From the good
old prewar days
It is interesting to study international matches from a long
time ago. Declarer-play wasn’t bad, but defensive techniques
and bidding systems were far less sophisticated than they are
today.
Here is an example deal, taken from a match between Ireland
(Eire) and Wales in 1937. How do you think the auction would
proceed nowadays? In particular, what would you rebid with
that South hand after opening one spade and hearing partner
respond two diamonds?
In the other room, after one spade and two diamonds, the
Welsh South invented a two-heart rebid. His partner wisely
rebid three diamonds, South continued the torture with four
clubs, North repeated his diamonds, and South raised to game.
When East led a club, declarer immediately claimed all 13
tricks: plus 440.
Here, South rebid three diamonds, which was normally
played as nonforcing in England. (It is fine if forcing. Otherwise,
South should either jump to four diamonds or fudge with three
clubs; I prefer the former,
which is “kiss” bidding:
keep it simple, sensible.)
North made the strangelooking
three-spade continuation,
then passed
when South raised to
game. (I would have
thought he planned to
retreat to five diamonds,
but perhaps he hoped that
both contracts would win
only 10 tricks.)
West led the heart
ace: three, two, seven.
Then West, Simon
Rivlin, did very well,
switching to the diamond
nine. East ruffed, put his
partner back on lead with
a heart, and received a
second diamond ruff to
defeat the contract: plus
50. So, Wales gained 490
points.

Jose weakens after
battering Antigua
THE VALLEY, Anguilla (AP)
— Hurricane Jose battered
Antigua, ripped up trees and utility
poles on ritzy St. Barts and sleepy
Anguilla, then weakened as it
veered north out of the Caribbean
today.
By 8 a.m. EDT, the storm was
just north of St. Thomas in the U.S.
Virgin Islands with winds of 75
mph, down from the 100 mph the
storm hit yesterday. Forecasters
said it could weaken to a tropical
storm by the afternoon.
Earlier today, the storm uprooted
trees, tore down some electrical
and telephone lines and flung
debris on roads in Anguilla and the
British Virgin Islands, emergency
officials said.
‘‘It could have been worse for
us,’’ said Sandra Ward, a government
spokeswoman in the British
Virgin Islands.
The airport and seaports in both
territories were closed and most
houses were boarded up. There
were no reports of flooding, though
Jose drenched the islands with
heavy rains.

U.N. police investigated for
pressuring Serbs to sell homes
PRISTINA, Yugoslavia (AP) — U.N. police
are investigating several fellow officers suspected
of pressuring Serbs to sell their homes to ethnic
Albanians at prices below market value, a U.N.
official said today.
The inquiry was launched after Serbian media
reported that two U.N. officers told Serbs they
should sell their homes to Albanians and instructed
them to contact an ethnic Albanian lawyer to
draw up the contracts.
Many Serbs are keen to leave Kosovo because
of attacks by ethnic Albanians seeking revenge
for the Serb crackdown that left 10,000 people
dead before NATO bombing forced Serb forces
to withdraw in June.
Serb media reports identified one of the officers
under investigation as John Henderson. The
U.N. official, who spoke on condition of
anonymity, confirmed an officer with that name
was under investigation but declined to give his
nationality or other details.

Police question
Netanyahu about
seized valuables
JERUSALEM (AP) —
Former Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu and his
wife, Sarah, were questioned
by police today, a day after
officers seized dozens of valuable
items the couple is suspected
of having kept illegally
after he left office.
Netanyahu waved briefly
before he and his wife entered
the Fraud Squad headquarters
in the Tel Aviv suburb of Bat
Yam.
Netanyahu’s lawyer, David
Shimron, said his client had
done nothing wrong and
accused police of conducting a
politically tainted investigation.
Shimron said the items
were in storage until they could
be sorted.
Mrs. Netanyahu supervised
the packing when the couple
prepared to leave the official
residence after her husband’s
election defeat in May, according
to Israel army radio. The
report said personal items and
gifts the Netanyahus had
received while in office were
packed at the same time.
Defectors marry
in S. Korean
intelligence
facility
ANSUNG, South Korea
(AP) — The wedding guests
were intelligence officials and
the ushers were riot police.
But the two North Korean
defectors took it in stride
Thursday, bowing deeply to
each other in the Korean way
of saying ‘‘I do.’’
Within high walls lined
with barbed wire, the bride and
groom tied the knot at a government
center where North
Koreans who have abandoned
their homes learn how to adapt
to life in the South.
‘‘I feel like I’m dreaming,’’
said bride Kim Young Hee, 28,
who wore a traditional rainbow-colored
gown.
Kim worked as a cart driver
at a coal mine in the communist
North before bidding
farewell to her two sisters and
fleeing her homeland, eventually
arriving in the South in
March.

hat. ‘‘I think my parents would

reports, confirmed he knew Henderson but said
he also did not know his nationality. He said he
had no business relationship with the officer.
Smaili denied that the properties were being
sold below market value.
‘‘Every transaction is done properly to show
they were not selling under coercion,’’ he said.
On Wednesday, NATO officials spoke of the
newest form of anti-Serb intimidation — bogus
lists of Serb war crimes suspects, some signed by
banned Kosovo Liberation Army or local, selfdeclared
Albanian police units. It wasn’t clear if
the signatures were real.
‘‘Our concern is that you could have people
killed by the fact that someone hates someone
else and puts their name on a list,’’ said a NATO
spokesman, Maj. Roland Lavoie.
Such posters are bound to strengthen Serb
determination to defend themselves, adding to
already high ethnic tensions in the province and
blocking international attempts to establish cooperation
between the two hostile groups.
Militia starts more incursions in East Timor
DILI, East Timor (AP) — A day after
Indonesia agreed to accept independence for East
Timor, peacekeepers today reported a surge of
cross-border incursions from Indonesia-controlled
West Timor by anti-independence militiamen.
‘‘In the past 24 hours, there have been a number
of sightings of militia groups coming across
the border,’’ Col. Mark Kelly, spokesman for the
16-nation peacekeeping force, told reporters in
Dili, East Timor’s capital.
But Kelly said it was too early to say whether
this was part of some concerted new campaign by
the paramilitary forces in response to
Wednesday’s vote by the Indonesian assembly,
in which the Jakarta government effectively relin-

JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP)

Some had feared the vote would trigger a
fresh rampage by the militias, which went on a
spree of burning, looting and intimidation last
month after a referendum in which East Timorese
overwhelmingly opted for independence.
About one-third of the territory’s 850,000
people fled or were driven from their homes amid
the violence. More than 250,000 ended up in
neighboring West Timor, and militiamen have
been harassing those who began returning on foot
across the border two days ago.
Kelly said the peacekeepers had stepped up
round-the-clock land and air patrols along the
frontier to counter the latest militia push and to
protect the refugees.

Sick Cuban
boy seeks
U.S. visa
for treatment
HAVANA (AP) — The
mother of a gravely ill Cuban
boy is hoping an American
group’s efforts will persuade
Cuba to grant her son a visa so
he can get emergency medical
treatment in the United States.
The 7-year-old boy, Raudel
Alfonso Garcia, suffers from
portal hypertension, a potentially
fatal disease that produces
high pressure in blood
flowing from several organs to
the liver. Cuban doctors don’t
have the facilities to treat him.
Ned Walsh, a retired
Baptist chaplain at North
Carolina State University, is
lobbying the Cuban and
American governments to clear
the way for the emergency trip.
Walsh learned about
Raudel during an August visit
to Cuba and enlisted other
members of a Baptist congregation
to help convince Cuba
to let the boy go to North
Carolina for surgery.
