Opening lead; Five of Spades,
Here we have the typical case.
You need one heart trick to
make the game in no-trump.
Should you play the king Ior
the Jack Of hearts from
dummy
You cannot see whether West
has the ace or the queen. If
he has the ace, you must play
the king from dummy; but If
West has the queen. you must
play dummy's Jack.
How do you guess the right
card to play at the bridge table,
when you cannot see all Of the
cards?
] Postpone Guess
Postpone the guess as long as
/ you can. In this case, win the
first spade and run the four
clubs ending in the South
hand. You may find something
out in the meantime.
If West is a very naive de-
fender. he may throw the eight
of hearts and then the deuce Of
hearts to tell the world at large
that he has the ace. If a crafty
defender did this, you would
disbelieve him. The problem
would not be a sheer guess: it
would depend on how shrewdly
you sized up your opponent.
Even If West tries to tell
you nothing, whether true or
false, he may still give him.
self away. West cannot afford
to discard a spade. for then you
can afford to guess wrong in
hearts: you will lose only two
hearts and two spades. West
may fear to discard diamond
because you have bid the suit.
But West may be unhappy also
about discarding hearts.
If West has the ace Of hearts,
he can discard two low hearts
without feeling any pain. But
If West has the queen Of hearts,
he may be afraid to discard
even one heart. If West does
his discarding with a carefree
air, play him for the ace of
hearts: but If West acts like
soul in torment, play him for
the queen Of hearts.
Against shrewd opponents you
will sometimes guess wrong no
matter how clever you are, but
your record will be far better
than the so per cent that you
would expect If you were just
guessing all the time.

Alvey Trial Due
In January

BALTIMORE, Nov. "a (AP)
United States Attorney Jo-
seph D. Tydings says the kid
nap trial of Joseph H. Alvey
probably will not begin before
the end of January.
Mr.. Tydings said tentative
dates for the start of the trial
were January % or %. The
date of December IL was men
toned as a possible beginning
for the trial when Alvey was
arraigned last week.
But Mr.. Tydings said De-
Tense Counsel j. Carl Hill will
not be able to try the case
then and asked for a delay.
Motions were expected to be
filed and heard by a Federal
judge in mid-December.
Alvey, Al. is accused of kid
mapping Mihael j. Condetti, Z
of Washington. for immoral
purposes and transporting him
across State lines on Novem-
Der IA, 1860.
Michael disappeared while
walking from his home to a

:ChiIIum Road
Group Asks
Sidewalks

Residents Of the Chillum
road area of Prince Georges
County have renewed their APP
peal for construction of side
walks.
: They are particularly con-
cerned with the section be-
tween Riggs road and Sargent
road where a 6-year-old boy
was injured by a car last
month.
THE Eighth Precinct Civic
Association, which serves the
community, has moved to make
another request to the county
commissioners to provide side
walks. They made a similar re-
quest last February.
OF special concern to the as
ISOLATION, headed by Michael
Maloney, are the youngsters
who must walk along the busy
roadway going to and from St.
Johns Parochial School.
The county commissioners
have agreed to pay part of the
costs whenever Chillum road is
reconstructed.
John H. Marburger, director
of the county's department of
public works, said it would be
economically unfeasible to
build sidewalks before the
Street is rebuilt and said that
the latter job is up to the
Maryland State Roads Commits
sion.
Mr.. Marburger noted that
the county has provided side
walks in other areas after road
projects were completed, citing
Riggs road, New Hampshire
avenue and Largo road as ex-
aInpleS.
The SRC has no immediate
plans for reconstructing Chill
lum road and has indicated
that it may be five years OF
so before that is done.

Democratic gubernatorial
candidate George P. Mahoney
said yesterday Gov. Tawes is
going to try to use the teach
ers of Maryland as a political
football in the coming cam
paign.
Mr.. Mahoney, in a statement
released to the press, said
AT his press conference Tues
day Gov. TaWes again
referred to the teachers of
Maryland as a pressure group"
Il consider that the Cover
nor has already done meal
culable harm by his previous
smears. My greatest concern
at present is that this will de-
mean the teachers in the eyes
of the children. thus doing
serious damage to our entire
educational program.
ITS high time a halt was
called to Mr.. Tawes' vicious
caStigation of an honorable
profession. We need our teach
ers too badly today to have
their morale destroyed because
Gov. Tawes needs a whipping
boy.
IF his plan succeeds, it will
destroy the effective work
which has been done by the
PTA groups as WE'LL" Mr.. Ma
honey said.
The Baltimore County con-
tractor said he would call the
Governor to account each and
every time he was guilty of
this Misrepresentation be-
tween now and election day"

Administrator Charles NJ.

The nurse call system is de-

There's not a bare cinder

A new feature of the institu-

final acceptance.
The hospital has started a
voluntary program to save
more than $4,000 in readying

have pledged 10000 man hours
in a project known as Opera

making regular visits to the
makeshift centers lending what
ever aid they could in an attempt

cation.
Friends Places so Children
Mrs. Baker told the group that
the American Friends Service
Rad been successful in finding so
families in Prince Edward Coun-

child from each family to a
Northern home where they could
attend school on desegregated
base, and a correspondent num-

agreed to take these children into
their homes.
Some of these families in the
North are white and some are
