FHEY A projwr pre-eniptive bid gives partner clear picture of what to expect, but robs the opponents of room in which to get clear picture of what they hold. is axiomatic, therefore, that pre-emptive bidding is a weapon that should be called upon at every opportunity for which its use can be justified.

Kven when pre-emptive tactics fall to buy the contract at a bargain price, they may push the opponents into something other Ihnn their best contract. N-S NORTH (D) S. A 5 2 H. 3 D. 8 7 5 3 C.

Willi so many losers, It appeared most unlikely that eleven tricks could be made, yet South haled tc stop short of game. While it is rot desirable to bid a weak four-card major at the Soulh hoped that Norlli mighl also have four spades loo weak to mention over the three-heart call. was aware Ihnl South might lie on a four-carder, but he, loo, feared to contract for eleven tricks. North hoped that Sonlh's suit was strong enough to be playable, inasmuch as his short trump hand could protect Hie third 'round of hearts. After two heart tricks, West switched lo the diamond jnck.

South won the ace, led a small spade to dummy's ace, and noted the fall of West's jack. A small spade was returned, and declarer finessed with the eight- spot. If West had the spade queen, declarer could win any return and draw East's outstanding trumps, needing only club or a diamond break to make the contract. Even if East stopped belli clubs and diamonds, declarer could still make the hrimi by squeezing him. Keen defense by West might have beaten the contract.

West could surmise that South could have only four trumps. If so. West should lead another heart at tricK North could ruff, nnd East would sluff a diamond. Even tliough South guessed the spade siiualion, East would ruff the second diamond and exit with a club. South could not pick up East's last trump.

In Hie actual after West showed out on the second round of Soulh.simply played diamonds until East ruffed. Dummy was cnlereci via club, nnd another finesse through East scaled the defenders' doom.

This is a far cry from the days of Stalin and his a i a ad- i and imitator, Matyas.Rako- si, when enthusiasm for things Western was regarded as suspect and practically criminal. Although there are only 13 juke boxes in the country nt the moment, the catering industry could easily absorb another 100, according lo Vilmos Bcnedek, a senior official in Ihc state import-export trailing concern known as Elck- troimpex. About half of tbcse shiny music- makers arc of American make-- they arc the more popular--and the rest are West German.
