NTOSCOW'S famous trial of six Brit
lvA ish engineers and eleven Russians
on charges of espionage, sabotage and
bribery ended in the conviction of five
Of the. Britons and ten Of the Rus
slams. L. G. Thornton was sentenced
to three years in prison; w. H. Mac
Donald, who pleaded guilty, to two
years; Allan Monkhouse, John Cushny
and Charles Nordwall were ordered
deported; A. w. Gregory was acQuit-
ted. The ten Russians were given
prison terms up to ten years. There
was nothing surprising in the outcome
unless it were the mildness of the pen
alties inflicted.
The British government, which had
been watching the case with intense
interest, struck back at the Soviet
union promptly. King George and the
privy council declared an 80 per cent
embargo on Russian imports and the
Metropolitan Vickers Electrical Equip

victed men, ordered an immediate APP

slam. SO his next bid should be
five hearts.
This bid definitely shows South
that North holds two five-card suits
and they must both be headed by
the ace-king. due TO the strong bid
ding.
South starts 10 figure the hand
up. The heart suit practically is
solid. South has five high cards
the ace and king of spades. and the
ace. king and queen OF clubs-upon
which losing cards in the North
hand can be discarded. The bid
ding has shown that there are not
more than three black cards IL the
North hand, therefore. two losing
diamonds can be discarded on the
black cards and the other losing
diamond can be ruffed.
Therefore. South'S next bid should
be seven hearts. as he has located
home for every losing card.
II is true that the play of the
hand will produce seven no trump,
due 10 the fact that the queen OF
diamonds drops. but this is lucky
break not to De expected. and the
safer play is for seven hearts.

Monday 500 indianapolis automo-

six sponsored by the National Au-

simultaneously throughout the ma
ton w. j. Robinson, Indiana di-
rector of the organization, pre-
sided at the meeting.
NO set of fair rules in our in

mean much unless the organization
with the industry is set up with the
understanding to regulate the pro-
visions agreed upon" said Robinson.
The government has extended to
our trade an opportunity to govern
and police itself.
Failure to do this would cause
the government TO impose upon Us
a code perhaps not to our liking, and
possibly enforced by the license sys-
tenn"
A suggested code was read to the
audience by Robinson. 1t con-
tanned provisions regulating every
part of automobile merchandising. It
was presented that committees
might form their own programs.

BY w. f. M'KENNEY
Secretary American Bridge League

XNTHILE I want to advise YOU
w to be careful when holding
two-suit hands. and rot to be too
optimistic in your bidding due to
the fact that the hand may prove
to be a misfit. it does not mean
that you safely and intelhgently
cannot reach a grand slam con-
tract if it is in the hand.
Don't plunge on in the dark. but
after each bid stop and see what
additional information you now
have on the hand. and whether it
will prove OF any value.
Take for example the following
hand. which came UP at the Han
over. N H, tournament.
South opened the bidding With
one spade. West passed. Here we
again. find North with TWO ace-king
combinations.
Due 10 the fact that the hands
may prove 10 be a misfit. and with
the protection Of knowing that
partner has made an original first
hand bid. he should overcall with
two hearts. Holding two five-card
suits. the higher ranking one should
be bid first. South will now make
another constructive bid of three
clubs.
With North's hand. believe I
would now bid four diamonds
and not three. Partner has made
two constructive bids. and you should
not delay too long showing him the
strength OF your hand.
COUTH will go 10 four no trump.
- From this bid North knows that
his partner is not void in hearts and
amondS-otherwiSe he would not
attempt 10 play the hand at no
trump. However. North has no
desire 70 play the hand at no trump.
and would like to play the hand for

URGES PROTECTION OF
HOME OWNERS EQUITY
City Man Makes Proposal for
Change in L. S. Financing.


Plan for reorganization of the
entire home loan finance structure,
as a means Of preventing home
owners from losing their equity in
foreclosures, has been suggested in
a letter from H. L. Seeger, SOL North
Bradley avenue. TO Louis MeHenry
Howe, secretary TO President
Roosevelt.
Seeger proposes creation by the
federal government Of a state home
corporation in each state, into
which the lending groups may be
merged. through a common stock
ownership. and in which present
owners Of mortgaged homes may
obtain their equity or appraisal in
common stock and by future pay
ments increase their stock TO a
point where it will equal value Of
the property, then surTendering the
stock for the property.
A person building a home would
subscribe for half the necessary
stock, the remainder being replaced
on the market, bearing per cent
interest.
If a buyer were forced to aban-
don his home, he still would own
his stock, which would have an
open market value.
