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, North hearts. 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 the seVen.

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 ** * CABINETS STUDYING ATLANTIC PACT DRAFT Eight North Atlantic Governments recently began studying the draft of a military alliance committing them to immediate armed action in case of aggression. against any one of them. Reports of the draft, accepted as ac- curate, state that the alliance will be for 20 years. The draft was approved on March 7th by the ambassadors of the six European governments and Canada in conference at Washington with Dean Acheson, United States. state secretaary. Final views of the eight govern- ments, the United States, Canada, Britain, France, Belgium, Holland, Luxemburg and Norway, are expected to come before the pact negotiators at an early daate, and signature of the pact is expected by the end of the month, The eight powers were report- ed agreed that, Italy, Denmark, Portugal and Iceland should be brought into the alliance without de- lay. Most important of 11 clauses in the draft is the fifth, which commits mem- bers to the principle that an attack on one is an attack on all and should be met by immediate action, includ- ing the use of armed forces, to restore or maintain security, The second art- icle pledges the signatories to work together in economic as well as poli- tical and military fields. Full text of the pact is expected to be published soon.

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- damaged secondary arteries and veins are adequate to carry an increased flow of blood, Medical authorities said the patient was under anaesthesia for MILDMAY MINERAL OIL, quart, reg. 89c 73c •• • '17c • • • 111 n • U n n n • I • • a n • a n m • • a a a n a n a • a a a n • a a a • a • his echo, and West won with the diamonds and followed it with a low i king.
