survived. He said he was flung into
the air and pitched onto the deck.

Washington, March 24.-R-That
political oldster-the equalization fee
was back on the doorstep Of con-
gress Tuesday along with power, un-
employment relief measures and de-
mands for a special session.
In the trial of the farm boards
announcement that 1t would not at
tempt to stabilize the 1881 wheat
crop came renewed calls for enact
ment Of the equalization fee. At the
same time a special committee in
augurated a campaign for an extra
session and representative Laguardia,
Republican. New York, presented a
program he said must be accepted by
the party which wants control Of the
next closely divided house.
Put Forward Quickly
Hardly had the farm board decided
not to buy 1881 wheat than two Oft
advocated farm relief plans embody-
ing the equalization fee and the ex-
port debenture were polished up and
put forward as solutions.
Two Republican leaders in the SEN
ate, Watson Of Indiana and McNary
o. Oregon, proposed anew the equali-
zation fee. McNary was co-author Of
the fee bill vetoed by President Cool
ioge.
An export debenture proponent,
Senator Borah, Republican, Idaho,
chairman of the farm relief commit
tee named by the recent progressives'
conference. promised agitation for
both plans. Chester H. Gray, legis-
lative representative Of the American
farm bureau federation, endorsed the
equalization fee.
Meanwhile, traders and growers
alike watched to see how and when
the board would dispose of the $780,

MAURICE HINDUS
 FORUM SPEAKER Defended Soviet Russia Against the Criticism
 Aimed at It THE RELIGIOUS ISSUE

Changes which the Russian revo- lution has brought in the economic, religious and social life of the coun- try were described by Maurice Him dus, Russian born journalist and author of books on Russia, at the forum of the Second Congregational church last night. ''The Russian revolutoin would have collapsed long ago had it not been for the help of the American machine" he said. The speaker pointed out Russia will be the leading agricultural country of the world withi ntwo or three years. He said that American agriculture will be hard hit but American indus try will benefit tremendously be- cause the more Russia sells the more she will have to buy in order to rebuild herself.
 The present hatred of the Rus sians of religion is due in large part to the viciousness and ho1ribleness of the old Russian church which preyed upon the people. The nation al government, the speaker said, is not interested in closing the church. es against the will of the people and does not interfere with worship, but the masses of Russians have stopepd going to church and are leaving the churches to rot and decay. He ex- plained the Russian masses never were religious. He closed his ad- dress with q touch on the easy marriage laws in Russia and the peasants reaction to the new gov ernment.

hand happens to be the nine spot, East will have the spade suit stopped the second time.
 South starts his heart suit by leading the queen, West follows with the ten, rummy the deuce and East wins the trick with the king. By applying the rule of eleven. East can now make the following deduc- lions. His partner held no suit long CT than four cards-otherwise the deuce would not have been opened. The ten Of hearts played by West on the second trick also informs him that his partner holds a singleton heart, because if the declarer held only the queen of hearts and not the queen and jack, the queen would not have been led. That leaves West now with four diamonds and four clubs. East holds five clubs to the king, there are thre in the dummy. his deductions have told him that his partner has four. If his partner held four clubs to the ace-10 or the ace jack, the club suit would have been opened in preference to the spade. therefore East must not re- turn the spade suit, but leads the five of clubs. which forces the sin gleton ace from the declarer
 Declarer now leads a small heart to the rummy's ace, West discarding the six of spades. The eight of hearts is returned from dummy. East playing the six, declarer allows it to win, playing the seven, West discar d ignneethetaonishrdl ?-?- discarding the ten of clubs. His next heart led from dummy is won by the declarer with the jack. West discards the jack of spades. All the declarer can now do it to cash his three good diamond tricks, and he must surrender the last four tricks to his opponents, and his contract has been defeated one trick.
