While he was here, he tried to
protect himself from some of
the political fallout resulting
from his recent declaration
that favorable polls might
make him q presidential cans
didate.
The Governor has had adj
verse reaction to his announce
ment at q background press
conference In Puerto Rico that
his political course could be
determined by his showing In
the polls. Other politicians have
complained that such q popu-
larity contest is not q proper
preliminary to seeking the
worlds highest once, and also
that such a cautious approach
indicates q lack Of sporting
blood.
At an Albany press confer
ence Monday. he said an oppor-
tunity to serve would be the
decisive factor. Yesterday, at
q press conference in the White
House Office of Press Secretary
James C. Hagerty. he said
laughlingly, Il never mention
polls"
Obviously, the Governor has
not yet resolved the argument
raging in his own camp as
to whether he should take his
case to the country promptly
or wait on future developments.
The only out-of- State plans
he has are for q flight to
Norway this week end for the
wedding Of his son Steven to
Anne-Marie Rasmussen and for
. Philadelphia dinner in mid
September in honor of the
Eisenhower fellowships.

vaguely, you are left pretty
high on what to do when the
time comes"
Someone pointed out that
Senator Bridges Is a Nixon
man.

piled.

Opening lead: King of hearts.

All Pass
Opening lead: King of hearts.
West opened the king Of
hearts, and South dropped the
queen to brighten West into
switching to q different suit.
West was worried, but he
knew that South was Mitch
Barnes. winner of several ma.
tional bridge championships in
his dry-land days. West knew
that Barnes was capable Of
making unusual plays. What's
more. West couldn't see much
hope Of defeating the contract
II South really had only one
heart.
West therefore continued
with the ace Of hearts. East
discarded a low club. and West
promptly led a third heart for
his partner to ruff. East then
got out with o club.
Tries New SwindIe
Barnes had already failed
with one deceptive play but
tried q new swindle. He drew
two rounds Of trumps and then
led the seven of diamonds to
dummy's ace and q low dia-
mond back from dummy. It
looked to East as though de-
clarer had no more diamonds
and was hoping to ruff out
the king. East therefore played
the ten Of diamonds, and
Barnes won with the jack. The
rest was, of course, easy.
Why didn't Barnes try the
normal diamond flnesSe instead
Of his rather fancy deceptive
play? West had opened the
bidding with q weak two-bid
and had already shown up with
six hearts headed by A-K-10-9.
II West also held the king Of
diamonds he would have opened
with one heart rather than
with q weak two-bid. In other
words, East surely had the king
Of diamonds. The finesSe could
not work, and the only chance
was a>deceptive play.

and the next player passes. You
hold:
AKJ10s3 0Q74 OFT Ass
What do you bid?
Answer: Two spades. This is
q weak bid, and your hand
seems to count up to enough
for a stronger bid. However
you should avoid taking strong
action with one king and no
aces. Isolated queens and jacks
are Of doubtful value.
