Opening lead—queen of diamonds.
I Another is that East does not have the king of spades. It would be too dangerous for him to lead a spade from the king, knowing that South almost surely has the queen as part of his notrump bid. So declarer follows low from his hand and also ducks in dummy. When East continues with the ten, South plays low again, but takes the ace in dummy when West produces the king. Declarer takes a heart finesse, which succeeds, re-enters dummy with a club, and takes another heart finesse. With nine tricks already certain. South makes his bid for a tenth trick i by leading a low diamond towards dummy. He plans to es- ! tablish a squeeze position and i must give up a diamond trick to attain it.
Many decisions declarer makes are based on plays made by his opponents. He has a right to assume that the play of certain cards, or the failure to play certain cards, indicates the probable distribution of the adverse hands. Here is a simple case. West leads the diamond queen and East plays the king, declarer following low. East returns the jack of spades. It is only trick two, but South can reasonably draw several conclusions. One is that East has no more diamonds, since he failed to continue the suit. (C 1968, King Feat\
West wins and can do no better than lead another diamond. South wins with the ace and cashes the queen of spades and A-K of clubs in that order. This last play squeezes East because he must discard from a holding of the K-10 of hearts and nine of spades. Dummy’s last two cards, before East discards, are the nine of hearts and seven of spades, while South’s last two cards are the A-4 of hearts. Whatever East plays on the king of clubs, declarer wins the rest. East cannot discard successfully and South makes four notrump, res Syndicate, Inc.) 3-19-6f

And so, naturally, it was the only one in prime time. It was, of course, very fine indeed to hear the words of a gifted writer, and to note their dominance over the pictures of the hour broadcast. And it was good to know there are still writers with optimism, warm humor, a love of nature and country and a genuine interest in people. But somehow the excerpts used in the hour, even with their moments of mild criticism, seemed to add up basically to trivia, almost irrelevant in significance to the theme of the program: A personal rediscovery of America. And the use of animation and re-created incidents only gave a feeling of phoniness to this genuine experience, and showed how an entertainment-documen-tary can go dangerously overboard when the showbiz aspects are allowed to dominate the reality. The increasingly insidious effects of show business attitudes on day-to-day life in a television era are enormously important, and worth the serious concern of responsible video executives. The wonder of America is its vastness and varietyof life. But television's “Travels with Chart ley” seemed to exist on a different planet than “The New Voices of Watts” and “The War This Week,” both of which were buried on Sunday afternoon. In “Travels With Charley,” a crisis was a minor fuss with an immigration official at the Canadian border, while “The New Voices of Watts” was presenting current Negro literary views of America,

Want review of war policies
WASHINGTON (UPI)_A call for an immediate congressional review of U.S. war policies in Vietnam is gaining wide support in the House, the chief sponsor of the proposal said today. Rep. Paul Findley, R-IU., said that 137 House members. 97 For Sprout Fans Brussels sprouts California style are especially delicious.

Heat slowly until butter melts. Makes 8 servings.
Republicans and 40 Democrats, have joined him in sponsoring the resolution calling for the sweeping policy - “This . . . says clearly that more of the same policies, backed by
still more American troops, will not do,” Findley said in a statement prepared for a news conference at which he and Reps. F. Bradford Morse, DMass., William Hungate. D-Mo.,
Yank defects to Viet Cong
SAIGON (UPI)-Radio Hanoi said Sunday that a U.S. Army corporal had defected to the Viet Cong. It identified him as Corporal McKinley Nolan, 24. U.S. Army officials here said that a Cpl. McKinley Nolan, 24, of Washington, Tex., was listed as absent without leave in December from A Company 2-16 Battalion, 1st U.S. Infantry, headquartered south of Di-akn since Nov. 7, 1967.
A spokesman said Nolan had been AWOL on previous occasions. Radio Hanoi said a GI it identified as Noland had been “welcomed warmly” to the “liberated area” southwest of Saigon Feb. 7 and had appealed to all U.S. troops to quit the war. • * • It takes 270 tons of water to make one ton of steel.
and Morris Udall, D-Ariz., would outline growing uneasiness about the course of the war. Findley indicated that both supporters and opponents of the war have joined in urging a review of current policies, a move that also is being pushed by a number of senators. The House resolution has been prepared for the last six months but has been lying dormant in the House Rules Committee. “In my view, congressional action is fully justified by the rising casualty rate,” Findley said. “The heavy toll is dead and wounded in intolerable.” Congress, he said, has a constitutional duty to critically examine basic war policies.
