.SCHLE|CHER NAMED
REICH CHANCELLOR
mystery Man" Picked by
Won Hindenburg to Form
PreSidiaI Cabinet.

By the Associated Press.
BERLIN, December 2-President Won
Hindenburg today asked Gen. Kurt Won
Schleicher, mystery man" in German
politics and at present the defense min
lister, to form presidial cabinet for the
republic
Gen. Won Schleicher has been re-
garded as the almost certain choice for
the chancellorship ever since Chancellor
Franz Won Papen's junker government
stepped out after last months election.
The general was summoned to the
Presidents study this morning, and
after conference there walked out
with mandate to form government.
If successful, he was commissioned to
occupy the chancellorShip himself, in
stead of the defense ministry he held
during Won Papen's tenure Of govern
ment by degree.
In the Won Papen cabinet, however,
Cen Won Schleicher was looked upon
the power behind the government in his
key" ministry.
May End Deadlock.
The choice of the army leader for
the difficult task of the domestic crisis
with Winter approaching came after
several weeks of effort on the part of
the veteran President to solve well
nigh impossible deadlock.
The November election demonstrat-
ed clearly that Chancellor Won Papen
did not have popular backing after he
had twice dissolved the Reichstag to
avoid being unseated.
The President then took the party
leaders in turn, finally giving Adolf Hit
Ter, militant Fascist leader, commission
to form a parliamentary government.
The Reichstag was hopelessly deadlock
ed. no party there having majority,
although Hitler's National Socialists
were the most powerful single party
with nearly 35 per cent Of the seats
at their command
Hitler requested the privilege OF
forming government responsible prl-
marily to the President-a presldlal or
authoritarian cabinet-but Won Hin
denburg said he did not trust the NaN
enough for that.
So the choice returned again to the
Rightist junker group mostly from East
Prussia, many of them army men IN
the DAYS when Won Hindenburg was
the Kaiser's field marshal.
Suggested by Won Papen.
Then the two most prominent in the
conferences became Won Schleicher and
Won Papen. Finally the choice fell to
the mysterious Won Schleicher, the
man whose thoughts few have been
able to fathom.
Won Schleicher, it was known, how
ever, has had ambitions to become
chancellor. He confided them more
than a year ago to Gen. Wilhelm
Groener former Prussian war minister.
Nevertheless, in all the recent diff
culties, Gen. Won Schleicher had de-
clined all suggestions that he head a
cabinet.
The nomination of Won Schleicher
came at the request of Chancellor Won

in which case it generally pays for
partner to select one of the two suits
for the game-going contract. A two
suit hand is usually not adapted to
no trump play.
However, when the bidding gets up
into the slam zone, two-suit hands
usually facilitate the play for slam no

fact that both hands are strong in
high card tricks and these suits are
usually solid.

Secretary, American Bridge League
The only time that partner may
pass an original suit bid of one is
when holding less than the strength
outlined in yesterdays articles as be-
ing required for a denial bid of one
no trump. Therefore it must at all
times be assumed when partner re-
spends to an original bid with one
no trump, that his hand is very weak,
and the bid must be treated as
sign-off bid.
There are times, however, that
partner may hold IL to two high
card tricks, no biddable suit and not
normal support in the original bid
der's suit, and therefore the only re-
Spouse that can be made is one no
trump. This strength may be shown
on the second round of bidding, how
ever.
Replying to an original suit bid of
one with bid of two no trump is
one of the most important bids in the
one over one system.
In the previous articles I have ex-
planned to you that an original bid of
one no trump showed a very fine
hand, but hand that should be led
up to rather than through. I also
explained that an original suit bid of
one showed a hand that, while hold
ing considerable strength, was not
flexible enough to become the declarer
at no trump unless later bidding
might fill in the side suits.

1t is most important at contract
bridge to have the correct hand play
the hand at no trumps. Therefore,
when holding a hand containing 21a
to three high-card tricks, with tenacc
positions in at least two of the side
suits, and one honor in the original
bidders suit, partners best response
is usually two no trump.
This is a forcing bid and in no way
denies support for the original bid
der's suit. We find at times that
response of two no trump must be
made without an honor in the orig
inal bidders suit; but it should not
be made without at least two small
cards in that suit, and the hand

should have extra compensating side
strength.
All of the other three suits should
be well stopped. AS matter of fact
it should be in these side suits that
partner is planning to win the tricks
at no trump.
After response of two no trump
by partner, the original bidder is now
is a position either to re-bid his suit,
which thereby shows length in that
suit and no desire to play the hand
at no trump, or he may surrender his
suit and may carry the contract to

Piedmont Emblem Story
Anticipating that newcomers
will not understand the Piedmont
Hunt emblem, the story Of that
unusual mark is given.
On the gold buttons Of the pink
hunt coats worn by members OF
the Piedmont Fox Hounds, Inc, is
q fox head under which are two
crossed brushes, or fox tails. The
natural question is "Why the two
fox taiIS?'
The story goes that when the
hunt was established, many years
ago, one of the huntsmen, after
partaking of a wee drop too
much, mounted and Joined the
hunt scheduled for the day. 1t
was a bright, sunny morning, but
the wee drop too much somewhat
magnified the vision of our hero.
Away went the pack, followed
by members Of the hunt. Up to
the front crowded our hero, he
being well mounted as well as
well warmed by the warming
liquid.
Sights Fox at Fence
Our hero sighted the fox Just
as the latter was scooting under
q snake fence. He yelled to the
rest of the hunt, notifying them
of his discovery, following it with
the remark:
"'Tis an odd fox, indeed, for
I'm damned If 1t didn't have
two brushes"
The spirit of the old hunt has
been retained throughout Penn
Sylvania, Maryland and Virginia,
but nowhere is it more demo
cratic, more enthusiastic than in
Loudoun county. On the occa-
sion Of the fall race meet mem
berS Of the Piedmont Hunt make
every effort to assure success for
the event, and this year is no
exception. The sporting blood of
the people Of the countryside is
aroused, and the friendly farmer
and his family folks are vel
coined with open arms to share
the Joy Of the day with the folks
who follow the hounds.
