n-n Sunday, April 14, 198S THE CINCINNATI ENQUIRER Sew Law Seldom Does Bridge Player Impose His Will Upon Another '214' Vvm Require Radio To Have FM Bands About STAMPS COINS By F. Lee Stegemeyer Next in the roundup of commemorative U. S. coins Is the $1 gold piece Issued In 1918 and 1917 picturing William B. McKlnley.

He was the 25th President of the United states, and the i mmrm www I'; 4 is WEST PASSED North bid two club3. East bid two hearts and South Jumped to four spades. One of Mr. Cordes' questions Is whether or not we approve of the Jump to game. We not only approve of It but we will go him one better: At duplicate, with nelher side vulnerable, we would have opened the bidding with four spades.

Our reasons for this bid, sound or not, are (1) that we have no defense against any bid opponents may make either of these bids; notrump and it Is unlikely that either opponent will make either of these bids: (2) there is a heart suit out somewhere and If opponents have it we want to make it as difficult as possible for them to find It and, (3) if partner has some strength we should be able to make four spades, and if he has a rock-crusher he will try for better things. IF PARTNER HAS a worthless hand, opponents must have a game somewhere, and if we can buy the contract, undoubted, the penalty should not be too severe. On the play of this hand West led a low heart which South ruffed. A diamond was led. West won with the ace and led another heart.

South ruffed, led a diamond to dummy's king and got back to his hand with the queen of clubs. A low diamond was led and ruffed with dummy's king of spades. South then drew trumps and claimed the remaining tricks with the good diamonds. He did not even need dummy's ace and king of clubs. NEW CLASSES The first meeting of a class for beginners will be held at 5 p.

m. Sunday, April 21, at 4009 Diehl Road, Silverton, under the direct-tlon of Harry G. Phillips. Reservations and further information may be obtained by calling Mr. Phillips.

The Clermont County YWCA, Batavia, Ohio, will sponsor classes in duplicate bridge on Wednesday evenings from 7:30 p. to 9:30 p. m. Rules of play and scoring will 1e given by Mrs. Ann Garner and Miss Ruth qiaae at YWCA quarters, 55gQh Fourth Batavia.

The class will meet each Wednesday for eight weeks. The Kibitzer BY FRANCES TYLER While we do not always see eye-to-eye with the bidding on hands that are submitted to us for comments, we are always glad to hear from the players. Furthermore, It gives us a feeling of great satisfaction when we find that a hand has been bid exactly as we would have bid It. If we are sometimes disappointed, that this is not the case, we have only to remind ourselves that bridge Is the game that called forth the phrase: "To Each His Own," Bridge players are a stubborn lot and If you think sauce for the gander Is sauce for the goose, you are very much mistaken. The ganders like to do It their way and the geese like It their way.

The only suggestion we can make is that you try to adjust to this unfortunate state of affairs. Your partners probably think the same of your method as you do of theirs and it is doubtful that any bridge player has ever imposed his will on another bridge player, with the possible exception of Charles H. Goren, and even his will is often misinterpreted. THE HAND BELOW has been sent in by Howard F. Cordes, with a request for comments on the bidding, particularly on South's Jump to four spades.

The hand was played at the Hyde Park Bridge Club which meets each Thursday at the Williams YMCA under the direction of Mrs. W. E. Caldwell. North (Mrs.

Hallock) K4 987 3 2 AK 1085 West East 98 7 6 3 5 2 A 10 6 4 A 7 10 3 J942 762 South (Mr. Cordes) AQJ1052 None J98654 The North hand was held by Mrs. Gail Hallock and Mr. Cordes was South, With neither side vulnerable South, the dealer, opened the bidding with one spade. Would Radio The proverbial camel that got a nose in the tent with the all-channel TV law can add a bulky shoulder W(th the Okonskl radio bill.

WHILE A CITY is swept with violence, carrying on as usual probably is the best policy for radio. But it can take on an air of eerie unreality. Last Monday, it was hard to be sure which was the more detached from reality, the bland syrup of automated music, or disc Jockeys who tried to keep on talking as if nothing had happened. UNDER THE circumstances, the comparison may be natural. But, Just as a matter of setting the record straight, the broadcasters have not made more of the assassination of Dr.

Martin Luther King Jr. than they did of President John F. Kennedy's assassination. Comments to the effect that they did have been heard with a frequency that adds a baffling sidelight to the events of the past week. When the President was assassinated in 1963, the Kennedy story monopolized broadcasting from Friday afternoon until the following Tuesday morning.

On radio and TV, on the networks and independent stations alike, there was nothing but the Kennedy story or somber music for more than 80 hours. This is a matter of record, though it seems to have been forgotten. Broadcasts in connection with the death of Dr. King did not begin to match the wall-to-wall Kennedy coverage. Even on the day of the King funeral, many stations continued with regular schedules.

The networks will be able to show how wide the difference was, when their logs are complete. It may be a waste of ammunition to blast a misconception so clearly erroneous. But notions Just as groundless already have borne deadly fruit. ANOTHER CBS OWNED station, WBBM, Chicago, will switch to an all-news format on May 5. This may seem a normal extension of the all-news policy adopted some time ago by the network's WCBS, New York.

But the Chicago station, already is notable for the generous amount of its talk" programming. No doubt this is expected to help the transition to all-news. ThA crs move also sug gests that news around the clock is not for enterprising amateurs with shoestring budgets. But at any rate, the WBBM venture will give Cincinnati dialers a chance to Judge the desirability of continuous news.

The water was quickly drained and now the problem is to get Tasha back where she belongs. Zoo officials hope she will become hungry enough to climb a rope net which will be dropped down a sloping area opposite the sheer wall.

BY MAGEE ADAMS YOU NOW HAVE the legal right to walk openly into a shop and decide to buy an AM-FM radio. In fact, If that is your preference, you also have the alternative of buying an FM only radio. But if Rep. Alvtn Okonskl Wis.) has his way, this familiar freedom of choice will be Just a memory. Representative Okonskl has Introduced a bill that would require all radios to include both the AM and FM bands.

His measure obviously Is patterned after the all-channel TV law that now requires video sets to Include both the VHF and UHF bands, regardless of what the customer wishes. But this ancestry merely makes the Okonskl bill the more indefensible and pernicious. The all-channel TV law was crammed through Congress on the pretext that the UHF band could be saved from extinction only by forcing people to buy receiving gear. The Okonskl bill can plead no such "end Justifies the means" excuse for its brass knuckled paternalism. FM RADIO NEEDS no rescue expedition to snatch it back from the brink of disaster.

It is doing well, in fact, quite well, on its own, and in the normal course of competition. Except for small and inexpensive models, there is an abundance of AM-FM radios. And no law is going to solve the design problems that keep FM out of shirt pocket sets. For that matter, it has been suggested that the real intent of the Okonskl bill is not so much to help FM, as to assure a future for AM radio. That would be an intriguing turnabout Indeed, and one made plausible by the steady and substantial gains of FM.

REGARDLESS OF its purpose, however, the Okonskl bill is a clear threat to the freedom of choice that Is a cherished American right and economic necessity. And Ironically, that freedom is being threatened at the moment when the consumer is the presumed darling of Congress. If by some mischance, the Okonski bill gets out of committee, it should be amended to require that all disc record players include tape decks. That might serve to show how far its fascile logic can be stretched. Plan New Probe Into Education WASHINGTON The National Education Associ ation (NEA) announced plans Saturday for a major investigation of critical educational problems in urban areas throughout the nation.

Executive Secretary Sam Lambert said a task force representing NEA and five of its key departments will make what he called a massive effort to probe urban education problems and to reccommend a course of action for the teaching profession. Several Ham Groups Assisting Foreign Medical Teams GOREN On Bridge coins were issued 15 years after his assassination. The most notable event of his first term In office was the Spanish-American War.

FORMATi Instrumental two houTs, BY CHARLES H. GOREN Q. 1 As South, vulnerable, you hold: 4.K943 $KQ9 K2 The bidding has proceeded: West North East South pass 1 Pass 10 Pass 2. Pass What do you bid now? A. Two no-trump.

You have 11 points in high cards which justifies another forward move. The most likely game possibility seems to be in no-trump and such a suggestion is in order for the responding hand even when he has a suit unprotected. Q. 2 Neither vulnerable, as South you hold: 4.K74 VKS OA1063 Q1075 The bidding has proceeded: West North East Sooth Pass I Pass 10 Pass Pass 4 Pass 4 0 Pass Pass 5 Pass What do you bid now? A. Six no-trump.

Your side obviously possesses sufficient values to take 12 tricks but, the spade suit appears to be partner's weak spot and an opening lead through your king could prove fatal. Q. 3 Both vulnerable, as South you hold: 4.A1095 KQ74 The bidding has proceeded: West North East South Pass lA what do jpa bid? A. Pass. Although it does not suit our taste to remain silent on a hand of this strength any offensive maneuver is fraught with great danger.

Furthermore, there Is always the pros pect, that the enemy will go too far which Is usually the best chance for a substantial profit on a holding of this type. Q. 4 As South, vulnerable, you hold: eA942 0A Q10 The bidding has proceeded: East South West North Pass 2 Pass Pass What do you bid now? A Double. Partner Is almost certainly marked with a singleton heart so that his distribution should prove good for your hand. In fact, if he has spades, a game may be contemplated.

If his bid is In one of the minors and the opponents proceed to three hearts you should not double, however. Just be content with the knowledge that you have pushed them one higher. Q. 5 As South, vulnerable, you hold: K4 3 9J88 OK107 10964 The biddufg has proceeded: North East South West 19 Past INT Pass 2 al. Pass What do you bid now? A.

Three hearts. Take a great big demerit for a pass. Partner has more hearts than spades, otherwise he would have bid spades first. Furthermore, he must have a fine hand since you are forced to show a heart preference at the three level. Therefore, your bid shows no very great values.

q. vulnerable, as South you bold: 10975 VJS OAQ5J953 The bidding has proceeded: West North East South, 10 TJble. 19 What do yon bid? A. One spade. With nine points you have distinctly enough to offer a free bid even though your suit is very shabby.

If you don't take action immediately it may be difficult to make up for it later and an opportunity to score, might be missed. Sunday WKRC 550 TlVfi J4 hours. FORMATi Pop music end personalities. Newst On rha hour. WIW 700 TIMEi 24 hours.
