and we're detecting it all the
time" she explained.
The writer's were only one OF
more than a dozen groups being
led on a tour Of FBI head
quarters yesterday. Corridors
were SO packed that at times
members of one group would
find themselves listening intently
to guides for another group.
Mr.. Murphy guessed that at
leaest 100000 persons are shown
through the building during the
900 working days each year.
The tour for the writer's was
abbreviated because of a time
shortage, he said. But the group
still managed to cover major
spots scheduled.
At the toxicology laboratory
the fiction specialists waxed en-
thusiastic. Poison is a common
means Of death in the stories
they write. A notable exception
to this is the output of Mr.. Coke
Il almost never use poison,
he said. tits too hard to prove.
Mr.. Coke evinced most inter-
est in a lab section devoted To
hair and fiber checks. Taking
notes at this point. he said he
might want TO use some day

mostly in Connecticut. Authors

Today's word game is designed
to test ability to recognize words
similar in meaning. Below you
will find two groups of ten words
each. The first group is num-
bered /, 2, 3, etc. The second
group is lettered A, B. c. etc.
For each word in the first
group you will find word of
almost the same meaning "a
synonym in the second group.
Thus the word numbered / may
mean practically the same as

Opening lead: Seven OF clubs.
In today's deal anyone could
have made four spades against
an opening lead of the singleton
jack of hearts. You would simply
win the first trick with one of
dummy's high hearts, extract
trumps in four leads. lose a trick
to the king of diamonds and
then claim 10 tricks. You would
have plenty of time to win five
spades, three diamonds and two
hearts.
Mr.. Dale did not open heart.
He correctly decided to play the
forcing game-that is. to lead his
strongest suit in an effort to re-
duce the trump holding in the
closed hand. He led the seven of
clubs, which would result in the
defeat of this contract in many
cases.
Unfortunately for Mr.. Dale,
however, this contract was ham
died by no ordinary dummy
player. Mr.. Masters proceeded to
take 10 tricks in the following
manner:
At trick one the nine of clubs
was played from dummy and
Miss Brash won with the jack,
She returned the ace of clubs
and Mr.. Masters ruffed. Now if
he had picked up all of Mr..
Dale's trumps at this point he
would have had none left him.
self. Then, when he tried the
diamond f1nesse and it lost, Mr..
Dale could have run the balance
of his club suit.
Of course Mr.. Masters didn't
play the hand like that. He
played to make it even if one of
the defenders had four spades
and the diamond f1nesse was
wrong. At trick three he led a
heart to dummy's king, returned
q diamond and TOOK the flneSSe.
Mr.. Dale won and laid down
the king of clubs, Mr.. Masters
avoided the temptation to ruff
He merely discarded a small
heart, which was a loser any,
way. Now another club lead
could be ruffed in dummy.
This simple but necessary ma
neuver prevented Mr.. Dale from
pumping the trump holding in
the closed hand again. He shifted
to a diamond, but Mr.. Masters
won, picked up the remaining
trumps and spread the hand.
