hidden talent. With a reassur-
ing pat on the shoulder, he
asked the youth to come back
the same evening for a dinner
party. After the meal, he would
get a second chance TO play.
When Rubinstein showed up
for dinner, he was determined
that this time he would not fail.
II was a lavish affair. The table
was piled high with exotic del

abundance.
The i5-year-old viTtuoSO de-

headed straight for the cham

he was. his nervousness had dis

At first glance the heart f.
nesse seems to be the only
chance of taking nine tricks.
Careful counting, however,
showed Mr.. Dale that the heart
f1nesse was not necessary and
that another line of play was
not a guess, not q chance" but
an absolute certainty for game
The opening lead was the four
of spades and Mrs. Keen took
the ace and returned the ten.
Mr.. Dale ducked and Mr.. Cham
pion overlook with the jack and
led back his last spade. This
trick Mr.. Dale won with the
king.
Things looked pretty hopeless
unless Mr.. Champion had the
king of hearts. Before risking a
finesse, though, Mr.. Dale laid
down the ace of diamonds. He
was delighted to see Mr.. Cham
pion drop the queen. 1t now
seemed fairly certain that Mrs.
Keen had started with five
spades and four diamonds.
Next came the ace and king
of clubs and on the second club
Mrs. Keen showed out, discard
ing a small heart. This COM
pleted the count on Mrs. Keen'sI
hand.
Mr.. Dale then led to the jack
of diamonds, returned a dia-
mond and finessed the nine
spot. The king of diamonds
stripped Mrs. Keen of that suit.
At this point it was clear that
she had left only two spades
and two hearts. 1t was no longer
necessary to risk the heart
fnesse.
A lead of Mr.. Dale's last spade
presented Mrs. Keen with the
lead and, after winning two
spade tricks, she had to lead
away from her king of hearts
into dummys ace-queen.
OF course you can't count out
every hand as clearly as Mr..
Dale did this one. But if you
don't try, starting with trick No.
/, you will miss many oppor-
tunities to pull close ones out
of the fire.

Soviet Air Chief Tells Policy in Border Crossings

MOSCOW, RAThe chief of staff of the Soviet air force says Russian pilots have orders not to shoot at foreign planes that cross the Soviet Unions borders cas- ually.
 But, Marshal S. I. Rudenko told western newsmen, If the pene- trations are deliberate and per sistent, their (the Soviet pilots9 superiors will advise according to circumstances"
 He also said the United States would be responsible for any in cidents resulting from flights by American-made planes over So- viet territory.
 Rudenko was asked at a recep- ton at the Egyptian embassy about Russia's charge that U. S. twin engine, medium bombers from West Germany flew over Russian territory east of Poland July 4, 5 and g. The United States has denied the charge.
 Gudenko said: "They were fly ing at tremendous altitude. Our planes flew alongside and sig naled them to land, but the Am erican planes disregarded the sig nals and continued on their courses.
 "They (the Soviet pilots) did not see any markings, but our fliers know US. planes; we know the types"
 An American reporter suggest ed the planes could have been sold by the United States to an other country. Gudenko replied:
 That's your responsibility. The United States knows whom it sells it's planes to and where they are"
