Court Decided That His Offense Was Not Crinl- inal Under the Greek Laws It Was Civil Matter, Not Criminal
INSULL GIVEN HIS FREEDOM

Athens, Dec 27-(UPt The Greek court decided to- day against the extradition of Samuel Insull, utilities mag nate, to the United States. Under the courts decision, In- sull could remain safely in Greece, or might leave the country for some other terri- tory where no extraditiOn treaty is in effect. Insull was wanted in Chicago, to answer charges of embezzlement in connection with the financial affairs of his great midwest- ern public utilities empire. '
 Immediately after the courts decision, Insull was released from custody. He had been detained in nominal ar rest pending the outcome of the American request for his extradition. The court ruled that the acts for which InsulI was indicted were not crim- inal under Greek laws, be- cause Insull did not benefit personally from them, but obtained benefits for the c0m- panies he represented. The entire question is a civil mat ter, not criminal, the court held.

EXPERTS CRITICIZE
NEW BRIDGE RULES
Rash of Grand Slam Bidding
Will Lose Many Rubbers,
CuIbertson Predicts.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK. November Contract
experts said they had many misgivings
as the new code of rules went into eff
feet today
Several stressed the lack Of simplicity
in scoring no trump tricks below the
line and doubled under-tricks.
Criticizing in particular the varying
count Of no trump tricks over book, 80
for the odd-numbered tricks and 40
for the even numbered, Willard S. karn
suggested that suit valuations be re-
vised forthwith to 80 for no trump. 25
for majors and 20 for minors, with a
count of 80 for game.
Ely Culbertson warned that no card
game with complicated count could
endure
p Hal Sims said it was a great mis-
take to change calculations while the
number of devotees of the game was
still rapidly increasing. He expressed
fear that many players would adhere
to the scoring methods they knew.
So far as his personal play is con-
cerned. Sims is delighted. He believes
his requirements for stronger hands to
open the bidding in first and second
positions than in third and fourth will
enable him to penalize opponents more
lHdn ever. lie lHlIkS more attention
will be paid to his method of bidding
slams.
Among the few bridge masters de-
Tending the increased bonus for grand
slams were Sheppard Barclay and
Gratz NJ Scott
The bonus found little favor with
most tournament players. Culbertson
predicted a malignant rash of grand
slam bidding by players in general with
the result that they would lose many
a rubber they could win by confining
themselves to little slams. He predict
ed that the grand slam bonus would
be barred from tournament play.
