SIX EDJILOMS Thursday. February 17, 1983 The Arizona RtpabHe rvv More than 1 million watch BBC's morning show Update Republic Wire Service The British Broadcasting new breakfast television show draws an average 1.6 million viewers, twice as many as its 2-week-old competing network TV-AM, according to figures published Wednesday. But BBC's Breakfast Time is silent on weekends, and TV-AM's Good Morning, Britain has the attention of 1.3 million on Saturday mornings, the Broadcasting Audience Research Bureau said. The two networks' combined audience on weekdays makes up 12 percent of Britain's potential total of 20 million.

The Your Love to its musical pitches and "rhythmic impulses." In the second day of a trial in which a suburban Chicago songwriter is trying to prove that the Bee Gees stole his tune, Arrand Parsons, a music professor at Northwestern University, said he had performed a scholarly analysis of How Deep Is Your Love and Let It End. The latter is a copyrighted song by Ronald H. Selle of Hazel Crest, who brought the suit. "The two songs have such striking similarities that they could not have been written independent of one another," Parsons testified. Selle testified briefly early Tuesday, and admitted under cross-examination that the opening of his song bore a resemblance to the opening of the Beatles song From Me towt-.

He blamed "coincidence." LAWYER PLANS SUIT Lawyer FpLeV-Bailey said Wednesday he would fil( juit against Newsweek because the used the phrase "beat the rap" to his acquittal on a drunken-driving charge California. Bailey said the phrase "is well known 7T as a statement that you were guilty but you got off." The phrase occurs in the Feb. 14 issue of Newsweek in an article containing en-unflattering review of Bailey's televjsionL show, Lie Detector. Bailey said his attorney in D.C., has already notified Newsweek o' "start your retraction. You will be sued." mansion is an officially listed historic building.

The Windsor and Maidenhead council sent back the application with a lecture. "It's a disgrace that a man of his means should have tried to get a handout in the first place," council official Kevin White told the Standard newspaper.

Friday, Kerr Cultural Center. ON TV because of damages sustained by Channel 15's decision. ON TV is intent on expanding Adults Only, a service that is unique to ON TV in the Valley, and is expected to add a second adult feature to its Thursday night lineup in April. Double features currently appear only on Saturdays and Sundays. Adults Only is regarded by some industry observers as being ON TV's most attractive fare, in terms of drawing customers, and that without it, the subscription company would suffer further from subscriber abandonment.

The court case primarily revolves around two issues: expansion of ON TV's hours and the moral attractiveness of Adults Only. ON TV seeks an injunction that would force Channel 15 to turn over its air time. Under Federal Communications Commission rules, Channel 15 is licensed to operate responsibly in the community. The station, which has exclusive authority to regulate its programming for the community, currently deems a majority of the films to be objectionable and is concerned that the content may jeopardize the station's chances of having its broadcast license renewed. A similar case regarding the televising of adult movies went to state district court in Fort Worth, Texas, last December.

ON TV filed suit against KTXA-TV (Channel 21) after the station decided the films were objectionable and started pre-empting them. The judge ruled in KTXA-TV's favor, and the station has ceased airing ON TV films that it judges to be unsuitable. ON TV has appealed. Television Continued from Dll meager $300 per-hour charge that ON TV pays. Channel 15's move toward halting or cleansing ON TV's Adults Only fare can be viewed from two perspectives: The fact that Channel 15 has allowed the skin flicks to air for the last two-plus years suggests that its current objection is partly a rebuttal tactic to complicate the contractual issue.

However, the independent station believes the question of whether the movies violate community standards is a legitimate concern. Channel 15 has filed a counterclaim (or the same amount. A victory for ON TV, which would no doubt be appealed, could breathe ne life, into the subscription service, which has been; working on a new marketing and programming strategy to help curb its skid -in subscribership; a defeat, which would, also; likely be appealed, could further hurt ON TV. Because the case is scheduled for courts neither Fettig nor Channel 15 General Manager Ed Cooperstein would comment on. the dispute.

East won and led a third club. South ruffed, led a spade to dummy's nine, won the heart finesse, cashed the ace of hearts, led a spade to dummy's queen and then ruffed a club with the ace of diamonds. West held a heart and three diamonds. If West discarded the heart he would have to ruff declarer's heart lead and lead from the J-9 of diamonds, allowing declarer to take the last two tricks. Instead, West discarded a trump so that his partner could win the third round of hearts.

With East on lead, West could easily win one of the last two tricks with the jack or nine of diamonds. West's brilliance stopped a 20-point over-trick, quite unimportant at rubber bridge, but vital in a tournament QUESTION: You open with one club, partner bids one heart, and you raise to two hearts. Partner now bids three clubs. The opponents pass. You hold: A 84 2 K10 84 None 10 4 2.

What do you say? ANSWER: Bid four hearts. After the agreement on hearts, partner's bid of three clubs is not an attempt to get out of hearts but asks you to bid three hearts with minimum values or four hearts with extra values.
