CONTRACT

over-call with two diamonds

Opening lead: Diamond king.
He was permitted to win the
first two tricks will. the king
and queen Of diamonds. He
continued with the jack Of the
suit and Mr.. Dale won with
the ace. On this third trick a
heart was discarded from
dummy ana Miss BraSh dropped
the deuce of spades.
Naturally Mr.. Dale realized
his chief problem was to keep
Mr.. Meek out of the lead. He
figured his contract would be
easy If the clubs were favorably
divided and Mr.. Meek had
either Of the outstanding
honors.
At trick four he led the trey
Of clubs, intending to put in
dummy's 10 If Mr.. Meek played
tow. AS you see, this plan would
have worked. Miss Braslr would
have won with the jack Of
clubs, but then Mr.. Dale could
have handled any return and
run of the balance of the
cards for f1ve-odd.
However, Mr.. Meek did not
play low on the first club lead.
Recognizing this as the classic
situation for second hand high,
he played the king-and Mr..
Dale was fixed.
If he let the king Of clubs
hold, three good diamonds
would be run against him. So
he won with dummy's ace and
desperately laid down the
queen, hoping to catch a lone
jack. No luck.
The only chance left now
was the spade flnesse, and when
that lost, Mr.. Meek got to run
the rest Of his diamonds after
all. His play Melted his side
exactly four tricks. Instead of
making f1ve-odd, Mr.. Dale was
down two.
To recognize the spot for a
play like this, remembeu these
three points: First. declarer is
obviously trying to set up a
long suit in dummy; second,
there are no quick entries to
dummy except in this partic-
ular suit; third, there is a
chance that your partner has
a stopper in the suit, either
alone or in a combination with
your honor.

Nasty Slant Of Passover

thing at its proper place for the Seder Haggadah

Judaism in Los Angeles supervising the ceremony.
Everett Sloane, portraying father Arnold Morgen-
stern, raises the cup to chant the Kiddush. He now
dips greens in salt water for the blessing, breaks the
middle matzoh and hides half of it for afikoman. The
four questions are being asked by Efraim Wolff,

but also speaks Hebrew. One chair remains empty
throughout the festivities because reminded
uncle Samson-AarOn Gin the picture portrayed by
Ed Wynn) had died since last Passover.
HERMAN WOUK, an Orthodox Jew, actually wrote
the Seder sequence biting satire on the ways OF
Americas al-too-assmilated JeWry. His novel told
us of Noel Airmans father the honorable Judge Ehr-
MANN descendant of German Jews from the 1848
immigration, who knew no Hebrew and nothing of
Jewish traditions. The author of the novel, in the
Passover chapter ridicules the utraprOgressiVe cOu

joining the Unitarian Church and are most anxious
not to disturb the mental state of their il-adJusted

reaching the February 4 peak
before backsliding.
OF the eight-day rise, Eldon
A. Grimm, vice president of
Walston & Co., said: THAT
advance was due to covering by
over-extended short sellers and
to hopes of massive pump
printing such as public works
and tax cuts.
Explanations Given
1.-THE markets ability to hold
above the lows of last October
and a subsequent rally which
would go above the February
4 high would be a clue to an
upturn," said Mr.. Grimm.
THAT would mean that the
market was forecaSting an
early upturn in business"
Ralph A. Rotnem, partner in
Harris, Upham & Co., said:
THE markets recovery since
last October has been nothing
more than an average rise af-
ter a drop such as last falls.
In fact. the rise to date has
been sub-normal."
He recalled that following
the great crash of November
1929 the market recovered 48
per cent of its lost ground by
April 1880. The advance was
misleading as a token of a
business upturn because the
depression worsened and stocks
didn't hit bottom until 1882
when the depression was at its
worst.
The recent recovery since
October of about 40 per cent
of the losses since the July top
cannot be taken as a reliable
forecast of prompt business
upturn. Mr.. Rotnem said.
Range Predicted
In terms of the Dow-Jones
industrial average, Mr.. Rotnem
predicted that the market will
range between 800 and 46O this
year. The February 4 recovery
high was 1885. If his predic-
ton is accurate, it means the
market has a sharp drop in
prospect.
At the start of 1857, incident
ally, Mr.. Rotnem forecast a
range of 420 to $40 in the Dow
average. The actual high was
SCOTT and the low was 4l979.
Harry D. Conner, partner at
Paine, Weber, Jackson & Cur
tbs, took a similar view of the

LITTLEST STOCKHOLDER WAITS
Wall Street Experts
Give Stock Mart Views

NEW YORK, Mar. % R.-
The stock market has gained

Why?
Does this mean that the mar

tradition of forecasting a bust
ness upturn in four to six
months?
Not necessarily, say some
Wall Street experts; the stock
market frequently has been
very misleading as a business
barometer.
But the market has advanced
since last October % when il
fell to its lowest point since
January 1855. This has puzzled
many investors.
The rise is ascribed to a tech

Gerald M. Loeb, partner in

stock averages are up, and UP in
the face Of the most widespread
bearish news on business. This
news is worldwide.
Selling High
Most stocks" he added, "are
selling high on the basis of a
continuation Of their fourth
quarter earnings. They are
higher still if compared with
an annual earnings rate cal
culated at four times the first
quarter results. 1t means the

The record shows that since
October the market has gone
forward on news such as Presi-

his faith in the economy; on
the lowering of the discount
rate by the Federal Reserve
Board; the cut in margin re-
quirements to SO per cent from

on hopes of pump-priming and
