prenaturely exploded Wednesday,
claiming lives of two mali clerks.
Their investigation probably will
lead into an examination of the ac-

engineered by Italians bitter to
Mussolini's regime in Italy, and was
aimed at the assassination Of lead

Six packages were mailed in the
Easton postoffice. One was adj

The three other packages were adj

Culbertson WrangIes With
25O-Pound Duke; Then

BY II. ALLEN SMITH
United Press Stan Correspondent

NEW YORK, Dec. 31.-A GENTLE
man mighty near as big as Primo
Camera offered practically to
knock Ely Culbertson's block off
Wednesday night, and Culbertson.
after running the same person off
the premises, sat down and in
creased his lead over Sidney Lenz-
IN the Culbertson-Len contract
bridge match, of course-by 1900
points.
The two lead lids which cap the
Waldorf-Astoria, where the match
IS being played, jiggered and
Jumped when Ely and Sir Derrick
Wernnher, 250-pound person from
the British Isles, stood toe to toe
and called each other fancy names.
Sir Derrick, who stopped to get
into the press room, was sitting
there, a half hour before game
time, talking to the boys who write.
Then Ely Culbertson, gardenia in
lapel, entered smiling.
How about that challenge you
made to me?" said Sir Derrick, in
his best manner.
Calls CuIbertson yellow"
So Ely, ups to him and he says:
Which challenge do you have
reference tor"
THE challenge" said Sir Derrick,
you made to me about bridge
match last July"
YOU" said Ely, as he ups to Duke
Derrick, must have your feathers
on wrong"
So Sir Derrick, who is slated to
be next president of the American
Bridge League, well-he ups to Ely
and he says:
You're yellow backslider.
You're a cheap nobody"
Don't" screamed Ely, call me
yellow. You will get your teeth
knocked down your throat. Will
somebody please close the door so
nobody can see me wallop this per-
son?" (Mr. CulbertSon apparently
forgot that this all happened in the
press room, with a dozen reporters
rapidly Scribbling notes on move for
move, word for word)
And so Ely ups and says to Sir
Derrick:
Don't Like You"
"You are nothing but 500 pounds
of English beef. Five hundred pounds
of English beef Do you think I'd
dirty my fingers by playing at the
same table with you-you 500 pounds
of English beef-you remittance man.
I don't like your English accent. 1
don't like you. 1 think you're a
minor-shark in bridge. Now beat
it out of here and let me alone!"
Well, Sir Derrick-bless is soul
stuck along. Sir Derrick was kind
of put out. You can imagine the
surprise when Ely cut loose again.
Don't you call me liar" Ely
screamed-Sir Derrick did it, pom
my word-"You are a nobody and
you amount to nothing"
They doubled and redoubled their
fists, but nobody was set on the re-
double.

They finally pulled them apart

After q. conference with President
Hoover, Senator Reed openly de-
clared Thursday that the United
States must prepare for the next war
to the extent of billions of dollars OF
ornaments. The occasion for this
open admission of war preparations
was the declaration of Reed, for the
administration, that the veterans
should not be granted the full pay
ment of the face value of the war
veterans adjusted compensation GER
tificates. Reed pointed to the next
war in the following words, 1T is up
to the veterans as to which war we
are going to pay for, the last one or
the next one"
The United States must now, says
Reed, build up the navy to the Lon
don treaty strength. The Hoover ad-
ministration wants the veterans of
the last war to starve, and so refuses
them the payment Of their compen-
sation, in order that the United
States can prepare better for the
next war, the attack on the Soviet
Union.
