NORTH A 1042 A 10 8 7 0734 WEST EAST AQS3 0 6 10 8 QJ9652 4843 SOUTH 4 AKJ7S A954 107 The bidding: Sonth West North East 1 A Pass 2 Pass 2 6 Pass 4 Pass Pass Opening lead: Queen of 4 South had to give a nimble performance to maintain control of the proceedings in today's four-spade contract. The slightest slip would have resulted in a setback. West opened the queen of clubs and the king was played from dummy. It appeared that a successful finesse in either major suit would enable declarer to score up 10 tricks in routine fashion. South was reluctant to take a first round finesse in spades for fear that, if it lost, a diamond shift would dislodge his ace and thereby place the fate of the contract entirely on the favorable location of the king of hearts.

A spade was led to the king at trick two and the queen of hearts was put through. East was in with the king and he shifted to the jack of diamonds. South ducked the first round but played the ace on the continuation as West followed with the queen. With the diamond situation now exposed, declarer decided to forego the spade finesse altogether. He cashed the ace of trumps and when the queen did not appear, he began running the hearts in order to take some immediate discards.

On the third round of hearts, South parted with a diamond and West ruffed in with the queen of spades. Fortunately for declarer, West was out of diamonds and when he put North back in with the ace of clubs, declarer was able to discard his remaining diamond on a high heart. South's losses on the deal consisted of one trick each in spades, hearts, and diamonds. He would have been defeated had he taken a finesse in spades. Defeat would have resulted also, if he did not duck one round of diamonds after East shifted to that suit.

McDowell 272-8636 for CutlMn Senate subcotiimittee to check hurricane relief discrimination charges Associated Press WASHINGTON A Senate subcommittee, in three days of hearings opening tomorrow in Biloxi, will examine charges of racial discrimination in administration of aid after last summer's disastrous Gulf Coast hurricane.

Headed by Sen. Birch Bayh, the Senate public works subcommittee is checking broadly into federal disaster-relief programs and the possible need for addition- legislation. But there have been charges that the various federal programs set up to help the area ravaged by last August's Hurricane Camille discriminated against the blacks and the poor, and Bayh has said his group will look into these charges. The subcommittee is to hear from state officials tomorrow, from local officials Thursday, and on Friday will take testimony from individu- al Hearings will be in the Broadwater Beadi Hotel. Hurricane powerful storm of its type ever to hit this country- roared into the Mississippi- Louisiana gulf coast last Aug.

17, killing hundreds and wip- i.ig out thousands of homes and businesses. Two days later it caused torrential rains and devastating floods in Virginia and West Virginia. Bayh plans hearings in Norfolk, probably on Feb. 2. to hear from that area.

Massive federal and private relief began and Congress passed a disaster relief act to provide additional aid. Bayh said he hopes the hearings will result in broad, general legislation which will help speed action to assist victims of future tragedies. He said he wants victims of Camille to say which relief programs worked and which did not, which were speedy and which were too slow, and whether programs were efficient and equitable. He urged that the residents "tell it like it is" and offer advice, criticisms, suggestions and guidance. Charges of discrimination came principally from the Friends Service Committee and the Southern Regional Council, two human relations groups.

In a report on operation of the aid programs, they were critical of the Red Cross as well as various federal agencies which were in the field. "Federal officials have taken little or no action to combat racial discrimination in Mississippi in this disaster, and in some significant instances have contributed to the problem," their report said. Sen. Edmund S. Muskie, D-Maine, a member of the subcommittee, aired charges in asking that tha group go into the discrimination charges as well as into basic questions of adequacy of the federal disaster programs.
