New York, Jan 23.-A young Val student has kicked up a rumpus at the university by writing for an un- dergraduate publication an article in which he tells the university au- thorities that their artistic taste is terrible.
 The student, William Harlan Hale, a senior, declares that Yale's build ing fund of more than 30.000,0OO has been atrociously handled. He talks about the "blank failure' of the building authorities, and accuses htem of providing an environment that is sure to spoil the artistic taste of students for years to come.
 His article originally published in the Hardness Hoot, attracted the attention of Charles Butler, chair man of the committee on education

The Bidding

c-A.1o.5 sl The Bidding Under the writer's system, the bidding would be South two no trump. West pass, North three clubs. This shows at least a four-card club suit and one and one-half tricks.
 East pass, South four no trump, North now goes to five diamonds. showing a five-card diamond suit.
 South can now figure that North
 holds five and four-card suit. both headed by the king, queen, and goes to six no trump.
 The Play
 If club is opened the declarer
 makes six no trump without any trouble as he allows it to ride to his ten spot. This then gives him five diamond tricks, four club tricks. the ace of hearts and the ace and
 king of spades With the deuce of spades opening, the play is more interesting. Dummy covers with the ten, West is forced to play the queen, which declarer I wins with the ace. Declarer leads the ace of diamonds and then his ten | of diamo onds, overriding in the dum- 1 my with the king and continues un- til he has played the five diamond tricks. On the fourth and fifth dia- mond declarer discards the four and
 seven of hearts, East discarding the | four and six of spades. West is forced to make three discards, there I fore discards the three of spades
 and the jack and ten of hearts. De-
 clarer now leads small heart from
 the dummy. finessing the nine spot.
 which West wins with the queen.
 Regardless of what West leads, the declarer is now assured of six no l trump.
 The most interesting play came
 up at the table where the queen of
 hearts was opened. Declarer was
 forced to win with the ace and then
 take five rounds of diamonds. East,

 from dummy, which East refused
 to cover. declarer winning with the ace. West following with the jack.
 Declarer's next lead was the king of
 spades, West dropped the ten of
 hearts. Declarer then put West in
 the lead with the nine of hearts and forced him to lead clubs. The queen of hearts opening IS l the only lead that will defeat the | hand, but East must discard the

 "No life, no vision. no sympathy with what lives and breathes, no understanding of anything. that is not in books-this is the condemna- tion which we pronounce upon the builders of the new Yale" says the student critic. Immense sums of money and surpassing opportunities have been given them. and the fu- ture of art at Yale placed in their custody. They have defrauded the trust, they have deceived the gen.

Another interesting hand from the Championship Tournament of the State of Pennsylvania is given below. Either of the two fourth best openings that West has to make will not defeat the con- tract. The only lead that will de- feat the contract is the opening of the three card suit, and the hand must be played very carefully even then.

CRIME COSTS OVER
BILLION YEARLY
Wickersham Reports Gives

Wasteful Justice Machinery
Found In Many of the
Larger Cities

Washington, Aug % - Crime
costs the American people far more
than $1,207, 656,s21 a year, the
Wickersham commission disclosed
today in its report entitled "the
cost of crime"
How much more, the commission
declined to say. It found the rami-
1cations Of secret illegal industries
too vast and its own funds too
short. 1t refused even to fix def
mite minimum figure but it cited
many items in the crime ledger,
which, added together brought the
total well over the billion mark.
Some items were roughly esti-
mated, some were frank guesses,
while others-like the reports from
racketeering-were left with a per-
picking question mark in the Ia
bles Of costs.
A further investigation was re-
commended to determine the facts.
The commission did convince it.
self definitely of many things, the
most important of which were:
The federal government is spend
ing $52,786,000 a year to admins.
ter justice to criminals.
Three hundred cities are spend
ing $247, 100000.
Sixty-six per cent Of the federal
expenditure goes for prohibition en-
forcement.
Some unnamed cities have waste
full and inefficient criminal justice
machinery.
An immediate investigation ought
to be made into racketeering-
which Is called Americas most cost
ly modern crime.
An investigation should be made
to determine which cities are waste
full.
With all its great expense, GRIM
inal justice machinery does not care
too much. -.
A wedding out Of laws-eliminat-
ing unnecessary social restrictions
might well be undertaken as a
measure of economy.
Although the word prohibition is
not directly mentioned in that con-
nection, the commission incorporat-
ed in its report the report of its
leading investigator, Sidney P.
Simpson, Of the New York bar, who
said:
"a part of the money now re-
quired to be expended in the ad-
ministration Of criminal justice is
spent in the enforcement Of statutes
applying to conduct with which II
is matter Of debate wheather the
people and the criminal courts are
intrinsically fitted to deal, and
which must, in some cases, at
fleast, be regarded as outside the
limits of effective legal action by
means of the criminal law.
"A thorough overhauling Of our
criminal codes with a view to ap-
praising the social advantage of
such statutes and comparing that
advantage, If any, with the cost Of
their administration would appear
highly desirable from an economic
standpoint"
"It is clear, we think, that the
cost of enforcing the criminal law
would be less If it did not attempt
to forbid and punish acts participant
ed in by large numbers Of otherwise
law abiding citizens who do not re-
gard such prohibited acts as Grim
inar except in a technical sense"

A. Wildes, superintendent of mines
unders State Auditor Stafford
King who has served for many
years in that department is under
discussion as possible director of

In choosing Mr.. Cox, the COM
mission rejected three other can
didates for the post-Professor
Parker o. Anderson, University OF
Minnesota forestry expert, indors-
ed by the American Legion; John
Levin, st. Paul attorney and chief
clerk of the state house Of repre-
sentatives, and former State Sen
ator Fred Bessette Of Orr, MINI.
The new commissioner has
spent more than Is years in ad-
! ministration of natural resources.
He began his service with the
state in 1911, following five years
of work in the national forestry
until 1924 when he was discharged
as the result of a row with former
Governor J. A. o. Preus. A that
time he was declared to have incur
red the wrath of the governor for
refusing to allow politics to enter
into his policies regarding state
timber conservation.
Following his discharge, he was
made superintendent of the Upper
Mississippi federal game refuge
| extending from Rock Island, ILL.,,
to Lake Pepin in Minnesota, and
resigned his post to become ma
tional forester for BRAZIL. He con-
tinued in this position for two
years, but was forced to abandon
his program because of the revolu-
ton and lack of finances. He re-
turned to Minnesota several
months ago. A.
Mr.. Cox has won recognition in
both state and federal conserva-
ton activities, and for time was
assistant national forestry chief
under Clifford Pinchot, now Cover
nor of Pennsylvania. ...
Early closing of the duck season
in Minnesota was refused Thurs
day by the board. ...
The board was importuned to
close the duck season earlier than
usual because of threatened de-
pletion of ducks. It is pointed out
by Sam Anderson, Hutchinson
president of the Minnesota Game
Protective association, and Judson
Weeks, Minneapolis, president Of
the Minnesota LEAK Walton lea
que, that closing of the season
here would act merely to give the
southern states greater advan-
tage during the hunting season.
Similar closing had been asked
for prairie chickens but the board
decided not to act.
