Daily News-Miner, Monday, January 8, 1 968 Sheinwold on Bridge The Lord Hates A Noisy Partner The farthest the human voice has been known to carry, according to the books, is about 10 miles, at night, across still water. This record was broken last month in New Orleans at the National Bridge Tournament after I had finished playing a hand at four spades. South dealer Neither side vulnerable NORTH 4 AI7 KQJ 0 QJ53 4 1032 WEST EAST 1053 4 KQ 2 0 109876543 OK 10 986 02 K9 SOUTH 4 98642 A 0 A74 'South West North East Pass I tf Pass 1 4 Pass 2 4 Pass -4 4 All Pass Opening lead 2 Someday, if the noise ever dies down, I may find out why Lew Mathe bid one heart with the North hand. It had the effect of keeping East Quiet, so that West's opening lead looked like an innocent third-best or fourth-best card. I led the deuce of spades and tried a deep finesse with dummy's seven, hoping to find K-W-x or Q-lfl-x of spades in the West hand.

Toronto expert Eric Murray won with the queen of spades and returned a crafty nine of clubs. His fellow Canadian, Sammy Kehela, won with the ace of clubs and returned a club to the king. Now a nervous defender in the East seat would return a heart to make sure of defeating the contract, but Murray was after bigger game. He switched to ths singleton diamond. BLISSFUL DECLARER In my ignorance I felt very good about the way things were Ferry Booked Full SEATTLE (4P)-Thc biggest load of automobiles to be carried to Alaska since the 49th State opened its ferry service to Seattle was booked for the Mat- anuska, sailing from here Saturday.

Reservations were made for 50 cars, Greg O'Claray, chief purser, said. Eight vans also were to be aboard. Passenger accommodations were booked solid. going. I stepped up with the ace of diamonds, planning to take another spade finesse, draw trumps and then discard my low diamonds on dummy's good hearts.

I led another low spade and was confirmed in my folly when Kehela craftily played the ten. The roof fell in when I tried afinesse with dummy's jack of spades. Murray won with the king of spades, returned a heart for a ruff, and Kehela then cashed the king of diamonds. Down three. What's a good remedy for a constant ringing in the ears? DAILY QUESTION Partner opens with 1-NT (16 to 18 points), and the next player passes.

You hold: S- 10 5 3 H- 2 D-K 10 9 8 6 C-A 6 5 4. What do you say? ANSWER: Bid two diamonds. Since you have only 7 points, the combined count is only 25 points at most.

3 that its doctors had performed history's first human heart transplant surprised mi.llio-.is around the world. How, it was asked, could such a small country have beaten such medically advanced nations as the United States in carrying out this feat The answer lies largely in years of research by specialists working as a team, the dedication and skill of the individual specialists and the high standard of all sections of the team. All the doctors acknowledge that in other parts of the world there are specialists at least as proficient as the.y are. But they doubt that any other hospital has put together a team with the same excellence as theirs. "One mast say that our surgeons, anaesthetists, physicians, theater nurses, ward nurses and the others who make up the team are all first class," said Dr.

Marthinus C. Botha, the key figures In the Dec. 3 transplant on Louis Washkanr-ky and the Jan. 2 transplant on Philip Blaiberg. "Of course, there may be as good, conceivably even better, in other parts of the world.

But in Cape Town, evej- membur of the team is of world class," he said. Even Dr. Christiaan N. Barnard, the brilliant heart surgeon who leads the team, says he is not the only one who could do the job. The team has spent many years working toge'her on heart research and later on open heart operations, which now are almost an everyday at Groote Schuur Hospital.

Both Barnard and his younger brother Marius, also a surgeon, have studied heart operations and research in the United States and the team members have visited many countries, including the Soviet Union, to keep abreast of developments. Botha, a pathologist who heads the blood grouping laboratory at the nearby University of Cape Town Medical School believes "without fear of contradiction that our blood transfusion services and societies are without parallel in the world."

PROM VU4RNCK AWTS 1 SHOWTIMES SUNDAY Dark: 1:00 5:00 9:00 Bobo: 3:00 7:00 MONDAY-TUESDAY-WEDNESDAY Dork: Bobo: 7:30 only WASHINGTON (AP) Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller's refusal to fight for the Republican presidential nomination will cause the prize to fall into the hands of former Vice President Richard M. Nixon, a House GOP leader feels. "I think it was the reluctance of Gov.

Rockefeller to get out of the 1964 race early that nominated Sen, (Barry) Goldwater," Rep. Melvin R. Laird of Wisconsin said, "jfc is the reluctance of Gov. Rockefeller to get into the race that will nominate Dick Nixon." Laird said Rockefeller is the strongest of the would-be or could-be nominees. But the New York governor may have boxed himself off from the nomination, he said.

Laird, chairman of the House Republican conference was head of the OOP's platform committee in 1964. He went to that national convention pledged to the Wisconsin favorite-son candidacy of Rep. John W. Byrnes. He Supported Goldwater on the day of his nomination after being released by Byrnes.

Laird's views came in a recorded (CBS) radio program later questioning during which it was indicated he always felt Rockefeller was well qualified and he could support him if nominated. He maintained he always would support the party's nominee. Nixon appears at the moment to have "a very good chance" to win all the major presidential preference primaries in New Hampshire, Wisconsin, Nebraska Oregon. Laird said. Rockefeller 'won't get into any of these primaries and unless N'ixon loses one "I don't believe he can be stopped in Miami," he said.

Laird said he felt Rockefeller gave a commitment early to support Gov. George Romney of Michigan and would stand behind this pledge unless released. Romney's first primary test will come March 12 in New Hampshire. Rockefeller made a speech for Romney there only Thursday and thus would seem tied to the Romney cause right up to primary day. Thus Laird noted, Rockefeller appears to be blocked, even if he should want to from entering the April 2 Wisconsin primary since the filing deadline is Feb.

weeks before the opener in New Hampshire. The Nebraska and Oregon primaries are set for May 14 and May 28 respectively. Laird said he now feels Nixon looks stronger than Romney in the Wisconsin primary, a reversal of the way he rated the contest two months ago. And in the Oregon test, he said, his informants say the former vice president will win against Gov. Ronald Reagon of California, apparently his only opposition.

In Franklin, N.H., the state's chief backer of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, said Friday Kennedy told him by letter he does not want any campaign efforts in his behalf in connection with the Democratic primary March 12. But Eugene Daniell said he intends to keep beating the Kennedy drum whether Kennedy wishes him to or not. WASHINGTON (AP) Senior U.S.

military officers believe North Vietnam's first objective, despite its hints last week about possible peace talks, is to stop the U.S. bombing so it can build up its forces and war material in South Vietnam. For this reason, these officers would be resistant to any bombing halt not matched by some sort of meaningful military scale-down by North Vietnam. So far, North Vietnamese statements hinting at possible readiness to open peace talks have offered no reciprocity for a halt in bombing. This lack of any offer of reciprocal action is one factor that makes some U.S.

officials dubious about the sincerity of the North Vietnamese stance. American military authorities recall public statements by North Vietnamese leaders indicating according to their doctrine, fighting should continue even while negotiations are in progress. This happened in the Korean Vinr the last time the United States fought to turn back a Communist aggression. Truce negotiations in.that,war began in July 1951 and the armi- was signed two years later. Meanwhile, the fighting kept on and another 10,000 or so Americans were killed amindthe talking.

If the North Vietnamese should agree to match a cessation of bombing with some reciprocal action, what kind of a move would be acceptable to the United States? Dear Ann Landers: I am sick and tired of your corny cliches. You tell wives to "turn on the heat" and then you add, "If a husband is well fed at home, he will not be inclined to go to restaurants." Of course my husband shoves these columns under my nose and says, "See anyone here you recognize, Kiddo?" Since you are so smart, Ann Landers, please tell me how can a wife be a great sex partner when her child is having an asthma attack in the next room? NO FRIEND OF YOURS Dear No Friend: How often does your child have asthma attacks? If he has them every night, he needs more help than you realize. If you are using your child's asthma attacks as an excuse, then YOU need more help than I can give you, Kiddo. Dear Ann Landers: The letter from the woman who fought her way back from mental illness was a chapter out of my life. The similarities were amazing, only I was in worse shape.

too, had a sister-in-law who called me a faker and told everyone I was pretending to be sick because I wanted to run away from my responsibilities. I married young and my husband's family disliked me from the start I tried hard to please them but it was hopeless. Finally it got so bad that whenever someone pulled up in the driveway I was afraid it was my in-laws and I became nauseated. A knock at the door would cause me tovom- it. When I had to spend an evening with a member of my husband's family I developed a sick headache and sometimes I even fainted.

After six months I developed hysterical blindness and couldn't see for several weeks. I doctored through all this but no one seemed to understand my problem. My salvation was an angel of a woman who moved next door. She let me come to her house and talk to her for hours. When I felt poorly, she came to my house and listened.

Never once did she remark how messy things looked. She also made me realize how fortunate I was to have a husband who stood by me. Not many men would have taken over the care of iiie children and kept quiet about his wife's terrible housekeeping and miserable meals. He was truly Christ-like in his patience and forbearance. Yet I never appreciated him until my neighbor brought it up.

My nightmare life is behind me now and it's hard to believe I was ever so ill It seems as if it all happened to someone else. The credit for my recovery goes to my neighbor. She saved my life with kftdness and understanding. God must have sent her to me. LUCKY ORE- GONTAS Dear Lucky: Take some credit yourself, please.

The neighbor woman held the lantern, my dear, but it was you who chopped the ivood. What is French kissing? Is it wrong? Who should set the necking limits boy or the girl? Can a shotgun wedding succeed? Read Ann Landers' booklet, "Teen-Age Sex Ten Ways To Cool It." Send 50 cents in coin and a long, self-addressed, stamped envelope. People in the News Negroes Deny $100,000 Ford Grant; Warn More Rioting Due DETROIT (AP) A proposed $100 000 Ford Foundation grant has been rejected by a militant Negro leader with a warning that Detroit may face another devastating riot in the summer. The money was turned down by the Rev. Albert CIeage a Black Power advocate who heads the Federation for Self- Determination, a group established to help rebuild Detroit's Negro community.

Cleage told newsmen that the offer of inmatchingfunds had too many strings attached. The offer was made through the New Detroit Committee, a blue ribbon group appointed by Cov, George Romney and Mayor Jerome Cavanagh to coordinate rehabilitation efforts following last summer's costly riot. The riot worst in modern American history resulted in 43 deaths, hundreds'of injuries and thousands of arrests on charges ranging from murder to arson to, looting. Property damage ran hundreds of millions of dollars. Cleage, who preaches separatism, said there will be another riot if white leaders fail wallow the black community to run its own affairs.

"If the white community is intelligent enough to transfer power to the black community so that self-determination can be a reality, then there will be no necessity for a rebellion," he declared. "But if the white community does not do that, there will be another rebellion. That will not 23 by 36 Inch Aluminum Sheets Discounts To Quantity Buyers 25?

In announcing that funds were available, Joseph L. Hudson Jr. chairman of the New Detroit Committee, said that to get the money the two groups would have to agree to communicate with each other, pledge not to use the money for political purposes and submit to auditing procedures on how the money was spent. The New Detroit Committee can keep its strings-attached money," Cleage said. Cleage said that two militant members of the New Detroit Committee were resigning and the federation was severing all relations with the committee.

LOS ANGELES (AP) Former prssidential press secretary Pierre Salinger says he is leaving his airline executive post for a year to lecturi and produce a humorous television series on politics. Salinger, Continental Airlines' executive vice president, said Friday the TV show will be "a kind of irreverent look at Amor- ican politics in an election year."
