Declarer took the ace of diamonds, drew three rounds of trumps and led out the top spades, discarding a club from dummy. Sines the jack of spades had not dropped. South had to ruff a spade with dummy’s last trump and then had to stake the grand slam on the club
finesse.
West defeated the contract with the queen of clubs, and South smugly announced: “No score. We had honors.” Since the entire performance
■ had taken only two minutes, South was able to go to the next j hand with the feeling that he had wasted very little time. South could have scored 2,310 points if he had taken one additional minute to play the hand. This news will interest only those bridge players who are willing to work for a couple of thousand points per minute. RUFF DIAMONDS After taking the ace of diamonds South should ruff a diamond. He cashes the ace of hearts, overtakes a heart with dummy’s king to ruff another diamond and leads a club to dummy’s king to draw the last trump with dummy’s nine. Since South is out of trumps, he discards the jack of dubs on the
nine cf hearts.
Now South cashes the top spades, ruffs a spade with dum nay's last trump and gets to his hand with the ace of clubs to take the last trick with the
ten of spades.
Not very difficult, not very slow, but very productive. DAILY QUESTION As desler, you hold: S-A K Q 10 4; H-A Q J10; D-4; C- A J 9. What do you say? Answer: Bid two spades (forcing to game). You have close to 5 Quick Tricks and about 9 playing tricks, easily enough for a forcing bid. (When the hand was actually played South made the mistake of opening with just <me spade.

Hie delegates responded to Acting Police Chief Allison an appeal by Atty. Gen. Nich-! Wainwri * ht confirmed Thurs-
olas Deb. Katzenbach, who asked them to oppose a resolution which disapproved of the
section of the bill.
Only 57 votes were mustered for the resolution introduced by a Maryland group headed by William L. Marbury of Baltimore. It asked the ABA’s pol-icy-making arm to oppose the bill’s requirement that jurors be selected at random from voter registration lists. The nay votes were not counted among ths 275-member house of delegates. The two important matters that did not reach the floor were ABA studies on new standards of professional conduct and one possible conflict Of the constitutional guarantees of a fair trial and a free press. The professional conduct study deals with canons that have been virtually unchanged for 60 years. Suggestions for changes are being drafted. An ABA panel expects to mako recommendations next month on the often-agonizing problem of the fine line between the rights of a defendant and the right of the public to know.

Photo Lab On Target To Moon PASADENA, Calif. UPI — Lunar Orbiter, America’s flying photographic laboratory, today appeared to be on a new and corrected course toward its whirl around the moon. The space robot responded with apparent success Thursday night to radioed commands correcting its course on its picture-taking mission. It was expected to reach the moon’s gravitational field by Sunday morning and begin its
orbital route. A news conference was called for noon EDT today to announce the findings of engineers regarding the supposedly correct translunar course of the unmanned, 850-pound vehicle. A11 preliminary telemetry data indicated success for the principal objectives of the mission after the midcourse maneuver. Radio signals were sent from the Woomer, a Tracking Station in Australia to ignite the 100-pound thrust rocket engine aboard lunar Orbiter and to change its trajectory — toward a closer orbit with the moon. The spacecraft, launched from Cape Kennedy on Wednesday, is scheduled to take 352 pictures of the moon’s surface. First pictures are to be transmitted Aug. 18 to the Goldstone Tracking Station In Southern California. A federal space agency spokesman said, "the midcourse maneuver has apparently been successfully performed.”
