Opening lead: Queen of clubs.
1t seems like only yesterday
that the Melancholy Dane
played this hand in the Elsi-
more Mixed Pair Championship.
Ophelia led the queen of clubs
from the West hand, and Ham
let started to talk to himself.
ITO signal, or not to signal, %
Hamlet muttered. And out
came the ten Of clubs from his
hand.
Polonius, playing the South
hand, snickered into his beard
and allowed Ophelia to hold the
trick with the queen of clubs.
The poor girl knew that some
thing namely her partner) was
rotten in the state of Denmark,
but in those days a girl who
said such things had a hard
time getting mixed pair dates.
THE best IN silence" she
thought to herself, and she
switched to a spade. Dummy
won, and Polonius got to his
hand with a heart to try the
diamond finesse.
Out Of Joint
Hamlet took the queen of
diamonds and returned q club
to declarer's jack. Polonius
knocked out the ace of dia-
monds and still had a club
stopper. MY Things out Of
joint" Hamlet declared, as he
conceded the contract.
Hamlet made his mistake in
talking instead Of acting at the
first trick. There was no adj
vantage in telling his partner
about the good clubs in his
hand. He had already said
enough about that in the bid
ding, and it couldn't help her
to hear it again.
Hamlet should have put UP
the king of clubs at the first
trick. If South held off, Ham
let would be in the lead and
could continue with the ten of
clubs. AS a result, he could
set up and run his long clubs
before declarer could bring in
the diamonds.
Hamlet saw this when it was
too late. 1.-THE plays the king!"
he declared.
(There was q fellow named
Shakespeare reporting the tour
nament for another paper, but
he misread his shorthand the
next day and got many of the

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y,
Oct. 2 (AP).-The new Syrian
government took today what
United Nations officials re-
garded as a first step toward
application for membership in
the q. N.
AU. N. spokesman said Pre-
mier Mamoun Kuzbari. head of
the new Syrian regime, ad-
dressed a communication to
Mongi Slim, of Tunisia, presi-
dent of the U. N. Assembly,
saying his government intends
to adhere to the principles Of
the U. N. Charter.
The spokesman said this
could be regarded as a pre-
liminary to application for
U. N. membership.
Syria was a member of the
United Nations until it merged
with the United Arab Republic
in 1858. Since then President
Nasser's government has repre-
sented both areas, with Syrians
and Egyptians serving on the
UAR's Assembly delegation, but
with Egyptians taking the lead

60-MPH Winds
Are Reported

SAN JUAN. P. r., Oct. 2
(AP) Frances, the seasons
small but blustery sixth tropical
storm, spun closer to hurricane
strength today in westward
course through the Caribbean.
A, hurricane watch was in
effect for Puerto Rico and the
Dominican Republic.
Residents of Puerto Rico's
rain-swept south and east coasts
were advised to be ready for
quick action in case of flooding
A noon advisory Of the
Weather Bureau at San Juan
assessed Frances peak winds
at go miles an hour. Gales blew
so miles north and 20 miles
south of the center, which was
moving west at 10 m PHI. from
a spot near latitude 1853 north,
longitude 66.6 west.
That was $50 miles south
southwest of San Juan. The
Puerto Rico city is 1000 miles
southeast of Miami, Fla.
Some intensification was
looked for in the succeeding %
hours.
Many hurricanes veer north
between Puerto Rico and the
Dominican Republic. Whether
Frances would do that was moi
certain. A continuation of i1el
westward course would take ths
tropical storm past the Domini'
can Republic and well to the
south Of it.

BY DAVID LANCASHIRE
Associated Press staff Writer

BEIRUT. Lebanon, Oct. a.
E Egyptian n broadcasts today
called on the Syrian people to
revolt against their revolution
ary regime and President Mas
ser declared the Syrians now
are fighting to save their
unity"
Ignoring denials from Da-
mascus that fighting against
the rebel regime is taking place.
Mr.. Nasser declared in speech
at a student rally in Cairo:
1.-The Syrian people who
struggled against all forms of
imperialism will never give the
exploiters a chance to rule"
But Mr.. Nasser conceded a
setback in Syria that might set
off a chain of treason through
out the Arab nations" He
blamed mistakes, conceit and
trickery for the success of the
revolt.
Kuzbari Acts Quickly =
AS Cairo opened up on the
four-day-old regime that broke
away from Mr.. Nasser's United
Arab Republic, Syrian Premier
Mamoun Kuzbari moved swiftly
to rid Syria of Nasser influence.
The Syrian government ap-
peared firmly in control but
Mr.. Kuzbari was taking no
chances. He banned all dem
onstrations, closed all schools
and universities, extended the
curfew, and outlawed the Sy-
rian branch of the Nasser Ma
tional Union Party.
An American traveller, arriv-
ing here from Damascus, said
the Syrian capital appears en-
thusiastic about last weeks

the ordinary people will say
a word against Nasser. Nasser

/ The UAR President broke
off diplomatic relations with
Jordan and Turkey-the first
two countries to recognize the
Syrian rebel regime. He charged
them with a hostile attitude" :"
Warning to Other Nations
The move was interpreted in
Cairo as a warning to other
nations against according rec

ernment.

New Lightning Guard
Protects Capitol Dome

A new lightning protection
system has been added to the
Capitol dome to prevent
another accident like last years

were knocked from the south
east corner of the House wing.
Capitol Architect J. George
Stewart, in whose office the

Before the marble came
tuEnbling down on August 10,

Freedom Statue atop the dome
was believed to provide ade-
quate protection. Mr.. Stewart
said.

Thompson Lightning Protec-
ton Engineers of Minneapolis

contract. The firms engineers
believe the lightning bounced
from the dome to cause last
years damage.
They say that can't happen
now. Four heavy stranded, lead
coated copper cables have beer
fixed to the metal dome and
grounded. The system provides
four paths Of least resistance
for lightning to travel harm

The Supreme Court today an
nounced the end of a 63-year-
old tradition by setting the
opening Of It's sessions at 10 am.
each Monday.
Since 1898. the court has
opened at noon.
Chief Justice Warren, after
opening the 1861 term today,
said that beginning next Mon
day. the court will begin its work
at 10 am, access for a half
hour lunch period at noon and
hold an afternoon session from
1880 to 2:30.
The habit Of years overcame
the court crier. AS the court
adjourned, the crier announced
it would reconvene at noon next
Monday. He hastily corrected
himself.
Pattern Since 1898
Until today, the court had
begun It's work at noon. recessed
for lunch from Q to 2:30 and
continued until 4::30. This had
been the pattern since 1898, ex-
cept that the court held its con-

when conferences were changed
to Fridays with arguments Mon
day through Thursday.
From 1873 to 1898 the court
had held sessions from noon to

Wider Trust
Control Urged
Penalties Asked
At Senate Hearing

The Federal Trade Commits
sion's chief urged the Senate
Antitrust Subcommittee today
to recommend heavy penalties
against officers OF corporations
as well as the companies them
selves on conviction of rig
ging bids or falsely denying
collusion.
Chairman Paul Rand Dixon's
Endorsement of a proposed bill
requiring such non-collusion
affidavitS caused Senator
Hruska, Republican Of Ne
braskz, 70 protest at what hs
called getting hysterical in an
effort to put somebody in tail.'
The bill, one of five spon-
sored by Subcommittee Chair
man Kefauver, Democrat Of
Tennessee, would fix q maxi
mum penalty of one year In
prison and a 100000 fine or
conviction Of individual direc-
tors, officers or agents who
authorized or ratified" any
bid rigging. 1t also would re-
quire filing of affidavits de-
claring that the bid did moi
result from collusion.
Asks Clearer Wording
Senator Hruska warned that
the wording of the affidavit
requirement would make q
"scapegoat" of any top official
who In good faith filed a state
ment denying rigged bids ano
learned later that subordinates
engaged in such a practice. He
urged that the language be
clarified to apply to officials
who knowingly" filed false af-
fadvits.
The lively discussion between
the Nebraska Senator and Mr.
Dixon occurred as the SUBJ
committee resumed hearings or
the Kefauver bills designed tt
tighten antitrust laws and i'm
pose stricter penalties. Senator
Kefauver said he hoped this
and other hearings during the
congressional recess woulo
speed action on the measure
when Congress re-convenes ir
January.
Vigorous Critic
Another witness today
Charles w. Gasque, jr., AS.
sistant Commissioner for Pro.
curement Policy of the Genera
Service Administration, told tht
subcommittee he believed the
bill dealing with non-collusior
affidavits did not go far enough
He said it ought to cover ever,
Government contract above
$4,000 instead of purchases oi
more than $4,000.
Mr.. Gasque has been a Wig
orous critic of identical bid
received from ostensibly com
peting firms seeking Govern
ment contracts.
