FEW players realize the potential value of a trump holding like Miss Brash's in today's deal, especially where the declarer can be forced to ruff one or more times.

Not that Miss Brash's double of the four spade contract is to be recommended. It was highly speculative, but successful nevertheless. East dealer. Both sides vulnerable. 1 Mr.

This time Mr. Muzzy ruffed with the Jack of spades and again Miss Brash discarded a club.

At this stage, Mr. Muzzy's highest remaining trump was the queen. His "solid" trump suit, buffeted about by repeated diamond leads from the enemy, had taken on a somewhat shabby look. The ace, king, jack 10 had been played and somehow Miss Brash manaped to have left the guarded nine spot, which took the trick. "This Is a good example of what I have been telling you, about not winning a trick at your first opportunity, Muzzy," said Mr.

Champion. "My partner passed up her first chance to win with the ace of spades and that play eventually let her win a trick with the nine. Why don't you catch on to those things?" As usual, Mr. Champion paid dearly for giving this "lesson," because Mr. Muzzy followed his advice on the next deal.

Add a dash of it to onion rings, which you have cooked until golden in butter, and serve the onions with hamburgers or steak. A little of the sauce added to canned mushroom soup Is a happy touch.

This Is great classic example of the "little does he know that I am Prince Wertenberg von Holsteln" type of line, which automatically lead to "little does he know that I know that he is and so forth.

In the distance the winking lights of Sai Francisco beckoned, promising many things. This was the scene and the lure on a recent night before the salt-reddened eyes of Floyd P. Wilson, 41 years old, who killed a man in 1947 in an attempt to rob a store in Washington, DC. Wilson, a life-termer, was standing on a tiny beach on the boulder-strewn shoie of Alcatraz, a springboard to freedom dreamed of almost constantly but seuhm attained by escape-minded convicts on the "unbeatable Rock." The waterway to the mainland was open at long last Only one devastating fact caused him to hesitate: he was not a good swimmer. Yet he stood there contemplating escape across a water barrier that for 22 years has defeated escape attempts by men more violent than Wilson.

For 11V4 hours he struggled vainly to summon up the courage to brave the cold water and strike out for the mainland despite his handicap. Success would have made him the first convict to shatter the escape-proof reputation of America's toughest prison. In the end, he was caught in the probing light beams of a guard search force and hauled dripping wet from his surf-battered hiding place. Failure was complete. Still another convict didn't make it and the Alcatraz reputation remained unblemished.

Nevertheless Wilson's disappearance from a guarded trusty work gang on the Alcatraz boat dock late in the afternoon had given prison authorities a big East Pass The queen ROUTE, IN FOREGROUND, TAKEN 1Y CONVICT ROYD P. WILSON IN THE LATEST ATTEMPT TO ESCAPE FROM ALCATRAZ PRISON IN SAN FRANCISCO BAY. FROM DOCK (X) WHERE HE SLIPPED AWAY WHILE WORKINS HE FOLLOWED DOTTED LINE TO HIDING PLACE WHERE HE WAS CAPTURED. Champion overtook with the king and led back the Jack. At this point Mr.

Muzzy spread his hand on the table and claimed 10 tricks. "Give you three aces and I have the rest," he said. This 'was not acceptable to Miss Brash and Mr. Champion, who insisted that the hand be played "But what can I lose except three aces?" Mr. Muzzy Insisted.

"The rest of my hand is solid." "Even if that were true, which It Isn't," said Mr. Champion, "I'd Still want you to play it out. You might revoke or something," Convinced that his opponents were within their rights, Mr. Muzzy continued the play. He ruffed the second diamond with the 10 of spades and Miss Brash won with the ace and returned a club.

JOHN CROSIY everyone Is passing himself off as some-body else in an attempt to make time with somebody else's wife. "ROSALINDA," IN SHORT, is unabashed schmaltz and a lot of fun, especially when performed by as capable a cast as that assembled by the Los Angeles and San Francisco Light Opera Association for this production, which was altogether sumptuous. Cyril Hitch-ard, a wonderful comedian, set the tone of the proceedings right at the outset by singing or rather reciting a song to the effect that no one had any Inhibitions In Vienna, despite the fact that Freud lived right down the street. Plotwise, things then get delirious. Ritchard is ordered to jail for protesting against an opera singer who is serenading Ritchsrd's wife.

But before going to jail he attends, naturally, the Prince's ball, where he palms himself off as a marquis. The singer, surprised in the wife's boudoir, is trundled off to jail, mistaken for Ritchard. Meanwhile, back at the ball. Ritchard Is making a pass at a masked Hungarian girl who is really his owa wife. have never been in love with a Hungarian before." "Nobody has."

No trace of them has ever turned up and authorities have long since become convinced that Roe and Cole were caught in the turbulent tidewaters and swept out to sea. About a year later three of the most hardened criminals in. Alcatraz beat a guard to death in an escape attempt. They were Thomas R.

Limerick, Rufus Franklin and James C. Lucas. Limerick was shot and killed before any of the three reached the water. Franklin and Lucas were subdued. Four outlaws made an attempt to swim away on April 12, 1943, after tying two guards and leaping 30 feet down a sheer cliff.

One of them, James A. Boar-man, actually got into, the water and began to crawl-stroke his way toward San Francisco. He sank in the choppy water when a guard's bullet hit him. Two of his fellow convicts, Harold Brest and Fred Hunter, were recaptured within an hour and the fourth man, Floyd G. Hamilton, hid out for three odds were stacked so overwhelmingly against him.

"He is a close-mouthed Individual," Warden Madigan said. "We can't get much out of him. I don't believe he had any confederates due to pick him up in a boat. The men in Alcatraz don't have that kind of imagination." THE latter part of the warden's statement is open to some question. Maybe Al (Scarface) Capone, Harvey (Machine Gun) Kelly and numerous other Alcatraz desperadoes did not show sufficient imagination to try to escape, but others have, although with disastrous results.

Bank robbers Ralph Roe and Theodore Cole chose a foggy day In 1937 to drop out of a prison shop window and plunge into the bay. The fog, perhaps the souplest of that year on San Francisco Bay, shielded them from gunfire as they undoubtedly thought it would. But lacking tidal reports, Roe and Cole had no way of knowing the bay was bankful at the time with the highest tide of the year rushing out through days In alvatery cave. Before he got to Alcatraz, Hamilton was one of the most-wanted men in the nation. In August 1943, Ted Huron Walters, a bank robber, managed to sneak out of the prison laundry.

He stopped at the waters' edge where guards found him in an hour. MOST Imaginative, known escape attempt was prob-ly the long-planned plot put into execution In 1945 by John E. Giles. He carefully assembled an Army staff sergeant's uniform, garment by garment, un-til he even had fake dog tags.

A count after the boat's de, parture showed one convict missing on Alcatraz and one soldier too many on the launch. When the launch arrived at Angel Island guards were wait-ing for the phony sergeant. VO.

I I particularly liked a trio in which wife, husband maid sang about how tragic a parting it all was, each 1 of them having launched a separate stratagem for the evening. There were, half a dozen of these little melodic exchanges which were enough to make the whole and a half worth while.

THIS IS WHAT IS KNOWN as summer entertain- i ment. There Is a theory that in summer the people like to look at spectacles. The fact that thousands flock to Jones Beach to see the extravaganzas there, i and that other thousands in Rome go to the outdoor operas would seem to Indicate it is a very sound theory indeed. There's no reason why television should not cut itself into this love of spectacle in the summer time.

The topic for today then is what about masonry homes those with outside walls of brick, stucco, concrete blocks, cinder blocks or asbestos siding. Do they require painting or don't they? If they do, how often and what sort of paint? As a general rule, masonry surfaces don't need the protection of paint to withstand the weather. If the material has been properly applied and is of good quality it should last almost indefinitely without much maintenance except for repoint-ing the mortar joints between brick or blocks. The primary reason for painting any masonry surface is to change its color or because over a period of years it has become stained and you'll usually find that it's easier to paint over a lot of stains than to try. and get rid of them.

There are times, however when paint Is desirable from the standpoint of upkeep. Take, for example, a stucco wall where small surface cracks have appeared. These cracks aren't serious as they now stand but if moisture gets into them and freezes it will make them bigger and eventually you'll have a leaky wall. The best way to handle these cracks Is to give the wall a coat of masonry paint. This will seal them and prevent further trouble.

The mortar joints between brick and masonry block are also likely to crack or be porous unless they were made with care. You can repoint the joints but if they are just porous and covered with fine cracks, paint will also do the trick or you can use a clear waterproofing compound. Because the action of the weather on masonry won't have much effect on it, you don't have to worry about repainting until the old coat of paint has begun to wear off.

6-3200 24-HOUR PHONE SERVICE Answer to Question 1. TRUE, two kinds, as pointed out by psychologist Fred McKinney in his fine book, "Psychology of Personal Adjustment," (1) Persons who live in a dream world, who have a romantic "ideal" husband or wife, a combination of 24-hour beauty, charm, perfect health, poise, versatility, vivacity and an endless bank account. Such beings don't exist. (2) Chronically unhappy people. Unless they can cure their unhappiness, marriage won't cure it as they believe it will.

It usually makes it worse. I Answer to Question 2. No, about 90 per cent false. For example: Factory workers of long experience have as many accidents as the inexperienced. The first year automobile drivers have fewer accidents than later on when they have learned by experience.

Married couples learn practically nothing from experience. They quarrel as much at 50 and 70 as at 25, chiefly because they don't grow up emotionally. Most persons are as big fools at 40 as at 15. They never grow beyond 10- and 12-year-old children. Answer to Question 3.
