Presentation of Father
Keith Captiuates Capital

An audience that filled the
great church of st. AloySius at
North Capitol and Eye streets
last night sat for two hours and
fifteen. minutes under the spell
of THE Sacred Story Of the
Mass" presented by the Rev.
George A. Keith, S.J.
Senators, representatives and
diplomats, many of them non
Catholics, made up a large part
Of the assembly. The stalwart
figure of Senator David l. Walsh
was noted in one of the forward
pews.
It was the fourth time that
Father Keith presented his pic
ture drama in st. Aloysius church
and for the fourth time this
unique presentation of THE
Sweetest Love Story" which has
acquired international fame, fill
ed the church.
All in COlOrS
The presentation is an all-color
perturbation of the mass in COM
bination with the verbal interpre-
tation of the priest. For 80 years
he has gathered the material, pic.
lures, and story.
Once the lights fade in the
church and the colored pictures
appear on the screen and his
remarkable voice rolls over the
audience, the usual scraping of
feet, coughing, whispering, and
nervous movements of an audi
ence are lacking. At the end,
the audience departs in thought
full silence.
Story and History of Mass
"The Sacred Love Story of the
Mass" describes in pictures and
oratory the mass, what it stands
for, it's beginning and develop
ment, the prayers, the vestments,
carried from the ancient origin
down to modern times. from the
days of Abraham and the early
theories of sacrifice, through the
way of the cross on Calvary. the
true significance of the great
cathedralS up to the celebration
OF mass in the trenches under
fire, all illustrated.
Tomorrow Father Keith gives

ADJOURNMENT

IN DOUBT
Tentative Agreement to End
Controversies Before Party
Conventions Is Sought

In the face of turbulent bat.
ties over the new tax bill and
President Hoover's propose
for American adherence tt
the League of Nations
World" court, Administra
ton leaders today began ne.
gotiating a tentative agree,
ment for adjournment of Con,
gress June l.
Their hope for success in ad
journing before the national con.
Ventions meet in June rested ir
enactment Of 10 major appropria,
ton measures and the new tax bill
since all others could be aban
doned until after the election.
Long Fight Seen
The Administrations inSiStence
upon disposition of the court issue
at the present session may disrupt
their plans.
The court fight will be pro
tracted. Thus far it has split the
ranks of court adherents, with the
irreconcilable opposition literally
sitting on the side lines as specta-
tors,
The row developed when some
Democratic adherentS of the court
broke with others over interpreta.
tion of the Root formula for
American adherence.
Basis of Row"
Some said it changed the terms
upon which America first decided
TO enter the court; others saw no
distinction.
Gradually, opinion has solidi-
lied that Elihu Root, former Re
publican Secretary of State, dis
carded the old fifth reservation IN
negotiating his formula for Amer,
lean entry to the court.
This aroused those court ad-
VocateS who voted in 1926 for
adherence solely because they
felt the fifth reservation pro-
tected American interests against
the courts political decisions.
Weeks of Debate FOreseen
Now this group insists the old
reservation be written boldly and
plainly into any new resolution
of ratification.
Under such circumstances, with
pro-court Senators battling be-
tween themselves, it would re-
quire weeks of debate to get a
decision in the Senate.

The last session of the year at the

Contract Bridge

This is a One Over One force.
If North had opened with very
weak bid, he has the right to pass
this One Over One force-in other
words, player having originally
passed, as South did, practically
loses his right to force.
However, hearts were the only bid
that North could not play, and as
his hand had strength in every suit,
he now was correct in making a
bid of one no trump, which is a
sign-off bid, showing that he did
not care to proceed further with
the hand unless South showed adj
ditional encouragement.
South now showed his second suit
with a bid of two diamonds lit
tie dangerous, but two five carders
certainly may aid to build up no
trump.
With the showing Of South's sec
ond suit, North jumped to three no
trump.
East opened the only suit not bid
spade-which West won with the
ace. West returned the three of
spades, his fourth best, which was
won by North with the jack, a heart
being discarded from dummy.
The queen of diamonds was led;
East won with the ace, and next
led the jack of hearts. West played
the encouraging nine and North
won with the ace.
North played the king of clubs,
which East won with the ace. East
played the ten of hearts, dummy
winning with the king. North dis
carding a club.
An interesting squeeze play now
developed. A small diamond was
returned from dummy. West discard
ng a club and declarer winning with
the nine.
Declarer cashed his queen of
spades, discarding a heart from
dummy. He then played a small
diamond, winning in dummy with
the king, West discarding spade.
Declarer then led the two dia-
monds from dummy and West was
squeezed. He could discard his
queen Of hearts on the first diamond.
but on the second diamond he must
drop either spade or a club.
II a spade is dropped, declarer's
seven is good. while if a club is
played, both declarer's clubs will be
good. In this manner North and
South made four odd at no trump.

U. S. BUILDING
BONDS PLAN IS
BEING STUDIED
Unofficial Democrat Group
to Probe RooSeveIt'S
Finance Proposal.

By scripps-Hotcard Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.-A re-
quest for the formation of an un-
official democratic committee to
study the plan of paying federal
capital expenses out of a long term
bond issue will be made of Senator
Joseph T. Robinson of Arkansas by
Senator Kenneth Mcclellan Dem,
Temp.
The plan has the Endorsement of
President Elect Franklin D. Roose-
welt, and of Senator Robinson, the
Democratic leader, who said he
favored some such scheme Of hand
ling capital expenditures when he
returned from his Warm Springs
conference with Mr.. Roosevelt. Sen
ator James F. Byrnes Dem., S. CO
unofficial co-leader with Robinson,
has introduced bill to bring about
the same result.
All apparently take the position
that it is not good business prac-
tice to charge capital investment
against operating expenses, and
that operating economies can be at
tanned by floating long-term bonds
to pay for public buildings.
Mcclellan wants the unofficial
committee to study the plan because
he is not sure how large the bond
issue should be, or how large operat-
ing economies can be effects, or
what projects should be designated
as coming within the scope of
capital investments.
Of-hand, he believes that public
buildings, river and harbor work,
flood control, reclamation, public
park, and federal-aid roads should
be included.
Out of these he estimates roughly
as much as $3OO,0OO,OOO in annual
operating costs might be saved.
A proposal similar to McKellar's
was made in the last session of
congress by an administration stall
wart, Senator Arthur H. Vanden-
burg (Rep., Mich). He drew a bill
and introduced it during the
economy fight of that session and
senator Royal Copeland Dem., N.
W, supported a similar plan.

GRAIN FUTURES

Profit Taking 0vercomes

BY HAROLD f. RAINVILLE
United Press stan Correspondent

CHICAGO, Dec. 31.-The double
holiday ahead curbed the favorable
sentiment on the Board Of Trade
today and wheat made only a
modest response to the strength in
Liverpool and Winnipeg markets.
There was some evening-up and
pI Jfit-taking.
Trading was not very active and
the range was narrow although
prices were up as much as 5s cents
at one time. Corn partook of the
strength in wheat but held in a
very CONSTRUCTED area. Reports of
locusts in Buenos Aires had little
effect. Oats and rye followed the
other grains.
Wheat broke sharply at the last
on liquidation of December, that
month closing % to 7s cent lower
with the other deliveries % to Z
cent lower. Corn was Il to q cent
lower with wheat. Oats was un-
changed to "a cent higher. Rye
was "a cent lower to Il cent higher,
and barley "a cent higher. Provi-
sions were firm.
Cash prices were l to IL cents
higher on wheat, unchanged to u
cent higher on corn and 4 to y
cent higher on oats. Receipts were
2 cars of wheat, SO of corn and 18
of oats.

Another problem in the One Over
One system is the showing of two
suits.
While the showing Of a second
suit is not claSsed among the abso-
lutte forcing bids, I am very frank
to admit that most of the better
players seldom pass when partner
has shown a second suit.
An interesting hand that came up
in the recent national champion
ship tournament demonstrates this
particular point.
The Bidding
South and West passed. North's
hand was not particularly strong,
but it was one that can not be
passed third hand; therefore, he
opened with a bid of one club.
East passed. South bid one heart.
