London, Sept. 15.

Six years ago today, we stood on the roof of the Associated Press offices in London and watch- ed the Royal Air Force win the Battle of Britain.

Forgetting the danger, we cheered as lengthening smoke trails marked the end of another Ger- man plane. Altogether, 185 enemy aircraft were brought to the ground that day, ending Hermann Goering's dream of a quick defeat of Britain through air power. Things have changed since then, rehousing problem, are moving as A spirit of unrest, dissatisfaction, "squatters" into de-requisitioned Irritation and self-socking now West End apartment buildings seems to characterize the British and large houses in deflando of tho people, as we look back to the law.

At one table, a spade was led, South winning. He could count two spades, a heart, and two diamonds, so needed four club tricks for the, gardo. He there fore went over to the dummy with the King of diamonds to start the clubs. The Arst lead. from the dummy was the Jack | of clubs, which held the trick. But on the next club trick, South had to win since all of his clubs were

higher than dummy's. He couldn't get to the dummy for another club fincaso and therefore made only threo club tricks.

At the other table, the de- clarer decided not to get stuck in his own hand on the second round of clubs, So he dropped the ten of clubs on dummy's Jock, intending to lead the nino of clubs next and let the lead stay in the dummy. But when dummy then led the nine of clubs, East covered with the King. South soon found that: he had a worthless three of cluba while East had the eight to beat it. So ho also made only three club tricks.

The successful declarers led the right card for the
