Opening lead: Nine of clubs.
When this hand came along
in the national tournament q
few weeks ago, West led the
nine of clubs against my part
ner's contract Of four spades.
Declarer put up the king of
clubs from dummy in a shrewd
attempt to panic East into
taking the ace at once. If East
took the ace of clubs and re-
turned the suit. hoping the lead
was a singleton. nothing would
come Of it. Declarer would win
and lead trumps. He would
lose only the two black aces.
East thought about playing
the ace Of clubs but decided
against it. Instead. he sig
nailed encouragement by play
ing the seven of clubs.
Gets Ruff
Declarer played trumps at
once, but West got his ruff. He
took the ace Of trumps and led
his other club. East took the
ace of clubs and returned a
club for West to ruff. thus
holding us to 10 tricks.
In a rubber bridge game this
trick would be quite unimpor-
tant, but in a tournament the
extra trick often makes a con-
siderable difference. II we had
been ambitious enough to bid
five spades instead of only four,
the trick would have meant
going down instead Of making
the contract.
Perhaps you noticed that
both declarer and East assumed
that Vests opening lead was
the top Of a doubleton rather
than a singleton. Either was
possible, and there was no good
evidence to point in either d.
rection. South and East both
went on the principle that
there are more doubletons than
singletons. Extreme suit breaks
are less common than fairly
even suit breaks. When In
doubt. play for the usual rather
than the unusual situation.

crat of Arkansas, committee
chairman, said he has al
present no idea when the COM
mittee will be able to get to
the unemployment insurance
proposals. He said he expects
to open hearings on the health
plan by the middle of July.
Could Avoid Delay
Some observers noted that
Mr.. Kennedy did not propose in
his suggestions to Congress
any unemployment insurance
changes effective before mid
1862, so that action early next
year would not necessarily de-
lay his timetable.
Most of Mr.. Kennedy's pro-
posalS wouldn't go into effect
for several years. some not until
1868. The long-range character
OF his program-broadest sug-
geSted by any administration
since the insurance system was
established in Franklin D.
Roosevelt's New Deal-indi-
Gated few of the currently un-
employed could benefit from
the plan.
The Kennedy provisions con-
template a thorough overhaul
program to give jobless workers
more money for longer periods
of time.
The aim appeared to be to
Evening star., 1961-06-14

shore up the system for any
future economic downtrends.
Additional Benefits
The first portions to go into
effect, if Congress agrees with
the administration proposals,
would be to make permanent
the present temporary recession
system of giving workers an ad-
ditional 13 weeks Of unemploy-
ment benefits on top of the
regular State beenfits they
draw.
Other changes-all starting
in 1964-would bring some 3.5
million more workers into the
system, increase benefits on a
sliding scale that would reach
a maximum after January /,
1868, and increase employer
taxes.
Several of tn proposals, judg-
ing by past debates on the is
sues, will be hard-fought. Long
hearings and commoittee dis
cussionS appear inevitable. The
mandatory increase in benefits
under the State-Federal system
raises the issues of imposing
Federal standards in an area
heretofore left to State deter
mination. In the past. such Sug-
gestions have been opposed by
i a number Of State officials as
well as businessmen.

With Police 81 Years

Deputy Chief Robert S. Bry-
anti who acquired a long string
of concentrations for out
standing work in 81 years with
the Metropolitan Police Depart
'ment, will retire July 81.

made news in 1880 when he
was commended for overpower-
ing a prisoner who had danger
ously wounded a policeman in
an alley gun battle.
A year later, Deputy Bryant
received the coveted gold medal
for daring and extraordinary
police ability in the pursuit
and capture of a felon after a
gun battle in the vicinity of
First and L streets NV, in
which another officer was
wounded.
He was assigned as a pre-
cinct detective to the detective
bureau in 1895, and promoted
to lieutenant in 1943, when he
headed the sex squad. He
served as captain and second
