Contract Bridge Lmtiie The end play la the source of many contract-making tricks at the bridge table. As used by bridge experts, this simply means that In giving up the lead, the declarer seeks to choose the defender who la going to win the trick, In the hope that that player will be forced to give him a much-needed trick in exchange for the courtesy.

16 Making the play is not a hit or miss affair. It requires elimination of. other suits from the hand of the defending player, so that his choice will be limited to one suit. Today's hand Is an example of the play. South, when he saw the dummy, realized that his only chance of making his contract was in getting a break in hearts and finding the Long, Island Salesman Explains Victim Insulted Wife, Mother-in-Law New York, Dec.

"He Insulted my wife and mother-ln-law. 1 struck him. I am sorry he died." George H. Hoyt, who sells foreign automobiles to Long Island's wealthy North Shore coterie, gave that explanation today of his part in the death of Samuel Armstrong Walsh, Retired broker. The blow that fractured Walsh's jaw was delivered at a cocktail party in his home on Nov.

30. Tuesday he died. An examination and investigation by the medical examiner gave Suffolk county authorities their first intimation that Violence played a part In the death. Direct cause was pneumonia following complications caused by the blow. In Voluntary Custody Hoyt, tn voluntary custody of state police, told of the events leading up to the blow.

i He and Mrs. Hoyt had invited the Walshs to dinner. Walsh insisted that they must first come to his house for cocktails. Hoyt's father end his wife's mother, Mrs. Alice Crowther, wife of a British bankers were included in the Invitation.

There, according to Hoyt, Walsh addressed "low words" to Mrs. Hoyt and her mother. Mrs. Walsh, at the piano, stopped playing, shocked and embarrassed. She asked Hoyt to try to quiet her 56-year-old husband.

Hoyt followed Walsh to his room. Had Been Drinking "I had become angry myself at the low words he called the women," Hoyt told police. "He had been drinking heavily and the more I attempted to persuade him to stop cursing, the more he continued to swear louder and become belligerent. I could stand It no longer, i struck him." Walsh fell to the floor. Hoyt left him there, returned downstairs 432 IsYlOBSS 5 VQ104I KJ4 w.

"But maybe I can't, darling! Our own lives may be endangered if I try. The maidens may actually want to be sacrificed. I certainly do not.

This is a delicate matter, and I'm trying to figure a way out of here gracefully and safely." "It's murder, Bob, and you know It." OOM-OOM. OOM. OOM-OOM. No more wood was brought, but all were assembling by now. And from a number of houses came men in fantastic costumes of skins and paint, with ail manner of ceremonial objects dangling from them.

Without any sort of preliminary, these men, evidently high priests of some form signaled to the drummers and the rhythm again changed. Now it became a one, one-two-three beat; OOM-oom-oom-oom, OOM-oom-oom-oom, with double emphasis on the first, done rather slowly at the outset but gradually getting a little faster. It seemed to be perfect time for the extraordinary dances begun by the costumed ones. The priests stamped and hopped and chanted and rattled the sticks they held, and soon the villagers all were chanting too, to make a rumbling background of sound. This continued for at least half an hour, but stopped so abruptly that 'Lissa almost jumped.

The chieftain of the brown people walked to 'Lissa. and Bob. He made motions. "This is the moment!" Bob whispered. "We've got to make our choice! Now! Which maiden is to die.

God, this is awful, "No, no! You can't! Do something! Anything!" Robert Barry swallowed, then took a deep breath. He was still without much hope, and he didn't dare offend these people lest he and 'Lissa themselves be sacrificed. But he determined to try the biggest bluff in nis career. He turned ostentatiously to the sun, and mumbled a long jargon. He winked at 'Lissa, and raised his hands to the sun.

She did likewise. They sank to their knees "Act it Bob mumbled, 'Lissa was trembling. Ignoring the four maidens, who had been brought out tied hand and foot, Bob kept pointing to the sun and talking steadily to the chief, gesticulating as impressively as he knew how, but actually without meaning. He kept up this mumbo-jumbo for two or three minutes. Then he looked imperiously at the chief and began a serious sign talk, as they had conversed at length the aay Deiore.

Twice Bob had to resort to his pencil which the brown folk seemed to regard as magic anywaybut in time he got his thoughts across. Suddenly then the chief issued a command to his people. Six or eight hurried away, while the assembly waited. To fill In the gap, Bob orated meaninglessly to the sun. When the messengers returned with live rabbits, live snakes, and other small animals, 'Lissa's curiosity popped.

Prompt and Efficient Service Guaranteed by N.X MESSENGER SERVICE MEYER ADLEMAN 250 North Juniper Philadelphia DEFENDS ITS TESTS Replies to Charges by Republican Senators, Savs Magee 'Is Satisfied' 'BEST. WERE PASSED' Trenton, Dec. Examinations ftven candidates for state motor vehicle safety Inspector by the Civil Service Commission, criticized Mon-day by Republican senators, were de fended today by the commission. The senators have appointed a committee to investigate and decide whether to urge new examinations.

The commission said it was surprising there were not more complaints in view of the pressure put on all politicians for Jobs with the Motor Vehicle Department testing division. Records snow 4458 applied to take the examination. Of these 3573 passed the medical and physical examination and 1118 received passing marks. Of this number 300 were qualified ince they received the highest grades. The commission's explanation of the complaints is that there were so many who failed to qualify by only one or two points that It was natural there should be objection to the aminlng methods, since many believe a re-examination would give them a chance tn pass.

Motor Vehicle Commissioner Magee was said to be pleased with the results. "We believe we have passed the best men who took the test," staled a commission spokesman. "If Mr. Magee is satisfied, we are. After all, the responsibility of operating the testing law is his and he has probably had some report on the qualifications of the men by this time." Governor Hoffman and commission members have been flooded with letters from politicians asking them to "fix it up" for many of those who failed to pass the examinations.

Commissioner Magee yesterday named 27 supervisors for the inspections scheduled to be held after January 1. South Jersey will have four of the supervisor all of whom were certified by Civil Service. Those named from South Jersey are Richard H. Koos, Gloucester City; Charles T. Goess, Audubon; James C.

Mcllvaine, Mt. Holly; and James P. Madison, Pleasantville. Among the 23 appointed from North and Central Jersey Is Vernon G. Farrow, of Toms River.

Others on the list are Raymond E. Dunham, Little Falls; George Sprock and James R. Combes, Jersey City: Eugene G. Ward. William B.

Weickton, Leo A. Vanmater, New ark; Henry J. Harra, Richard E. Moore, Paterson; Frederick H. Wall- man, urantwood: Urandon J.

Lyons, Ttenneth G. Post. Ramsey; Arthur Van Hooter, Lodi; Walter Harper, Hackensack Herman F. Braunlich, Allen R. Keyworth, Irvington.

Walter R. Jones, Hainesville: Herbert Trube, Union; George Richardson, Clinton; William A. Closson, Highland Park; Gregg Blackwood, Paterson. James J. Shanley, who has temporary charge of the Trenton station, also will be chief of the inspection.

Each supervisor will be in charge of a station, but Magee said no assignments had yet been made. Motorists will be charged a fee of 50 cents for the inspection. Supervisors will receive $1800 yearly. A majority of the appointees are World War Veterans, many of them having disability ratings. Between 250 and 300 inspectors will be named within the next two weeks, the department announced.

BORDENTOWN CHANGES FIRE BUREAU LINEUP Bordentown, Dec. 9 Members of the Bordentown city commission have passed on first reading an ordinance which changes the set-up of the local fire department.

A.

Carty Construction Phiilipsburg, N. was desig- nated by the state highways department today as the unofficial low offer for a contract to widen 4.19 miles of U. S. 309 between Coopersburg and Quakertown. The contract probably will be awarded within a week.

It will involve construction of a concrete bridge and cement concrete slab 12 to 22 feet wide. Shs hadn't spoken for nearly hall hour. "What is It, Bob?" shs whispered, "What's happening?" "I'm playing a Keep acting." Bob signed a bit mors to the chief, Then, surprisingly, ha took one ot the wild rabbits, killed It, skinned It with his pocket knife, all with elaborate ceremony. Each piece ot carcass he placed on the great pile of wood, but he presented the dressed meat portion to the chief, instructing to cook it. Then, Bob ostentatiously cut the thopgs that bound the maidens, and set them He signed to chieftain and folded his arms, standing beside 'Lissa with imperious mien.

i The chief, duly awed by it ail, shouted excitedly then to his people, and the ore was Quickly there was a frenzy of yelling and Jubilant dancing. The sacrificial maidens ran away to join their families. Dancing continued as the tire crackled higher and higher. The, priests chanted, the drummers pounded in their Hysterical gladness and gratitude seemed rampant there, In weirdest possible sound and motion. It was intense: "What 1s It, Bob? Tell me I Whit did you do?" 'Lissa clung to her lover's arm.

"I don't know where we -go from here, sweetheart, but I think we bluffed that one through. 1 told them we were messengers from the real sun god, and that he commanded an end of sacrifice. I said this tribe is small now, and no more people must be from it. The maidens -must bear children instead. In substitute, I explained, a live beast of the fields should be killed, and its skin thrown on the fire, and the good meat eaten as a symbol of feasting and plenty.

The sun god, I said, wants eternal happiness to reign here, not pain and blood and death." She shivered a little, and snuggled fascinated by the amazing pageantry before Bob!" she murmured; "That's the way I feel too, 'Lissa darling."

CHAPTER Just at dawn a weird chanting and hallowing awakened 'Lissa. "Bob! Get up, dear, Bob! It's starting already." The day's festivities were Indeed under way. The white, couple had removed only their shoes at bedtime, and so were peering out in a moment or two. Already a great pile of wood had been assembled near the chieftain's house and other wood bearers were seen coming from far and near. Apparently every villager, old and young, was contributing to the fuel supply and was making it an occasion for song.

The songs had little but rhythm to recommend them. They were wordless, ofttimes discordant sounds in minor key. Yet they were in a definite pattern, the white couple discerned, and everybody seemed to know them. The sun had not actually appeared as yet but the dawn was bright gray. It would be 9 o'clock or so.

Bob observed, before the actual fireball' it self could appear over their horizon. This was because of the sheer cliffs that hemmed in this kingdom to protect and isolate it from the outside world. Studying the light, Bob decided it must be nearly 8 o'clock even now; they had slept very late, but they were refreshed, "We're getting off to a good start. anyway, he said to Lissa. "I hope I can remember some of these chants." i Obviously the villagers knew ex actly what they were doing, for there was no confusion, and the pile of wood grew rapidly.

Necessarily it was a mixture of scanty desert growths dried cactus stalks, palo verde, miscellaneous brush and some of the extremely heavy mesquite and ironwood. Bob could not see much of it growing; he realized that the villagers were making a definite sacrifice in the wood itself, when they burned it in 'a worship ceremony. In due time a red cliff top to the westward was suddenly illuminated, as if a gigantic stage spotlight had been turned jon. In that moment a new sound dominated the valley, and the course of action everywhere was changed. First a chorus of drums the same tom-toms.

Bob noted, that Hopi Indians used reverberated throughout the canyon. It was a penetrating bass noise, alarming, heraldic, of great volume. OOM-OOM. OOM-OOM. OOM-OOM.

First a series of quick double notes. Bob and 'Lissa observed that six brown drummers were pounding tomtoms four feet high or so. massive notsemakers on the roof of the chieftain's house itself. The sound was frightening. Perhaps it was meant to be.

The rhythm changed soon. OOM-OOM (pause), OOM (pause). OOM-OOM. This was continued for perhaps a quarter hour two beats, one, then two again, and repeat. The white couple had heard many a fanfare of drums in the paleface world, many a trumpeter's wlid blare, but never had anything impressed them like this.
