trick might cause dummy's K TO
be played on the first trick. Up
went the K, just as East had
calculated might be the case,
but declarer had no more OF the
suit, so East lost one possible
trick.
The Declarer led a low
spade from Dummy and rutted
the trick. He picked up all OPP
posing trumps, then he led the
Ten of TeartS. When he failed
to get a cover by East, Dunn
my's Queen was played and
won the trick. The Declarer
then spread his hand, having
won a single trick above his
contract, but nothing could
have kept him from fulfilling
his contract. The hands would
have Jared poorly, either at
Spades or No Trumps. North-s
hand demanded that Clubs,
and only Clubs be the declara-
ton.

Dr.. Bisch s Daily
Diet Hint

Always cook pork thoroughly,
especially in warm weather. The
reason pork is not borne well by
some people is because its fat
lies between the individual
fibers of the meat. Because of
this the fat and protein are
eaten together and their separa-
ton is difficult in the process Of
digestion. In beef, on the other
hand, the fat lies in a separate
layer.

PHONE MERGER
PLAN STUDIED

President Roosevelt has begun
study of report submitted by a
governmental committee of ex-
perts dealing with the possibilities
of merging the communications
systems of the acknowledgement,
telephone, and radio-he revealed
today.
No Administration policy has
been decided upon, and none
probably will be for some time, it
was indicated. Congressional SEN
timent must first be aScertained.
The report now on the Presi-
dents desk was drawn up by
committee of the Commerce De-
partment after long study.
It presents three possible plans
merger of the systems under
strict Government control, con-
tinuation of the present policy and
Government ownership.
The President emphasized that
no Administration policy has been
decided upon. There is some feel
ing in Administration quarters,
however, for permitting monop-
olies in the com m u n i t o n
branches under far Stricter super
vision than the Government now
attempts.

Meanwhile, militant vets, furi-

they intend to gather in large
numbers at a hearing to be held
Friday morning at II o'clock by
the board IN Upper Marlboro. At
that time the board will again 90
into the question Of liquor sales
in the fought-over towns.
Today the board held an execu-
tive session, at which it refused
to issue a permit to DR.. William
B. Spires, Mt. Rainier druggist.
Druggists Aroused
The druggists are unable to
purchase prescription stock and
they. too. are up in arms over
the boards ruling.
College Park will remain dry
because of the University of Mary
land. Drug stores will not be
given the right to sell it on pre-
scriptions, the board ruled.
In defense of its stand the board
said:
''The Board of License Com.

ton of granting and not grant,
ing temporary licenses for sale
Of alcoholic beverages within
the corporate limits Of the
towns Of HyattsviIle, Riverdale,

Gus consideration. and has
reached the decision to with
hold granting of such temporary
licenses at this time.
I'm reaching this decision we
have taken into consideration
the reasonable request of the
governing bodies of these towns
that we withhold such temporary
licenses until such time as the
fact is satisfactorily established
that real sentiment Of the
registered voters of the towns
is either for granting such IL
censes or not granting them.
can element also taken into
consideration is the recon-
mendatiOn from the State Sen
atOr (LanSdale G. Sasscer) and
members of the delegation that
such a stand be taken by u.s."
It developed during the day
that members of the Mt. Rainier
town council, the town in which
the license fight started, were in
favor Of granting licenses if their
town were given a portion of the
revenue. The same was found to
be true of Laurel, but the new
Maryland liquor law forbids split
ting of the license fee.
The recommendation of the
county's delegation in the gen.
eral assembly was believed to
have been the deciding influence
on the two Democratic members

Dr.. Gulick Urges Fairly Low

The. entire liquor regulation

mittee, testified at the joint

and Means Committee tax
hearing today.
Urges $3.50 Tax Total
While experts of the committee
sponsored by John D. Rockefeller,
jr., favored a SO a gallon tax. DR..
Gulick suggested a maximum tax
Of $3.50 a gallon, including State
gallonage taxes.
Before DR.. Gulick testified two
former liquor dealers declared the
nation faces a task to outlaw the
bootlegger. 80
j. w. Murray, of Holyoke,
Mass, said big bootleg Syndicates
are now offering liquor for 81 a,
gallon in an effort to hold their
business.
Ten Big Syndicates
Murray told the committee the
price war started by eastern boot
leggers would gain momentum
under high taxation. He said:
"There are supposed to be ten
large bOOtlegging SyndicateS in
the country. There were IL but
one of them is iquidating or
consolidating.
"They are well organized with
trucks, airplaneS, boats and a
regular system of distribution.
They pay so cents a gallon pro
lection money. They have able
men in their organizations.
"Their truck drivers are sober
men. If they get drunk, some
thing worse than a fine or jail
sentence happens to them. 1t
will take three to four years to
break up the syndicates."
William L. Cauffman, speaking
for Philadelphia liquor dealers,
asserted:
1--WE cannot compete with the
bOOtlegger at the present time"
LOW TAXES NEEDED
Both urged low taxes to bring
down the retail price OF liquor.
DR.. Gulick said a Federal tax
on liquor-with no part to Ego to
the States-should not be over
$3.50 to So a gallon.
He said the alcohol problem
must be solved by both Federal
and State action, adding:

Throughout the country the
