His bidding was highly imaginative and his play pot 14 revealed a Cann Inesa that completely foiled his adversaries. North opened with one club and South chose one Diamond As his response. This was not in the nature of psychic bid but rather a matter of convenience obviously the hand is too goo for a single raise in clubs but it does not contain sufficient High cards Tor a double raise. The Tempo izing Call is therefore Thebes Choice. After North rebid one Spade again a bidding prob Lem was presented. South finally chose two no Trump As the Leas of evils and North carried on to game. Holding a reasonably Goodheart stopper himself South Felt that North might not be Able to proceed in no Trump if he raised clubs vigorously. West opened the nine of Spades and Declarer made a Crafty play when he ducked. Going up with an Honor might expose him to � the loss of four Spades and the Ace of hearts East won with the ten of Spades and returned the eight of hearts. If Declarer plays Low the hand is lost for when East gets in with the Ace of Spades another heart return will net three tricks in the , Reading the situation correctly South went up with the Queen and the contract was assured. If West returns a heart it runs to Declarer s ten. If he re turns anything else South is assured of at least nine tricks six clubs a Spade a heart and a Dia mond. South had the satisfaction of making in succession two win Ning plays at tricks one and pointed out subsequently that he might have had a somewhat More difficult decision to make if East at trick two had returned the four of hearts.

The Book is divided int seven sections of varying length according to the attention or. Tully wishes to pay to his various heroes. Most readers looking for famous names and lots of action will turn to the second Section hoodlums Here we meet names out of the past and can Only wonder that any Holly Wood director could have kept a meal Down while going through the motions of turning such human slime into sometimes sympathetic and legendary characters. A bum named Capone is the author s title for some pages on surely one of the most degenerate things the gutters of a big City Sherman Ever turned Loose. It was the unenviable task of Taxman to finally do what politicians police and populace seemed unable or unwilling to accomplish through exhaustive investigation of the financial affairs of Capone s Empire they salted him away for what proved to be the rest of his life. And then there was Louis Lepke Buchalter Lepke was probably the greatest criminal in the nation s history a tycoon who bossed a veritable general motors of crime. For years he was undisputed ruler of the fur garment and baking industries in the new York area a role which enabled him to extort from these businesses at least $50,000,000.

Since Mostof them engaged in smuggling and narcotics at one time or another it is a natural transition to a treatment of the ways and Means by which opium and heroin Are brought into the country and role of Treasury agents in the Lindbergh kidnapping is brought to Light and the author also explores corruption in politics and Lamorand various cases of expert con men. The final sections Are on counterfeiting and the duties of the secret service detail at the White House. An important Survey of an often Unsung and vital Law enforcement body. Harold r. Dan Danforth was a special investigator in the Bureau of investigation of the new York District attorney s office for 16 years. He was hired by Thomas e. Dewey in 1935 an lived through adventures during arid after Dewey s crackdown on new York crime that will Force the Reader to shake his head i amazement and admiration. Now retired to private practice he collaborated with reporter James d. Horan in an autobiographical account full of interest and excitement. As was mentioned earlier parts of the a s Man Deal with cases mentioned in Danforth has the advantage however of having smelled the smoke and fire at close Range and this immediacy is All to the reveals itself particularly in the Small details about the ways of criminal investigation and the defeats and frustrations that lawmen Are heir to. Using his notebooks and excellent memory Danforth has reconstructed such episodes As his infiltration of Lucky Luciano s vice Empire his impersonation of a Boston Longshoreman in order to investigate the waterfront the search for Lepke s trigger Man and the tragic Case of corruption in College basketball. Phe Reader is sure to be overwhelmed at the amount of al work done by the a s office of new York county. He should also lean a greater respect for the civil servants who often throwaway far better opportunities elsewhere in order to fight what must often seem to be an entirely two tips Forward three Steps backward Uphill fight against coldly organized and callously casual crime. Optimists will Marvel at their dedication and efficiency pessimists will find food for depression in the ease which Man allows himself to be corrupted. Law at a different level and in a different atmosphere Isle Arnelly and readable explored by John p. Frank in Marble Palace the supreme court in american the author carries Ai erudition lightly and so opens for the general Reader a window into the Workings of the nine old in Short and Clear chapters retraces the history of the court its functions its methods its personalities and some of its most famous cases. One of the important services of the Book is to make Clear that the sup Renje court is on of the three separate and equal branches of the american govern ment and that our founding fathers intended it to have great Powers for the Protection of every citizen and the Constitution. At this time of great judicial activity some of us May need to be reminded that the supreme court is doing nothing More or Les than exercising its rights and responsibilities.
