Donkey Is Known

donkey when they see one, but
this isn't enough to satisfy the
true donkey. He let's out a

notice.

Opening lead: Queen of clubs.
West opened the queen of
clubs, and South won with the
king. He wasn't overjoyed to
be in q slam with so NANCY q
trump suit, but there was little
he could do about 1t at this
stage.
The slam seemed to depend
on Q "a break of the four miss
ing trumps, but there was a
slight extra chance. South
tried for it by leading the ten
Of spades at the second trick.
West automatically covered
with the jack Of spades, and
dummy won with the king.
When East dropped the nine
Of spades South wondered
whether or not he had trapped
West into making a foolish
play.
Two Possibilities
There were two possibilities.
If East had started with the
singleton nine Of spades, West
had made q foolish play.
South could now lead another
trump through West to finesse
through the Q-5 and thus
avoid the loss of a trump
trick.
The other possibility was
that West had started with
only J-5 Of trumps and that
East had started with Q-9. In
this case, West had made
a very fine play to give South
the chance to go wrong.
South didn't say q word. but
returned to his hand with q
diamond and led the eight of
spades through West.
The pressure was too much
for West. What an idiot I
am" he confessed ruefully.
Then he turned to South and
asked: Would you have let the
ten ride If I hadn't covered
with the jack?"
"Of course" South affirmed.
Why tell q donkey that he has
given himself away?

Answer: Pass. Your dia-

he believes a strict" rather
than a liberal, application OF
the act is advisable.
The District Commissioners
apparently have not wished to
become involved in a suit over
the scope of the act.
The Fine Arts Commissions
position is that without sup
port from the Commissioners
that would result in a court

Chairman Finley expresses
the arts commissions view
point in these words:
"The emphasis in the act

IF this position is not in

Fine Arts would be glad to
have the act construed by the

Such Qualification would

A storm is brewing over what
members of the Fine Arts Com
mission consider to be "in-
creasingly serious vandalism"
involving Georgetown architec-
tural treasures. ..
So many old houses are be-
ing torn down against the COM
missions advice that members
are convinced this Washington
neighborhood is being irrepar-
ably damaged.
The central issue in the de-
veloping showdown is the lack
of support given by previous
District Commissioners to the
fine arts agency's efforts to
maintain Georgetown's archi-
tectural character.
In not a single instance over
the last 10 years has the arts
commission been upheld in dis
approving the demolition of a
building.

group have made no secret of

vented from carrying out the

But it is obligated to carry
out directions If Congress and

to be based upon a clear under

necessary, to settle any doubts
as to the scope of the Old
