The opening lead was the six of diamonds and Mr. Champion's | jack fell to the ace. Looking the j hand over, Miss Brash saw she had just one entry to dummy, the ace of clubs. She decided not to use that card for the purpose of leading a trump from the board, as it might serve a more important purpose later. RAY OF LIGHT Accordingly, she banged down the ace and another spade. Mr. Champion won the second spade and returned the deuce of diamonds. The hand had looked pretty hopeless to Miss Brash but | now she thought she saw a ray of ' light. If the play of the diamond suit had been honest, Mr. Muzzy had opened his fourth best, which meant that Mr. Champion was now out of the suit.

Therefore if the opposing clubs lay 3-2 and if the first round of clubs could be ducked into Mr. Champion’s hand, there was no i return lead he could make which j would be damaging. On regaining the leid. Miss Brash could knock out the last outstanding trumps. Again win any return and then run the rest of the clubs, getting rid of the losing diamonds in her hand. Following this plan, she won the fourth trick with the king of diamonds and quickly led the deuce of clubs. But Mr. Muzzy
put up the jack.
INEXPECTED TURN
This was a nasty (and completely unexpected) turn of events. Miss Brash was now faced
East ' ,vith the choice of letting the
jack hold, in which case Mr. Muzzy would undoubtedly cash his two good diamonds, or of giving up all hope of setting the
clubs.
She went up with the ace in dummy and returned a small chib to her king, on the chance that Mr. Muzzy had started with the queen-jack doubleton. But when the queen failed to drop on the second lead, all hope was lost. “That jack of clubs was the
Pass j best play I ever saw you make,
Muzzy," complimented Mr.
Champion.
“I always go up with a high card to force out an ace from dummy,” said Mr. Muzzy proud-
ly-
Mr. Champon grinned. “I’m glad the result of your play was better than your reason for making it,” he said.

\ Special to Central Press fCTASHlNGTON—The Russian decision to break off diplomatic reW lations with Australia because the wife of a Soviet embassy official decided at the last moment to join her husband as a refugee »rom Communism may cost the USSR dearly in sports prestige in
1956.
Unless the rupture is healed, it may well mean that the Soviet Union will not be represented at the Olympic Games in Melbourne ;\vo years from now. Moscow propagandists have been eagerly anticipating that the rayya international games would afford them a tremendous opportunity to impress the world with Russian 1 athletic prowess. On the basis of their exceptional showing in t^e 1952 gamoe, the Soviets were considered a good bet to outscore the United States f! on the unofficial team scoring at the Australian
Olympiad.
However, invitations to the games arc entirely up to the host country and if Australia chooses not to do so, no Invitation will be sent the Russians, On the other hand, the Australians, with a nne record of international good sportsmanship, may y decide to ignore the diplomatic break between the T two governments and invite the Soviets to partici-
pate anyway.

ft SURE THING--Democratic leaders have subtly refrained from jragging about it, but there’s a feeling among them that they can’t ose no matter what the eventual result of the Army-McCarthy con.roversy proves to be. That cocksureness stems from a simple fact: In this furore, a GOP lenator is pitted against a Republican administration. Whichever is i Jre loser, the Democrats anticipate a decision of which they can make j >olitical capital come the November congressional elections. Conversely, Republican leaders are convinced that the televised hearings starring Senator Joseph R. McCarthy (R), Wisconsin, and Army Secretary Robert T. Stevens hurt the party. For one thing, the constant squabbling and public airing of dirty Inen pointed up disunity within the GOP. Also, the issues involved ippeared unseemly for a party which campaigned against Commun-
! sm and corruption.
A Capitol Hill wag put it this way, “It’s got so bad we ought to I nave called Harry Truman back to clean up the mess.” This reference J :o the GOP’s owm campaign slogan is the sort of thing which has tho Democrats gloating; the GOP worrying. That is a major reason why Republicans on the Senate investigations subcommittee tried so hard to bring the hearings to a close.

• SOONER THAN YOU THINK—Color motion pictures on television with 19-inch color tubes will be within financial reach of present-day black-and-white set owners by 1956. That’s the prediction of industry headers who demonstrated new color TV equipment to the Federal

Small screen color TV receivers are now priced at In 1956? $1,000 and up. How’ever. DuMont executives say their new tube not only presents a clear color image of large size, but has the potential of economical mass production.
