Fugitive Will Have Hearing W ednesday z i T/SOCIAL INNOVATIONS | ARE CONSIDERED BY THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1982 MRS. JOHN GARNER Texas Woman Sees No Reason Why Precedent Should Be Followed (Copyright, 1932, By The Associated Press) Washington, Dec. 20.—Mrs. John N. Garner is giving careful thought to a question that others have been inter- estingly discussing—what she will do socially as the vice president's wife. Some time ago the Garners an- nounced that, in keeping with their custom of simple living, they will ac- cept only “official” invitations. But Tuesday Mrs. Garner told for the first time just how she feels on the subject. She does not minimize the value of sociability in official life. On the contrary, she is deeply determined to uphold the dignity of the vice presidential position. But she thinks individuality should be expressed by each hostess—and if she so chooses, she might even introduce some social innovations! Alice Was Independent “Alice Longworth, as speaker’s wife, by not holding the traditional ‘at homes’ to the house membership, made it perfectly clear that it is not necessary for every hostess to do what others have done before them,” said Mrs. Garner. “Now, I would really enjoy receiv- ing the house membership, and may work it out yet, before Mr. Garner's term as speaker closes. “The point is that it isn’t necessary for people to follow each other like sheep in social events.” Mrs, Garner looks at sociability from the practical viewpoint of a career woman, and is putting to her ‘At Homes’ Questionable There's the question of holding “at homes” and of making formal calls. The vice president's hostess traditio! ally starts off the cabinet “at homes, and Mrs. Garner hasn't turned thumbs down on that, although she wouldn't want it carried to the old extremes. “Mrs. Joseph M. Dixon of Montana and I used to go calling together,” Mrs. Garner said, and genuine reminiscent pleasure lighted her eyes as she turned back to the slow-swinging pre-auto so. cial regime. “We used to say we ‘peddled car- board.’ We'd call, and call and call, and those we were calling on would call, and call, and call, and we'd probably never meet the whole season. “A group of us who lived at the same hotel would have ‘at homes’ to- gether, and two thousand would come! WherrT think back to the times I have stood for hours in line, shaking hands with a thousand, or two thousand, I can’t believe that form of ‘at home’ is worth while, though I might enjoy) & smaller one.” Will Move Dismissal Of Manslaughter Case Minot, N. D., Dec. 20.—(4)—State's Attorney Paul Campbell said Tuesday that before he retires from office Jan. 1 he will make a motion for dismissal of the manslaughter charge against Harry Kinzley, Mohail, which is pend- ing in Ward county district court. The manslaughter charge against Kinzley is the outgrowth of an auto- mobile accident north of Minot Sept. 13, when a car, allegedly driven by Kinzley, ran into and killed William Truesdell of Glenburn. The state's attorney said his deci- sion to move for dismissal of the case was based principally on the fact that @ coroner's jury, returned a verdict that Truesdell died as the result of an accident “which was caused primarily by the failure of C. R. Hutchinson to remove his car from the traffic lane and further contributed to by the speed of Kinzley’s car.” 510101018181 818, Any gift chosen from our “Giftiness” Hockey and Skiis Hockey Sticks CONT as the BY WM. E. McKENNEY The less-than-game, or partial score, bonus recently adopted by the American Bridge League at its sixth annual national championship tourn- ament in New York City has a great tendency to make even the less-than- game hands unusually interesting. It livens up the bidding because it is possible to take a chance on going down at least one trick if your op- onents could make a less-than-game contract and still win the deal, and it is bound to improve the play as Players, when in a difficult contract, will try to find a way of successfully making it. Following is one of the most in- teresting of the less-than-game hands played at the national tourna- ment. It was played in the first round of the national contract team championship, @A-K-5 wK @A-9-5-4-3-2 @Q-10-7-6 HA-8-5 The Bidding South was the dealer and passed. West passed, and North opened with one diamond. East, who was not vulnerable, overcalled with one heart. South bid two diamonds, West passed and North bid three dia- monds, which East and South passed. West then put in a three heart bid, willing to go down one trick if nec- essary, but North bid four diamonds. The Play East’s opening lead was the ace of hearts, which dropped North's king. A small heart was returned, North trumping West's jack with the deuce of diamonds, North returned the ace of diamonds, which dropped West's jack. The declarer now saw that if East held the king of diamonds he could make his contract regardless of the location of the king of clubs. Declarer’s next play was the ace and king of spades, He then ruffed the Jack of spades in dummy with the seven of diamonds, A small heart was returned from dummy and ruffed by the declarer with the three of diamonds.

East was down to the king and Jock of clubs and the ten of hearts. If he leads a heart, declarer will ruff in one hand and sluff in the other, so all that East could do was to cash his king of clubs and the declarer must then make his queen of clubs. With the aid of a strip and end play, he had made his contract of four diamonds, scoring 80 for tricks, and, as this is a less-than-game con- tract, he getting the 100-point premi- um, making his score on the hand 180 points plus.
