So Pass 81 All pass
1t would have been a little
better if she had been going to
play the hand herself. But with
Mr.. Muzzy as declarer the re-
suit might be gruesome. She
could have saved herself this
very because the play went as
follows:
Mr.. Champion led the jack Of
diamonds, his best opening. The
deuce was played from dummy
and Mr.. Abel won with the king
and returned the suit. r-.
Mr.. Muzzy won the second
trick with the queen of diamonds
and looked very pleased. IF one
finesse goes. we're in, partner,
he said. Having made this
faulty analysis. he led the queen
of hearts and let it go when Mr..
Champion did not cover with the
king. A small heart followed.
the king fell to the ace and Mr..
Abel discarded a club.
Now the ace of diamonds was
eashed. and after considerable
thought Mr.. Muzzy discarded the
eight o fclubs from his hand.
At this point he suddenly realized
1t took more than a successful
heart finesse to make the hand.
Guess I'd better play it out"
he admitted sheepishly. Actually
he was sure he was down one be-
cause he could see no possible
parking space for his losing
spade.
From this point on he took a
full minute for each play. He
cashed the ace of spades and
then ran the rest of the trumps,
trying to postpone, as long as
possible, the evil moment when
he would have to admit to Mr..
Champion that, he was set.
But the last trump took care
Of Mr.. Champion. His last three
cards were the king of spades
and the queen of clubs. Dummy
had ace-jack Of clubs and the
queen Of spades. He elected to
part with the king Of spades on
the theory that Mr.. Muzzy might
have forgotten the ace had been
played.
Not this time. Brilliantly
enough, Mr.. Muzzy remembered.
He discarded the jack of clubs
from dummy and won the last
two tricks with dummy's queen
of spades and ace Of clubs.
Mr.. Champions temper was
not improved when Mr.. Muzzy
remarked: First time I've seen
you pull the wrong card in q
long time, Champion"

Deliberution on Gray Report
Urged by Foirfox Federation

The Fairfax Civic Federation
warned last night against "hasty
action predicted on emotional
bases or unsound premises" at
the special session Of the Vir-
ginia Legislature on November
80 to consider the Gray Com
mission report on public schools.
The Federation asked Fairfax
representatives to the Assembly
ito maintain our public school
system free from any lowering
Of the educational standard" 1t
further asked an expanded and
improved public school sytem
without shackles resulting from
emotional and hurried action"
These warnings to Fairfax
County's representatives - also
to Gov. Stanleywere contained
in a school committee report
given by William r. Perlik. The
report was accepted unanimously
and copies are to 60 to the coun-
TVS representatives at the spe-

take up the merits Of the Gray
report.

Swimming Pool
Finally 0k'd
In lnMontgonlery

Members of the Old George
town Club. Inc. a Montgomery
County swimming pool group
formed over two years ago. final
lily gained official approval yes
terday Of their plan to build a
community pool in West Be-
thesda near Fernwood and
IGreentree roads.
| Since public hearings on the
proposal began a year ago, coun-
Ity zoning regulations have been
loverhauled twice and the pool
corporation has fought bitter
Icitizen opposition during several
public clashes.
| Opposition to the pool was led
by members OF the Bradley Bou-
Ilevard Citizens Association
They repeatedly charged the
pool would damage property
values.
Zoning Rule Debated
The pool application first came
before the Montgomery County
Board Of Appeals in October. 1854
Later, the county council
amended its zoning rules TO pro-
Iside that community pools be con-
lsidered 8 permitted use in resi-
dental areas. The appeals board
then dismissed the application
claiming it lacked jurisdiction.
Further public debates last year
land early this year centerec
Iaround zoning requirement that
pool group members live within
Ia half-mile radius Of the pool site
Finally, on May "a, another zon-
ing amendment cancelled that
restriction and placed pool permit
jurisdiction back in the hands
lof the board OF appeals.
The board. In granting the poo
lcorporation's request, attached q
lengthy list Of conditions, how.
ever. These included instructions
that the pool club must:
/. Submit affidavits Of finan-
lcial responsibility.
| Q. Limit membership to $50
families.
Use Of Pool Restricted
/ 3. Restrict use of the pool to
members and their guests.
| 4. Obtain water from public
water facilities only.
! S. Maintain existing trees and
shrubbery as a screen around the
Ipool site.
8. Restrict use Of the pool to

sunset.
| z. Provide off-street parking
for 100 autos.
8. Build adequate fencing
around the pool area.
8. Purchase liability insurance.
10. Draw me m bers from a
sharply limited area.
Officials of the swimming club
have stated most of the groups
members are from the Wyngate
and Alta Vista subdivisions Of
Old Georgetown road. The group
plans to pay about $57. 900 for
| the pool and bath house.
