Dummy'S Jack Of spades wins
the first trick, and you lose a
diamond finesse to the queen
Back comes the seven of hearts
and you must guess whether
to play high or low.
II you play a low heart from
dummy, East will win with the
queen. He will return a spade,
and you will be a cooked crow
If you play dummy's king OF
hearts, you make the contract
You unblock the diamonds and
lead a club. You will win four
diamonds, one heart, two spades
and two or three clubs.
Figuring the Odds
For the sake Of argument
assume that West is equally
likely to lead a heart whether
he has the queen or the ace
of hearts. Now consider both
possibilities.
If West has the ace Of hearts
you always win by putting UP
dummy's king.
If West has led from o.
Of hearts. you cannot get all
three heart tricks by playing
low from the dummy. You lack
a final entry to dummy fol-
the fourth round of hearts
and you will not get nine tricks
Therefore you will win in
slightly more cases by putting
up the dummy'S king of hearts
even assuming that West is
just as likely to be leading
from the queen as from the ace
Actually, the leads are not
equally probable. Any GOOD
player might lead a heart
through dummy's king-jacE
from a holding headed by the
ace Of hearts. Only an excep-
tional player would be bright
enough to lead through the
king Jack If his hearts were
headed by the queen. For this
reason the king is about twice
as likely to win as the jack
The odds in this case are moi
just a matter Of cold mathe-
matics. Human likes and dis
likes affect the odds vitality.

in connection with a probe Of
possible violations in the sale
of building materials here.
Although Justice Depart

the mines by wholesalers.
Attorneys Bruce L. Mont
gomery, Sidney Harris, and
Wilford L. Whitly of the JUS
tice Departments antitrust
division have been assigned tc

Sweeping fire-safety regula-
tions for public and private
schools, hospitals and nursing
homes in the District are pro-
posed in a bill introduced to-
day by Representative Auchin-
Gloss, Republican OF New
Jersey.
The bill represents the latest
effort to tighten fire regula-

Nursing Home fire last month.
Major provisions Of the bill
are:
l. Automatic sprinkler SyS-
TENS would be required in all
public and private schools.
nursing or convaleScent homes
and hospitals in the District.
2. The schools, hospitals and
nursing homes would be re.
uuired to install fire boxes In

Most schools. hospitals and
nursing homes currently lack
sprinkler systems as well as
inside fire boxes.
The District school system

million program to install
sprinklers in 54 schools built
before l946. Installation is
scheduled for the first five
schools this summer.

Prince Georges in the new con-
greSsional district.
The Howard delegate said he
had to ask that his county be
invited to a meeting in Gov.
Tawes' office when the ad-
ministration bill was given final
approval. He said he believed
the meeting upstairs lin the
Governors office was to veri-
fly what already had been de-
termined" rather than to for
mulate a redistricting plan.

Some Ties Cited
Mr.. SaSScer said that Howard
County does have ties with
Prince Georges. He said water

counties and that they have
long been joined with Prince
Georges in the 5th congress

The administration bill

out an amendment which the

had tackled on to the bill.
The amendment would have
removed Howard County from

bill, the district will be COM

Howard Counties.
Delegates Daniel Murray,
Democrat of Howard, who engi-

The Montgomery County
Council today was being prod
ded by Maryland planners to
tighten up septic tank require
ments in subdivisions not now
reached by sewer lines.
AS a result Of too lenient"
standards, taxpayers are being
put to unnecessary expense to
meet emergencies resulting
from Sewage-flooded Subdivi-
SionS, according to j. Newton
Brewer. jr., vice chairman of
the Maryland-National Capital
Park and Planning CommiS-
sion.
A strongly worded discussion
developed at yesterdays COM
mission meeting in Riverdale
over a relatively minor item of
approving $500 to be matched
by a Federal grant to continue
a soil study program under an
urban planning program.
The request was presented
by DR.. William j. Peoples,
Montgomery County health Of
ficer, backed by George Allen.
senior planning officer for the
commission.
It was DR.. Peoples who said
regulations governing installa-
ton of septic tanks in Subdi-
visions are "too lenient." The
standards are set by the State
department Of health. If an
applicant meets certain pre-
Scribed "percolation tests" a
permit must be granted for a
septic tank, regardless Of what
may be other unfavorable fac
tors, DR.. Peoples said.
Where we get into trouble, "
Mr.. Brewer commented, "is
when q man Is allowed to build
10 houses in an area with no
sewer lines. A man next to
him wants to build 10 more and
so on, until before long you've
got 100 houses in an area
where the ground cannot
stand It."
Mr.. Allen said there are 49,
500 homes In Montgomery, out
side the area serviced by the
Washington Suburban Sani-
tary Commission, utilizing sep
tic tanks. BY 1880. he said, 1t IL
expected there will be 24.00C
