 MEN ON BOARD

Hartford. Dec 16-(UP)-Deputy State comptroller Robert J. smith of Manchester, chairman Of the ap- negotiations committee of the last legislature, explained today why 20 many Hartford men were chosen for the state veterans home com mission.
 The commissions choice 10 Hartford county site, Rocky hiii' has been under fire.
 Smith, who had a prominent part in choosing the commission. said the first thought of the appropriations committee was to appoint Senator Kenneth Cramer, author of the bill. The names of Raymond Y. Gates and Benedict M. Holden. members of the board of directors of the state veterans home, next suggest. ed themselves. The next logical choice seemed to be Adjutant Gen eral William r. Iadd. For the nfth member the committee chose Mich- ael r. owens because Governor Cross had just appointed him 10 the board of directors of the sol- diers' home at Noroton.
 It was accidental that all were Hartford men. smith said.

RY.H. ALLEN SMITH

New York, Dec 16.-CUP)-The Cuibertson-Lenz contract bridge match, currently occupying wide spread attention, is developing into a neck-and-ne race affair.
 Further than that, all sQuabbles between the players are simmering down to a definite basis, with each side filing intermittent claims that the others are not using the bid- ding systems before the thing got started.
 The contest degenerated into a game of teeter-totter last night, and first one side dashing out in front a piece, then the other. It finally wound up with the Culbert- sons. Ely and 10, leading by 41O points, which is practically noth- ing to write home about as far as bridge scores go. Man and wife gained just 425 points during the evenings eight rubbers. Sidney Lenz and Oswald Jacoby having started the session with a 1b-point advantage. They play again on Thursday night.
 One of the peculiar things about the last two or three sessions Is inc conduct of the press contin- gent. Most of the boys speak right up and say that it's all Q rac ket--that the whole contest is a phoney, staged for the sole purpose of boosting sales on books writ ten by the Messrs Lenz and Gull bertson.
 Having unIoashed these sneers and sentiments, these same cnl- loused individuals gallop down the corridor. tlp-toe Into the batie room and apply their eye to the screen cracks with all the fervor of 1e2e whist champions.

Nickel Placed in Mint Vending Machine, Con- fiscated in Willow Street Store, Clogs Chute Court Reserves Decision on Legality or Hlegality of Apparatus
PROPRIETOR DIDN'T
 WANT MACHINE

An alleged gambling machine presented in court to-day as evil dence was tested as to it's possibili- ties. It was recommended as being capable of dispensing "mints. tok- ems or entertainment" Judge T. ". Meyer was not content to accept the say-so of the police or the de- fendant concerning the machines accomplishments.
 Here's a nickel. I'll try my luck" remarked the court. It was his honor,s idea of being shown.
 Patrolman Patrick Moylan of the emergency squad deposited the nickel in the slot and gave the lever a yank. Court officials and spectators waited patiently for the demonstration and the outcome Of the courts investment. His honor was plainly "out of luck" He ob- tained neither "mints, tokens or en- tertainment' fo his nickel. The coin became stuck" somewhere in the chute and refused to operate the mechanism.
 Following arguments and read ing of supreme court decisions on the legality and illegality of ma chimes or when a gambling ma chine was nothing but Q mint ven- der, Judge Meyer reserved decision until tomorrow morning. William of Willow street was the defendant in the case.
 It was the claim of Attorney John Membrino, counsel for the accused, that the machine was not a gambling device. It guaranteed something for every coin invested. A person either received a pack age of hints or tokens. By return

JAPAN INTENDS
 TO BREAK FORCE
 LIMIT OF TREATY
Cabinet Will Authorize In- crease in Troops to PO- lice Manchurian Area
BY MILES w. VAUGHN

Tokio, Dec 16,-(UP)-An im- mediate increase of Japanese forces in Manchuria, possibly above the limit set by existing treaties, was indicated to-day.
 It was announced that the cabi- net would shortly approve sending a mixed brigade tOtalling about $500 men to reenforce troops making headquarters at Mukden. As Japanese troops already on duty in Manchuria are estimated at 14,- 900, this addition would bring the total well over the treaty limit of 16,000.
 General Shigeru Honjo. com manding the Manchurian forces. told the United Press correspon- dent at Mukden that Japan could not consider herself bound by the old treaty limits under present circumstances, and his view ap- peared to be shared by the govern ment.
 Some quarters understood that the government considered the Manchurian area which Japan must police" to be too large Tor 1000 men and would send sur. ficient reenforcements to palce all essential areas.
 The changed policy would mean an increase in the military budget which the government was expect ed to cover through additional domestic bond issues. Meanwhile domestic politics were complicated by the possibility that the Seiyou minority govern ment might dissolve parliament If the Minseito party, holding a par liamentary majority. opposed its embargo on gold.

 Last nights session was devoid of most of the fummadiddles which characterized previous ses- sions. For once, since the match got started, Culbertson managed to sit down without starting an ar gument. He didn't even ask his stock question-"Have you gentle men changed over to the Culbert- son system yet?"
 It was the first time @ session had ended with the Culbertsons in the lead and Ely was duly en- thusiastic. "A triumph" he said of the Hotpoint lead. "A tri- umph for the Culbertsons--some times called the one-over-one-sys- tem!"
 Lenz, grumpy about the even- ing's loss, went right home after the last hand without even stick ing around for his chicken ala king, the dish that Is served to all corners after each session. His parting word to the press was: "All I've got to say Is that Eiy's not playing his system. l wouldn't complain but he keeps harping at us. No. won't pose for pie ture. Go take a picture of q billy goat if you want picture"
 Jacoby. however. smiled benigniy as "Papa" Lenz stomped out of the hotel and then told the as- sembled press that he considers it n mere matter Of time before the Culbertsons find themselves showed under.

 EXPOSED

Cambridge. Mass. Dec 16- (UP)-A new racket--the ped- ding mt fancy prices of "direct descendants" of the Washing. ton elm-is exposed in the cur. rent issue of the Arnold Ar. boretum Bulletin, which is edit. ed by Harvard university off, cials. The original Washington elm fell in 1928 after standing near Cambridge common for approximately 2fO years. Since then, the bulletin reveals, cer- tain professional nurserymcn have sold alleged descendants of the original tree and arc now doing . brisk business because of the proximity of Washing. toms 2OOth birthday anniver- sary. Far from being direct cut. tings from the original elm. tho bulletin says, many of the "direct descendants" are two or more generations removed from the original, while some are probably in no way connected with 1t. Not only that, but the bulletin concludes that "unfOr- tunately there Is absolutely no proof that Washington. either assumed command of the Amer ican army under the shade Of this tree. or that he noticed 1t or cared for it,"

 He accused the democrats Of. having no program, and blamed them for failure to rally to the Hoover standard in time of depres- sion.

 1. He has sought to maintain the American standard of living"

 and called upon every community to take care of its unemployed.
 5. "The dole system would have been adopted if 1t had not been for the efforts of the president"
 6. "He went to the assistance of those farmers in 21 states who were afflicted by the drought"
 2. "The farm boards policy has saved the farmers billions of dollars and prevented the failure of thousands of banks"
 8. "The president directed the mobilization of banks in a credit pool of $500.000, ,000."

Hamilton, a |member of the Connecticut bar and |counsel for the plaintiff, explained |fhat while all parties involved were |of Connecticut; the case was brought into. the Rhode Island |couxts because a fair trial could hot be obtained in the adjoining btate.
