trick. Mr.. Champion playing
the deuce. This practically de-
manded a switch to some other
suit and if Mr.. Muzzy had led
a club at trick two Mr.. Cham
pion could not have been put
in a hopeless situation later in
the hand.
But Mr.. Muzzy continued
with a second diamond. After
all Mr.. Champion had bid dia-
monds, hadn't he? The fact
was that Mr.. Muzzy's hand
was so bad he had already
given up.
Mr.. Champion won the Sec
ond trick and had no better
lead than another diamond.
Mr.. Masters ruffed high, then
pulled three rounds of spades.
Next he cashed the ace and
king Of hearts. The last trump
was now led and the five of
clubs discarded from the board.
At this point Mr.. Champion
had left the AK of diamonds
and the XII of clubs. When a
heart was now led to dummy's
queen he knew there was no
way to avoid the throw-in. He
had the choice of banking the
king Of clubs or getting down
to the lone ace of diamonds.
He chose the latter alternative
and Mr.. Masters promptly led
dummy's last diamond. Mr..
Champion won with the ace
and had to lead a club into
dummy's ace-queen.
It didn't require too much
imagination to lead a club from
Mr.. Muzzy'S hand at the Sec
ond trick. The only holding in
dummy which clearly needed
to be led through was the club
holding. If Mr.. Champion had
one or more heart tricks he
could win those without any
help from his partner.

Decker Strike
Nearing End
Hampton Roods Pact
Clears Last Obstacle

NORFOLK, Va. Feb. % (Pl.-
The last obstacle to settling the
East Coast dockworkers strike
was removed early today when
Hampton Roads longshoremen
and shippers agreed on a new
contract.
The agreement in Norfolk
came after a lengthy session of
nearly II hours, and followed
earlier acceptance in Baltimore
of general wage pattern pro-
yiding 30 cents an hour wage in
crease over a three-year span.
| Settlement In Hampton Roads
had been held UP because OF
several local issues. The two
sides finally agreed this morning
and David Aston. lonsshoreman
vice president for the port. de-
clared:
Il will give the employees their
back to work orders at 10
o'clock.
A membership meeting was
set for that hour for outlining
the new pact. Mr.. Aston said
Norfolk dockworkers would re-
turn to their posts at 7 pm.
Master Contract Followed
Failure to reach agreement in
Baltimore and Hampton Roads
had kept some $4,000 workers in
ports from Maine to Virginia
away from their Jobs after a
master contract was ironed out
in New York Sunday night.
The contract for Hampton
Roads. covering longshoremen in
Norfolk and Newport News, en-
braces most of the features of
the general coast-wide agree
ment. These terms include adj
Justments in wages. hours, well
fare benefits and pensions.
Concessions by the shippers on
certain local issues apparently
paved the way for this morning S
settlement. These included a
three-week vacation for employees
with over six years seniority and
additional paid holidays.
Mr.. Aston said the workers
would meet some time next week
to ratify the pact.
William V. Bradley. president
of the International Longshore-
mems Association independently
had ordered the striking lockers
back to the piers at 8 am. yes
terday on the basis of the ten
tative coast-wide agreement.
However. in New York, Phila-

thousands of rebellious long
shoremen side with Baltimore

UNITED NATIONS. IN. Y.
Feb. 22.--Faced with what APP
pears as a clear-cut refusal by
Israel to withdraw her troops
from Egypt, the United Nations
prepared today for fateful de-
bate on sanctions.
The General Assembly was
scheduled to meet at 3 pm. in
a holiday atmosphere created by
large crowds of visitors. The
delegates themselves, however
are approaching the debate in
anything but a holiday spirit.
Many still hoped for some last
minute break which would JUS

the sanctions move.
Arabs to Ask Sanctions
Failing this, the 80-nation AsA
sembly will be faced with an
Arab-written resolution demand
ing that Israel be deprived of
all political, economic and mill
tary assistance until she COM
plies with u. N. demands for
withdrawal from Egyptian ter

from an American proposal sub

resolution was vetoed by Britain
