The holding of certain cards some times forces us to open a double ton. The doubleton lead in to-day's hand is the only one that has a chance of defeating the declarer's contract, but it takes accurate card reading on the part of the partner to defeat the hand, and likewise on the part of the declarer to make his contract if opponents slip.

dent If WMAQ, Inc. Chicago broad

Of National Broadcasters.
Television, said Hedges. never will
supplant sound radio. Television
requires the undivided attention Of
the onlooker. No bridge games or
any other form OF entertainment is
possible when paying attention TO
this device.
With sound, music and voice the
whole idea changes. Turn on the
radio and then do what you please.
: something catches your ear. all
va have to do is listen, without
holding up the play. provided you
are bridge addict, he said.
Arguments for radio programs
divorced from advertising received
a severe blow in Hedges talk.
American broadcast programs re-
quire an annual expenditure Of
$20,000,00O, he said. If this sum
can not be raised by levieS on adj
vertisers sponsoring the programs,
Hedges said, it must come out of
the pockets of the listeners, which
means tax of approximately IS
for each radio set.
Warning that the supremacy Of
the United States as the worlds

Russia was made Monday by o. H.

Head Says.

Radio fans who have been sitting
on the edge of their chair, waiting
for the long heralded "television
set" are due for a great disappoint-
ment.
Eugene r. Fanny, president of
the All-American Mohawk Corpora
ton, attending the fifth annual
convention of radio declarations at
the Lincoln, said today that the
less said about television, the better
for all concerned, manufacturer and
radio listener alike"
Television, according to Fanny, is
a long way from being the practical
household device the radio set has
become. 1t will be years, in his
estimation, before the combined
radio and television set will be prac-
teal for the home.

life going. We must import rub
Der, silk, nickel, tin and numerous
other commodities vital to our in
dustry and our people. Forty diff
ferent commodities from hfty-seven
different countries, for example, are
necessary to the manufacture Of
steel alone.
"A country that could not make
locomotive, an automobile or an
airplane without materials from
abroad scarcely can be called self
contained.
by the same token, a country
whose excess wheat and cotton are
rotting in the fields and store
houses because its foreign market
has gone to pieces, is not in a po-
sition to talk IN terms Of Wash
ington's farewell address.
Rise and Fall Together
around the world, prosperity and
depression keep the same rhythm,
and rise and fall together like the
ebb and flow of the sea. There are
no good times that can be confined
to one country, and no bad times
that can be isolated permanently.
Our twentieth century world is
a cogged machine.
There are no doubt many things
that could be done on a purely ma
tional basis to promote our own
economic recovery, and these things
should be done. But even then the
germs Of the world disease still
would be alive, and other epidemics,
probably with increasing frequency
and severity, will sweep down upon
us from abroad and PROSTATE us
again.
How can we expect to maintain
our industrial health when we are
like Siamese twins to nations in
which industrial disease is rampant?
America Must Help
L have no special competence to
answer these questions, but I sug-
gest that we might try to adapt our
political ideas and actions to the
new conditions inevitable in close
ly bound community of economically
1nter-dependent nations.
Whether it is the League of Ma
tons, the world court, the Interna-
tional Chamber of Commerce, or
whatever the machinery, official or
unofficial, by which the overlapping
interests Of nations are given voice
and expression, we must be pre-
pared to carry our full share of the
common enterprise.
Europeans, Americans, Asiatics-
all of us-are in this situation to-
gether. Companions in depression,
we must be partners in recovery"

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Feb. IT.
Ina Claire, disillusioned in romance,
has returned to Hollywood, trium-
plant, at least, in her fight for a
career.
Definitely separated from John
Gilbert, Miss Claire has returned
to star in five pictures for Samuel
Goldwyn.
Discouraged at first, she fought
her way to stardom in 1.-THE Royal
Family" and now faces a brilliant
future in the five productions for
Goldwyn.
Gilbert is on the shaky edge and
frantically his studio is trying one
type of story after another. Ru-
NOR has it that the couple first
broke when Miss Claire, with the
solid experience of the speaking
stage behind her, told Gilbert
frankly what was wrong with his
first talkies and that he resented it

And it all comes down to
this: We are trying to run a
twentieth century industrial
work with eighteenth century
political ideas. Our engineers
have outstripped our states
men. Mass production has
grown faster than mass buy
ing power.
I'VE are living today in an inter-
dependent world, woven together
with thousands OF criss-crossing
threads.
In 1920 when the ruin of central
Europe condemned the greater part
OF English and German spinning
mills, approximately one-third of
our cotton area in the southern
states was abandoned-not from
anything we did, mind you. but be-
cause the purchasing power of peo-
pie 5000 miles away was reduced
temporarily.
They Pay Your Rent
"Colonists settle in Manitoba.
They buy English cloth, stimulating
the mills in Brandford, England, to
buy more wool from sheep farms
IN Australia. The sheep farmers
buy automobiles, cotton goods, and
building materials through the New
York market and so, in this indi-
rect fashion, settlers in Manitoba
pay the rent and buy groceries for
American workingmen.
And so it goes. This complex
play of action and interaction which
constitutes our twentieth century
industrial civilization could be por-
trayed in endless illustrations.
Each time a dock is built in
Montevideo, it is necessary to add a
dock at New York and at Hamburg
one nation extends its agriculture
While another increases its factories.
From year to year the rhythm
accelerates. From one continent to
another the circuit of men, mer-
chandlse, and capital is ever more
rapld-a vast cyclical movement in
which progress made on one side
determines an advance on the other,
and distress in one quarter brings
distress to all the rest.
We're Not Self Contained
No country is self-contained. We
must dispose of our surplus prod
ucts abroad or suffer price falls at
home, unemployment and decreased
purchasing power.
AT the same time we are de-
pendent upon foreign countries for

~ LEvELAND. Ohio. June 80
If Max Schmeling and Young
4 Stribling fight up to the way
they look they should put on
battle never to be forgotten. Both
are in superb shape Both are finely
trained athletes, about the same
height. the same weight, the same
strength and the same reach.
But there remain two elements to
consider. One is Schmeling's boxing
skill and his experience, including
the fact that In the last two years he
has boxed only four competitive
rounds. The other element Is the
matter of Stribling's aggressiveness,
y big factor in any competition, from
foot ball to golf.
There are those who smoker and
sheer at the "old will to win," the
big take a chance" but 1t is a large
part Of the plot in any sport. Foot
ball is physical pressure, golf Is men
tai and nerve pressure. A big fight
combines both.
I still believe Stribling has the
physical elements on his side. He Is
a better boxer, much faster, fully as
strong and more experienced, and he
can use two hands where Schmeling
uses only one to any effect.
But up to this impending meeting,
Schmeling has been much more on
the aggressive side. Stribling has
yet to reach the peak he could reach
IL he would only turn himself loose.

metro CORR will have to
- go some to beat Babe Hunt
In the feature ring bout at
the Mid-City Arenas OPEN
ing boxing show at Laurel, Md, to-
morrow night think those fistic
followers who yesterday watched the
bronzed Oklahoma boy, Hunt, 60
through his PAGES in Angy GERMS
gymnasium.
Hunt, who boxed five rounds with
JEFF Thomas, 21O-pound Negro. and
Reds Barry, local light-heavyweight
impressed local fans with his speed
and right mitt, which rocked
Thomas on several occasions.
CORR and Hunt met in Birming-
ham once before, the bout ending
in a no-decision, but Hunt figures
he has improved plenty since and is
confident of trimming CORR tomor-
row night. 1t will be a 10-round
bout.
Interest also is running high in
the 32-round preliminary program,
especially in the 10-round semi
final between Herman Weiner. Bal
timore, and Mike Sullivan, Phila-
delphia heavyweight.
Another promising scrap looms
in the Arthur De Beve-Mickey Dia-
mond battle, eight rounds or less.
