Sheinwold on Bridge
Remember The Bidding In Tour Calculation* By Alfred Sheinwold Even experts can seldom compute to exact odds while playing a hand. When today’s hand was played during the -Team Trials in San Francisco last November, a famous American expert picked the wrong play because he miscalculated West dealer Both sides vulnerable NORTH A K 10 7 V A Q 8 7 5 0 7 3 A QJ5 WEST EAST A AS A 9 V K1064 V J 9 2 OK O QJ98642 A AK10863 A 72 SOUTH A QJ65432

the odds. The situation is worth remembering because it often occurs in play. West took his top clubs and led a third club for Blast to ruff. South over-ruffed and lead a heart in the hope of getting three heart tricks. South could go up with the ace of hearts, ruff a heart and lead a trump. He would get to dummy with the ten of trumps to ruff another heart, and would make the contract if the king of hearts fell on this trick. South’s other plan was to try a finesse with the queen of hearts and then ruff a heart and lead a trump and so forth. If the finesse lost, however, South would be down two instead of just one. South’s problem was to pick the right play without seeing all of the cards. DIFFICULT CHOICE Either play works when West has three hearts headed by the king. The finesse is better when

West has ftrar haarta to the king, and going up with the ace io better when East has three hearts to the king. When you know nothing about the unseen hands, and when it is just a question of making the contract or going down one, the finesse is correct. If losing the finesse will cost you an additional trick (as in this case), the finesse is wrong. In this case West’s two vulnerable bids make him a heavy favorite to hold the king of hearts. This makes the finesse correct despite the risk of going down two instead of just one. If West had never bid, the odds would favor East to hold the king of hearts after West shows up with six clubs to the ace-king. In this case going up with the ace would be correct even If there is no risk of going down an additional trick. It isn’t enough to be a mathematician in such situations. You must also be a bridge player, using the bidding to help you locate key cards. DAILY QUESTION Partner opens with 1 NT (16 to 18 points), and the next player passes. You hold: S-Q J 6 5 4 3 2 H-3 D-A 10 5 C-9 4 What do you say? ANSWER: Bid four spades. You are a point or two shy of the 26 points usually needed for game, but your excellent distribution should see you through.
Shift Purchases WASHINGTON UPI — Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara Monday ordered government purchases of structural steel to be shifted to companies that have not increased prices. There were indications that not only future deliveries but present contracts might be Involved in McNamara’s order. The defense chief’s order came at the same time that Inland Steel Co. followed the earlier lead of the Bethlehem Steel Corp. and raised the price of structural steel 35 a ton.
Ku Kim Kim Probe Resumed WASHINGTON UPI — Congressional investigators plan to focus on the violent side of the Ku Klux Klan when the wideranging inquiry Into the “invisible empire” resumes this week. During the frst phase of the investigation by the House Committee on Un-American Activities late last year, the emphasis was on allegations that assorted kleagles, wizards and the like were pocketing some of Vie dues and donation money to make life more comfortable for themselves. But, beginning Tuesday, the Committee plans to survey states where there has been more racial violence — notably Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama. The states covered last year were North and South Carolina, Virginia and Georgia. Committee investigators believe they know the identities of “a great many” rank-and-file members of the Klan and may make them public when the new hearings begin. To do so, according to one member of the committee, would be a grevious blow to the secret organization. Rep. Charles L. Weltner, DGa., says the Committee has the legal weapons to eventually get those lists. “But we already have a good idea of the identities of a great many rank-and-file members,” he added. “I’m certain a great many of them are most anxious to keep their neighbors from knowing that they are members of the KKK. It’s because they sense what is a fact, that southern communities view violence and terror with abhorence.”
New Airport AMMAN, Jordan UPI — The government Monday approved construction of a new international airport here at a cost of $15.4 million. A French company has submitted an offer to build it.

Man Here In Apartment Fire KANSAS CITY, Mo. UPI — One by one four children came hurtling down from a smokefilled third floor window into the arms of Obie Williams, 29. Williams missed the fifth child, and he was saddened by it. But he was too busy, right then, to linger with the boy. He laid him on the grass beside the others he had caught and returned to his post beneath a window of a flame swept, 80 unit apartment building. Four adults followed the children out the window where Williams had taken his stand. His body broke their falls. Each time he picked himself up and went back to cushion the drop of the next person. One man, in another part of the building, died In the fire, and 16 persons were Injured. Williams went along to the hospital, but none of the children he caught and only one of the adults he helped were seriously hurt Mrs. Clarence Downton, the last to leap, suffered a compound fracture of one leg. It was her 5-year-old son, Clarence, Jr., whom Williams missed. Physicians said he would recover. The boy was reported in fair condition today at a hospital. Williams said he “just couldn’t get off the ground to catch Clarence.”
Williams was one of a group celebrating New Year’s Day in the apartment of his sister and her husband, Mr. and Mrs. Marion Jenkins. When they discovered they were trapped, Williams leaped to the ground and called to the others to throw the children to him. “I guess this makes a pretty good baby sitter,” he said.
Pravda Reports On Satellites MOSCOW UPI — Soviet satellites now circling the earth will continue in orbit from 10 to more than 1,000 years depending on the duties assigned them, the Communist party newspaper Pravda said Monday. A correspondent who visited the coordinating-computing center said it is working with more than 20 Sputniks at the moment. “Cosmos - 100,” one of the more recent satellites, will be active for about 10 years, he said, while earlier efforts of this series — notably Cosmos84 which had an initial altitude of 935 miles — will remain in orbit for more than 1,000 years.

Award Upheld By State Court INDIANAPOLIS UPI —The Indiana Applellate Court Monday upheld an . award of $80,000 to a Franklin area man injured in a 1961 train-car collision. Robert Mink, R. R. 5, Franklin, was injured when his car was hit by a Pennsylvania Railroad freight train at the Hill Camp Rd. crossing near Amity. The case was sent to Morgan County on a change of venue from Johnson. The high court upheld Morgan Circuit Court jury which awarded the $80,000 from the railroad. Evidence was in conflict but testimony indicated the engine pulling boxcars which struct the Mink car was moving backwards and that Mink believed it was a string of parked boxcars which he had seen earlier in the day near the crossing. “It is the duty of a person knowingly approaching a railroad crossing to exercise care for his own safety,” Judge Thomas J. Faulconer wrote. “He is not, however, bound to exercise such a high degree of care as practically to insure his own safety. Railroad comlic the duty of exercising reasonable care in the operation of their trains to avoid injury to persons at places where the track and the highway cross.”
