The Bidding.
353
At contract many players bold. Ing five quick tricks would onen the South hand with a forcing two bid, but when the hand contains more than three losing cards, the forcing two bid should not be ap- plied. On this type of hand, the writer advocates the anening hid of one heart, West would overcall with two diamonds. North bid two spades, East pass and South would bid four spades which would buy the contract.
The Play.
East had the opening lead and led the ten of diamonds, the top of his partner's suit. Dummy played the four and West won the trick with the ace. To return a diamond would be granting the de- elarer an extra trick so West shift- ed to trump, leading the deuce of apades which the declarer allow ed to ride to dummy's ten. The ace of spades was then led from duni- my, followed by the jack of spadea, declarer overtaking in his own hand with the king.
In order to get a reading on the Fast hand, the declarer now let the king of diamonds, East follows with the seven. Declarer now led his last trump and Eust was fore- ed to discard a heart as he must protect, his four clubs to the jack. The declarer discarded the jack of diamonds from dummy and West discarded the five of diamonds. The nee and king of clubs were then played from dummy, West followed with the four and seven. declarer the three and eight and Bast the deuce and six,
As East refused to discard a club on the good spade, he was practically marked with four clubs and four hearts. The declarer saw an opportunity to make an end play that might produce an extra trick for him, so he led the nce of hearts from dummy, West follow- ed with the seven, declarer the four and East the six. Now the king of hearts was led from dum- my, West played the ten, declarer the deuce and if East played the eight of hearts, the declarer could now lead the small heart. from dummy which East will be forced to win with the queen and must then lead from lila jack-nine of clubs Into the declarer's queen. ton. But East, seeing the play that was about to be pulled off by the declarer, throw his queen of hearts on the dummy's king, there- by providing an entry for his part-
дег.
If the declarer now leada a heart from dummy, West will win with the Jack and cash his two good diamonds. To make his con- tract, the declarer must lead the five of clubs from dummy, West dropping the nine of diamonds and declarer winning the trick with the queen of clubs. He will now return the ten of clubs which East will win with the jack, West will discard his queen of diamonda and when East lends the eight of hearts, West will win it with the jack.
This play of throwing the queen onto the declarer's king is an un- blocking play known as the De schapelle coup.

ARREST OF SURVEYOR BY MACAO AUTHORITIES
Canton, Nov. 16.
The National Government has been urged to take immediate steps to settle the Wang Chien vil- lage incident in which an ofein! surveyor of the Chungshan din- trict Government was alleged to have been detained by the Portu guese authorities In Macno. A telegram was sent to Nanking by the South-West Provinces People's Foreign Affairs Association with the request and made public to day.
The Chungshan district Gov ernment sent a surveyor to aseer- tain the boundary limits of Wang Chien village and places border- ing on Macao in view of frequent reported attempts by the Portu- xuene Government to occupy that village. The surveyor was arrest- ed by the authorities in Macao and placed aboard a Portuguese guns boat to be tried by court martial." At the same time, Mr. Tang Shao- yl. Magistrate of Chungshan, was asked to be present at the court marilal but he refused to accede. The surveyor was eventually re- leased.
In an Indignant vein, the tele gram says that "Wang Chien vil- lage fa within the boundary of the Chungshan district. Since it is Chinese territory, no foreign coun- try should be allowed to occupy it. The Macao Government committed a gross outrage by arresting-the surveyor, and if no effort is made to check this encroachment, future dangers are beyond contempla-
tion."
The Foreign Affairs Associa- tion strongly implored the Na- tional Government through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to up- hold Chinese territorial integrity by settling the incident as soon as possible. Other public here strongly resent the action of the Macno Government and are- likewise asking the Nanking' Goy- ernment to tako positive action re- garding the matter.-Central Press.
