South's play at the first trick

the ace Of spades and lived to

Whenever South went after
the clubs, West took the ace of
clubs and led his other spade.
Thereupon East could take four
spade tricks TO defeat the con-

DINING OU7 7
By JOHN M. ROSSON
Silence Is Golden

Many a diner-out will tole-
rate shortcomings when going
to q restaurant, but seldom
If ever-when the faults involve
the food.
Ask any established restau-
rateur what his secret Of sue
cess is and chances are he'll
tell you:
"The serving of good food. II
your food is good-really good
you don't have to push it. II
will sell itself-decor. walters
and location Notwithstanding"
There are a number Of illu-
strations of this In and around
the District, most Of them
found among the numerous res
taurants that have been in
business for years.
You seldom hear them sing
ing their own praises, and they
never resort to gimmicks-like
inviting Miss Creppe Suzette to
drop by a party being given
for the press.
On a day-to-day basis 1t al
ways comes down to: How good
is the food?"
Some of these bashful but
noteworthy restaurants can be
missed by diners who live and
work outside their general
neeighborhoods. But they GO
right on enjoying great success
One such is Jack Hunts, at
1743 Pennsylvania avenue
NV, near the Roger Smith
Hotel.
Day after day-and 1t dates
back to 1946-Jack Hunts has
served such distinguished din
ers-out as former Presidents
Vice Presidents, Attorneys Gen
eral, Senators, Representatives
and last but not least, count
less Government workers in the
White House area.
Mr.. Hunt, himself q quiet
man, doesn't need ballyhoo. He
serves good food, principally
Seafood.
The Jack Hunt decor Is pleas
antly simple, with emphasis on
comfort and a motif best de-
scribed as pleasantly rustic.
First you enter the raw bar
where the tables are covered
with crisp red-and-white check
cred tablecloths.
To the right is another room,
added to the raw bar in 1855.
This is dominated by paneled
walls and signed 81 bills-the
autographs ranging from for
mer President Truman and the
late Vice President Barkley to
Ballplayer Chuck Stobbs. One
former Secretary Of the Treas
ury signed a souvenir bill q Sec
ond time-just for Mr.. Hunt.
There is a third room, this
one to the rear of the raw bar,
and added in 1852. Believed to
have once been a carriage house,
1t is dominated by walnut
stained latticed walls ;, and q
beamed ceiling. Subdued light
ing makes it. intimate and re-
laxed, undoubtedly the most at
tractive Of the three rooms.

County, Md, can usually be

This is only one line out oi
an act, but it's a symptom oi
Mr.. JeSsel's major trouble. He
and good taste are not on the
best Of terms.
AS Abe (Jessel isn't the only
Presidential name dropper)

note nor long remember what
I say here. Jessel admirers are
free to little note and soon
forget this report. If you know
him only by reputation as the
witty "toastmaster general
however. don't seek him out
with hopes high.
Funny thing is that Mr.. Jes-
sci, in a couple of brief off
stage encounters, has always
seemed an urbane and charm
ing fellow. That spotlight must
be the potion that works a real
Jessel-Hyd switch.
HAPPIER NOTE - There's
one thing about the Blue Room

in good humor. Her name is
Dolores Leigh. She is not pre-
cisely statuesque, as advance

quite enough of her and it has
been tastefully assembled. Most
Importantly, she has a creamy
double-rich voice that falls be-
guilingly on the ear and she
can belt out a song. She does
handsomely by such things as
Cry Me a River" Heat Wave

SEC Suspension
Is Surprise for
ARC Officials

The Securities and Exchange
Commission order suspending
trading in Atlantic Research
Corp. stock for a Today period
came as a complete surprise 10
company officials, a spokesman
said last night.
1.-The company has widely
distributed annual and semi
annual figures and has fur
nished reports TO shareholders
regularly since the public Of
fering was made in June, 1889"
the statement to the press de-
clared.
These figures were uni
formly reported on the same
accounting basis each year and
copies of shareholders reports
have been furnished the COM
mission without objection from
them until very recently.
LAS stated by the commits
sion, this mater does not in
volve the solvency of the COM
pany. AS a matter of fact,
sales and profits in August
were the highest for any month
in the company's history, sales
being at an annual rate OF
around $40 million"
The marked discrepancy be-
tween the earnings report to
stockholders and the financial
statement filed with the SEC
was attributed inclusion of re-
suits from subsidiaries in the
latter statement.

Russia will, of course, be able
to replace the ships. But it'll
be far more expensive, far

for her to push the Cuban build

The Science Bureau reported
80 science oriented firms estab-

Albert D. Biderman, repre-

of graduates here who can be
groomed as senior scientists by
