With this militant reply and the
request that citizens of Indianapolis

offices Of the federal radio commits
sion in Washington, protesting the
report of its examiner denying a
permit to construct a radio station,
the Rev Morris H. Coers, pastor of

today answered those blocking eff

Wednesday word was received
from Washington that R. H Hyde,

South, the dealer, opened the
contracting with one spade, West
passed and North bid two spades.
East passed and South bid three
hearts. This showing Of a second
suit is highly constructive bid
and practically is forcing.
North showed that he could sup
port either major, and that he per-
haps was equally strong in both,
by bidding four hearts, which South
passed.
The Play
West has the opening lead-the
natural suit to open, the diamonds.
Here is a point to which 1 wish to
call your attention-the opening
lead of ten spot by the better
players today is not made from the
top of a sequence such as 1923,
but is made to show a higher honor
for example Q-10-9 as the leader
in this case holds.
You will see that this informa-
ton proves very valuable in a later
play.
Vests ten spot was covered by
dUmmy's Jack. East played the king
and South won the trick with the
ace. He then led the jack of hearts,
West covered, and dummy won the
trick with the ace.
A small spade was returned from
dummy, which East won with the
ace. This play of the ace by East
clearly marks him with a singleton
as South had bid spades there was
no hurry for East to play other than
second hand low
AS his partner had opened the
ten of diamonds, East now knew
that he held the queen, so he led a
small diamond, which West won
with the queen, and then led a
spade which East ruffed. In this
manner. the declarer'S contract of
four odd was defeated.
You now will hear the declarer
complain that this certainly was
hard luck-but was it? Where did

He could see that, with even dis

no denying that some hands do
break badly. but quite often bad

.DRYS HOPE TO
BEAT REPEAL
Will Contest Legality Of Con-
ventions Electing Delegates
At Large.
BY LYLE c. WILSON

WASHINGTON, July 26.-Prohi-
bitionists revealed today that they
hoped to block repeal by contest
ing the legality of state conven-
tions in which the repeal amend
ment was ratified by delegates
elected at large.
The move contemplated by the
drys is based on a decision of the
supreme court of Maine, which held
that delegates to the state conven-
ton must be elected by districts.
The dry challenge was directed
specifically at New York and New
Jersey. Canon William Sheafe
outlined the reasoning under which
delegate -at-large conventions ap-
proving repeal are to be challeng-
ed.
II am reasonably confident
Chase told the United Press, that
the elections in all states where
the law authorizing them was sim
iliar to that in New York and New
Jersey will be declared unconstitu-
tional by the United States supreme
court. Delegates-at-large were pre-
ponderant in the conventions as
authorized in these two states.
These elections will be declared
void in my Judgment on the same
ground stated by the supreme
court of Maine in reply to an in
quiry from the senate of that state
The court said then:
ut is evident, therefore. that in
every constitutional convention of
which we have knowledge, dele
gates have been chosen, not at
large, but from the various local
tiles within the state. BY this
method, the requirement has been
met that the members of the body
selected to make notifications of
the fundamental law should fairly
represent the people whom they
serve.
I'm view of the foregoing We do
not deem it permissible for the
state, under the terms of article
five Of the federal constitution, to
organize a convention wherein the
delegates entitled to participate are
elected at large"
Chase said on the basis of that
decision it would be contended that
conventions in most of the states
which acted so far we're not tru-
ly representative and they were
mot deliberative bodies as was
clearly contemplated by those who
wrote the constitution"

OIL DRILLING
BILL BEATEN

SACRAMENTO, July 26. U.P)-
The Craig bill which sought to cede
TO Huntington Beach, tidelands for
oil drilling purposes, failed to get
out of the senate revenue and tax
alton committee despite the fact 1t
had been previously approved by
the assembly.
Assemblyman Ted Craig told the
committee oil concerns were drain
ing vast oil pool under the Hunt
ington Beach tidelands. The tall,
earnest legislator argued the state
was losing great asset by its
"do nothing policy.
The bill proposed the state would
get so per cent of oil royalties de-
rived from development of the tide
lands oil pool; Orange county, 25
per cent and Huntington Beach 25
per cent.
Senator Edgar Stow, Santa Bar
bara, led the fight against the bill
on the principle that "our beaches
must not be ruined'. Senator
Nelson T. Edwards, Orange county,
accused Stow of "sour grapes
Craig contended the royalties
would net the state $365 900 annu-
ally.
cit is a fair measure" he de-
clared. "Just remember this: The
oil pool is being drained right now
by the adjoining companies, in
Guiding the Standard Oil company
and Others
The proposition had been twice
voted down by the electorate and
tor that reason, more than any
other, the committee was moved to
reject Craig's measure. A "do
pass" motion failed to pass the
bill out without recommendation.
Craig said he would attempt to
withdraw the bill from committee
by a senate majority vote,
