It s a great  on a visit to Moabite a Workingman s neighbourhood where american soldiers Are Seldom seen Mitch wore his uniform one Day. I found out personally for the first time How berliners really feel about us he said. People stopped me on the Street and spoke to me. Some of them could t speak English but they would shake hands and say something in German. I did t have to know the language to Tell what they said. You could Tell by their  Mitch made one trip to East Berlin when he first arrived. It was part of the 3d Battle up s indoctrination course.

The bidding might Best be de scribed As a fantasy. For some unknown reason South decided to suppress his Diamond suit in responding to North a one club opening and when he received a Spade raise he leaped to slam. It was his Hope that even if his partner did not have a heart control the opponents might not Lead the suit and then the con ceased diamonds would provide sufficient discords. The opening Lead was the five of diamonds. Declarer won. With the Luck Drew the Trumps in three rounds i and ran the Dia monds discarding All of. Dummy s hearts the Lack of clubs was cashed Ana a heart ruffed in Dummy which was now established. In the postmortem analysis twas contended that the Diamond opening against the slam was not Well chosen. The bidding suggested that the Dummy might come Down with Good Trumps and a Strong club holding. The  the Ace of hearts was recommended because if Declarer held the King of hearts the chances of beating the contract were slight. It will be observed that on a More Normal sequence of bids North might have become Declarer at a game contract in Spades which can be Defeated. A heart is opened and after three tricks Are cashed in that suit East leads a fourth round and West s eight of Spades will pro Mote a Trump trick for his partner.
