CONTRACT BRIDGE
Recent 'articles in this column have
discussed the high-low (positive) and.
the low-high (negative) echos. An-
other signal between the defenders is
the trump echo,
When a defender plays low on the
first lead of trumps and higher on the
second trump trick, it is a standard
signal that he started with just two
trumps, Conversely, when he follows
first with a high trump card and later
with a lower one, he thereby informs
his partner that he originally had three
-or more trumps,
This can be important information
in connection with ruffing. Consider
the following hand by way of illustra-
tion,

The nine of diamonds was the open-
ing lead and West's queen was taken
by the ace. Crossing to the dummy in
clubs, the nihe of hearts was led;
'West covered with the queen and the
`ace 'won. On this trick East played

a half hour or' less, Court .correepone
dents were told the operation was not
regarded as serious and the decision
to perform it did. not indicate any
sudden development in the King's
condition. The technical name for the
King'e ailment is throinho-angitis obli-
terans. This produces a progressive
tightening of the arteries due to in.
flammetion
In severe cases the legs lose their
feeling and the patient is unable to
walk. In lighter cases, fatly small dis-
latmes call be walked in comfort. Six
doctors signed the bulletin announcing
the King would be operated on and
they said his general health was ex-
cellent for his age, which is 53, Palace
sources emphasized that tthere was no
cause for alarm, They said that ever
since the King's illness was diagnosed,
his doctors have borne in mind the
possibility of an operation,
A period of complete rest was essen-
tial before the operation in order to
prepare the colateral arteries to take
up the strain of the extraa flow of
blood to the foot. Palace sources said
there was no reason to anticipate that
the King would suffer any physical re-
percussions, apart from discomfort
caused by the small incision, All Can-
adians are hoping and praying that
the operation was entirely successful

The operation, not a cumetun one,
is known as lumbar sympatheetomy
It has been performed in dealing with
stoppages of the arteries for idiom
255 years. The operation consists of
making a small incision in the right
lumber region — the loins—to cut the
nerve controlling the blood supply to
the foot. This results in a dilation of
the blood channels and it freer flow
of blood,
The degree of the success of the
operation depends on whether the un-

are adequate to carry an increased
flow of blood, Medical authorities said
