In today'S deal three no-trump
would have been an easier con-
tract but of course there is moth
ing delicate about Miss Brash's
bidding and she quickly by
passed that spot for a contract
OF four spades.
When the ten of clubs was
opened and the dummy went
down, she saw that she had only
nine tricks off the top. She
played low from dummy and won
with the ace. Mr.. Abel signaling
with the eight spot.
She then cashed three rounds
of spades and followed with the
lead of the duce of clubs. Mrs.
Keen played the seven, the nine
went on from dummy and Mr..
Abel won with the queen.
Mr.. Abel was fixed. Anything
he returned would lose a trick.
If he led the king of clubs. Miss
Brash would ruff and dummy'S
Jack would then furnish a dis
card for q diamond.
If he led a diamond, Miss
Brash could never lose more than
one trick in that suit. If he led
the king of hearts. Miss Brash
would let it hold and then he
would be right back where he
started.
Here are two things to re-
member about end plays: The
first is that you can often win a
trick only if you have the privi-
lege of playing last. In today's
deal Miss Brash could pick up a
trick on anything Mr.. Abel re-
turned in three different suits
because dummy would play last.
If Miss Brash had broken either
red suit herself the enemy would
have had the advantage. as Mr..
Abel would have played last to
the trick.
The second thing is that the
term ''end-play" is actually a
misnomer. A defender can be
end-played early in a hand
sometimes as early as the very
first trick.

RAIL LAYOFFS

Sixteen per cent of the members
of the International Association OF
Machinists in 27 railroad districts
were out of work at the end of
March, the latest report from the
unions survey of unemployment and
underemployment reveals.
LAM. President Al Hayes dis
closed this week that figures from
the 27 LAM. general chairmen show
that unemployment among railroad
members is heavier than for mem
bers in other industries.
In an LAM. survey published two
weeks ago, business representatives
in 81 key areas across the nation,
exclusive of railroad shops, report
ed nearly II per cent of LAM. MEM
bers were unemployed at the end
of March. The reports were sent to
the White House.
The general chairmen reported
that there had been layoffs during
March in % districts. Only two gen.
eral chairmen indicated that there
had been any rehiring during the
month.
The rail chairmen overwhelm-
ingly confirmed reports of business
representatives in other industries
where LAM. members are en-
Ployed that conditions were grow
ing worse.
The breakdown of unemployment
in the 27 railroad districts as of the
end of March showed this:
26 per cent or more members were
out of work in four districts.
II to 25 per cent were out of
work in II districts.
2 to 10 per cent were out of work
in 10 districts.
None were out of work in one dis
trict.

SENATORS ASK MORE
MONEY FOR PUBLIC
DAMS In NORTHWEST

Four senators have announced
that they will seek additional money
for two dams in the Pacific North
west, and new funds to start con-
struction of two others.
Senators Warren Magnuson of
Washington, Wayne Morse of Ore
gon, and James Murray and Mike
Mansfield of Montana, said they will
ask the senate appropriations COM
mittee to add 10 million dollars to
the appropriation for Chief Joseph
and The Dalles dams to keep the
construction of these dams on sched-
ule.
They will also ask for 3.5 million
dollars to start Ice Harbor dam on
the Snake River and 100000 to
start work on John Day dam on the
Columbia.
In announcing their amendment,
the senators observed:
"The Pacific Northwest needs con-
stantly expanding supplies of low
cost electric power for industry, farm
and domestic use. The proposed adj
ministration delay in the schedule
of The Dalles and Chief Joseph dams
does not make sense. If postpone
ments are tolerated, the region will
have costly brownouts and the econ
omy of the nation will suffer.-TA-
