Opening lead: King Of hearts.
Certainly ! am not recon-
meneding that you form a habit
of making leads like this and I
am showing you this hand only
to point up the fact that some
times a completely unorthodox
lead is called for.
AS opening leader in this deal
Mr.. Dale thought, with consider
able reason, that he was dealing
with very special situation. He
decided on the king of hearts by
a process of elimination as fol-
lows:
First, he would have liked to
open his partners bid suit-but
his partner hadn't bid. He would
have preferred to open the top
of a solid honor sequence like
king-queen-jack - but he didn't
have one. Before he heard the
second round of bidding he
might have decided to open his
own suit. spades-but both of
his opponents had heard him bid
spades-and both had then made
strong, confident bids in no.

A diamond lead from four to
the jack. right into Mr.. Cham
pion's bid, seemed (and was)
hopeless. Mr.. Dale did not waste
much time thinking about his
singleton club as an opening
lead. If his partner had shoppers
in that suit. it could be assumed
he would make them in the nor
NAL course of the play.
Mentally summing it up, Mr..
Dale told himself that Mr..
Champion had shown strength
in spades and diamonds and a
good hand over all. And Mrs.
Keen had shown no fear of
spades and a pretty good hand.

clubs and her prompt raise to

What was left? Well, nobody

Russia To Okuy
Israel Migration

NEW YORK, (JTA) =
Nikitea Khruschev, Com
munist boss" of the Soviet
Union, admitted that it is
very difficult for a Jew to
leave Russia if he wants
to settle in Israel, or even
to visit the Jewish State.
But" he added, "the
time will come when every
one who wants to go will
be able to do So."
This statement was made
by the leader of the Soviet
Communist Party to Mrs.
Eleanor Roosevelt when
she interviewed him dur
ing her visit to Moscow.
Mrs. Roosevelt, reporting
her talks with Mr.. Khrus-
chew in the New York Post
this week, says that he
seemed very anxious to
have her understand that
a Communist could not be
anti-Semitic."
He emphasized the fact
that his own son, who was
killed in the war, had been
married to a Jew and
claimed that Jews in the
Soviet Union were given
all opportunities for edu-
cation and employment on
all levels.
Mr.. Khruschev reminded
Mrs. Roosevelt that the
Soviets had voted for the
creation of the State of
Israel, but added that at
present he felt that Israel
must change its policies
and be less aggressive"
When Mrs. Roosevelt
suggested that the Soviet
Union had given the arms
to Syria which had been
one of the reasons for the
sense of insecurity in Is
rael and therefore for their
show of aggression, he
flared up and said there
were 80 million Arabs and
about one million Israelis,
and eff Israel continues
her present policy she will
be destroyed"
