North should blà two hearts ratner than support the spade suit, is it is not advisable to support partner's ault unless you hold four of His trump if your hand has a octter bid. East, not belog vulnerable, is justified in over- calling" with three diamonds. South's three spades over East'a three diamonds is a constructive bid-practically the same as a bid of four spades.

With the information that part- ner holds at least a five-card sult, and does not have support for the heart sult, North now can support! the apado ault to four. When South bids five spades, he prac-) tically shows 100 honours and ho Is saying that, if North has im- mediate control of the heart suit, there probably is a slam in the hand.

Due to the fact that East has Tau.26634.13A, QUEEN'S ROAD C.TIL26635-

bld diamonds, North has a right to figure his partner for the ace of clubs. He knowa that the spade suit is solid, but the dunger of the hand is the king of dia- monds. If South plays the hand at spadea, the diamond suit will! be opened through North's king, and East and West may cash two diamond tricks.

However, if Enst is forced to open, he will have to open another auit or up to North's king of dia- monds, in which case, only one diamond trick will be lost. There- fore, North must decide that, evon though South may hold, honours, the safety of the hand is playing] it in hearts.

In other words, the timing fac- tor of the opening lead is in favour of hearts o trump. Therefore, North's bid of six hearts is cor rect and South should pass,

If East opens the ace of din- monds, the contract will be held to a small slara. However, with any other opening, North and South will make a grand slam, while at spades only five odd could be made.
