While rumorS of impending job
changes continued at the District
Building today, District officials
remained firm in their intention
to make few changes in the rank
and file of local Government work
erS.
Commissioner George E. Allen
denied that recent conferences
with Joseph O'Mahoney, Assistant
Postmaster General, had resulted
in plans to swing the political ak
on local jobs. Asked the purpose
of his visit Wednesday to the Post
office Department, Allen smilingly
returned:
II was buying stamps"
Confined To Heads
Those in a position to know be-
lieve that changes to be made will,
for the most part, be confined to
department heads, and that the
system of using Civil Service lists
to fill other jobs will be retained.
Among department heads con-
sidered as possible victims of the
ak is Corporation Counsel william
w. Bride, about whose office a
fight long has been brewing. Bride
has many supporters on Capitol
Hill, while there are many others
insisting that he be replaced,

$1,000 IN CITY
Sinking DUTY
To CHEST
Workers Sacrifice ThanksgiV-
ing to Garner New Contribu-
tons; PuIpits Make Pleas

Encouraged by gratifying re-
port of new contributions, Com
munity Chest workers are in
tensifying their efforts. The cam
paign's deadline has been ex-
tended until next Thursday.
With the drive $557000 short
of its goal of $1,945 900, volun-
teers yesterday sacrificed their
holiday and trudged from door to
door.
The governmental and group
solicitation units will resume So
licitation today with the hope Of
bringing at least half of the exist
ing deficit to the meeting at the
Willard Hotel next Monday.
Pleas From PuIpits
The speakers unit, at the sug-
gestion of DR.. Cloyd Heck Marvin,
will invite all clergymen of the
city TO make last-minute appeals
from their pulpits on Sunday.
Chairman Frank j. Hogan to.
day stated that more than
1000 Washingtonians have failed
to realize that this is their Com.
munity Chest. Hogan said:
s"This is not the work Of
any particular group Of per-
sons. The responsibility for
caring for the Districts needy
and distressed rests on the
shoulders of each Of the cit
liens here. Unless there is
full cooperation of everyone
this, drive will fail.
eff it does fail the go agen.
cieS depending for relief ON
the Chest will go wanting and
this in turn will work a hard
ship on those in need. So far
we have collected enough
money to help these agencies
only until July of next year.
sincerely urge everyone to
help us in our last-minute
drive"
Hogan also pointed out how
easy it is for individuals to help
the Chest. Ten cents a week,
for instance, would mean IS a
year to the Community Chest.
Hogan said it was his belief that
few working people in the Dis
trict cannot afford this amount.
DeplOres Clerks Attitude
ElWood Street, director of the
Community Chest today said that
this is one Of the few years that
the city of Washington did not
lead the country in making per-
centage of their quota.
He said that the attitude Gov
eminent workers have taken be-
cause of their IS per cent pay cut
was in a large measure due to
tagging receipts thus far. He
added that according to a speech
made recently by Budget Director
Douglas the Is per cent cut would
be removed shortly and that this
fact should encourage employees
to give.
In a radio appeal yesterday
Joseph D. Kaufman, chairman Of
the metropolitan unit, urged work
ers to make another canvass Of
their territory so as to remove
possibility of missing a willing
donor.

TWO BATTALION
CHIEFS DRAW
ATTACK
Charged With intimidation Of
Subordinates; WatSon'S
Reply Is Due Today

District officials will be asked
by Paul e. Jameson, attorney for
the City Fire Fighters Associa'
ton, to take action in regard to
alleged intimidation Of subordi.
mates by two Fire Department
battalion chiefs.
Jameson, who made this an.
nouncement today, previously re-
vealed that firemen had informed
him they were threatened by bat.
talon chiefs with transfer to
some undesirable assignment I'M
less they signed a petition APP
proving the official conduct Of
Fire Chief George S. Watson.
Followed Probe Request
The attorney pointed out that
these alleged intimidations came
Immediately following the request
of Representative Virginia E.
Jenckes CD, of Indiana, for
a congressional investigation Of
Watson's conduct in office based
on accusations which Jameson
forwarded to her. Jameson said
today:
"The conduct Of these two
battalion chiefs is reprehensi.
BILE, to say the least. Such con-
duct is prejudicial to depart
mental regulations. and l shall
ask the District Commissioners
and Chief Watson to act in
the matter"
Watson today ordered the two
battalion chiefs, T. B. Stanton
and A. Haight, to stop petition
ing the members of the Fire De.
partment. He said ne had heard
OF the petition only by reading
the newspapers.
Watson also issued a general
order, forbidding any further cir.
cularizing of members of the Fire
Department.
Will File Reply Today
The fire chief also said he will
file an answer to Jamieson's
charges with Commissioner Mel.
WIN L. HaZen today.
Meanwhile, Senator William H.
King, chairman of the Senate
District committee, recommended
to Mrs. Jenckes that the House
District subcommittee on inves-
tigation alone make the probe
into Jamieson'S charges.
He wrote this in answer to
Mrs. Jenckes' suggestion that the
House and Senate District com.
mittees join in directing the in.
quiry. Senator King said:
''May I say that the commit
tee on the District of Column
bia of the Senate has no sub
committee or special committee
authorized to examine into the
matters to which you refer, nor
have any authority to ap-
point a subcommittee for that
purpose. In view of the fact
that the House has a sub
committee, of which you are a
member, which is authorized to
make the investigation referred
to, it occurs to me that your
subcommittee might take such
course in the matter as 1t
seems advisable.
SIN the event that no inves-
tigatiOn is made by your sub
committee prior to the meet
ing of Congress, 1 shall, as
soon as there is a meeting Of
the District of Columbia of the
Senate, bring your letter to the
attention of the committee and
request that it give full and due
consideration to the same and
take such steps as the situa-
ton then requires"

ACTIVITY
INCREASE IS
SURPRISE

Steel operations opened the
week yesterday at 27.1 per cent
Of capacity, according to the
American Iron & Steel Institute.
This is an advance of 1.9 per
cent over week ago, when the
rate was 25.2 per cent and an
upturn of l per cent over the
indicated rate of 26.1 per cent
for the week beginning october
80.
This is the first upturn in acti-
vitieS in some time and while it
was expected that thed ownward
trend in steel output would flat
ten out, few looked for an in
crease at this time.
The peak of activities in steel
was reached in July when the
output was at 58.95 per cent Of
capacity. In August, the average
was 49.42 per cent: in September,
4O.89 per cent, and in October,
37.37 per cent.
That the decline was sharp In
October was indicated by the
average of 37.37 per cent for the
month, whereas the American
Iron & Steel Institute reported a
rate of 31.8 per cent on October

FARM AND MINE
STOCKS MAKE
GOOD GAINS
BY LESLIE GOULD


NEW YORK, Nov. IA Q.N.S0
8ullish activities were resumed in
the stock market today as the
dollar plunged to a new record
low against foreign currencies
falling under the domestic gold
value.
Gains ran to 3 points in the
farm and mining shares, with the
oils and chemicals close behind.
Other Groups Shaky
Other than these groups, how
ever, %"ne list failed to show any
buoyancy, reflecting the fresh un.
certainty created by foreign ex-
change gyrations, where sterling
scared more than 8 cents, crossing
e6.25.
Utilities were depressed, rails
were sluggish and United States
Steel backward. Motor sales were
active but gains were relatively
small. Trading, was only mod
brately active.
Government bonds suffered a
fresh relapse after their rally Of
the last two days as renewed sell
ing came in the Federal list fol-
lowing the dollars fall.
Profit-taking Heavy
Stocks started off higher and
gained strength as the session
wore on.
Profit-taking was heavy and
persistent but this brought only
temporary checks to the rise and
was offset as the bulls went from
group to group to keep the ad-
vance going.

While many natural squeezes ar rive every day at contract, great many of the squeeze plays that are made at the bridge table are what ara termed pseudo-squeeses. Tn other words, they are squeezes that proper defense could have pre- vented.
 Tn defending hand in which the declarer has long trump suit to run, you must make an carry decision as to which card you must hold to protect the squeeze. fou and your partner should decide. by your early discards, which suit each is going to protect.
 Small cards sometimes are very important as shown in today's hand, when, if West had discarded diamond, the declarer would have made his contract of four odd.
 This is not a hard hand to read. due to the fact that you can see. If your partner holds the high spade and the high diamond, ne Is going to have d difficult time protecting both, and East's dia- mond play marks him with a cer- tain diamond holding. Tie Play West leads the king of clubs and
