8 THE SUN, BALTIMORE, MONDAY MORNING, JUNE 3, 1957 Trumps And Tricks Use Ace As Decoy By ALFRED SHEINWOLD WHEN this hand was played by my friend Milton Adler somewhat more than twenty years ago even the opponents had to compliment him on his shrewd deceptive play. South dealer. North-South vulnerable. North A 96 AK5 4 852 West East A KJ5 0.1 10 K974 Q10 52 KJ7 4094 South A AQ108432 74 None A 1063 South West North East Pass 20. Pass 2 Pass Pass 4 Double Pass Pass Pass Opening Lead- West opened the queen of hearts, and Milt won in the dummy with the king.

He led the nine of spades from dummy and let it ride, forcing out the jack. West returned the jack of hearts to dummy's ace. At this stage, Milt was in the dummy for the last time. He thought of cashing the ace of diamonds, but decided against it. He could only discard his fourth club on the ace of diamonds, and his fourth club might turn out to be good.

Instead of making this doubtful discard, Milt led dummy's second trump and finessed to West's king. West returned a third heart, and declarer ruffed. Dummy's Diamonds Saved Now Milt ran three more rounds of trumps, carefully saving all of dummy's diamonds. They weren't much use to him, of course, but the opponents couldn't know this. They assumed that declarer had a way get to both, dummy's ace of diamonds, and they both decided to keep diamonds at any cost.

By the time that Milt got down to one trump and four clubs, the opponents were in sad shape. They were each trying to keep four diamonds, and each of them had to throw a club. That spelled their doom. Milt cashed the ace of clubs and gave up one club, after which he could take the last three tricks with the last trump and two good clubs. There would have been a different story to tell if declarer had taken an early discard on the ace of diamonds.

The defenders would save their clubs, and declarer would lose two clubs and two trumps. Daily Question Partner deals and bids one spade, and the next player passes. You hold: 96 875 AJ863 4852. What do you say? Answer -Bid one no-trump. This weak hand is just barely worth a response.

You cannot afford to bid the diamonds at the level of two, since this would show real strength. Well Planned Basement The well-planned basement can be the most popular room in the house. It should be wide open without poles to allow for games, the floor built of durable material and the furniture of a type that is easily moved about. Proper lighting is another consideration to be given careful thought before hubby goes to work or gives the assignment to a contractor. The tower side of the Hagley Museum, on the banks of Brandywine Creek, near Wilmington, Del.

Industrial Museum In Delaware By ROBERT G. BREEN WILMINGTON, June 2. A PICTURESQUE tract of 165 acres along the banks of the Brandywine was formally opened this last week as a museum devoted to America's industrial history, and particularly that early history, which museum was is made known at this as the site. Hagley Museum, site of the "Eleutherian Mills," the powder first established there by du' Pont de Nemours in 1802, which was destined to make Delaware the nation's powder-making center. The name Hagley was given to the museum property about 1790 by Rumford Dawes, who operated three mills on this site.

Museum In Mill du Pont purchased the Hagley property in 1813 in order to expand his, original Eleutherian Mills. It was this mill, built in 1814 and in use until 1921, that is today's museum. Although du Pont arrived at the banks of the Brandywine in 1802, the site's water power had attracted millers for more than a century. It was only natural that the Brandywine should be put to the industrial uses of the young nation. Rising in the Welsh Mountains of Penn- sylvania, the Brandywine's upper reaches flowed through the foothills and farmlands of Chester county to a meeting place near Lenape, the two branches became a powerful where.

river. From this confluence to its mouth in Wilmington, the Brandywine is about 12 miles long and never more than 50 yards wide, but its volume of flow ranks it among the of the Middle Atlantic miles important, streams, alone the stream bed drops 124 feet, pouring 600,000 tons of water a day into the Christina River. It was this water power which enabled the young Mr. du Pont to manufacture and sell 39,000 pounds of powder in 1804 and three times that amount the following year. The Operation Grew The operation grew and grew.

Even today the visitor, after touring the museum, can walk along the mill race in Hagley Yard where 21 du Pont powder mills are still standing. Among them are graining, rolling and glazing mills which were in operation for more than a century. Near by are the sites of many millstextile, paper, snuff, flour and others, which established the Brandywine as Crossword Puzzle By MARGARET FARRAR 2 5 6 20 21 23 124 25 27 28 32 33 34 39 40 42 43 49 50 51 52 55 56 58 59 Ladies Aux- less severe. iliary of 8 -Racket The Round used in a Table. team game.

I must admit, however, that "The Magnificent Seven," now at the Cinema, offers the discriminating patron an extraordinarily powerful experience. It is, with the exception of "Rashomon," the best Japanese movie.

I've ever seen. This may be because the most Western Japanese movie I've ever seen. In fact, that's exactly what it, is--a Jap- anese Western. Raises To High Level one of the birthplaces of United States industry. In the museum the exhibits, most of them in three dimensions, and many of them mechanically worked models, carry the story of the Brandywine from the days of Indian culture through the du Pont family's first, powdermaking operations.

Oh, phrases, would I'd left unsaid, "Don't cry I'll fix this toy that's broken" "I don't mind if your dog DOES shed," "Drop in and see me, any day," "Do show those movies of your trip," "It's not so late- why don't you stay?"

The plot--involving the defense of an unprotected Fifteenth Century village from the ravaging attacks of bandit hordes--differs only in locale from the thing we're accustomed to seeing happen between the settlers and the Indians. But its epic construction and consistent emphasis upon the universal aspects of human suffering raise it to a level of artistic excellence rarely attained by its American counterparts. Its characterizations by a large cast of gifted Japanese actors are conceived on a heroic scale.

Its contrasting elements of tenderness and violence call into play, the entire range of human emotions. Its dramatic use of the camera to frame these elements in the sensuous the wedding rehearsal at the Church of the Redeemer.

H. GARDNER 44 57 60 63 textures of nature--leaves, flowers, grain rippling in the wind--is, as always in Japanese films, superb.

For these reasons I would be tempted to place "The Magnificent Seven," which was directed by Akira Kurosawa, the same man responsible for "Rashomon," among the best movies of any nationality I've ever seen. The screenplay by Mr. Kurosawa, Shinobu Hashimoto and Hideo Oguni presents a graphic picture of the methods of Fifteenth Century warfare in Japan and the primitive life of its rural inhabitants. The village in question is composed of farmers and their families. Every year at harvest the bandits, wearing great horned helmets and brandishing swords and guns, sweep out of the hills, raid the graineries and ride away, carrying with them the farmer's women and their food.

Appeal To Samurai Finally, in desperation, the villagers appeal to a retired Samurai (a professional warrior) to help them fight the bandits. These Samurai, which compare roughly to the knights of medieval Europe, were apparently remarkable fellows. So skillfully were they in the art of combat that, in battle, one supposed to be able to handle at least ten men. But genuine Samurai, it seems, were hard to find, and approximately half of the movie is devoted to the efforts on the part of the first Samurai to recruit six others to help him do the job. It's not easy, because all the villagers can offer the Samurai in return for their services is board and keep.

Eventually, however, the seven are assembled. The rest of the story depicts the Samurai's organization the village along combat lines, the long awaited attack by the bandits and the systematic annihilation of same by the Samurai. The closing incidents are portrayed in some of the finest battle scenes ever filmed. But the value of "The Magnificent Seven" depends not upon its spectacular effects but upon the basic human truths that are forged from the suffering of its characters and buried like spear-points into the spectator's heart. Submarine Warfare "Hellcats of the Navy," at the Hippodrome, is another film dealing with war- fare, this time submarine.

Based on a book by Vice Admiral Charles Lockwood USN (Ret.) and Col. Hans Christian Adamson, USAF (Ret.) and preceded by an introduction delivered by Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, "Hellcats" purports be the true story of how American submarines harassed Japanese shipping in the Sea of Japan during the final stages of World War II. It also has what I assume to be a fictional subplot describing the problems of a commander who tries to eliminate emotions as a motivating factor in his decisions. Unfortunately neither the "true" story nor the subplot amounts to much dramatically.

Ronald Reagon plays the part of the submarine commander opposite his real-life wife, Nancy Davis. 9093 SIZES 2--10 Printed Pattern 9093: Children's sizes 2, 4, 6, 8, 10.
