Easy Slam
Hard To Bid
By OSWALD JACOBY I
Newspaper Enterprise Assn.
Some nt the easiest slams to
make are hardest to bid. At six
clubs .South has to remember to
ruff one diamond, in dummy be
fore drawing trumps, after which
he must discard his jack, five
and three of hearts on dummy's
long spades.
South can also make five hearts
or North five spades, but the
major suit slams don't make he-
cause the heart finesse is needed
and it doesn't work.
The bidding shown in the box
. is the way one expert pair bid
this slam. The first bid that
quires explanation is North's raise
from two to three hearts. In some
circles South miglH well have
nassed that bid, but in that parti
cular sector the three-heart bid.
was what might be called an in
ferential force. So South went on
to four hearts whereupon North
continued his snaillike pace with
a bid of five clubs.
South really thought about pass
ing this one. but he realized that
North was indicating a singleton
diamond. Hence, South decided
nlhat there might be a slam, but
South wasn't going to commit
himself that far. He just wenti
on to five hearts.
North might have passed at.
this point, but he thought that his
very good spades warranted get
ting to six. North did not want ui
place the slam, but he knew how
to get South to place it. North's
five-spade bid just asked South
to choose between six hearts and
six clubs and South made the
right choice.

1. $11,500,000 for 1,150 new flat cars, being built In Oregon
primarily for movement of finished lumber and other Oregon forest products. Builder of these
53-foot-long cars is Gunderaon Bros. Engineering Corp., Portland. Initial 400-car order is
currently being delivered. Remaining 750 cars will be placed in service during the next sev
eral months.
2. Conversion of 750 standard box cars to wide-door design
v for shipments of Oregon plywood. The new 10-foot doors on these 40-foot-long cars permit
fast mechanical loading and unloading. Diagonal door stripe codes cars for immediate return
to Oregon.
3. Another 500 double-dOOr bOX Cars, added to S.P.'s wide-door fleet in
1962, and now assigned to Oregon service for hauling plywood and packaged lumber. Like
the newly converted wide-door box cars, these 50-foot-Iong, "yellow door" cars say, "Send
me back to Oregon."
4. 1,300 new "king-sized" Hydra-Cushion box cars being delivered
U S.P. this summer and fall, are well suited for carrying paper, canned goods, and other
Oregon products needing extra protection. These new 60-foot cars can carry twenty percent
more freight than 50-foot box cars.
5. New "floating-load" tie-dOWn technique can speed loading and reduce
shipping costs for other forest products besides finished lumber. Here, twenty huge rolls of
' paperboard ride secure and protected on one of S.P.'s new 6'i-fool, Oregon-built flat cars.
These latest additions to the Southern Pacific freight fleet are part of S.P.'s expanded, multi-million
dollar program to provide Oregon industries with the special equipment they need to move Oregon
products to market. Moreover, the stepped-up order for flat cars represents a significant contri
bution to Oregon's economy, both in dollar volume and in use of Oregon materials and manpower.
Overall, these new S.P. equipment purchases boost Southern Pacific's expenditures above $187
million for more than 19,000 new freight cars in the past six years.
