chevron.
The Order Of the Purple Heart was
originated by General George Wash

revived Feb. 70. 1882. out Of respect
for the memory and military achieve
ments Of General Washington.

House Committee
Arranges Plan for
Handling Measure

discussed with Harry Hopkins, CWA
head, the complaints from certain
sections Of the country that the civi
works wages are higher than those
prevailing in the community.
It is the administration plan that,
where the civil works wage scale Is
above the local level, to cut down
the number Of hours Of work for the
federal workers 50 that the total re-
ceived for a week will be at about
the local level.
!. There was said to be considerable
difficulty in administration in Ger
tain communities because Of the lacl.
OF local relief organizations to pro-
vide adequate rolls Of unemployed.
The president does not expect to
send his war-debt message to con-
gress for about q month and is going
to confer with Secretary Hull, nov
en- route home from South America,
before transmitting his message on
tariff legislation.
Will Expedite Measure
Although both house and senate
had other matters before them, bot
hope to expedite the dollar devalua-
ton bill. Chairman Fletcher Of tn
senate banking committee had /.
ready for introduction when the
senate met. Reserve board members
were summoned for late Wednesday

he lost: therefore, the contract will
be defeated.
South can see that the only way
he can make his contract IS to get
four club tricks; therefore, he should
proceed to set the club suit immedi-
ately. There Is no break that will give
nim five tricks, 50 he might as well
lose the first trick as any. Therefore,
the three Of clubs should be played
from dummy.
East will win the trick with the
nine and return the nine Of diamonds.
The declarer can hold off for one
round, and when East continues with
the eight Of diamonds, South wins
with the king, discarding heart from
dummy.
The ace and king Of clubs in dunn
rny are cashed and when the club suit
breaks, the six and five Of clubs are
cashed.
Even though the declarer still has
The heart suit stopped. he should not
risk the spade finesse even now, be-
cause West still may hold two dia-
monds, which would be enough to de-
feat the contract.
The two spades should be cashed,
and when the queen does not fall, the
ace Of hearts should be played, which
gives the declarer three no trump and
his contract.
