South can win four trump
tricks. North can win three
tricks with aces. The problem
resolves into a double squeeze
to force East and West to un-
guard a suit, to enable North
and South to win their eighth
trick.
Force a discard or two from
West, so as to know how to play
the squeeze. South must lead
a spade. West may discard a
heart, diamond or club. To
make certain that the problem
can be solved against any de-
fense, try it by turns with West
making one of the three dis
cards possible.
First let West discard a club.
North must make the same dis
card. Lead second spade. West
cannot discard another club
without solving South's prob
lem.
South can then lead either
red suit. Win with the Ace;
lead North's Ace of clubs and
by trumping low club pick up
Vests last club, leaving a good
club North, to win the eighth
trick. No sane player sitting
West will discard a second club
but will discard either a heart
or diamond. Try both these
diScards.
Upon the second spade lead
West must discard a red card.
North must discard from that
same red suit. The third lead
must be the red suit from which
West has discarded. North'S
Ace will win the trick. Lead the
Ace of clubs. Have South dis
card from the other red suit.
South returns to his own hand
by trumping a club. Each
player holds just three cards.
The diagram below assumes
that West has discarded a heart
upon the second spade led. If
he dlscards a diamond North
will have no diamonds, but one
club and the Ace and one heart.

Secrets Of Health
By LOUIS E. RISCH

Famous Authority on Health and Psychology
The Washington times., 1933-03-29

Pneumonia slows up the human
liver as a factory for the manu-
facture Of red blood cell materials,
according to tests conducted by
DR.. G. H. Whipple of the Uni
versity Of Rochester, reported to-
day to the eighty-fifth meeting
of the American Chemical Society.
DR.. Whipple disclosed that
pernicious anemia causes a huge
increase in fabrication of hemo-
globin factors while chronic dis
eases Of the liver, such as cirr-
hosts, effect no demonstrable
change.
Gas Data Revealed
It was learned at the meeting
today that scientists at the
Bureau of Standards have made
possible the safe use of domestic
gas appliances Of every type in
cities of both low and high alti-
tudes.
Nine gas appliances Of distinct
ly different design were studied
by a group of scientists, the re-
port submitted by j. H. Eiseman
and F. H. Smith, chemists, U. S.
Bureau of Standards, and C. j.
Merritt, research associate, Amer
ican Gas Association.

The men who made the tests
were sealed with their instru.

ments in small chamber of re-
inforced concrete. The air had
been pumped out until the marc
metric pressure was as low as it
is in Denver, Colo.
It had been learned that gas
appliances which bore the seal
of approval for cities like Cleve-
land would produce dangerous
quantities of poisonous carbon
monoxide gas when tested prop
erly in Denver.
The scientists wanted to know
why.
They learned the reason, a
highly technical one, and by
learning it, save the lives Of
many Americans.
The council of the Chemical
Society, in a resolution adopted
today, urges the necessity of de-
veloping scientific investigation
as part of the national pro-
gram for economic recovery.
The council fully approved
drastic economy in public expen-
ditures as an urgent need.
Federal, State, and municipal
authorities, as well as the in
dustries, are asked to make every
effort to provide adequate finan-
cial support for research.

15PERCENTP PAY
GUT ORDERED

Acting under the broad power
recently conferred on him by
Congress when it approved his
suggested economy law, President
Roosevelt last night ordered a
Is per cent flat salary reduction
for Federal and District employees
to become effective April i.
The reductions will be applied
to pay checks paid on April Is,
and will be in effect until June
80, 1888, when a second order
will be issued.
Affecting all classes Of EN-.
ployes, civil and military, the
reduction will reduce Federal ex.
penditures by $40.O00,000 by July
/, it is estimated.
The $50O,OOO,0OO economy law,
under which the President issued
his executive order last night
also permits him to curtail vet
terans' compensations, but they
were not included in last nights
order.
Authorized to base his reduction
on the decrease in living costs
since the first six months Of 1928
by determining the average for
Six-month periods, President
Roosevelt in his statement last
night said that living costs had
declined 21.7 per cent.
The reduction will not be
super-imposed on the payless fur.
Tough of 81-3 per cent as the
furlough will be absorbed into
the Is per cent cut.
Under the law, President Roose-
velt may turn back to the Treas.
ury IS per cent Of his $4,000 an.
nual salary. He intends to make
the return.

No Use PiIing Up Surplus
Which Cannot Be Used,
Senator Contends

Demands for District tax reduc-
tions commensurate with the slash
of $11, ZOO, 900 made by the Bureau
Of the Budget in the 1884 budget
may be carried to Congress by
Senator William H. King CD Of
Utah, chairman of the Senate
District Committee.
Voicing definite opposition to
the budget reduction which would
permit the accumulation Of a
surplus, Senator King declared:
zone of two things is true.
EITHER District taxes are too
high and yielding more revenue
than the budget director be-
lieves should be spent for
operating the government, or
the taxes are merely adequate
to meet the needs and all the
tax money should be spent.
No Reason For Surplus
II see no reason for collecting
taxes from District residents
for the purpose of rolling up .
surplus in the Treasury which
cannot be expended, but must
be impOunded. I am strongly
opposed to any such theory or
practice.
'Tf the taxes are not neceS-
Sary to defray all the expenses
of the District government,
then they ought not to be
levied or collected.
"If the taxes are more than
adequate, then they should be
reduced to protect the home
owner. 1 am for him."
To Get Data on Surplus
Senator King said that he had
called l,p District Auditor Daniel
j. Donovan to supply him with
data regarding the surplus that
will accrue if the Budget Bureaus
recommendations are adopted by
Congress.
He declared that if he found it
necessary he would introduce a
resolution authorizing and direct
ing the Commissioners to reduce
taxes in proportion to the de-
crease in appropriations.

Copeland Declares CurtaiI-
ment in Conflict With
Roosevelt Ideas

Discussion OF the proposed o."
0O0, 900 slash in the District
budget for the coming fiscal year
started today before the House
District Committee, with the Dis
ric Commissioners attending.
Great dissatisfaction with the
proposed budget was expressed by
District officials, citizens and
civic organizations, who pointed
out that if the drastic slash IS
put in effect it will result in fur
ther unemployment as well as cur
tailment of essential government
tai activities.
Before Committee
The District Commissioners and
District Auditor were summoned
before the House District Com
mittee for a brief period. and
told to hold themselves in readi-
ness to appear at another hearing
later in the day.
They declined to comment on
what happened at the hearing,
but it was understood that they
pointed out the budget slash
would throw 1000 persons out Of
work.
Despite this, members of the
committee did not ask for recon-
mendations for increasing the
budget for various departments
which have been Slashed.
The estimated $1,250,000 for
District emergency relief is en-
tirely inadequate to care for the
needs Of the next fiscal year, Le-
roy A. Halbert, director Of emerg-
ency relief, pointed out.
While this sum is the same fig
ure as that submitted in the bud
get which was defeated at the
last session, the demands for re-
lief are growing at an unanti-
cipated rate. Halbert said that
in the last two weeks the num-
ber of needy persons applying has
increased 100 a day.
School Groups Plan Fight
Parent Teacher Associations
are organizing to fight the slash
for the school department, hold
ing that the Government should
not seek ~ economic at the eX-
pense of its children.
A meeting Of presidents Of all
associations has been called for
Friday night.
Several important projects in
the school construction program
chief of them the Wilson High
School, will be halted if the pro-
posed slash is adopted.
Among other major projects
which will be halted under the
proposed budget are construction
Of the new Calvert Street bridge
over Rock Creek, designed to re-
place the 42-year-old bridge, and
a large amount Of projected
sewer construction work.
Plans of the highway depart
ment also will have to be changed,
Capt. H. c. Whitehurst, director
of highways, said:
Libraries to Be Closed
DR.. George F. Bowerman. IL

result in closing three branch
libraries and curtailing the SER
vice at the main library.
Voicing his opposition to the
proposed budget reductions, Sen
ator Royal S. Copeland CDO of
New York, a member Of the Sen
ate District Committee as well
as the eSnate District Approprla-
tions subcommittee, declared to-
day that he believed the elimina-
ton of items for street repair and
bridge construction were in direct
conflict to the Presidents public
works policy.
