i SQUEEZED BY LONG SUIT Ypponent Prevents Setting Up of Declarer’s Cards, But Cannot Hold Out Against Side Strength By WM. E. MCKENNEY Secretary, American Bridge League) ‘Perhaps South was unduly optim-' tic, Possibly first round control of very suit is not enough justification 2r a small slam. But if South was 2 blame, so was North. North had shown both spades and hubs, and all that South gambled on vas that one of the three sults in the artnership hands would run, and hereby make a squeeze effective gainst one opponent or the other. Today's hand is an_ interesting xample of a fairly common if usual- unrecognized situation, one where 10 trump, with no power to ruff, will ‘roduce as many or more tricks than the best available suit contract. Today’s Contract Problem South is playing a grand slam contract in hearts. The club finesse wins, but South still holds an apparent loser in that suit. Since East has made «| an overcall in spades, he prob- 4 ably is marked with the king of that suit. How can South use this knowledge about the key cards to gain the 13th > N. & S. vul. Opener—@ 9. Solution in next issue. 10 The South player who recognized that fact was the lone top on the board in a recent duplicate game in| New York. I do not defend the bidding. 1 merely record it. While East by his) double is asking for a spade or a club lead, West, with a suit that must | establish one round, and with a sure | stop of the only sult shown by the SOLUTION OF PREVIOUS | CONTRACT PROBLEM East Pass Pass Pass Double Pass Opening lead—Y K. 10 | declarer, could not be greatly blamed | for deciding to establish a heart trick. ; Even a spade lead would not have | changed the result. | South won the first trick with the ace. He then laid down two rounds of diamonds, only to learn that West had held six originally. He then led the ace of clubs and followed with another club, and dummy proceeded to cash all the club tricks, South discarded two hearts, one dia- }mond, and one spade. West, who had to make five discrads, threw two | diamonds and three hearts. East had to discard only twice, and parted with ; one spade and one heart. The next play was a spade from | dummy, which was won with the ace. South now led the nine of hearts, putting West into the lead. At this | point West held only the jack and nine of diamonds, and was forced to lead up to declarer's tenace. Squeezing power of a long suit aghin was demonstrated.

Jatest and most baffling murder mys- tery, opens at the Capitol] Theatre to- day with Jean Muir and Warren Hull in the leading roles. : ‘The killing takes place by night on speeding airplane above the clouds. Although a G-Man and three crim- inals are among the passengers—no ‘one sees the commission of the crime. It ig the air hostess who finds the victim slumped in his seat with @ dagger thrust through his heart. ‘The G-Man is in charge of the sit- uation until the master mind of a ‘band of murderers—disguised as a wo- man—whips out a brace of pistols and holds up the crowd. After doping one of the pilots he orders the other to direct his ship toward a small town where he expects friends to hide him, but a terrific dust-storm forces the plane down. ‘There follows a series of exciting ept- sodes including a shooting and a hand-to-hand battle between the killer and a newspaper reporter, with the air hostess doing her bit nobly. Romance also rides the storm for; the reporter and the pilot are both violently in love with the air hostess and carry on even under the guns of the killer. Dr. Hein Ter Horst, 80, Dies Tuesday in Minot Minot, N. D., Dec. 10.—()—Dr. Hein ‘Ter Horst, 80, who practiced medicine in Wisconsin more than 40 years and during recent years had lived at Don- nybrook and Minot with his son, Har- vey Ter Horst, died Tuesday night at the latter's home here. He had been in failing health for the last five years. Members of the family will leave Thursday morning for Milwau- kee, taking the body there for burial. Dr. Ter Horst a native of Milwaukee, had practiced there for 30 years be- fore coming to North Dakota. He also leaves a son, Steve Ter Horst, of Grand Forks. MOVIES |Lions Feel at Home in Realistic Jungle Set Jn making the picture, “Tarzan Escapes,” which comes to the Para- mount Theatre starting today, Direc- tor Richard Thorpe was acutely aware that every scene was subject to the thoroughly familiar with the story. Johnny Weissmuller, in the title role, portrays a character who is known to 20,000,000 readers of the books by Edgar Rice Buprroughs, sec- ond most widely read of contempor- ary writers, In addition, the Tarzan cartoons are syndicated in 286 daily newspapers throughout the country and the radio serials have been broad- cast over national networks to other millions. Accordingly, Thorpe was actually conducting a figurative cafari through the heart of the African jungle that frequently became literal. Lovely Maureen O'Sullivan, playing opposite Weissmuller, became famil- jar through close contact with evil- tempered lions, treacherous leopards, elephants, gorillas, crocodiles and other assorted uncertain quantities di- rect from the jungle, far removed by mileage but not by nature or tempera- ment. Copper Makers Fail To Bid on Navy Job Washington, 10.—(?)—The navy department took up with the labor department Wednesday a prob- lem created by the failure of any cop- per manufacturers to submit bids asked by the navy on 2,600,000 pounds of the metal. Navy officials said they attributed the lack of any bids for the contract to the Walsh-Healy law of last June stipulating that those industries furnishing materials and supplies under any government con- tract exceeding $10,000 must conform to prescribed minimum rates of pay and maximum hours of labor.
