WILL CURE FOUR
 YEAR HEADACHE

Boston, Aug 30-(UP)-Generai Hugh S. Johnson, national recovery administrator. today assailed "mis- informed talk that the MIRA "ts the goosestep and Is putting busi- ness in a strait jacket"
 ''It is nothing 6f the kind. he told an all-New England meeting of MIRA campaign workers in an address at a luncheon at Hotel Statler.
 In sparkling address which drew many a chuckle from his au- dience, Jehn pictured certain econ- omic pai llels between pre-revolu- ton days anG recent years.
 "A new economic order rules the world" said he, "but the basic principles are the same. There is no more sense starving in land of plenty now than there was in 1776."
 Racing the causes of the depres- sion, he said agriculture was fiat on its back and industry was par alyzed because we were lending busted foreign countries money to buy our goods. giving away goods and money as fast as our ships could carry them across"

 In setting of bursting bombs, the nations capital. led by Admin istrator Hugh $. Johnson, set an example for the drives of local committees throughout the coun- try with a recovery pageant last night.
 Johnson declared in an address to massed thousands that the re- covery program was working. that reemployment to date meant $1,- 500,00O,000 a year more for trade. to be spent many times over.
 And yet this effort has just started" he said. "The people, without any indictment from any body will know how to visit the proper punishment upon the. fell low who tries to stand in the way"
 Donald Richbcrg, MIRA counsel. declared business men had as much to gain from organization of labor as had the workers.
 "The whole scheme of self-in- dustry in government would fall to the ground without labor partici- pation," he said.

Secretary of League Says
More Would Bring
"Cambler's Cane.'
Ey the Associated Press.

Ey the Associated Press.
CINCINNATI, December A cold
shoulder was turned today to the sug-
geStion of Ely Culbertson that wild
ow' would make contract bridge more
interesting
At the scene of the national tourna-
ment of the American Bridge League,
which opened today. Culbertson's idea
was described as most absurd" by
p. Hal Sims. and w. E. McKenney,
secretary of the league. said the ele-
ment of luck introduced would diSplace
skill and make bridge a gambler
game like poker and horse racing"
CulbertSon believes a widow would
add a zest Of uncertainty to the game
and promote more skillful play by the
declarer. He suggested last week that
each player be dealth II cards and that
the widow contain four. the winner of
the auction selecting one card from the
widow and giving one to each of the
other players.
The Week-lOng tournament was begun
with the national open auction pair
championship. the only event involving
auction. A crowd of experts and en-
thusiasts expected to reach 500 gath
cred for the play.
The other events. all contract, are
the mixed team flour, the team-of-
four for women only, an open pair and
a mixed pair, which will be run off in
eliminations.
