The War Ofßee authorities have decided, in this connexion to form an independent fight regiment with theso "patriotic" planes with a Major General as commander.

The report says it is understood the new independent Air Force re- giment will be allotted for the aerial defence of the capital and other important places in Japan. The existing Air Force regiments will naturally be transferred to the north-eastern part of Japan,

East could see that the clubs were going to break and that three valuable discards would be afford- ed the declarer. The only entry the declarer had into the dummy, however, was the king of trump. East boldly led the king of hearts hoping that the declurer trump in the dummy with the seven of spades. It would then have been impossible for him to pick up the trump and still get into the dummy to make his good club. But the declarer refused

He then led the ace and apado, winning the second spade in dummy with the king, The three good clubs were then cash- ed, declarer discarding three los- ing diamonds from his own hand.

It is not very often that the proper play is to deliberately lead a card that the declarer can ruff in one hand and sluff in the other, but if the declarer had made the mistake of rufing in the wrong hand, it was the only possible play that would defeat the declarer's

contract.
