mond with the ace or king of
hearts. that would set up a trump
winner for Mr.. Dale later. AS
you see, this fear was well
founded.
AS the only alternative he
cashed dummy's king of clubs,
then led another club. This could
have been won by Mr.. Dale, but
Mrs. Keen made the good play of
stepping in with her lowly trey
of hearts and returning a dia-
mond.
After that there was no way
to prevent Mr.. Dale from win
ming the setting trick with his
jack Of hearts.
Mr.. Abel had not even con-
Sidered an alternative line Of
play, which was actually a better
percentage play than the one he
had chosen. This was simply to
lead a small club at trick two and
concede a club trick. On re-
gaining the lead, he could have
picked up trumps and run the
rest of the clubs, winning five
tricks in hearts, four in clubs
and one in diamonds.

To make it worse, you also
realize that another line Of play,
which you did not see at the
start, would have brought the
contract home with ease.
There are many such hands,
susceptible Of two lines of play.
One line is obvious and appar-
emily sound. The other is OBJ
scure, but offers a better chance
for success. We might call these
hands optical illusions. and in
this and succeeding columns I
would like to show you a few Of
them and offer some, suggestions
on how to improve your vision"
Today Mr.. Dale led the queen
Of diamonds and Mr.. Abel took
stock Of his assets. II hearts
broke evenly there were five
trump tricks, the ace Of dia-
monds and the two top clubs
eight tricks. Where would the
other two tricks come from?
The answer seemed easy.
With a singleton spade in
dummy, Mr.. Abel could ruff two
Of his spades. So, without fur
ther thought, he won the first
trick with dummy's ace of dia-
monds and led the king of
spades. Mrs. Keen WIN with the
ace Of spades and cashed the
king of diamonds. She led an
other diamond and Mr.. Abel
ruffed.
He rutfed a spade in dummy, /
returned to his hand with the
ace of clubs and ruffed his last
spade. Next he cashed dummy's
queen of hearts. But now (as he
should have foreseen) he had no
convenient and immediate way
to return to his hand to pick up
the remaining trumps.
He was afraid that If he tried
to ruff dummy's last diamond
with low heart, Mr.. Dale would
overruff; or, If he ruffed the dia-

ton he must have to safeguard
his investment.
One should choose his insur-
ance agent the same way he
chooses his doctor, he must be
satisfied that his skills and COM
petence are sufficient TO care for
his needs. The customer and his
agent must necessarily under
stand each other. they must be a
team working together to insure
that the clients needs are met.
Selecting A Company
In selecting a company, the
client should consider above all
things, It's reputation, locally and
nationally. He must ascertain 10
a reasonable degree, the service
record Of a company 10 its policy
holders in his community. He
should find out from his friends,
neighbors and business associates
the degree Of regard held by the
firms local representatives. Last
but not least, he should determine
after presenting his particular
case TO the firms agents, whether
the agent and his firm have rea-
sonable solutions for his insurance
needs or problems.
On the business side. one can
always obtain from the FIRMS
home office a copy Of the latest
annual report TO policyholders
which gives a good picture OF the
activities OF management. its OBJ
jectives. problems and it's accom-
plishments.
Comparing Insurance Costs
The average citizen is not
equipped to compare various in
surance plans and costs with any
degree OF reliability and should
therefore leave II to persons who
can; the insurance agents.
Where one may save a few dol
lars per year on selecting one plan
or kind OF insurance over another.
he may be depriving himself OF
very important benefits. He would
first have 10 know the kinds and
classes Of insurance, the operating
costs OF various companies. the
long run effects OF the various
classes OF insurance and a hundred
other things and may he wrong in
his conclusions even then. There
fore, he should question his agent
about other plans, who in turn
will show him the advantages or
disadvantages according to what
his particular insurance needs are
and what he can reasonably az
ford.

A scientist warned today
against going on with atomic
and hydrogen explosions before
finding out what the results
will be on our genetic heritage.
He added that we may learn
we are gambling with eternity
using dice loaded against us.
The speaker was DR.. Reuben
Gilbert Gustabson, former chan
cellor of the University of Ne
braska and a former governor
of the Argonne National Labora-
tory at Chicago.
He addressed a section meet
ing of a Conference of National
Organizations called by the
American Association for the
United Nations at the Shoreham
Hotel. The meeting at which
DR.. Gustabson was one of the
speakers was concerned with
atoms for peace. Mrs. Eleanor
Roosevelt was a member of the
audience.
SCOTS at Controls
DR.. Gustabson also asserted
that ANY talk of control is just
words" He said that he does not
think we will ever be able to
work out international controls
of nuclear weapons. He added
that hope of avoiding an atomic
war lies in the dread of self
destruction on the part of ma
tions.
There was a vigorous assent
from the floor to this position
