Miller, one of five city planning commissioners who offered to emit last week if it would help correct "conditions" on the commission, has officially resigned.

Miller's original resignation, along with the other four, was returned by Mayor John C. Houlihan after the latter failed to get City Council support of his effort to oust Com missioners Albert E. Lobello and Vernon C. Buell. In Chicago during the battle last week, Miller has since returned and sent his new resignation to Houlihan by special delivery letter last night.

Miller, who is president and executive director of Music Operators of America, also commends City Mgr. Wayne E. Thompson for appointing Norman J.

He praised Miller for his contribution while a member of the seven-man commission. Earlier, Houlihan nominated Edward S. Waldie, trucking firm executive, to succeed himself on the commission.

POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENT -k i THE MAN AS CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR TONIGHT AT 9:00 P.M. KTVU-CT ARENA RALLY. OVER IN MIAMI! Churchill Simplifies By FLORENCE OSBORN "Churchill bidding can be simpler, even for the average player, than the a of formulae and confusion' of convention that has become a part of standard bidding," writes Paul K. Boardman, of St. Petersburg, one of S.

Garton Churchill's most skillful and enthusiastic followers and the author of an excellent booklet on the "Churchill Bidding Style." "We find that the elaborate conventions of others place us at no disadvantage whatsoever," Boardman continues. The key to Churchill ding is the one over one suit response, which is somewhat stronger than usual (one-and-one-half quick tricks or equivalent values). The message conveyed by the one-over-one response is to the effect that at least one safe spot, at which the hand can be played, is already present; opener's suit, responder's suit, or notrump. Also, that a reasonable amount of first or second round control is included in the responder's values. Today's hand, played by Boardman and Ralph Le-Neave in a rubber bridge match, shows the Churchill "utility" notrump in action.

With both sides vulnerable, LeNeave opened the North hand with one heart and East passed; with East's high-card holding, this must be one of the strongest trap passes on record. Paul responsed one notrump and North bid two clubs to allow South leeway to disclose the nature of his "utility" response. Again East trap passed and South leaped to five clubs. "The gentleman in the East could hardly believe that his patient silence could turn out to be this rewarding!" said Boardman in telling us about the hand. "He doubled, be lieving now tnat he had a pair of pigeons and that the profits on this one hand would probably pay off the family mortgage.

I promptly redou bled, which I admit was somewhat sporting, but, then, Ralph can really play a tough hand." Ralph didn't have to work on this one. He ruffed the spade king in dummy, gave East a club and the. ace of diamonds and claimed the rest with dummy's hih cards Note that West can make five spades, losing a diamond ONE HOUR TO REALLY KNOW JOE SHELL THE MAN THAT'S MAKING POLITICAL HISTORY IN CALIFORNIA.

New York Herald Tribune, Inc. and a club trick. He avoids a heart loser by taking two heart finesses and discarding his fourth heart on a high club. "This hand appeared at first to be a horrible misfit, but had partner opened one diamond, a positive response by me of two clubs would be fully justified and, furthermore, a subsequent slam try would even be in order. The hand demonstrates why point count is actually a misfit in the Churchill style, even in notrump situations, and why 'Church' rates the factors of fit and hand pattern as more important than high cards as such in any given bidding situation," says Boardman.
