POLITICS a Rauaom.
By BYRON PRICE Chief of Bureau, The Associated Press, Washington

Is the proud and frankly expres- sive old name campaign manager about to disappear from national politics, following into oblivion such cld-faShioned trimmings as the scurrilous hanbill and the torch light parade? 8~
 Among the outstanding aspirants for the Presidency today, not one in either party has followed the well-estabhshed practice, and put his fortunes fully into the hands of trusted friend clothed with managerial majesty and title.
 This all appears to be part of a new finesse in the operations of practical politics. The advent of the managerless era coincides with Ia period when far more than the usual percentage among the candi- dates themselves incline to the shrinking violet method of ap- proach to greatness.
 A certain amount of stage setting always is to be expected in poli- tics. A survey probably would dis close that only small part of the apparent unemployment among campaign managers is actual, and that most of them are working as usual under new disguises.

SCHOOL BUSES.
FACENEN TEST

To insure safety for all Mont
gomery county school children,
Frank B. Proctor, supervisor Of
school property Of the county, has
ordered that all Of the school
busses be inspected every two
weeks, with a member Of the
Board Of Education from the sec
ton of the county in which the
particular school is located being
present at the inspection.
Mr.. Proctor believes a regular
inspection will prove more bene-
ficial than what he terms the
haphazard way in which the
buSses are now kept in repair.
Since the school board meets but
once a month";. he thinks the board
members can keep in active touch
by attending the biweekly in.
spections.
He plans also to have a general
inspection Of all the busses at one
time, with the whole board pres
ent, as well as the insurance in
spector. The larger schools will
also be inspected once a month,

Beginners at Bridge Find
Times Lessons a Boon
MRS. MILLER

The free contract bridge les
sons, for which The washington
Times has arranged, have proved
to be of great interest to begin
ners of the game and the next
one, which is to be given at the
Willard Hotel next Tuesday eve
ming at 8 o'clock promises to be
exceptionally well attended.
The main reason for the extra
attendance is the fact that the
hour was selected in order that
bridge fans in Government
bureaus could reap the benefit
of having one of the outstanding
teachers and bridge players of
this city teach the rudiments for
successful bidding.
Trained by CuIbertsOn
Lucille Claire Smith, who will
instruct the gathering, is not only
a splendid player but is excep-
tionally well qualified to teach
the principles of correct and
successful bidding due to her
training under the master, Ely
Culbertson and her experience in
tourney play against such artists
as Hal Sims and his partners.
The series of free contract
lessons is given by The Times
in conjunction with the distribu-
ton of new and novel device
which is of benefit to the be-
ginner of bridge in learning
correct bidding.
This device, known as the
Shur-Win Bridge Bidder, is very
easily mastered, and at all times

STOCKHOLM, Nov. 1, (P)-Steps to prevent another financial night mare, such as Ivar Kreuger forced upon his country, are included in the program of SWeden's new cab inet.
 There is no direct reference to Kreuger in the explanation of it's aims by the social democrat party. The inference has been found, however, in this paragraph:
 '"The government is to take up in earnest the question of combin- ing suitable state control of pri- vate dealings with regulation of the economic assets of the coun- try"
 Leaders of the social democrats are aware that their success at the last election was due, to a consid- erable extent, to the crumbling of the Kreuger idol. Thousands of middle class votes went to the par ty as reaction from the Kreuger explorations.
