by him might well encourage
Miss Brash to go overheard.
The king of spades was opened
and after looking the hand over
Miss Brash couldn't tell whether
to go after her ninth trick by
driving out the ace of clubs or
by taking the heart f1nesse.
She decided to defer this de-
cision by conceding the first
three spade tricks to Mr.. Dale.
Her problem was then solved for
her when Mr.. Dale, with no pos
sible entry outside of spades. saw
there was no use continuing the
suit and shifted to a club. Mr..
Champion killed dummy's queen
of clubs with the ace but then
Miss Brash had the rest of the
tricks.

Protestant Weekly
Lauds Prelate For
Segregation Stand

CHICAGO-tNC)-The Christian
Century, 'unden ominati onal
Protestant weekly, paid tribute TO
Archbishop Joseph F, Rummel of
New Orleans for his strong stand
against race segregation.
The magazine noted in its cur
rent issue that "Catholic opposition
to race segregation in the South
is sometimes minimized by Protest
ants ON the ground that there are
so few Roman Catholics involved
that it requires no courage from
their clergy to stand against the
local mores." Then it declared:
But New Orleans is one of the
most Catholic cities in the nation,
and the Archbishop there has been
unyielding in his insistence on
abandonment of segregation. Late
in October, Catholic Action of the
South, the official paper in the
archdiocese, urged Louisiana voters
to defeat a proposed amendment
to the State constitution which

Polish Priests
Whereabouts
Still Mystery

LONDON - (NC) ~ Father
Henry Borynski, 42-year-old
Polish refugee priest, walked
out of his rectory at Bradford,
Yorkshire, Is months ago to a
fate that may never be solved.
The riddle of the chaplain to
Polish workers crowding the
North England industrial city has
now been filed away among the
archives at Scotland Yard, British
police headquarters.
In the House of Commons
Government spokesman stated that
despite intense inquiries the priest
had not been traced. There was
no evidence that he was the victim
of foul play. The spokesman inn
piled that unless some unexpected
evidence should crop up in the
future the case is now closed.
Father Borynski grabbed his hat
and hurried out into the night
after receiving two mysterious and
untraced phone calls. He was
never seen or heard of again. An
appeal to the 10000 Polish refu-
gees living in Britain for informa-
tion regarding his whereabouts was
unsuccessful.
Police inquiries have been chok-
ed from the first by the tangled
under current of fear and secrecy
under which these exileS from COM
munism still exist in this country.
Living in little Polish-speaking
communities dotted round the in.
dustrial centers, they still dread
the terror that stalks their own
land which. it is reported. has sent
its own agents to work and spy
among them here.
