There is every indication the

BRIDGE SYSTEMS ARE HAVING ONE
 GREAT BATTLE
CuIbertson System Is De- lending Itself Against Att tacks Made By Some Bridge Experts
By H. ALLEN SMITH ,t,,.,eS..s rsrnss rtoA fiorrnannnHan

United Press stan Correspondent.)
 New York, June 24.--(UP)-The battle of the contract bridge sys- tems, in which Ely Culbertson and his Culbertson system are aligned against the new official system" in- augurated by Milton c. Work, Will bur c. whitehead, Sidney Lenz, Shepard Barclay and other noted ex- perts, gained ground to-day as Gull bertson leaped to the defense of his two-forcing bid.
 Culbertson made the open charge that the new organization, known as Bridge Headquarters, Inc, is a purely commercial venture, formed for the purpose of selling bridge supplies, from pencils to bridge lamps.
 While he was issuing this state ment, Madeleine Kerwin, president of the American Bridge League and considered the foremost woman ex- pcnent of contract bridge in the country, told the United Press that Culbertson's system of play is the system devised by herself and other members of the Cavendish club.
 'I codified the system and called it the Cavendish club system three years ago." Mrs Kerwin said, and the book in which I first outlined it has already sold more than 50,O0O copies. MT Culbertson has appro- priated it and given it his name"
 Culbertson, informed of Mrs Ker- wins declaration, referred to her as "a local teacher unknown outside a limited circle" and said he would mot dignify her charge by deigning to answer it."
 Mrs Kerwin said that Bridge Headquarters, Inc, was organized for the specific purpose of fighting Culbertson, and that the leading ex- perts of the nation have banded themselves together in an attempt to end what she called Culbertson's .autocratic and arbitrary" methods.
 Instead of answering her charge, Culbertson brought out clippings, quotations and letters all referring to his own abilities.
 q have not only doubts as to the efficacy and of such an official sys-- tenn gotten up apparently in great hurry, but I greatly fear that the reaction of thousands of players, when they find that the various sys- tems which they have spent months and years to learn are admittedly wrong, and will do untold harm to the great intellectual game of bridge" he said. T do not only speak for myself but for more than 1900 of my associates, teachers and writer's"
 Culbertson said that he was in- vited to join Bridge Headquarters. Inc, but that T am not interested in promoting any purely merchant disc enterprise disguised under al- truistic motives" He referred to the experts who have formed the or ga anization as men who flor three years almost killed the game of Con- tract by their dissensions."

BRICKS TO TELL
 HISTORY OF UR

London (UP)- Four thousand years ago in the desert near Bag dad flourished the great city of UT of the Chaldees, with it shops, schools and manners of life that have formed the basis of modern civilization.
 Now experts are to take a cen sus of this eastern metropolis, which like many another capital, declined and fell to be left derelict in the burning desert.
 In the cellars of the British Museum workmen are unpacking 30 large cases which Leonard Woolley. the achaeologist, has brought back from UT. They are full, mostly, of clay bricks in scribed with cunei- form writings which tell of ordin- ary happenings in UT 4,000 years ago.
 There are schoolbooks, trades mems accounts, love-letters, and all kinds of writings" Woolley said.
 From them I hope to find who lived in each house, what they Hdid for a living, and, in fact, to make a complete directory of the city, dating from about the time of its final assertion 2,000 B. c.

It would have been "easy pick ings" for any burglar or in fact for a non-member of that profession had he discovered that opportunity had not knocked but had "opened" the door to success. The reward would have been $28 in cash and any amount of merchandise from the Fulton Market on Watertown avenue.
 Patrolmen Joseph Mccarthy and Patrick Griffin making their round of inspection early this morning dis covered the door of the store open. The two officers made Q hurried in- spection of the premises but failed to discover any marks to indicate a forcible entry and after thorough search of the place found no one in hiding.
 The two policemen "pocketed" the money and brought it to police headquarters for safe keeping. The manager of the store was later mo- tified. An inventory was taken, but nothing was found missing. The
