There is more to the play of some hands than meets the eye. For examplei, take this deal where South made six hearts with the aid of a squeeze. West led a diamond, taken with the king. Declarer drew two rounds of trumps. West discarding the three of diamonds to identify a five-card suit, and then finessed the nine of clubs. East won with the Icing and returned a diamond to the ace, whereupon declarer played three more rounds of trumps and cashed the ace of spades to pro-

duce this position:

South 4106

47 + 5

Declarer now led the seven of hearts and West was squeezed He could not afford to part with a spade, eo he discarded a club. This permitted declarer to discard dummy’s spade and win the last three tricks by means of another club finesse. As a result, South made the slam. Better defense would have defeated the contract. At the point when East takes the nine of clubs with the king his proper return is a club. If he makes this play. South eventually loses a spade and goes down one. The squeeze no longer materializes because the club return breaks a vital link of communication between declarer’s hand and the dummy. East should reason that declarer’s five black cards (South is known to have started with six hearts and two diamonds) consist of three spades and two clubs rather than two spades and three clubs (which would make the contract unbeatable). He should return a club into the A-J-10 to break up the budding squeeze.

Indiana corn crop expected to yield 86 bushel average

WASHINGTON UPI — Indiana's 1967 com crop, plagued by dry weather at a critical time in plant growth, showed no change in the Sept. 1 estimated yield from the predictions of 462,852,00 bushels made a month earlier. No deterioration of the crop propsects was shown after the Aug. 1 estimate was issued by the Department of Agriculture showing the state should have an 86 bushels per acre yield and produce 66 million more bushels than it did in 1966. The unchanged forecast was good news to farmers who believed the shortage of rain through much of August would further hurt the crop outlook. Indiana fared better than Ohio, Wisconsin, South Dakota and Minnesota, where losses were recorded during the onemonth period. And the state did as well as Iowa, Missouri and Michigan, where no changes were made between August and September. But it did not do as well as

Illinois, where the prospects grew by nearly 56 million bushels to a fabulous 101 bushels per acre yield estimate, or Nebraska, which also showed a gain. Nevertheless the yield per bushel was higher than any state except Illinois. Even Iowa was one bushel per acre below Indiana.

Goodyear recalls defective tires

WASHINGTON UPI— Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. has recalled 107,099 tires to inspect them for possible defects since 1965. The firm said 13,603 were found to be faulty. Goodyear, in a letter to Sen. Gaylord Nelson, D-Wis., released over the weekend, became the first of five major U . S. tire firms to concede some of its products had defects. Nelson, while critical of Goodyear for failing to specify the type and size of the tires recalled, said it was “very refreshing to have some straight forward answers for a change." Goodyear's letter refused to name the tires called back from dealers because of poor construction. It said none of the tires reached consumers. Firestone Tire & Rubber Corp. earlier told Nelson that virtually no defective tires were produced in their plants. B. *F. Goodrich Co., General Tire & Rubber Co. and Gates Rubber Co., refused to answer Nelson's questions about defective tires. Nelson has been attempting to lay groundwork for legislation which would require tire manufacturer to notify consumers of any safety defects in the estimated 50 million tires sold annually

Prices increase sharply on 1968 automobiles

DETROIT UPI — The 1968 autq buying public got an expected kick in the wallet Monday. Auto industry leaders, who have tried to soften the blow for months, announced a sharp boost in car prices. Chrysler Corp. led the way with an announcement that prices on Plymouth, Dodge and Chrysler products for 1968 were boosted an average of $133 over 1967 models with standard equipment. Direct model for model price comparisons are difficult, because of the many changes and additions required by new federal safety requirements. New federally-required safety items this year included a number of design changes in instrument panels, shoulder harness anchorages, padded windshield pillars, redesigned door levers and window lifts, increased padding on the back of the front seat for protection of rear occupants, and installation of three, rather than two. safety belts on front and rear seats.

Chrysler was th« first to announce its 1968 prices because it held its introductions earlier than the other makers. General Motors, Ford and American Motors were expected to make their price announcements, with similar price increases, in the next few days. Chrysler cars go on sale in dealer showrooms next Thursday. The cars of the other makers go on sale beginning next week. All the companies were expected to announce price boosts averaging more than $100. Chrysler said its average $133 price boost was based on weighing the various models as to sales. It said the increase amounted to an average 4.6 per cent over 1967 model prices. Lynn Townsend, Chrysler board chairman, said the new higher prices reflected the increased cost of materials and labor, and the added cost of safety equipment and exhaust pollution control systems required by new federal laws.

LSD dangerous to children

CHICAGO UPI—A 5-year-old girl was wandering around her home in the New York City area when she found a stray sugar cube. Predictably, she ate it. Unpredictably, she was screaming uncontrollably 20 minutes later. She said that her body was cut off at the waist. She was taken to Kings County, N. Y., Hospital, where doctors said she was suddenly disoriented and acutely psychotic. The sugar cube had been laced with LSD lysergic caid diethylamide. The story of the girl’s ninemonth recovery from the incident was in an American Medical Association journal article Monday. The length of her recovery showed that LSD can have “a clearly depressing effect upon intellectual functioning” long after immediate effects wear off—a significant finding, Dr. Doris H. Milman of the State University of New York wrote. The case also showed that a child’s brain may be more susceptible to LSD’s toxic effects than an adult’s and that the effects are not merely the result of suggestion or expectation, Dr. Milman said. Among other effects recorded, the girl’s IQ dropped from 108 to 102, Dr. Milman said. Five months after the incident—when

the girl had returned to a “normal mood”—her IQ was measured at 121, she said. Dr. Milman said there are only four other reports of normal children accidentally swallowing LSD.

Heloise— Dear Heloise: This hint may be helpful to mothers with a child just learning to feed himself. Cut the feet from a pair of men’s white cotton socks that have been boiled well. Then slip the leg part of the socks over the child’s sleeves, with the sock top at the wrist. If you have several pairs, it really saves on the number of shirts soiled per day. Jessie

Dear Heloise: I carry several index cards and postcards in my purse. They come in handy when I have to wait for an appointment. You can usually write several to friends or relatives if you have seen all the magazines that interest you in the waiting room. If not, and you find a recipe you would like to try, just copy it onto the file card. The card is ready to be filed when you return home. Mrs. Ray Plunkett
