three level to show a simple
preference for hearts, and that
might be a trick too high. If he
rebid two hearts he would be
completely submerging his good
four-card spade suit.
So he simply opened the bid
ding with spade. Over the
actual two-club response he had
a natural and convenient rebid Of
two hearts and Mr.. Dale was
able to choose between the
major suits at the two level. Mr..
Masters three-heart bid was a
try for game and, of course.
promised a f1ve-card heart suit.
With a little left over from his
previous bids, Mr.. Dale was glad
to bid four.
The opening lead Of the eight
of clubs was a fortunate one for
Mr.. Masters. He won in his hand
with the king. With two sure
diamond losers he saw that his
only problem was to avoid two
losers in the trump suit.
His method of handling the
trumps guarded against a hold
ing of four to the queen-10 in
either opponents hand. First he
laid down the king. Next he led
toward dummy's ace-nine. II
Mr.. Abel had failed to follow
suit here, he would have won
with dummy's ace and led back
toward his jack. Thus he would
have lost only to the queen.
When Mr.. Abel played the four
on the second heart lead, the
nine was played from dummy and
it held the trick. The ace took
the third round of hearts and
Mr.. Masters then ran his spades
Mr.. Abel could take his queen of
hearts any time he chose, but II
was the only trump trick he
would get.
If Mr.. Abel had gone up with

would have won with dummy's
ace and returned the nine to
drive out the queen. On regain

Proxmire Says
Dulles, Benson
Should Resign
By the Associated Press


Wisconsin's new Democratic
Senator, William E. Proxmire.
says his surprising election in
dictated a national discomfort
with the Eisenhower admins
tration's policies.
This discomfort. Senator
Proxmire said, particularly APP
piled to the administrations
farm and foreign policies. He
said Secretary Of State Dulles
and Secretary Of Agriculture
Benson should resign.
The 41-year-old Senator and
his pretty young wife analysed
the election in a TV interview
on ABC's Open Hearing be-
fore flying back to their home
in Madison. Wis.
Senator Proxmire said 1t was
dificult to analyze the Wis
consin election. But he said
1t certainly indicated q ma
tional trend "and you don't
get a trend unless there Is
q deep-seated feeling" Of dis
content.
On foreign policy. he said he
felt that most people of his
State disagreed with Mr.. Dulles
policies although this did not
mean they opposed foreign aic.
On farm policy. he said he
found farm township after
township which in recent years
had gone heavily Republican
but voted for me because !
was anti-Benson and my OPP
ponent was predecessor"
Senator Proxmire said the
election indicated a VERY def
mite. clear and obvious loss" for
President Eisenhower's policies
and programs but did indicate
any resentment toward Mr.. Eli
senhower as q person.

so that all the evidence would indicate that the
lights had been turned off by someone who had
pulled the main switch and therefore by some
one who was standing close to the fuse box at
the very moment the lights went out.
HE was back behind the bar when asked
where the fuse box was, and he took pains to
suggest to me that he had been behind the bar
all that time by saying that he couldn't find the
bar gate in the dark.
HE killed his own dog because it was giving
him away. There's only one plausible reason
why any dog would enter strange house unin-
Wted. 1t must be a house where the dog has
lived before with his own master.
IF Amory's Loki had started returning regu-
larry, someone was sure to suspect, sooner or
later, that the dog had lived in that house before.
The only previous tenant, besides the Ashleys,
was Delorme, the French thief, who kept
boxer puppy there ten years ago.

''DeIorme riSked bringing the dog back to this
neighborhood because the dogs appearance
had CHANGED, too He was no longer puppy
and he was useful as watchdog and body
guard. No doubt Delorme was a dogfancier
in his own way, but he was also ruthless crimi-
nal who didn't hesitate to use knife on human
being or animal if he thought he had to.
HE realized what the dog was doing to him
the moment Sybilla told her story and, while
she and were still talking, he went down the
drive and killed the dog. II was the dogs own
passage through the bayberry bushes that made
them culver earlier that afternoon"
hen il it hadn't been for the dog you
wouldn't have suspected -.
"Oh, yes, should. l had begun to suspect
Amory was Delorme long before worked out
the evidence of the dog. Though he spoke Eng
lish entirely without a French accent, even
under stress, he still used the word ignore as
the French use il. He said: i ignored Mrs.
Ehrenthal's wealth. What professional charity
organizer would ignore wealth in the English
sense Of the word? He meant: I didn't know
about Mrs. Ehrenthal's wealth. and that use Of
the word ignore is French. Also, thought:
"Why had he sent Mrs. Ehrenthals notice of
the dance to Box 703 instead of Box 6lO? Was
7O3 the old box number for that same house?
II was, and that number was indelibly ascot
ated with that house in Delorme's subccnscious.
He must have lonsed nostalgically for the days
when he lived there, secure and unsuSpected -
an unconscious wish that expressed itself in his
typographical error.
The ten-year old box number and the French
use Of the word ignore were sentence in
cipher that read in clear: I am Frenchman and
lived in this house ten years ago. After that,
all l had to ask myself was: How could Amory
make those lights 60 out when he was standing
so far from the main switch?' - The End
