SHEINWOLD
ON BRIDGE
Solve Problem
Once for All
BY ALFRED SHENWOLD

One Of the commonest prob
lens in bridge is what to do
when the opponents hold the
king and jack Of a key suit.
It pays to work out the best
play once for all so that you
don't have to go into an
agonized trance at the table
whenever you meet the prob
lem.

INT Pass 3NT All pass
Opening lead: Jack Of clubs.
South won the opening lead
with the ace Of clubs, led a
diamond to the ace and re-
turned q diamond. East played
low, and South had to choose
between the queen and ten of
diamonds.
This situation Is not always
a problem against weak op-
ponents. East may play in
such a way as to reveal what
he has in diamonds. Strong
opponents will avoid telltale
hesitation.
Consider All Cases
You can work out the best
percentage play by consider
ing all cases. You have already
seen three small diamonds,
and the only missing cards are
the king, jack and one small
card.
If West has both the king
and jack, no play will help
you.
If West has XXX or J-x, you
must guess whether to play the
queen or ten. The odds are
even, so that In the long run
you will tend to break even
whether you play the queen,
the ten, or sometimes one and
sometimes the other.
II West has the unguarded
jack left in his hand, you gain
by playing the queen.
In all other cases you gain
by playing the ten. These in
clude the unguarded king in
the West hand, the missing
small card in the West hand,
and the case Of no diamonds
at all in the West hand.
It's easy to see that the ten
is the percentage play.
Daily Question

club. Your partner overcalls
with one heart, and the next
player passes. You hold:

Answer: Bid two hearts
Game is very unlikely, but the
raise costs you nothing and
may interfere with the bidding
of the other side.

PARIS, Aug. 26.-Balen-
Balenciaga, one Of the most
powerful influences in fash
ions, gave new hope yesterday
to women who don't want to
buckle into tight-fitting
clothes.
In his month-late press
opening, the shy Spanish
style setter loftily ignored
the figure clutching creations
which most of the earlier
openings endorsed.
Keeping his hemlines just
below the knee, Balenciaga
stuck with an easy line, semi
fitted in front and loose in
back at the waistline. His
trim. neat suits and dresses
were untrammeled with the
spiral and diagonal draper
les that most of the competi-
ton favored.
Balenciaga'S influence is
such that his lone stand for
a comfortable semi-fit means
that women who so wish can
safely ignore the major
trends that were set during
the big autumn and winter
season at the end Of July.
Buyers who saw his show
nearly a month ago praised

Transformation
For the evening of Septem-
ber 19, Tregaron, now unfur-
nished and unused, will be
transformed by a Hollywood
"Set-dreSser" into a Wash
ington party scene.
In its day, Tregaron was
the scene of many fabulous
parties given by the onetime
Ambassador to Russia. It is
Scenically located on a hill
top section in Rock Creek
Park.
Among those who will be
on hand for this event is

and shocking pink. One num-
ber was a two-foot tall CHM
ney-brush effect in black
tulle. A glazed leather shall
low basin was carelessly
dented.
Several suits were made in
suede, and others had suede
tie belts. A short boa was
made of clippings of dark red
suede. One coat came in
printed pony fur, and a re-
versible model had civet fur
on one side and kid leather
on the other.
Jackets were mostly top
of-the-hip level. Skirts, in
stead of flarings, were lightly
gathered in front, or had a
loose flat panel in front or in
the back. Collarless jackets
were worn with scarves.

Dior'S Marc Bohan may
very well be out on a limb
with his glove-tight Charm

than any other designer.
Balenciaga also uses little
brown, the big early hit of
the season. He prefers black,
blue, mustard and dark curry

ago this was the dominant
opinion among most influential
Army and Navy officers.
The administration is con-
vinced, however, that STRAIT
egy must be successful not only
before a war but during and
after a war. Since nuclear war
is not impossible-one could
start through accident or IRA
tional acts, If not through de-
liberate choice-the strategy
must help deter war, must in
crease the chances Of stopping
the enemy during the war,
must hold down civilian casu-
alties and must leave the coun-
try in a position to recover
after the war.
| 1t is felt that the new STRAIT
egy best meets these require
mentS.
! Although the switch has
been agreed to, there are still
internal Pentagon disputes over
the proper numbers and types
of weapons needed to carry 1t
out. The Air Force wants more
weapons, particularly more
bombers, than the civilians are
willing to approve at the mo-
ment.
For the first time in five
years. however. the three serv-
ices and the civilians are argu-
ing over numbers only, not over
basic strategic theories.

STRATEGY
u. S. War Plan Shift

Soviet lives of the old strategy
and proposed alternatives.
When the new administra'
ton took office in January tht
study was being discussed b!
many Air Force officers and by
a handful of civilian analysts
who had access to such mate,
rial.
One of the oificers-Gen
Curtis E. lie May-became ali
chief of staff this year, ant
several of the civilians WERE
given key assignments in thu
new administration. Among
them, in the Pentagon, were
Controller Charles J. Hitch
and Assistant Secretary of De,
fense Paul H. Mite.
Mr.. Mcnamara himself asked
to see the study shortly afteI
he was sworn in as Secretar!
of Defense.
Mr.. Mcnamara saw the no
city strategy as a means tt
achieve fleXibility in nuclea,
war. He-and President Ken
nedy as we'll were disturbed
by the lack of options in tn
existing strategy. If a nucleal
war started, even in an acci
dent which both sides haC
sought TO avoid, this country
was geared to devaState RuSSis
and the Russians to reply il
kind.
The new strategy not only
rejects automatic city-busting
but it also sees the possibility
of innumerable varieties O

wars. 1t takes warfare back tt
