William E. McKenney reviews a bridge hand from life master Sunon Rossant of New York City. The discussion focuses on opening bids and why a strong suit like spades should not lead to premature pre empting when South holds a solid hand and spades.
The article describes a bridge problem where West opens three diamonds, East bids three no trump, Rossant doubles, and the play leads to a complex deduction about the correct opening lead. Rossant reasons through suits, eliminating spades, clubs, and diamonds to decide on hearts, with North and South cashing nine tricks after the lead sequence.

Pittsburgh March 9 postwar coal price cuts may lower furnace coal costs. Pittsburgh Consolidation Coal Co announced reductions of 15 to 40 cents a ton, depending on grade, from northern West Virginia fields that supply low cost coal for the firm. Industrial buyers like utilities have benefited so far, though not all customers will see relief.
A Pittsburgh Consul spokesman said price reductions in yearly contracts with Industries are due to competitive conditions and that other prices will be discussed as contracts are reopened. He declined to speculate on impacts of market conditions on coal prices from western Pennsylvania and Ohio. The bituminous market has softened recently due to weaker exports, high production, and lighter domestic demand.
