All Pass
Opening lead: King of clubs.
West begins by taking three
top clubs. Then he leads his
fourth club.
Declarer shrewdly throws a
diamond from dummy. trying
to lull East into inaction. If
East likewise diScards. South
will be safe.
1t is now up to East. If he
saves his trumps, he may win a
trump trick. A trump saved is
a trump earned. So runs part
If his thinking.
Then East thinks some more.
Perhaps this is the time to
squander the queen of trumpS.
A stingy player never wins.
Must Be a Reason
East cannot be sure of the
right advice if he looks only
at his own hand. He finds the
right answer, however, if he
assumes that there must be a
reason for Vests strange play
at the fourth trick.
Why does West lead that
fourth club, giving declarer a
chance to ruff in one hand and
discard from the other? The
only excuse for making so dan
gerouS a play is that West
wants his partner to do some
thing active and positive.
If East trusts his partner. he
knows this is the time to act.
He squanders that queen Of
hearts on the fourth club.
Now South must lose three
trump tricks. This costs him
the contract.
The result would be very
different if East boarded his
trumps. South would be able
to ruff the fourth club very
cheaply. Then he would lead
out the ace and a low heart,
limiting his trump loss to only
two tricks.

Road Builders Want

work with.
Harold L. Aitken, District
highway director. yesterday
called for research to enable
highway officials to tell the
people what new roads are
worth to them in dollars and
cents.
He said new roads save time

Mr.. Aitken declared. AS it is
now, he argued, highway de-
partments do not have all the
statistical tools they need to
sell the public on new roads.
Legal Tools Asked
John F. Funk, chairman of

partment needs some new legal
tools to set aside land desired
for future highways. He said
the legislation might be in the
