first trick, the declarer can make
a small slam.
Vests opening lead was the four
of hearts. Declarer played low from
dummy, allowing East to win the
first trick with the king. East, in
stead of returning his partners suit,
decided to lead to the weakness in
dummy-the club Suit-and it was
this play which allowed the de-
clarer to make a small slam in the
following manner.

THE club trick was won with
l. the ace, the king Immediately
cashed, and the nine spot ruled
The king of spades was played, and
then the seven of spades. South
won the trick with the jack, and
West dropped the jack of clubs.
Four rounds of spades were
taken, declarer retaining the jack
of hearts and the ace and queen
of diamonds. On the fourth spade,
West was squeezed. He couldn't
hold both queen and ten of hearts
and king and ten Of diamonds-he
had to drop one of the ten spots.
If he dropped the ten of hearts,
the declarer would win two heart
tricks in dummy with ace and nine,
discarding his queen of diamonds;
while if the ten of diamonds were
discarded by West, it would make
the declarer's ace and queen Of
diamonds good.

QUIET HOLIDAY
 OBSERVED HERE
Factories Buzz Away With Action as Public Build.
 ings Are Closed

Waterbury today quietly observed the anniversary of the birth Of George Washington. In some re- spects the city appeared the same as Tuesday when blizzard halted all activity. Industry, however, was busy throughout the various fac- tories of the city.
 Schools, city hall, Bronson li- brary, court house, post office and banks were closed down in observ- ance of the holiday. It afforded employes of those institutions an opportunity to look over their domiciles with an eye to clearing up snow blanketed paths around the home and to the garages.
 School children took advantage of the heavy snow to engage in sledding on the little-used streets Older folks took to the hills for skiing and toboganning. Skating was out of the question because of the heavy covering of snow on the ponds.
 Embryonic George Washingtons would have found it difficult to ex- emplify his famous Cherry-tree- cutting act today, with the height of the snow nearly covering trees up to their first boughs.

AMERICANS GREAT
 FOR EATING MEAT
Fifteen Billion Pounds Sold Last Year, an All=
 Time Record Made

Ames, Iowa, Feb. 22.-"The American public has eaten more meat in the last thirteen months than in any corresponding period on record" John w. Rath, chair man of the board of the Institute of American Meat Packers, and president of the Rath Packing Company, Waterloo, Iowa, said last night in an address at Iowa State College.
 'The meat packing industry, which is the country's largest in- dustry judged from the standpoint of value of output at the plant, apparently sold more than fifteen billion pounds of meat in 1883, an a1l-time record" Mir Rath con- tinued. "The increase was caused primarily, by substantial increases in the number of cattle marketed, and by increases in the number of hogs sold by farmers.
 "The meat packing industry is not bothered by surpluses in the sense that some othe industries may be. The nature of the industry is such, dealing in perishable prod ucts, that the live stock must be transformed. into meat and the meat sold pomptly, regardless of the quantity. The price that is ob- tained for it, and consequently the price which the packing industry can pay for. live stock, is deter mined by tho amount which the housewives of the country cah pay for meat. The demand for meat, ill relation to the amount of produce tion, establishes the price at which meat and meat products sell.
 "Th6 packing industry was able to find a market for the tremen- dous amount of meat, but because the purchasing power of consumers during the year was less than one- half of normal, and supplies were far above normal, the prices of meat and the prices of live stock were low during 1933," MT Rath stated at another point.
 ''The meat packing industry as . whole made a profit in 1883, op- erating, with the exception of a few plants, on the black side of the ledger for the first time since 1880. Profits were small, but served to offset in part the losses sustained bJ the industry in the two preced- ing years. If the profits from all sources earned by the industry for 1888 had appeared in the form of lower prices for meat, the amount would have been only one-fifth of a cent on each pound of meat sold. If, on the other hand, the profits of the industy from all sources had appeared in the form of high err prices for live stock, producers would have received about one- seventh of a cent per pound more for each animal marketed"

REPUBLICANS TO ASSIST BROWN
 IN HIS DISPUTE
They Will Try to Refute Entirely the Charges
 About Airmail
BY RONALD c. VAN TINE United Press Staff CorrespOndent)


 Washington, Feb 22-UP)- Cross examination of Walter F. Brown, designed to diseredit, com pletely all charges of fraud in the awarding of airline contracts in the Hoover administration, ;s sched- uled to be undertaken today by re- publican members of the senate airmail committee.
 Senator Warren R. Austin, re- publican, Vt, at the request of Sem ator Simeon D.. Fess, republican, Ohio, will direct questioning of the former postmaster general. Fess asked the committee to hear Brown after the Hoover cabinet officer agreed to appear voluntarily and waive immunity.
 A three day exchange between Brown and Chairman Hugo L.. Black ended late yesterday with testimony aboAt Browns participa- ton in a million-dollar stock ac- count in 1928 and 1929.
 Brown said the account was operated jointly with the late Jo- seph P. Bagley, a close friend and business associate who was Wash- ington representative for several companies that obtained govern, ment construction contracts. Bag ley died in 1882, and, in his will, named Brown as "sole residuary negatee" of the estate.
 Brown told the committee the account brought him profits in 1928 tut the following year it was "very disastrous and caused me a great deal of sorrow" He said he was forced to pay $434,00O to prevent being wiped out
 Brown again denied charges of illegaHty in connection with a meeting in his office in 1880, at which airline operators were asked to find a way to aid passenger companies that had not mail con- tracts.
 Black crowded the record with testimony on Browns connections with the International Mercantile Marine Corporation and subsidiary companies that sought contracts to carry mail to Europe. Brown de- nied that his stock holdings had any connection with the award of contracts.
 He spiced his testimony with a sharp attack upon members o1 congress who assaif private citiZnes l under the privilege of immunity. l Looking Squarely at Black, who had charged collision in the 1880 airmail conference, the former cab- | inet officer commented on a recent critical speech by Chairman James ] Mead of the house postoffice com irittee, declaring:

Paris (UP)-What the modern Parisian couldn't do without is an occasional riot.
 With the exception of the bloody affair on the night of February 6 in the Place de la Concorde, which forced the resignation of the Dala- dier government, the 1894 riot gen. orally differs from the 17S9 model in one substantial particulars: the offensive is entirely on the side of the public authority.
 To-day's cop-"flic" is the local term-carries truncheon, a blackjack and revolver.
 To-day's rioter carries a .lusty set of lungs and the insignia of the Royalist party in his buttonhole. Often, too, a family name. Fascist canes, once popular, have been ta- booed as menace to the bearer.
 Riots, usually staged after dark, are announced in the morning in the Royalist newspaper, the Action Franchise.
 Whenever left-wing govern ment is apt to consider favorably measure which the ultra-Na- tionalists consider unfavorably- such as paying the war debt to the United States-there is riot.
 The majority of casualties are incurred by the police, which falls all over itself for fear of hitting some favorite son. Next comes in- nocent bystanders and newspaper men, the latter very obviously not favorite sons.
 Despite repeated warnings from the police, the average Paris pe- destrian has constitutional aver sion to running, or even walking, fast, when he sees coming toward him a phalanx of bluejackets.
 The Royalist rioter, or demon strator, does not suffer from foot weariness when the cops threaten to lose their temper. He simply scrams, leaving peaceful citizens and reporters to take the shock of the onslaught.
 Mob Use Firccrackers Some of the latest riots, of course, were staged over the Sta visky affair, 8 case purely of in- | ternal politics. This was the fam
