Win at Bridge by Oswald and James Jacoby

In Alice in Wonderland, Humpty Dumpty warns words should serve the master. The bridge column profiles North who treats point count as master, supporting a three heart response and a four heart bid with nine plus one points. West opens clubs and East wins a club ace.

Bridge hand puzzle from North South vulnerable

A fragmented bridge diagram shows North South vulnerable with a hand pattern and a sequence of passes and bids. The readable portion lists players North East South West and a 3h bid followed by passes, indicating an early stage of the auction.

Bridge analysis on three heart contract and score dispute

The discussion centers on a bridge deal where West shows no interest in a diamond sequence by playing the deuce of diamonds. East leads a third club and West’s queen of hearts becomes the setting trick. South argues North should have downgraded his king of clubs from three points to no points and passed three hearts. North defends his 10 points and blames South for the minus score, suggesting a possible double by North over three clubs. The narrator concedes some of North’s analysis but notes East would have gone down three tricks at three clubs and North likely would not have found a double. South was justified in opting for three hearts, though some optimists might have jumped to four.

Beck Favors Programs To Attract Industry to Iowa

Centerville Republican Robert K. Beck campaigns in Cedar Rapids outlining a broad development plan to draw industry to Iowa. He advocates highway improvements, upgraded education, favorable taxes, and repeal of a new service tax on construction and goods, aiming to reverse outmigration to California and revive Iowa as a growth state. The plan includes a five year road program and expanded vocational training to lure jobs. Beck positions himself as a moderate GOP candidate amid rival Republicans Henry, Knudson, and Ray-like figures.
