BRI ETMEYER IS
CANDIDATE FOR
HEAD OF CITY
Former Chief Seeks
Better Government
For The City

Phillip Breitmeyer, non partisan
candidate in the mayoTaity race OF
Detroit in the approaching primary
election. promises new and fair
deal to the taxpayers OF this city.
Mr.. Breitmeyer. former mayor OF
Detroit, 1909-1O, is perhaps best
remembered for the rebuilding OF
the Police Department TO its pre-
sent high standard OF fame and eff
ficiency.
In addition. he created the City
Plan Commission, designed to save
the taxpayers money and to
create a system OF beautiful paved
streets. suitable for the needs OF
the hour. His present pledge to
pull the city out OF its costly fin
ancial tangle. without literally
throwing millions OF dollars TO the
wind and 10 foreign banking in
terests. is a promising proposal.
Tells Platform
In an interview recently granted
the Tribune. Mr.. Breitmeyer made
the following statements:
"The relief OF unemployment has
long been a foremost civic duty to
my mind. In fact. Il will be remem-
bered that as City Park Commits
sioner in 1907 and 1908, / was re
sponsible for the recreation OF
Belle Isle as a beautiful city park
but more important at the time,
as a means to provide employment
for the hundreds of destitute fami-
lies.
know that the right kind Of
citizens would rather work than
receive charity. propose In my
next term OF office as Mayor OF
Detroit to carry out the program
OF Work for Everyone in so far
as this is humanity possible. The
proper coopernffon with pr1vrfe.
State, and National agencies will
do much towards providing en-
ployment for the idle thousands, i'm
addition to the general improve
ment of the city and its Industrial
facilities.
Regarding the city's colossal
debt, / call your attention to the
fact that the tax requirement has
been increased one hundred and
twenty three millions OF dollars
overnight, as the result OF the re-
funding proposal passed by the
Common Council and upon the re-
commentator OF the then acting
Mayor, of the city. This increase
in the tax requirement is twice the
investment of the entire City
Street Railway System. This is an
outrage against our children who
will suffer this unbearable bur-
den of taxation for years to come.
Refinancing of this debt had TO be
made, but it could have been ac-
complished much cheaper under
competent management of our city
In reviewing his years of SER
vice to the city many colored citi-
zens are convinced that Philip
Breitmeyer Is again being called

MAX YERCEN THRILLS
LARGE Y AUDIENCE
Tells Of w ork On
Dark Continent

The story OF South Africa was
told in a vivid. thrilling manner
last Sunday afternoon, by Ma,
Yergen, noted "Y" worker, in AL
address delivered at 81. Antoin
". M. q. A. gss ~ a.1tst,l
I Max Ysrsen was at hfs best. enf
the great audfoncb who heard him
viii not soon forget hfs great de-
votion TO an almost superhuman
task.
The hlghlights OF Mr.. Yergen's
address are as follows:
Nine tenths OF Africa now is un-
der control OF five European
powers. Only Abyssinia and I.iber-
la are possessed by native Africans.
The Union OF South Africa has as
its population one and one half
million whites. and between eight
and nine million natives. There are
only five Negro physicians 10
serve all these natives. Fear is the
basis OF the inhuman treatment ac-
corded natives by whites. South
Africa is no longer the dark con- ,
linent. but an appendage Of Europe |
with large modern cities, industries |
and general conditions much like |
Europe and America.
Half OF the gold mined in the
world comes from South Africa.
The only possibility OF equitable
racial adjustment lies in the al |
most inevitable self-determination |
attitude OF the African native. The
OF the spirit OF the
Christ cannot be forever subdu-
ed"

If dummy plays the seven or ten,
East should play the nine over the

East then should lead another suit.
There is an old rule in bridge

should select a suit which is weak

This is done in an endeavor to get
West, his partner, in the lead again
to return the spades, which would

Next-How the Rule of Eleven
operates.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1933-01-18

BY w. E. M'KENNEY
Secretary American Bridge League
TN my previous article, the rule
Il of eleven was explained. Fol-
lowing are several examples show
ing how to apply this rule correctly.
In every case, South is the de-
clarer at no trump, North the dunn
my, West is the opening leader,
and the card is in parenthesis. East
is the partner of the leader.
Example No. 1
Winning low-then unlocking
suit.
North-Dummy
Q-10-6
West-Leader East-Partner
K-9-8-(4 A-J-7-5
South-Declarer
West opens the four spot, his
fourth best. Applying the rule of
eleven, four from eleven leaves
seven.
There are three in the dummy
and as East, the partner of the
original leader, holds four, he knows
that the declarer holds no card
higher than the four spot.
Therefore, if the declarer plays
the six from dummy, EaSt's seven
spot will hold the trick.
Likewise, if the declarer plays the
ten, East will win the trick with
the jack; if the declarer plays the
queen, East will win with the ace.
Suppose the deolarer played the
six, the seven now holds the trick
East should return the ace, anc
then the jack, unlocking the suit
so that his partner can make the
fifth card of that suit.
If East we're to return the five
spot, West would be forced to wiz
with the king; then when West re-
turned the suit East would have
it blocked with the ace jack.
