SHEINWOLD
ON BRIDGE
Bridge Players
Full of Larceny
BY ALFRED SHEINWOLD

I hate to blow the whistle
on my own people. but the fact
is that most bridge players are
full Of larceny. They like moth
ing better than a trick they're
not entitled to. Fortunately for
those Of us who like stories
with q moral. larceny some
times loses.

Opening lead: Deuce Of clubs.
West led the deuce Of clubs,
and South chuckled to himself.
South hadn't bid his clubs. and
West had led from Q-J-8-2 or
perhaps from Q-J-9-2. What a
patsy that West player vast
So South stepped UP with
dummy's 10 of clubs, hoping to
win the trick. That would en-
able him to snicker right in
Vests silly face.
Mind you, we don't have to
agree with South's reasoning.
West would have led the queen
If he had Q-J-9-2 of clubs, and
he might have led the queen
from Q-J-8-2. If West had any
other holding there was no adj
vantage in playing dummy's 10.
Loses Trick
AS 1t happened, there was q
disadvantage. South lost a trick
by playing the ten Of clubs
from dummy.
East covered with the Jack,
and South won with the ace.
Declarer led q trump to East's
ace, and back came the queen
of clubs. South could not gain
by ducking. so he played the
ace. West ruffed, and South
later lost two more club tricks.
Down one.
See the difference II declarer
plays q low club from dummy
at the first trick. East's eight
forces out declarer's king, and
a trump then goes to the ace.
East now returns the queen
of clubs, and South ducks. This
play saves the contract. II East
continues with q low club,
South can play low to let dunn
my's ten make West ruff. If
East continues with the Jack Of
clubs. South can play the ace
and win q later trick with
dummy's ten. Either way, South
is sure of two club tricks, and
the contract is therefore safe.

The House Committee on

have learned the futility Of in

wild laughter from the packed
house, that 1t was trying "to
determine the extent Of Com
munist involvement in this
travel" Since the group had
Travelled by way of Prague and
been the guests OF Fidel Castro
for two months, Communist
involvement seemed as obvious
as the fact that there was 60

Nhu turned from smiles to
tears at a news conference to-
day while talking about reports
that the United States might
cut off aid to South Wet Nam,
you have no right to drop
it," she said looking at Ameri-

Diem Will Lift
Martial Low
After II Days

SAIGON, Wet Nam, Sept.
IA (AP).-Students in three
South Wet Namese cities
rioted today against President
Ngo Dinh Diem's regime, re-
liable sources said.
Word that the Schoolboy re-
bellion had spread from Saigon
to the countryside came as Mr..
Diem announced that martial
law throughout South Wet
Nam would end at noon Mon
day, after a 27-day state of
siege. The announcement said
all administrative functions
would revert to civilian agen-
cies.
The sources said 5000 stu
dents in the mountain capital
OF Dalai, lao miles northwest of
Saigon, barricaded themselves
IN four or five high schools in
shouting, brick-throwing
demonstration that was quelled
by armed Wet Namese soldiers.
Smaller demonstrations were
reported in high schools in
Bien Hoa 80 miles north of
Saigon, and Vinh Long in the
MekOng Delta IS miles south
of Saigon.
Hundreds Carried Away
Hundreds of students were
carted away to detention camps
in all three cities informants
said.
Saigon which had been the
scene of dozens of similar DEM
onStrations in the past week,
was reported quiet today as
students again attended classes
under armed guard.
Nearly 5000 school pupils
and university students have
been arrested in Saigon. More
than 1000 were reported still
in detention camps.
Today'S demonstration in
Dalai, Bien Hoa and Vinh Long
were said to be the same pat
tern as the Saigon demonStra-
tionS.
Informants gave this &C.
count:
The students quietly went to
school, then barricaded their
gates and started shouting and
writing slogans on blackboards.
AS troops were rushed to the
scene the students began pelt-
ing them with bricks, inkwells
and chairs. The troops smashed
their way inside and carried
them off in trucks.
Doctors Strike Ends
Reliable sources said a strike
by doctors and internes in four
hospitals run by the Saigon
University faculty of medicine
ended this morning with the
release of a professor and his
wife and daughter who had
been arrested earlier in the
week.
The doctor and interns were
striking for his release.
Martial law went into effect
just before government security
forces raided Buddhist pagodas
last month.
National assembly elections,
originally scheduled for August
81 but postponed because of the
edict presumably will be held
soon.
Today's decree noted that
while martial law will end, the
technical state of national
emergency that went into effect
october Is, 1861, will remain
in effect.
Under the state of emergency,
the president is empowered by
the national constitution to
rule by decree.

BY ]. A. OLEARY
Star staff Writer

Senate leaders will try to
ratify the nuclear test-ban
treaty before President Ken
lnedy addresses the United
Nations next Friday. but there
was q possibility today the OPP
position may keep the debate
going beyond that date.
Senator Thurmond. Democrat
of South Carolina. one Of the
leading opponents. said he has
three more speeches he wants
to make and added:
This is a very important
document. and 1t should not be
rushed. It is one Of the most
important m alters ever to
come before the Senate"
He pointed out that the
treaty has been described as q
first step toward disarmament
and said he is concerned over
this step and the others that
may follow.
Sole Order Of Business
The Senate is in recess until
10 am. Monday, Democratic
Lea der Mansfield said he
would ask the Senate to meet
early and late every day next
week, indicating the treaty will
not be laid aside for any
other business until it is acted
upon.
The treaty must 60 through
two stages in the Senate, and
it is still in the first stage,
where only amendments to the
text of the treaty itself may
be considered.
Although no such amend
Iments have been offered thus
far. Senator Thurmond would
mot agree this week to @ re.
quest that the Senate move on
to the second stage In which
the separate resolution of rati-
fication viii be taken UP.
There are seven changes in
this resolution waiting to be
considered. Senator Thurmond
said he will decide Monday
whether to offer an amend
ment to the treaty itself, or
agree to move on to the reso-
luton Of ratification.
No Big Changes Expected
No major changes, such as
the Goldwater reservation on
getting Russian troops out of
Cuba, are expected to carry.
But informed sources believe
Senator Russell, Democrat of
Georgia, may get q majority
for his amendment to specify
the right of the Senate to act
on any future changes in the
treaty.
Although two-thirds will be
required for final ratification,
amendments need only a maj
ority.
The Russell proposal merely
writes into the resolution the
assurance the President has
given that the Senate will pass
on any future revision Of the
treaty. 80
Senator Russell has stated
fatty his amendment would
not require renegotiation Of
the treaty, but administration
spokesman would prefer to
avoid any modifying clauses.
because they fear 1t may
prompt other countries to spec
ify other conditions.
