Others suggest not only bad work- ! manship but a complete absence ; of competent inspection.The quality of workmanship in , VLA homes is a matter of public; concern, for reasons far removed from the natural feeling of sympathy for our returned men and 1 women.That in itself would justify Parliament's interest in the matter, but beyond it is the hard economic fact that VLA homes are being built, in part, with public, funds.Financial assistance given to each veteran buying or build- ; in g under the VLA makes the con- : siructicn of his house as much a matter of national concern as any, other public works project.For this reason neither the! Public Accounts Committee.Parliament nor the people can afford \u2022 to relax their vigilance merely because Government spokesmen have promised tgat all rejAiirs will be i carried o'.it without exnense to the vete-ans cor.\\?rned.Whatever sat- McKENNEY ON BRIDGE By Wm.E.McKenney, America\u2019s Card Authority BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR THIS MISTAKE There are a couple of mistakes in today\u2019e hand which might easily be made by a careless player.First, South\u2019s bid of three clubs! is very bad.He has only a minimum opening bid, and hi?correct response over two diamonds is two hearts.Then he will not find himself in a four heart contract.Secondly, his strong bidding should enable the opponents to defend the hand correctly.Declarer plays the queen of spades from dummy on the opening lead, and East goen up with the ace.A spade is returned, so West cashes the ten and king of spades.Now why should he lead?South\u2019s strong biding ,-hould tell him that hk only possible chance for a trick is to continue with the fourth spade.Then if he finds his partner with the jack of hearts, a heart trick will be established for West.A careful declarer would never cover the jack of spades with the: queen, nor should the queen be â Q5 3 V K Q 5 4 $ Q873 * A 8 A A 3 6 T 109 5 Dealer 10 6 5 3 A K J 1C 4 V 10 9 7 A K 6 4 AQ42 A 8 72 A 8 6 3 2 ¦S K J 9 7 Tournament\u2014Neither vul.South\tWest\tNorth\tEast 1 V\tPass\t2 Ô\tPass 3 A\tPass\t4 ¥\tPass Opening \u2014A J\t10 played when West continues with the ten-spot.It would take very smart defense for East to win the eecond spade with the ace and return the third epade.Thus deck-rex's careless play to the first trick placed the whole hand in jeopardy.Answer (n Previous Puszlr STaO, fKUB\u2019e'A Radio Actress 46\tManuscript (ab.) 47\tLamprey 48\tParadise 21\tMystic syllable 22\tFish eggs 24 Frozen water 27 Bear 29 Storehouse 32\tFox 33\tObtain 34\tInfirm 37 Diminutive of Margaret 39\tSimpleton 40\tVentilate 41\tBoard (ab.) 43 Antecedent 48 Exclamation 50 Be indisposed 52\tExpunger 53\tHarem room 54\tCountry 56 Heavy 58\tErmine 59\tTendency VERTICAL 1\tStuff 2\tAirship 3\tBeret 4\tHour (ab ) .6 Shouted on the 23 Onward 25\tCourt (ab.) 26\tVéhément 27\tStation (ab.) 28\tWeight unit 37\tAttic 38\tMeasure 41\tSacks 42\tFilth 44\tMineral took 45\tSun god 49 Worker 51 Lion 53 Poem 55 Babyloniar deity 57 Area measi i\tl\t3\t4\ti\t\t\t\t\tIo\t7\ta\tr-\t10 n\t\t\t\t\ta\t\t\tU\t\t\t\t\t 14\t\t\t||\tlb\t\t: 1#\tn\t\t\tB\t'S\t\t \t\t\tm\tio\t\t\t\t\t\tÉP\til\ty\t \t\tIL\tü\t\tWæ\t\t\t\t24\t25\t2b\t\t 27\t28\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t21\t\t\t50\t11 ii\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t¦Æa\tÉl\t31\t\t J4\t\t\t35\t3le\t\tW\tj j\t\t\tTT~\t\t\t\t \t\tii\t\t\t\t\t\t\t*40\t\t\t\t Wi\t41\t\t\t43\t44\tJs\t4U\t
