The suit preference signals
are q case in point. Before Mr..
Muzzy heard about these it was
possible, at times. to get him to
continue a suit by flashing q
high card like a nine or ten.
Not any more. These days,
when he lays down an ace you
can play q high one, a low one
or an intermediate one. You
can even revoke. Nothing makes
any difference. Mr.. Muzzy Is
going to read some deep. dark
meaning into your play and he
Is going to shift to some other
suit.
Unfairly enough, this does not
always work to his disadvantage.
In today's deal he unwittingly
gave Mr.. Champion the works
through a misconception Of the
suit preference signals.
u He opened the queen Of
spades and Mr.. Meek played the
eight. Mr.. Meek was not try
ing to give any signal at all. He
was merely following suit with
his lowest spade.
/ Mr.. Champion saw that he
had just IL tricks in sight. APP
parently he was going to have
to lose a club and a spade. A
squeeze seemed to be the only
hope. One opponent had as
many as five clubs plus both the
king and queen of diamonds, he
would be squeezed after the run
Of the hearts.
Mr.. Champion knew that in
order to make the squeeze
operate, he had to concede the
enemy one trick early in the
play. He therefore ducked the
drst trick.
AS you see, the situation Mr..
Champion hoped for was true.
Mr.. Meek was the only defender
Who could guard both clubs and
diamonds.
but wait. Mr.. Muzzy was
thinking. He noted his partners
play Of the eight of spades. He
failed to note, of course, that all
Of the spades lower than the
eight were showing.
"Ah." he thought, "a high
one. A suit preference signal.
Meek wants me to shift to the
higher Of the other two plain
suits"
Thereupon Mr.. Muzzy led a
diamond-and that killed the
squeeze. After running the
hearts, Mr.. Champion had no
entry to the board.

Set to Devote
Rest of Life to
Supreme Court
BY the Associated Press

Chief Justice Earl Warren to-
day issued a statement saying
he will not be a candidate for
President of the United States
and that II will not change
this decision under any circum-
stances or conditions"
The chief justice issued his
statement following publication
of a poll which indicated that
he was first choice for the Re-
publican nomination in 1856 If
President Eisenhower decided
not to run for a second term.
Mr.. Warren is a former Re-
publican Governor of California.
He ran for vice president in
1948 on the Republican ticket
with Thomas E. Dewey, then
Governor of New York.
Reflects on Work
The text of Mr.. Warren's
statement:
MY name has been used as
a possible candidate for the
presidency.
"This has been q matter Of
embarrassment to me because
1t reflects upon the perform
ance Of my duties as Chief JUS
tice of the United States.
when I accepted that posi-
ton. it was with the fixed pur-.
pose of leaving politics perma-
nently for service on the court.
That is still my purpose. It is
irrevocable. I will not change
it under any circumstances or
conditions.
BE they many or few, the
remaining useful years of my life
are dedicated to the service Of
the Supreme Court of the United
States. in which work I am in
creasingly happy"
Statement Is Definitely
Mr.. Warren's statement dis
avowing political ambition was
one of the most definite in years.
It had some of the characteristics
of the one issued by Gen. VIII
liam T. Sherman in 1888:
IF nominated, I will not &C
cept: If elected. will not serve"
The Gallup poll published last
Wednesday said Is per cent of
Republicans and 81 per cent Of
independent voters covered by
the survey favored Mr.. Warren
for the Republican nomination
if President Eisenhower should
decide not to run again.
A poll of members of the Re-
publican National Committee by
Gould Lincoln and carried in
The Sunday Star April 3, showed
Mr.. Warren was one of the three
most favored possible candidates
in the event Mr.. Eisenhower did
not run. The others were Vice
President Nixon and Senator
knoWland.
The only member of the ST.
preme Court ever to run for
President was Charles Evans
Hughes. While an associate JUS
tice he accepted the Republican
nomination in 1916. but was de-
feated in the election by Wood
row Wilson.
Recent persistent rumors that
Mr.. Warren would consider the
Republican nomination had led
some friends of his to predict a
statement along the lines of the
one he issued today.
