Opening lead: Four of spades.
West opened the four Of
spades. and declarer took
dumnny's top spades to discard
two.clubs. Then he led the ten
of clubs from dummy. hoping
to steal q trick with the king !
which was now unguarded.
The trick was one that he
didn't need, and the attempt
to get the unnecessary trick led
to the defeat of the contract.
South eventually lost control Of
the hand. e
West won with the ace OF
Clubs ana led another spade to,
make South ruff: Declarer led
the queen Of hearts for a
ilnesse, losing to the king. and
Back came another spade. Z.
South ruffed again, and by
this time had only two ltrumps
lleft. II he drew trumps, the
loss Of the diamond finessei
would then leave dummy with
q losing club. j,
Tries Finesse
Instead. south led his only
low trump to dummy's ace and
led the tensof diamonds for a
fnesse. West won with the
king Of diamonds and returned
q club. South had to ruff with
the jack Of hearts. and now
East's ten Of hearts was good
for the setting trick.
It was pretty complicated,
but the simple fact was that
South's trumps didn't last.
What's more. South did 1t with
his own little hatchet when he
led a club from dummy at the
third trick.
After taking the top spades
South can make sure Of the
contract by leading out the ace
of trumps and then a low
trump. The defenders can
make South ruff o spade. but
he can draw the last trump
and go after the diamonds with
. trump still In his hand to
assure control.
The moral Of this little tale
Is: Don't waste time on your

Capital Merger
Urged 10 Help
All AirIines
BY the Associated Press


William A. Patterson. presi-
dent of United Air Lines. said
today a merger Of Capital Air
lines into United would re-
move a serious threat to the
credit of the entire airline in
dustry."
He testified at the opening
Of q hearing on the merger
proposal, that many airlines
are having dificulty buying
necessary jet equipment.
Mr.. Patterson said neither
United nor any other airline
has arranged for the purchase
of all the jet equipment needed.
II have felt strongly that
bankruptcy or foreclosure upon
the assets Of a major domestic
trunk line would materially and
adversely affect the ability of
the industry to obtain the ad-
ditional financing which it will
require on reasonable terms,
he said.
VickerS Armstrong;. Ltd,
started foreclosure action
against Capital for $33.717, 7,00C
due on purchase of Viscount
airliners, but agreed to with
hold the action pending q
merger agreement satisfactory
to the British creditors.
Other Deal Rejected
Thomas D. Neelands. jr.
chairman of the board Of Capt.
tai, related today that a New
York banker informed him that
Donald Nyrop, president o.
Northwest Airlines. had indi'
Gated interest in q merger with
Capital particularly because o.
Capitals Minneapolis Chicago
and Great Lakes-Florida routes
Mr.. Neelands said he told tht
banker that Vickers probabl!
would be willing to cut theil
notes to from $40 million to $2I
million if an acceptable plan
including a piece Of the fu'
ture," could be presente
promptly. Mr.. Neelands said tn,
banker friend considered thi
too large a deal for Northwes
alone, but thought that North
west and Delta Air Lines nigh
combine to produce the required
financial strength.
Mr.. Neelands said Delta wa
uninterested because of its in
volvement in the CABS south
ern transcontinental case.
/ Mr.. Neelands said that unde
the United Capital merger plal
"the terms offered to Capital
debentures holders and stocl
holders are not only fair bu
:. very favorable -"
IT believe that if the merge
is not consummated and fore
closure and bankruptcy reSul
the holders of Capitals deben
lures and stock have little hop,
of recovering any part of thei
investment"
| Sees More Mergers
Mr.. Patterson said that will
jet planes costing about IS mil
lion each, airline mergers o
some kind appear almost in
evitable.
He also said United has n,
intention Of starting a "craSl
program" to capture any fixe,
share Of its new markets if tn
merger goes through, but doe
expect to provide better servic
for the cities served by Capita
than Capital provides today.
He said improved service ais
could be expected in such mar
kets as Cleveland Chicag
which now depend mainly o.
a combination of United an
Capital service and wher
United plans additional jet op
erationS.
Mr.. Patterson said that Il
the event of a merger Unite
will offer jobs to all Capits
employees under terms and con
ditions equal or superior
