Army Leaders Ask
Increase in Troops

Washington, Nov. 27.-P)-Presi-
cent Roosevelt. whose budget bureau
already has approved an increase in
naval and marine forces, will be re-
quested to ask congress for funds to
raise Americas army strength from
below the danger line"
1t is at that point now, says the
armys highest ranking officer Gen.
eral Douglas Macarthur, in an annual
report to the secretary Of war which
will be transmitted to the president.
Macarthur found that although
the United States is 18th in world
strength that alone is no cause for
particular worry since Americas S
needs are different. But in recon-
mending an increase in regular army
enlisted strength from 10000 to 1885,
900; expenditure of around 5000, 900 600
en- aircraft, modernization and motor
ization of artillery and similar pro-
jects. and restoration Of other funds
eliminated in recent years. Mac
Arthur added:
In the obvious state of unrest now
prevailing throughout the world !.
en- efficient and dependable military
establishment constitutes a
rock of stability. it is my
conviction that at this moment
the army's strength in personnel and
material and its readiness for en-
ployment are below the danger line. ;

OUTLOOK FOR WHEAT
DECLARED POOR AS'
EXPERTS ASSEMBLE
World Situation Is Being Re-
viewed At Meeting Of
Powers in London

London. Nov. 27.-(R)-A gloomy
outlook for wheat still prevails the
world international fheat commission
found when it met Monday to review
the developments of the last two
months.
The Is delegates agreed that Rus
sian exports have not been depress-
ing factor although the Soviet still re-
fuses to accept the quota offered by
the big four-the United States, Can
Ida, Argentina, and Australia.
Abraham Gourevitch, the Russian
delegate. said:
I'VE actually are keeping within the
quota offered US because prices are SO
poor
Replies to questionnaires sent to %
governments for information on their
acreage. exports and marketing con-
GjtiOnS were studied thoroughly Mon
dayl.
Improved conditions in Argentina
were regarded as a factor making the
problem more difficult, but the Ar
gentine representative said official
IA Co OVAL WCl Z AlOt dtdlldUlC.
Russia was expected to be less OBJ
durate toward the effort to bring her
into the gentlemen's agreement for
the international control of wheat ex-
lorts than she was two months ago
when the agreement for the year
l933-193 was drawn.
No Sign of Change
There was no indication, however.
that Russia would be ready to give
up her demand that her quota OF
100000 bushels be doubled.
Wheat export quotas for other
leading wheat producers. as fixed
last summer, were Canada, 100000 900
bushels; Argentine 11O,OOO,O0o; Aus
tralia 105,000,000 and the United
Etates 47,OOO,00O.
It was learned that the world wheat
situation was discussed at least briefly
by President Roosevelt and Maxim
Litvinoff at Washington. It re-
manned to be seen whether American
recognition would affect the Soviet
governments stand.
Delegates representing the big four
wheat growing nations were not wor-
ried because the price still is mater
tally below the 63.08 gold cents
bushel figure when importers prom
ise to ease tariffs. The current slump
is described as seaonal and aggravated
by the selling OF Danubian and other
crops. They asserted they never have
counted on having the barriers lifted
for at least year.
The United States is represented by
Ambassador Robert w. Bingham at
London and John Van Antwerp Mac
Murray. minister to Latvia. Estonia
and Lithuania.
AS they recessed for lunch, the
delegates generally expressed the
opinion that world wheat market con-
ditionS were mot at all promising
because the problem of over produc-
ton was still unsoived.

Let us take today's hand. South

West passes one heart.
North does not have one and one

is true that neither is very strong,
but certainly he does not want his

Many players make the mistake of
responding with no trump with this
type Of hand, and that is wrong. The
proper response. if you are going to
bid with this hand, is one spade,
even though it Is one Overcome call.
1t gives your partner a true picture

President Roosevelt stands for sound
money and will not be stopped by
bankers and their puppets" the Rev.
Fr. Charles E. Coughlin in a speech
Sunday attacked Alfred E. Smith for
his editorial in the New Outlook in
which he called for a return to the
gold standard.
Without Immediately referring to
Smith by name, Father Coughlin as
serted in his opening remarks that "a
Catholic gentleman of high social
standing has loaned his illus
trious name to q cause that is incon-
ceivable.
I'VE find no fault with Mr.. Smith
for defending the principles in which
he believes" Father Coughlin said,
I'VE do find fault with him for not
ascertaining the facts before the un-
kindest cut Of all was delivered"
Father Coughlin,s speech was
broadcast over an independent net
work Of radio stations.
Father Coughlin said the Smith
statements were 'but a part of the
organized attack on our leader, who
is trying to redeem us from the money

However. it takes good defense on the
part OF the opponents to stop the
slam.
The Play
East opens the five Of clubs. which
West wins with the ace. Now the
careless West player might lead q
trump, hoping to stop the declarer
from ruffing any clubs. But If he
does this, East would have to play
perfect defense to keep the declarer
from making small slam.
If diamond is returned immed-
lately, the declarer is bound to lose
another trick. while If the spade Is re-
turned, it will be won in dummy with
the queen. East showing out.
Now the ace and king of hearts are
cashed in dummy, a losing club being
discarded by the declarer. A small
heart is ruffed.
Declarer now plays the jack OF
spades and follows with small spade,
winning in dummy with the king. The
ace of spades then is played, picking
up the last OF the trump.
The three good hearts then are led
from dummy, but, unfortunately for
the declarer, he must discard before
East does. When he let's go two dia-
monds. East lets go a diamond and
the jack of clubs.
On the last heart, North must drop
the ten of clubs, so East lets 60 the
king of clubs and now all that North
can do is to win his ace Of diamonds
and grant East trick with the king
Of diamonds.
