TV In Review By RICK DU BROW HOLLYWOOD UPI—The not entirely surprising return of Johnny Carson to NBC-TVs “Tonight” show this coming Monday provides the star with a chance for opportune oneupmanship on his new latej night competitor, Joey Bishop.
While Carson was off the air during negotiations by his lawyers—LouiB Nizer and Arnold Grant—for a new contract with NBC-TV, Bishop this past Monday began his late-night series

The first settler in this town- the erection of mount Pisgr.h
ship was Thomas Broadstreet, Sr., who was bom in Virginia in the year 1813. In the year 1826, at the age of 13, he cai.ie West with his father, who settled within one mile of the west edge of the township. The first log cabin in Mill Creek Township was built in the year 1826, on the west bank of the stream from which the township took its name, one and a half miles south of Stilesville, by Jacob Holmes. This house was then sold to James Sallust. The next was built on what is known as the Clark farm, by Thomas Skelton Walton William Parker entered land and built a house close by, and then came Elisha Hurst and Norman Nunn. They were all early settlers, and owned lands adjoining the Clark farm on the west. William Heavin came here in the year 1827, and at first built a log cabin, but within a few years erected a very good hewed-log house. At a very early day, Mr. Heavin built a water-mill of the kind known to old settlers as a hominy-pestle; and he also planted the first orchard in the township. The first death which occurred in the township was that of Mrs. Barbara Heavin, wife of William Heavin, who died in the year 1830, and was interned near the family dwelling. James Sallust, father of John and Wilbur Sallust of this township and of J.R. Sallust of Oregon, came from Virginia to Mill Creek in the year 1829, and lived in his traveling-tent until he built a cabin in which to live. Mr. Sallust made the first kiln of brick in the township. His molder and burner was a man named Daniel Elliott. Mr. Sallust lived to the year 1851. Mr. McHaffie, from Knox County, Penn., father of M. F. McHaffie, bought land in the north part of the township in the year 1831, to which he moved in the fall of the next year. He built the first waterpower grist-mill in the township in the years 1835-1836. Samuel Beadle, Pleasant Allee and William Allee all came to the township in the year 1837. The first child bom in the
Church, on the land of Norman Nunn, in the year 1844 or 1845. Mr. Thomas Broadstreet was one of the earliest if not the first minister in the township. Thomas Elliott improved the place at the forks of the Greencastle and National Roads, where he first built a log house, in which he kept a tavern, as did also Mr. Keller, just accross the line in Hendricks County. In the year 1837, Mr. Elliott built a brick house, and in the following year, Mr. Keller built a two-story frame. These were rival houses, and attained great notoriety. They were known as the “Indian Chief” Tecumseh and “Washington Hall.” They were together called “the twin taverns.”
they definitely wanted Carson back on a steady basis. But their thinking was that Bishop would probably get a high rating for his debut strictly out of curiosity value for a new show—and this was exactly what happened, with Dean and the “Tonight” program getting clobbered the first night of Bishop’s series. The thinking, therefore, was that it was just as well that Dean, and not Carson, was taking the short end of the ratings, for clobbering a substitute could hardly serve as a publicity springboard for ABCTV and the Bishop series to be unduly gleeful. In fact, there has also been some thinking to the effect that NBC-TV’s scheduling of Bob Newhart as next week’s “Tonight” host—if Carson hadn’t returned—was also somewhat calculated. For the talk was that if Carson had definitely quit, Newhart had an inside track to succeed him, and in no case would it have looked good for even a potential host of “Tonight” to be defeated by a smaller network’s late-night show. So Dean was allowed to take it on the chin.

If south led a low diamond, a defender would refuse the first diamond trick if he could. Then the rest of the diamonds would never come in. Most declarers guarded themselves against this danger by leading the king of diamonds at the second trick. South planned to continue the suit if an opponent refused the first diamond. Presumably, he could force out the ace of diamonds and get back with a club to run the rest of the suit. Alas for the optimism of youth. The diamonds broke 5-1, and South made only three diamond tricks instead of five. Down one. PARTIAL PROTECTION South cannot protect himself against all possible 5-1 breaks,
but he can and should protect himself against the singleton ace in the East hand. After winning the first club. South should lead a spade to dummy’s king and return the jack of diamonds from dummy. When East is obliged to play the ace of diamonds South can play low and then bring in the rest of the suit. If East could ptay a low diamond. Soutli would overtake with the queen of diamonds in the hope of finding a 3-3 or 4-2 bseak rather than a 5-1 break. South would lose if it turned out that West had the singleton ace of diamonds, but South cannot protect himself against all possible bad breaks, as we have noted. DAILY QUESTION Partner opens with one spade, and the next player passes. You hold: S-Q 10 8 4 3; H-Q 10 9 7; D-A; C-K 7 5. What do you say? Answer: Bid three spades. This jump shows strong support (at least Q-x-x-x) for partner’s suit, with 13 to 16 points counting distribution as well as high cards. In this case you count about 11 points in high cards, 1 point extra for the queen of partner’s suit, 1 point extra for the fifth trump, and 3 points for the singleton.
