Once n a great while it is possible to find a hand that combines the good
points both OF bidding and of play. Many hands are examples of good bidding
or of good play but seldom of both, O that the following hand can be regarded

US. SECURITIES FIND NO LACK OF
 EAGER BUYERS

New York, Dec 1S.-CUP)-- Confidence of small investors in the soundness of United States govern ment securities has forced agen- cies distributing treasury notes and certificates of indebtedness to ration allotments to eager buyers.
 The latest issue amounting to $1,300, 100000 the largest of its type since the World War, was is- sued just short time ago and was as promptly over-subscribed.
 In the case of the six months certificates, bankers stated, they were themselves disappointed and in turn had to disappoint their GUS toners since no cash subscriptions to this portion of the offerings were allotted. Those who rendered maturing treasury obligations, on the other hand, received the full amount of their subscriptions, 1t was announced.
 Those who subscribed for the nine months certificates of indebt- edness, fared the best. The allot- ments for this issue, after deduc- tion of full amounts for exchange of maturing obligations, left near ly $225, ,000.000 to be distributed among subscriptions totalipg just under $275, 5,000.000, the bankers pointed out.
 Investors who subscribed cash for the one-year treasury notes found themselves with allotments of about $162.00O, ,000 to be shared among subscriptions amounting to nearly $212,000,00O.

PROPOSE DROP IN
 TARIFFS
Democrats Plan World Conference to Scale Down All Tariffs Simul- taneOusly-Baker Sug- gested Plan Originally
BY RAYMOND CLAPPER

Washington, Dec 1S-UP)- Democrats may propose soon Q world tariff conference to consider sealing down all nations tariffs simultaneously. This plan discussed by members of the party's congress- ional committee. has won favor.
 Sentiment with the rarty Is domi- nantly against an attmept at gem eral revision of the Hawley-Smoot act this year. Some individual mod ifications may be suggested.
 But the chances are that the par tvs general policy for the time being will rest on some general proposal for a world conference. at which nations would attempt to de- wise formula by which each would scale down in a way not to disturb their present relative positions.
 The theory is that if this were done. every nation still would have the same relative degree of tariff protection as now.
 Though a majority of democrats oppose the Hawley-Smoot act as too high. powerful reasons deter them from general assault to overturn 1t now
 First, democrats are internally divided. Some of them are high protectionists for articles produced in their states. Massa chusetts dem ocrats want high protection for shoes, Arizona democrats want 1t for copper, Louisiana democrats want 1t for sugar. Some western want 1t for wool. Florida

LAMONT RELATES OF MILLIONS IN
 FOREIGN LOANS
Witness Before Senate Fi- nance Committee Un- folds Data in Which Figures Go Up Into Billions

Washington, December IS - (UP) - The story of billions loaned to foreign nations and their citizens in the postwar fi- nancial operations of American bankers. was told today by Thomas w. Lamont of J. F. Morgan and Company, testifying before the sem ate finance committee.
 In two hours of testimony he had merely started with the dis cussion of the loans of the house of Morgan but had revealed that his company negotiated loans for nine countries which aggregated $1,3S0,598.000.. It cost those coun- tries an estimated sum of $57,594,- $50 to float the loans.
 Lamont read the account of Morgan financing from an alpha betlcal list of countries and had passed q total of more than a bll- lion dollars loaned when he had reached the letter IF" in the al- phabet.
 In addition to telling of loans. Laraont opined:
 That. losses which have been suffered through depreciation Of the value of bonds issued under vestors rather than the banks"
 That France made n good bar gain when it negotiated its war debt settlement with the United States.
 That banking firms which make 1t practice of acting as trustee for sinking funds in floating for eign loans can make handsome

Wall Street Figures to Be Asked to Give AccOunt- ing - Suspicion Is Bankers Profited By Commissions
By PAUL R. MALLON

Washington, Dec 18.-(UP)- Two dominating Wall street figures were called before the senate finance committee to-day for an accounting of their international loans.
 Thomas W. Lamont, power be- hind the throne in J. P. Morgan and Co, and Charles E. Mitchell, militant head of the National City Bank, were first witnesses at the into the vast European transac- tions of international bankers.
 Twenty-two senators were on the committee for the greatest sen atorial investigation since Teapot Dome. Twenty-Five of the nations s largest banking and security houses are in the list of prospective witnesses.
 On the sidelinese, Senator John- son, republican. California, out lined the motive which led him to introduce the investigation res olution.
 1T want to find out how much these bankers hold of the upwards of 7,000,000,00O which has been loaned to Europe" he told the United Press.
 "I want to know how great their interest is at this time. want to find how much they allocated to small banks and private investors. I want to know how much they made out of the deal. I want to know which of them are fiscal agents for Great Britain. France. Italy and the other nations.
 "The public is entitled to have this information during the consid- eration of the foreign debt policies of the administration.
 Behind Johnson's move was the suspicion that the banks have col- lected commissions out of their in- deals and then passed the loans on to small banks. The sad economic condition of the world and the overthrow of many have beat down the prices of these bonds, leaving the small banks holding an empty

Lightner's Bidding Sinks
 Sidney Lenz And yacoby

Ms Culbertson's presence in the press room made 1t very difficult for the newspapermen, phoning fin results, to say such things as "The Culbertsons are bidding like fools" Or "Ely Is acting like dog in the manger."
 Lightner was every bit as spec tacular as Jacoby. Jacoby has startled spectators by his dramatic bidding. Actually he even startled his own partner tonight.
 Isenx got so exasperated with Jacoby's bidding, when ozzie delib- erately pushed up six no-trump bid of Lenz' to q seven heart bid, and went sunk one trick, that he called for q conference between the pitchers box and home plate

Mrs Diamond, Mrs Laura Wood. and the latter's sister, Miss Ethel Smith, and a taxi cab driver, John Storey, who, police said, drove Dia- mond to the rooming house, were also held by police for questioning.
 Investigators expressed the opin- ion that the three bullets, one of which tore through his temple and the other two through the side of his face. were fired at close range. Powder burns were In evidence. They said 1t was possible Diamond was held by one person while an- other shot him.
 Mrs Diamond, when questioned at precinct station, shouted, ac- cording to police:
 "I didn't do it, didn't do it."
 Police searched for several per- sons whom they believed might have been with Diamond at the victory party" after his acquittal.
 Three times before, gangsters had attempted to erase Diamond. This, the fourth time, was pre- emeninently successful.
 Dr Thomas M. Holmes received @ hurry up call early to-day. He had attended Diamond for his last wounds. He raced to the Dove street address given him by the mysterious telephone caller,
