Stuck on last two for days.
12 across Fleming who composed and rejected last letter, drinking half of strong coffee (3, 4)
I have D?S ?R?Z It seems to indicate that the second word starts with 'T' (drinking half of strong).
I've tried every combination I can think, but not a thing in Chambers or anywhere else.
13 across Scotland's vulgar traitor yielding lead to Queen (5)
I have R?D?S. Can think of absolutely nothing.
Thanks for help.

13 Judas -> rudas, in Chambers as (Scot) coarse

Thanks ginge. Should have tried the combinations I could think of in Chambers.

Des-prez, espr(esso) in zed reversed.

Perhaps I should have added Fleming here means a native of Flanders; Josquin Des- Prez (the surname sometimes without the hyphen) was a composer.

Thanks a lot. That's the hardest (for me) clue that I've seen in the Club Monthly and that's saying something.
