“Tempest in a Teapot

Proves Dangerous for Capital Party Guests

Samovar Crackles, Hisses and Explodes Just Missing Mrs. Burton, Wife of Justice “i By ELISE MORROW WASHINGTON, Apr. 30—An exploding samovar, a missing guest of honor, and a hostess who wouldn’t speak above a whisper were the mad, gay touches that kept

Washington social life up to its high standard at one party here the other day.

* The samovar—or glorified Russian teapot—crackled, hissed

and finally popped, just missing Mrs. Harold Burton, wife of the Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, - who had departed but a moment earlier, after a stint at pouring tea from this malevolent fixture, Nobody hurt. The guest of honor, Mrs. Henry Stewart Price, a sister of the hostess, was detained at her home in New York and never did show up. The hostess, Mrs. Gordon Young, wife of one of the District of Columbia Commissioners, | had a bad case of tonsillitis and tottered up from her sick bed to greet her guests with hoarse but indomitable hospitality. : It takes much more than such minor’ catastrophes to discourage Washington social life, which operates with a show-must-go-on sort of magnificence really appropriate to a more important pursuit than that of the dry mar- - The Norwegian Ambassador and dean of\the diplomatic corps, Wilhelm Munthe De Morgenstierne, and his wife, were involved in this calamity, and so were the chubby Secretary of the Interior, Julius Krug, and Mrs. Krug. Attorney General Tom Clark, and Mrs. Clark, were also among the guests, as were the newly retired Secretary of the Army, Kenneth C. Royall, and Mrs. Royall. The Royalls, incidentally, are not returning to North Carolina, as most of their friends thought they would. They will remain

here in Washington, leaving official life as quiet! Mrs, Royall says. : g ? ¥. 52 possible,

All the Cabinet members and their wives, plus about 55 other social and official Washingtonians, were on the guest list for this dinner party. Friday night the Trumans also went to a party in their honor thrown by the most formidably important group of males in town

put on a very creditable performs ance. He showed no disappointment. He gave absolutely no indication that there was anything wrong with the hand. Instead he set to work to figure out how he could make his contract, with the favorable opening lead. Clearly West did not have both of the high spade honors or he would have led a spade. East might have both of them and if he also had four diamonds a squeeze would develop.

Declarer next led his last trump, ‘throwing the last spade from the board and leaving only the king, queen and six of diamonds.

The double moral here is, don’t get into slams where the opponents have two quick winners. But if you do, don't let the enemy know about it-—until it’s too late.
