An unpleasant aspect of the
Carpenter = Schirra substitution
is the personal embarrassment
it piles on Comdr. Schirra, a
dedicated, highly competent
pilot. There is no question that
when the first two orbital teams
were announced, it was stated
explicitly that the backup pilot
for a particular mission would
take over if the primary pilot
washed out. Thus, it would

ExpressWuys
In Cities
DepIored

Building expressways into
the heart Of cities is a "trag-
edy' many American commune
ties will regret, a Canadian Of
ficial believes.
Jules Archambault. chief
engineer for the Montreal
Transport Commission, blames
the tendency to overemphasize
highways on the availability OF
highway funds and the absence
of funds for rapid-rail transit,
Mr.. Archambault, here for a
session yesterday Of the InSti-
tute of Rapid Transit, said
Montreal three weeks age
started a 21-mile system Of rail
transit designed to be COM
pleted in Az years.
Montreal'S population ap-
proximateS Washington's, and
its growth. likewise. is at about
that of the Washington rate.
C. Darwin Stolzenbach, ad-
ministrator of the National
Capital Transportation Agen-
cy, told a session that rail
transit for Washington could
halve the eventual need for so
additional expressway lanes
into the city by 1880, or reduce
this construction by as much
as three fourths, if such a total
reduction was considered to be
advisable.
Another Washington speaker
said many current city trans
portation plans have been out
dated by recent developments
and changing viewpoints.

Somerset Appeal
Of Store Zoninu
Decision Fails

Citizens of Somerset suffered
another legal defeat yesterday
as the Maryland Court of APP
peals upheld lower court de-
cisions and allowed rezoning of
land on Wisconsin avenue for
a Washington branch of Saks
Fifth Avenue department store.
The Town of Somerset and
81 individuals who live in the
area have fought for a year
to upset a ruling of the County
Council which rezoned the site
from residential to commercial
classification.
The New York department
store hopes to construct a $2.5
million establishment on the
site just north of the Chevy
Chase shopping center.
The opposing property own
ers tried to get the council to
reconsider the decision, and,
failing that, took the matter to
County Circuit Court last
November. The Circuit Court
refused to allow an appeal of
the councils action.

Opening lead: Jack of spades.
South won the first spade
with the queen and led the nine
of diamonds for a finesse. East
did his best by refusing to win
the trick and fortunately this
effort was enough to defeat the
contract.
South continued with an
other diamond and this time
East won with the queen. Now
dummy's diamonds were dead.
South could get to dummy just
once, with the ace of hearts.
This would enable him to lead
a diamond to set up the suit
but he would never get back to
dummy to take the rest of the
diamonds.
If East had taken the first
diamond trick, South would
have made the contract with
ease. South would win any re-
turn and lead his other dia-
mond, continuing the suit from
dummy if East refused the
trick. The suit would set up,
and the ace of hearts would
serve as entry to the rest of
the diamonds.
Not Dead
Even after East's correct de-
tense South was not quite dead.
There was a way to make the
contract, but South didn't
guess it.
South actually played for the
six missing hearts to break 3-3.
This would allow him to de.
velop his ninth trick in hearts.
1t was South's best chance as
long as he couldn't see all OF
the cards. ~
The winning play is to give
up a club trick and then cash
all of the top cards. This re-
duces East to one club and
two diamonds. East is put n
with his last club and must
eventually give dummy a dia-
mond trick.
If South is lucky enough to
find this line of play, more
power to him. The odds are very
high that East will defeat the
contract by refusing the first
diamond trick.
