Sheinwold On Bridge Leading Low Trumps Earns High Score By Alfred Sheinwold When you’re drawing tiumps. it’s customary to lead out your | high trumps first and then follow up with lower trumps. This method must sometimes be reversed : Wert dealer Ear-West vulnerable NORTH ♦ A Q J 10 V A K Q I ♦ 9 S WEST *-> EAST v A K S 6 3 . }A 4 V 6 ‘ • V 10 9 5 4 1 ♦ AKQJ 10 34762 4 K 6 4 10 9 5 4 SOUTH 4 9 7 3 2 ...

South wisely decided to ruf with a low trump in his owr hand rather than with one of dummy’s high trumps. He discarded the jack of clubs fron dummy. The next problem w r as which fmosse to take—spades or clubs South properly decided to lead a club. One finesse in this suit would do some good, but one finesse in spades might leave him in the same position as before. Declarer finessed dummy’s queen of clubs, winning the trick. Now the only problem w r as to draw trumps without losing more than one trick. Leading High Would Fail South w r ould lose his contract il he took the ace of spades and then led the queen of spades. West would refuse to take his king. This w r ould leave West and dummy with tw r o trumps, and South with only one. If dummy led another trump. West w r ould win and lead another diamond to punch out dummy’s last trump. Then declarer w r ould go down two. If declarer decided to abandon trumps after tw'o rounds, West would make two ti unrip tricks. The right plan is to leave the ace of spades in the dummy and
to begin the trumps by leading one of the lower honors. West would refuse the trick. Dummy continues with another low trump. If West wins the trick, South still has a trump to take care of a diamond. If West refuses the trick, dummy would then cash the ace of spades and

to&WASHINGTON - MARCH OF EVENTS 1 Need of Spartan Economy I New Driv* !• lave Money Emphasized in Washington I Sparked by Budget Bureau By HENRY CATHCABT Central Press Association Washington Writer tyTASHINGTOX—The specter of increasing inflation haa caused \V the federal government to embark on a new money saving drive in an effort to lessen the inflationary Impact made by gov* emment spending. Latest and most severe step to be taken was Issued by the Bud* get bureau on direct orders from President Eisenhower. All gov* emment departments and agencies were “requested" to reduce thelf * I payrolls by two per cent during the current fief £ cal year, which end* next Juno 3<X F* _ i This is to be accomplished, not by discharging "*■- employes, but by not filling vacancies as they occur—the normal attrition of all large organ-
izations.
Another facet of the payroll reduction request is that the departments and agencies should absorb, as far as possible, recent increases in federal employes' pay by improving efficiency, so that fewer persona will ba required to do
necessary jobs.
The Budget bureau said It could not place a dollar value on the savings which it hopes to incur. But it echoed the President’s “great concern for the need of spartan economy" and
ordered any agency head who felt he could not comply to submit
the facts to the Budget bureau.
The federal government is headed for • whopping; record peacetime deficit of over $12 billions this fiscal year. This is the major factor in the present inflation pressures which daily are driving prices, wages, and stock market quotations to new hlgtuu • QUEMOY SMOKE—There Is a growing body opinion in thb State department, and among free-world diplomatic representatives in Washington, that the Quemoy crisis was manufactured in Moscow as a smokescreen to cover up the Communist propaganda
defeat in the Middle East.
When the Chinese Reds opened up their intense bombardment of the Nationalist-Chinese held island off the mainland coait, official Washington was greatly alarmed that it presaged an Invasion
attempt against Formosa.
Now, however, several occurrences have caused a shift in thinking, although the possible outbreak of war in the area Is not com-
pletely discounted.
First and foremost, the Communist leaders both in Moscow and Peiping show a willingness to talk about the matter. Second, and perhaps of more practical value, the Formosa Straits waters become too rough after ml<J-September to permit any invasion flotilla that the Reds could muster to negotiate the passage. Besides, in the thinking of some, the Communists have achieved their goal. If the thinking of these persons is correct, the Reds merely wanted to deflect world attention away from the Middle East where American and British troops are still stationed unmolested weeks after Russian statements that shs could "hot stand
idly by” in such a situation.

autumn nights, listen to the tree cricket.
