This should conclude the bidding.
 As to whether or not the double of three is a business or informatory double the authorities are hopeless lv at issue. The fact Is that this question Is the one outstanding prin- ciple in auction bridge which has not been standardized. Therefore, 1t Is well to understand that much uooted question in advance.
 The Play
 South should open either the king or clubs or the 10 of diamonds.
 Generally the opening of a single ton is indeed a gamble. However, there are a few instances in which singleton may be opened without severe criticism. South's hand is one ut those instances, inasmuch as he has the trump suit stopped with both the ace-king. and is able to take the first and the second trump tricks and then attempt to get his partner in the lead for the purpose : of returning his singleton suit.
 However, if the king of clubs is opened, North must play an encour- aging card, the eight spot, but South mould disregard his partners ad- .lce and immediately thereafter play tis singleton diamond. It Is here when East has the marvellous oppor- unity of gaining an extra trick. Aft er the jack of diamonds holds the trick, the declarer, who visuauzes he possibility of this being single .on. should a: all hazards prevent North from thereafter getting into the lead and returning the diamond suit. There is only one possible ptethod of doing this, and even that Llethod is dependent upon the 'loca- ton of the ace of hearts.
 At trick No 3, therefore. West leads tine king of hearts Ono other seart will Gs) upon which East shouid discarc his losing club. Re- gardIess now of what South may play. 1t is impossible for him to ever get hls partne- Into the lead for the purpose ot returning diamonds

 This deal invites considerable va riation in auction bidding. North has ] pass that cannot be questioned. Personally, as East, I would pre- empt spades with only three. inas- much as it requires a bid of four in any other suit to overcall.
 In pre-cmpting. however, it is usually customary to bid two more tricks than your hand calls for, and since East has eight sure tricks. to bid for 10 tricks would not be bad auction. South has a legitimate dou- ble of either three or four spades regardless of results.

Einstein Expected to Vie1O
Artificial Life Cells

Further experimenting in the
past two months have led DR..
Grille to desire DR.. Einstein and
medical and scientific authorities
in New York to examine the So
called synthetic life cell.
After DR.. Einstein has conferred
with Chicago group of workers
for world peace, who plan to
present to him an "Einstein Peace
Fund" he will depart with DR..
Grille for New York.
Mends Broken Cells
There they are expected to
meet with authorities at the lab
oratories of the Rockefeller Foun-
dation.
The Grille exhibit, at last re-
ports, showed the cell broken and
it's pieces scattered in way that
presumably would kill any cell
and irretrievably destroy a larger
collection of cells, such as an
egg. But DIR. Grille was said to
be able to cause this cell to mend
itself and reaSsume the activities
of a living thing.

Extinction Is Facing
Small Communities

The consolidation of townships,

as is now proposed in some States,
would be a helpful means of re
ducing farm taxes and providing
farmers with modern hospitals,
schools, churches and other local
institutions, in the opinion Of DR..
C. j. Galpin, Department Of Agrl-

DR.. Galpin says that in order to
finance modern conveniences Of
community life in a rural commu-
nifty it must be composed of not
less than 1000 rural families. He
declares that the small community
cannot finance modern inStitu

PROBE Of BASIC
INDUSTRIES
SOUGHT
House Sends Resolution to
Senate Seeking Oil, Lumber,
Coal, Asbestos SCannings

Revision Of the Hawley-Smoot
tariff law in the next session of
Congress appeared to be a posi-
bility today as the House sent to
the Senate a resolution for inveS-
tigation of the oil, agriculture,
coal, lumber, manganese and as
bestos industries.
The proposed investigation, ariS-
ing out of the fight of interests
for a tariff on oil and other
products and embargo against
products of Soviet Russia, would
be conducted by the Ways and
Means Committee during the sum-
mer recess.
Covering as it does a wide field,
and with political control about
evenly divided in the next Con-
gress, opponents of the Hawley-
Smoot law saw in it a chance to
obtain action next session. Repre-
sentative Garner said:
'It is quite possible it may
lead to a considerable revision
of the tariff act by schedules,
not a general revision"
When the House voted the in
veStigation, Representative Nc
Reynolds CD of Tennessee voiced
the hope of many opponents of
the Hawley-Smoot law when he
said he hoped it would lead to
downward revision.
G. o. p. Raped
Hawley declared the committee,
with the aid of experts. hoped to
study the facts regarding effect
of imports on all the industries
named.
While supporting it, Garner
labeled the proposal as a face
saving" plan for the Republican
organization in the House, which
aroused hostility of oil-State men,
bers by killing oil tariff proposals
in the present session. He added:
"This resolution, in my judg-
ment, is advisable If carried out
in good faith, and, of course,
the presumption is it will be-"
He suggested the first witnesses
called be Secretary of the Treas
ury Mellon, reputed power in the
Gulf company, and John D.
Rockefeller, jr.
Will Call Mellon
Garner said he wanted to know
whether there is price control OF
gasoline through combination of
holding companies.
Hawley told him he had no OBJ
lection to Mellon being sum-
moned before the committee and
said he assumed "the books Of the
company mentioned would be ex-
amined."
During the debate, Representa-
tive Hoch (R0 of Kansas settled
fears of some Republicans that
Kansas Republicans would bolt
next SESSION. Hoch and four
other KariSans refused to attend
the Republican caucus to preserve
their freedom of action"
Hoch said he intended to make
his fight for an oil tariff within
the ranks of the Republican
party.

IS third IN petroleum production, rank
ing next behind the United States and
Venezuela.
Expects Greater Export.
Commenting that 1880 petroleum ex-
ports were about 81 per cent of pro-
duction, NJ Ganshin said: while our
exports naturally will increase, our
actual export percentage of total pro-
duction will tend to decrease because
OF the great demand in our own coun-
leum customers now are Italy, England
France and Germany.
I'VE will continue our policy Of
strengthening business relations with
independent countries and maintaining
by all possible means our connections
with countries which produce no oil of
their own" Ganshin said. "At the
same time We will develop our distrib-
uting machinery abroad and will not
refuse to maintain friendly relations
with those branches of the world where
we have established commercial con-
facts in the past"
He pointed out that while the oil
output of all capitalistic countries with
the exception Of Rumania declined last
year, Soviet Russia had q record-break-
ing production increase of 81 per cent
During the past 10 years the average
annual increase has been II to 10 per
cent.
Local Consumption Jagged.
"In 1880 both internal consumption
Of petroleum and exports advanced by
Is per cent over the previous year. 1t
is highly important to note that for a
number of years the increase of Soviet
Union oil for export regularly exceeded
in proportion the increase Of internal
consumption.
