South's two notrump was one of those horrible bidy made by a play- er who likes to "play all the hands. One club, of course, was the correct opening bid.

West opened the heart queen and declarer held up the nce, thus prov ing that his ploy was no better then his bidding. West could now count that the ace was the only outstand- ing heart, but he saw that it would be pointless to continue with hearts. Rather than besiege an Impreg- nable position, West shifted to the diamond deuce, and from that point on declarer was in trouble,

The point is that, due to declar- silly hold-up ut, the first trick er's (after East's heart nine drop, sure- ly declarer had nothing to fear from the heart sult) he had put himself position in which it was neees- shry

to guess the diamond situation exactly. As it happened, he guessed wrong and played the jack to the second diamond tead. The queeri won, and a diamond return estab- lished East's long diamond. When East took the lead with his club stopper, he cashed this diamond for the setting trick.

Wynford Vaughan Thomas, with a BBC microphone at the bombed Royal Hospital, Chelsea: Old soldiers of past wars, one aged 101, were killed when the infirmary of the Royal Hospital was struck by bombs during a recent air raid on London. In this picture, an old pensioner and a nurse who helped in the rescue work are being interviewed for one of the series of programmes "Something Going on in Britain Now.". The historic and beautiful home of the Chelsea Pensioners was founded by Charles II at, according to legend, the wish of Nell Gwynn, and the architect was Sir Christopher Wren.
