 To illustrate: If the opening bid is one club and the assisting hand had adequate support for clubs but, at the same time, holds good heart or spade bid. hc should show the major suit and, later. support the club. if advisable.

Considerable thought and analyeis has been brought to bear on this subject by the Advisory Council, and in tho official System q rea- sonable formula is agreed upon that covers the situation effective ly.

CHIEF JUSTICE
 HUGHES JOINED
 THE OBSERVERS
Changed From Conserva- tive Ideas Since He Was Placed in Present High Position
By RAYMOND CHAPTER nited Press Staff COFfeSDOndent)

Limited Press Staff COfrespOndent) I Washington, May 26.-UP)- Though his appointment was fought last year by senate progressives who regarded him as too conservative, Chief Justice Charles E. Hughes has become an outstanding champion of so- -called liberal principles in recent decisions of the supreme court.
 His dissent in the conscientious objectors cases is the latest and most vigorous instance.
 The man who is said to have lost the presidency in 1916 because he failed to shake hands with Hiram Johnson >of California, Roosevelt's running mate in the progressive movement, has taken his place on the supreme court with that famous pair of dissenters. Oliver Wendell Holmes and Louis D. Brandeis. Either of them might be suspected of ghost writing the latest opinions of Hughes but for the fact that the chief jus ltice, who in 1928 said he was too lold to run for president, goes at the work of the court with the same overwhelming energy that he threw Into the investigation of New York Il Life Insurance scandals quarter Of Ia centiiry ago.a -.e -.-,-- 5s-.-@9Ss-,s Hughes shifts over from the con servative faction and joins the dis senters-who more and more are coming to command majority in i've to -four decisions. due to the ac- cession to the court of Harlan Fiske Stone and owen w. Roberts, both of whom frequently side with Holmes and Brandeis.
 The "test case' for. Hughes as a liberal came in the decisions re- garding citizenship applications of Professor Douglas Clyde Macintosh of Yale Divinity school, and Marie Averil Bland, both of whom saw non- -combatant war service in France but who refused. in seeking Ameri- can citizenship, to promise to bear arms. Both had religious scruples. Professor Macintosh said he would not promise to bear arms in any war he thought unjust | Liberal groups had made an 1s- sue of these cases and fought them through to the highest court. Five justices upheld lower courts in re- fusing citizenship, holding there could be no reservations to the pledge of allegiance. Four dissent led-Hughes, Holmes, Brandeis and Stone. Hughes summarized the philosophy of the liberals in this passage of his decisions:
 "when ones belief cOllides with the power of the state, the latter lis supreme within its sphere and submission or punishment follows. But, in the forum of conscience. duty to a moral power higher than the state has always been maintained. The attempt to exact such promise, and thus to bind ones conscience by taking an oath or the submission to tests has been the cause of many ldeplorable conflicts. The congress has sought to avoid such conflicts in this country by respecting a happy tradition" :"
 In rejecting conviction under the California "red-flag" law last week. Hughes in the majority opinion de- clared free government required maintainance of free discussion to the end that government might he responsive to the will of the people.

He expects that in the next two days, checks will be forthcom- ing from the manufacturing concerns which will boost the total more than a million dollars.
 T would like all the people who possibly can to get in tomorrow and Thursday as there will be terrible jam on Friday with hundreds in line.
