DAWES OFFERS WRONG
REMEDY

The unhappy jam i'll which the United States
Senate found itself in it's closing days. with the
consequent failure of explanation needed to carry
the Governments business. has drawn new attention
to the campaign of Vice President Dawes for a
change in Senate rules.
Dawes may be expected to make the most of it.
1t is said he intends to talk lot about it between
and the next session.
He will, doubt, enlarge the subject of
filibusters made possible by the Senate rules He
is apt to offer the lower house of Congress and its
rules something preferable.
Let's see. The shining example of disaster
caused by flbuster in the session just ended was
the Boulder Dam bill. Four obstreperous Senators
talked it to death. They had to talk two full days
to do it.
But Boulder Dam died in the House, too. 1t
wasn't talked to death there. 1t was whispered to
death. And it didn't require two days of whisper
ing to do it. 1t required two minutes. 1t didn't
qure relays of stubborn statesmen, hanging to
the floor like grim death. 1t required only three
the speaker, the majority floor leader and the
chairman of the rules committee. These three men
decided Boulder Dam not to have a chance
and it didn't have chance. An exchange of whispers
between them decided this Notwithstanding more
than half of the House membership was ready to
pass the BILL
If remedy is really wanted for the ilibustering
habit, the present short session of Congress
be abolished. Under the Constitution, a session is
held every other year from the middle of December
to the fourth of March, In this sit all the lame ducks
defeated in the November elections. (The men
elected in November do not take their seats until
December of the following year-thirteen months
later) In this short session the effort is made to
transact business that not be completed in SO
brief time. Result: Disaster like the one just wit
messed in Washington The Senate understands this
and has three times adopted resolution for con-
stitutional amendment that would put end to the
situation 1t provides that members of Congress
elected in November shall take Office in the follow
ing January and shall sit until their business is con-
Guided
The House likewise understands this and is
ready to adopt the same resolution. But three times
the resolution has died without the House member
ship being allowed-get that word-"aowed" ITO
vote on it. The little group of autocrats who man
age the House by grace of the rules that
Dawes is urging for the Senate, won't ALLOW the
members of the House to vote the question.
Senate filibusters frequently are bad But the
regular state of affairs in the House is worse
1t is about time that citizens instructed their
congressman to override their leaders and put Con-
gress on business basis at least, on business
time schedule.

ENEMIES HELP REED
By Leo R. Sack

Senator David A. Reed of Pennsylvania and his
fellow Republican flibusterers sought head off the
rapidly growing national prestige of Senator James
Reed of Missouri. but their plans mscarEed
What they did, all Washington agrees, is to make
him imposing candidate for the Democratic nomi-
nation for president.
Reed emerged hero from the hectic ilibuster.
The record is there He made 1t and Senators Reed of
Pennsylvania, Moses of New Hampshire and Wads-
worth of New York, helped to make it for him.
Throughout the debate the record shows he will
ing to temporarily lay aside his resolution directing
continuation of his slush fund investigation until
essary appropriation legislation could pass, but Re
publican Senators would not let him.
The fbuster blessing in disguise for Reed.
Looking back the Senate sessions the past few
days he privately has much to be thankful for Had
not Moses, Reed of Pennsylvania and Wadsworth
banded together to stop his resolution it would have
attracted attention. but it u.s. the driving of
rupton out of politics is made national ISSUE with
Jim Reed in the role of driver

the Senate action His insstence the resolution
in order to handle recalcran witnesses, who like
Samuel insult of Chicago, may seek to defy the
mittee The Supreme Court has held that the Senate
is continuing body, likewise it's committees. Reed,
therefore, will continue with his Investigations during
the summer. The Congress closed with Jim Reed of
Missouri, its outstanding member. This prestige prob
ably will result in much impetus for his presidential
boom.
Reed announced he will investigate the Senator
election in Colorado If his investigation should pro-
duce the result as. those in Pennsylvania and
illinois, it will have greater effect the United
States Senate than the others could have.

When Double Is Business
or Informatory tx
planned,
BY MILTON G. WORK

The Pointer for today Is:
A double of a bid Of one no trump
or of one, two or three OF suit, Is
infOrmatOry when made at the hrst
opportunity to double that declara-
ton and before the partner OF the
doubIer has bid or doubled. All other
doubles are business.
The use of the informatory double
by partners resembles in one respect
the carrying on of a conversation by
two individuals. For the converse
ton to be thoroughly understood, 1t
is necessary that both participants
sneak and understand the same
language; and the same thing APP
plies even more forcefully to the use
of the informatory double at the
Auction Bridge table. To make IL
effective, it is essential that both
mariners understand exactly when
double is business and when IT Is IN
formatory. When there is any doubt
in either mind upon that point. O.
If the doubler be uncertain whether
the meaning he wishes to convey
can be given by a double under the
conditions. or IL the partner OF the
doubler be uncertain as to whether
the double was intended to be in
formatory or business disaster Is
bound to ensue and It is better no
TO use the informatory double at allN
The up to date conventional way
in which to use the double is set
forth in the pointer above given; and
If that be understood thoroughly by
both partners, many of the troubles
that frequently arise in connection
with the use of tho infornatory
double will be eliminated.
1t should be understood clearly
that a double Of two or more No
Trumps, or Of four or more OF a
suit. is always business regardless
of whether or not the partner of the
doubler has previously bid; and also
that a double of any declaration is
business If the partner OF the
doubler has previously bid or
doubled. Used in this way, the in.
formatory double rarely deprives a
sound bidder OF the opportunity 10
make an advantageous business dou'
BILE, and yet affords practically all
the leeway desirable for informatory
doubles.

OF course, that is my reaction. I
may be all wrong, but this / do know
that it was not until the first three
Chopin numbers in the second group
that the audience responded to the
artist in that definite way which
carries no doubt as TO the mood of
those present. Scriabin's Fourth
Sonata" two movements, was a de-
light and was beautifully played.
The first three numbers of the
third group was what 1 call effec-
tive musical theater. The numbers
were Poulencs EN- Auto" from the
Promenade Suite" "Serenade" by
Strauss and Ilbert's THE Little
White Mule"
The Poulenc delight was so mag
nihcently played and done in such
spirit of tantalizing fun that the
artist was obliged to repeat it be-
fore she could resume her program.
The closing number was Fielder
maus," by Strauss-G odowskl, which
showed the projection Of the artistry
of Novaes. This resulted in at least
two encores.
To me the three Chopin numbers
will linger in my memory box as
the high lights of this concert.

TELL THE GOVERNOR

The Governor has not yet signed or refused to
sign the bill which would prevent the people of this
city and of Evansville and New Albany from adopt
ing the city manager form of government until after
the present mayors have served their terms
Many hundreds of leading citizens have told the
Governor that they are against this invasion OF
their rights citizens for tina It's what this measure
means
When the present mayors elected the law
provided that the people could at any time change
to the city manager system.
The mayors elected with that provision
as part of their contract with the people
They not only accepted Office on this basis but
they actively engaged in campaigns to get the job
under that condition.
Now they have succeeded through combina-
ton of Republican and Democratic machine in
nuence to pass a measure, which if it becomes law
nullifles that part of their contract.
They ask that they be protected in their Jobs
against any desire on the part of the people,
Inc measure was especially designed to pro-
tect Mayor Duval of this city and Mayor Males of
Evansville 1t also protects a mayor at New ALBANY
a Democrat and by the aid Of utility loggyists,
enought Democratic votes were bearded up for the
measure to pass it.
1t is a law which is designed to protect bad
government or at least government with which
there is dissatisfaction.
1t is a measure which by inference declares that
the people can not have the right to obtain the bene
fits of the city manager system of government.
1t is measure which has the support only of
machine politicians and the opposition of leaders of
business and industry, of leaders in every civic
movement for decency.
The Governor prevent this measure from
becoming law. 1t requires his signature.

able that Governor jackson will, plainly obey the
dictates OF machine politicians and tell the good
citizens of the State that he does what they
wish desire.

that it has taken j. Patrick and his

four weeks, working at night and ir
the mornings.
The work has not been in vain as
the Circle auditorium is ideally con-
structed to get good tone qualities.

Jolson was singing and especially
when Martinelli, the operate tenor,
was singing.
