CNN owner Ted Turner earlier this Ear promised to send a decoder to ivana, but the State Department has warned that the trade embargo with Cuba prevents such a gift "We would never do anything to endanger VS. policy," the spokeswoman said.

At a news conference to mark the advent of scrambling. CNN announced a venture with Home Box Office, which started encrypting its HBO and Cinemax movie channels Jan. IS. Customers callirg HBO to subscribe can order CNN at the same time. A similar deal is expected to be reached Tuesday or Wednesday with Showtime and the Movie Channel, which started scrambling May 27.

CNN also announced that a Chicago firm, Anixter Communications, would offer dish owners a year of CNN free if they purchase the necessary decoders, manufactured by MA Comm. through Anixter by calling a toll-free number between July 1 and Jul 4 NARTIVmCwI About 11.000 Americans own decoders and virtually all either have subscribed or are expected to subscribe to CNN. a spokesman said. Earlier this month, HBO and Showtime announced special discount rates for home dish owners who subscribe for a full year. An HBO spokesman, contacted in New York, said many more discount packages and "one-stop shopping' arrangements will likely be offered as an increasing number of networks scramble Scrambling has sparked protests from many home dish owners, who complain they will be charged too much to see the programs they used to get free.

Most don't mind paying, but they point out that they, unlike cable TV subscribers, have paid for the necessary hardware. They fear that all decoders will not be able to unscramble all networks. On April 27, a video marauder calling himself "Captain Midnight" briefly interrupted an HBO movie to transmit his own signal protesting scrambling and HBO's monthly fee. Bv SIDNEY SHAW mi i WASHINGTON Cable News Network and CNN Headline Newt have scrambled their satellite TV signals starting today, shotting out home dish owners including Cuban president Fidel Castro who previously snared the programming free. The scrambling will not attect viewers who receive CNN over their local cable companies.

However, subscribers to Group Cable, in the Quad-City area reported that their CNN channel was scrambled early today. A Group spokesman said that situation would be corrected today. Cox Cable subscribers in the area were receiving the CNN channel today as usual. At 12 01 am. EOT.

today, the two networks became the nation's fifth and sixth cable program services to scramble. To receive the networks, the nation's estimated 1.7 million home dish owners will have to buy a special decoder for and pay 25 a year, officials of the Atlanta network said Monday. Castro, an avid news and sports fan who has long picked up CNN on his satellite dish, will be left in the dark. cbnImw uZZl om4 "car IwwwijcNi fa rk AAA Chinpunthe iwy rDsrkf HiOWi a- MFL Vast 41 Ma Si itrs MDiMll kBog- Moo On 5tt( Wsfcsn rvKMGlt mwood Met Mornrty) PG-'l 85) sss SkMO) (1. i't HPoug Mro CT Wry Stfwut) Mm naSn 6 Star Fsndsngs Show Wkica Wt tan Ti .1 mien lOISwttr BEngsKS Wlctt- Hw 9m mft lOanc 1M oit Si 69i ivvf Nmm 1 1 WwwHpMf twc tOw OOSimeflaSifiMM CBN: Celebrity Diet SPAN: Today Horoscopes The A-Tmm (ft) (CCt Who's tw BomT (R) SIN: Engine SV: Super Sport America USA: Movie: "The Compleat Beatles" WGN: Movie: "Sole Surwor" 7:30 Crowing Pains (R) 9 CD My Favorite Mart QOarkShadows DARK SHADOWS LIVES ON wQPTI OlN TMC: Movie: tosm IT WTTW: This Old House (CO 30 AMBR: Impact SPAN: Viewer CeS-m NASH: New Country SIN: Que Not PSMt SV: At she Urn WTTW: 'ruga!

NORTH 4 VQ102 0KQJ4 AKJ74 WEST EAST 4)1085 4)AJ? 9AKJ976 953 076 0A108S2 103 4Q96 SOUTH OKQ9SS2 784 093 48S2 The bidding: South West North East 2 4 Pass Pass Pass Opening lead: King of 9 Playing card games was regarded by old-line communists as a bourgeois pastime. As a result, it was not until the 1960s that an Iron Curtain country made its appearance in international bridge competition. Poland was the first, West took his two top hearts and shifted to a diamond. Przybora took dummy's king with the act and returned the suit in the hope that his partner held a singleton. Dummy won and a low spade was led; Przybora inserted the Jack, the critical play! That could hardly cost, since declarer would probably have opened three spades had he held a seven-card suit, and with a six-card suit missing the ace-jack declarer would finesse the ten.

Declarer won the king and returned a low spade. West won with the eight, led a heart for his partner to ruff with the ace, and East's diamond return promoted West's ten of trumps to the setting trick. Had East played a low spade on the first lead of the suit, he would have had no way to get to his partner's hand as long as declarer ruffs the third diamond with the queen. The defenders would have been held to two trump tricks and the contract would have succeeded. and has remained the strongest.

The Poles have a nucleus of very talented players, two of whom have been nominated as Royal Viking Line's "Player of the Year." Tomast Przybora is a stalwart of Polish national teams and one of the world's great card players. He complains that "too many bridge players learn to play by rote; there is a bridge adage for almost every occasion." These rubrics cover general situations, and should not mindlessly be applied to every hand. He takes particular exception to "second hand low." "Quite often you have to play an unnecessarily high card in second position sometimes to force declarer to win in a particular hand, sometimes to preserve communications with partner." He cites the hand above as one of his favorites. South's weak two-spade opening bid ended the auction at some other vulnerability, West might have competed with three hearts. v- I TC FOCUS is a current events feature and quiz every weekday in the Daily Dispatch and The TUESDAY wmmm If 1WP There are more reason's than ever to choose the 1986-87 Amentech Bell Quad Cities Yellow Rages for your advertising.
