ace of hearts and shift to the
queen of clubs. That would be
the end of poor South. Actually
West leads the jack Of dia-
monds-just like any normal
human being. This permits
South to make his contract.
Mind you, South can't sit
back and let the hand play it
self. If South wins the first
trick and leads a trump, with
some vague plan Of drawing
trumps, he will GO down. West
will take the ace of spades,
lead a heart to East, and get
a club return to defeat the
contract.
Speedy Action
Speedy action is called for.
South must win the ace of dia-
monds and promptly cash dunn
my's king and queen of dia-
monds. This enables him to
discard a club from his hand.
Having obtained this discard
South can afford to go after
the trumps. The defenders can
take only their three aces and
South scores his game.
The point is that in some
hands you must take a discard
before you give up the lead. II

SIS Million
Housing Project
Foes Plan Suit

The Oxon Hill Md Vista
Citizens Association voted last
night to consider taking court
action to try to block a pro-
posed $7.5 million housing
project for elderly persons.
The project is planned on
a 44.5-acre tract about 600
feet northwest of Fort Foote
road overlooking the Potomac
River. Zoning for the $50
unit apartment development
was approved June II by the
Prince Georges County Com
missioners at a public hearing
Oxon Hill area residents
voiced opposition at the hear
ing, saying the home for the
elderly would depreciate prop
erty values, cause traffic con-
geStion, and represent a
commercial venture in a resi-
Dental area. Court action, il
taken, would attempt to upset
the coming, according to VIII
liam Overton, president Of the
citizens group.
The project is planned as q
self-sustaining, non-profit ope-
ration by the mponio
Foundation, according to its
president. Arthur Pomponio
an Arlington real estate de-
veloper. He said at the hear
ing he planned to finance con-
struction through the Fedora

Mrs. Stone, who is now seek

urged establishment of a full

women at VPI.
For the past four years, Vir-
GINA colleges have graduated
