He was smiling Slyly when this
hand came up. His partner led
the jack of diamonds and he
cashed the ace, king and queen.
He then shifted to the queen Of
clubs and dummy's king won.
At this point he ASKED:
~What's trumps?"
Mr.. Champion snorted at the
delay. I'VE, don't have to tell
you that" he growled.
But on prompting from Mr..
Muzzy, Mr.. Judge read clause 43
Of the laws which says that any
player is entitled to be informed
what the contract is and whether
or not, but not by whom, it was
doubled or redoubled.
So Mr.. Champion gave in and
stated that the contract was four
spades, not doubled.
Mr. Muzzy wasn't through yet.
"Just a minute" he said. read
clause A, will you, Judge?" Mr..
Judge complied and Mr.. Muzzy
grinned truimphantly. He had
made a point.
Clause A required dummy to
put the trumps to his right. Mr..
Champion had followed the prac-
tice of many players by laying
the suits down in no particular
order. Here he had placed the
trunps to his left.
Reluctantly he changed them
over. But he had the last word.
''What will you do. Muzzy, when
the dummy is out Of trumps?"
he asked.
Mr.. Abel made four spades by
q nice play. Figuring MIR. Muzzy
for the king of hearts by reason
of his takeout double, he avoided
the heart finesse.
He played the ace Of hearts
from dummy at trick five, then
cashed all of his spades. Dummy's
last three cards were the queen
of hearts and the ace-ten Of
oRaahs. Mr.. Muzzy had the king
OF hearts and the jack-f1ve Of
clubs.
81 Mr.. Abel had left the jack Of
hearts, the nine Of clubs and a
trump. He led the trump, dis
earding the queen Of hearts from
the board. Mr.. MuzZy was
squeezed. To throw the heart
would make Mr.. Abels Jack good.
He dropped a club. but Mr..
Abel led a club and went up with
the ace in dummy. dropping the
Jack and making the ten good
for the game-going trick.

Church Wins Rome Ruling
But Police Ignore It
By The Associated Press

ROME. Mar. 3.-The Church
of Christ won a legal decision
here today permitting it to oper-
ate and to post signs at its places
of worship. But police swooped
down on the church here short
time later and for the third time
removed its sign.
The police acted after a local
police commissioner had warned
Cline r Paden, leader of the
American supported church,
against affixing the stone sign:
"ChieSa di Cristo." Mr.. Paden
ignored the police order and
when police arrived had the
first two letters in place.
The police put up ladders and
chiseled out the 10fnch letters.
They took Gerald Paden. Cline's
brother, with them when they
left. Gerald, associated with
administering the Church of
Christ here, had been taking
pictures of the officers at work
on the sign.
After the police departed
members of the church resumed
their job of putting up the sign,
minus the first two letters.

fortune left to three German ma
tionals, is now the property Of

The U. S. Court of Appeals for
the District of Columbia ruled
the Attorney General. as sue
cessor to the alien property GUS
todian, rightfully had sought
control of the funds.
The fortune originally was
part of an estate amassed by q
New York businessman. David
Lee, in the middle 10th century.

ficiary of part of his estate, mar
ried q German baron.
She died in 1890 and left the
funds to three grandchildren
who were German citizens liv-
ing in that country.
The National Savings and
Trust Co. was named trustee OF
the estate. In 194s. the Attorney
General ordered the funds seized
as enemy alien property.
The trustees baked on grounds
the seizure power derived from
the Governments war powers no
longer applied because hostilities
ended in 1916.
But the Appellate Court today
held that while the fighting
stopped in 1916, the war powers
extended until the actual proc
lamation of peace with Germany
in 1851.

clude further litigation on the
part of the trustees and the
