L'Affaire Bui," which
threatened to reach inter-
national proportions yester-
day seems to have simmered
down today to statements
over whether or not Presi-
dent and Mrs. Kennedy were
trying to lure the chef Of the
French Embassy in London
to Washington.
The chef himself, Bui Van
Han, says they were. But
Mrs. Kennedy's social secre-
tary, Letitia c"Tish") Bald
ridge says it was all a mis-
understanding.
The news that the White
House was trying to lure the
Vietnamese chef to Washing
ton caused q hostess here to
remark, How could they!
That's like asking for Mona
Lisa for the Red Room"
Offer Was Made
Last night Andrew Hatcher,
assistant White House press
secretary, said the White
House had confirmed that an
offer was made to Bui in De-
cember. He said a friend Of
the Kennedys, not Miss Bald
ridge, had heard that he
was coming to the United
States, and suggested they
explore this rumor. How
ever" said Mr.. Hatcher, "the
White House found that he
was not coming" He added,
"the only contact Miss
Baldridge had with the chef
was to write him in French
and to thank him for his
interest"
When reporters asked Mr..
Hatcher If former AmbaSsa-
dor to London John Hay
Whitney had recommended
the chef, he said, that is
not true" He added that
q source close to the White
House had mentioned the
chef and that after the in
auguration Miss Baldrige had
written the chef saying the
White House staff was quite
adequate. Princess Stanislas
Radziwill, Mrs. Kennedy'S sis
ter, lives in London and
travels the social circuit
there.
FurOr Confusing
In the meantime. Pedro
Udo, present head chef at
the White House, found all
of the furor confusing.
When asked If he had
heard about Bui, he said, Il
know nothing about it and I
cannot give you any informa-
ton about him"
Mr.. Udo, went to the White
House in 1857 after the then
chef. Francois Rysavy. re-
tired and wrote a book about
his experiences in the White
House. Mr.. Rysavy is now
in Hollywood. Mr.. Udo. a
Filipino, had retired from
the Navy after % years serv-
ice. his last aboard the
Yosemite.
The Eisenhower White
House staff, looking for a
chef, went to the Navy and
after q careful search noted

He was called to the White
House and offered the job OF
meat chef. He later became
head chef.

Opening lead: Spade queen.
How should you play this
hand to make four hearts?
Should you try a straight fl
neSSe or a roundabout swindle?
One method is to win the
first trick with the ace of
spades and lead q diamond to
finesse the ten from your hand.
II this fineSse works, you will
be sure of two diamond tricks,
enough for your contract.
Another method is to run six
trumps after winning the first
spade trick. Then lead the king
Of diamonds and hope that the
jack of diamonds will drop.
Many an opponent will unguard
the jack of diamonds under the
impression that his spades or
clubs are more valuable.
Either method may work. I
would recommend the straight
finesse against expert oppo-
nentS, and the squeeze against
weaker players. No guarantee
goes with either attempt. but
either gives you a reasonable
chance.
The one sure way to go down
is to let the opponents in on
your secrets. Lead q diamond
from the dummy at the second
trick and then go into a trance
while you make UP your mind
whether or not to finesse the
ten.
If you do this and then play
the king Of diamonds, the op-
ponentS will know just what
they must save to defeat you.

600 from the previous year.
Deputy Chief Liverman said
the drop was due to "educa-

The report showed 1874
courtesy parking tickets were
issued last year. These tickets,
designed for visitors, carry no
fines. There we're 1858 cour-
tesy tickets issued the year

He noted that because there

He cited one instance when

Deputy Liverman also felt
that the city's larger number of
tourists who seek adjustments
for violations of unfamiliar
regulations added considerably
to the total.
He said he did not consider

total of 392,074 parking tickets

was far below the Offices high
