legislation to further amend the
home loan act, marks the first
notice of the Administration OF
the need of new building.
The National Emergency Coun-
Gil, headed by Frank c. Walker.
first recognized the need OF new
construction as a boost to reem-
ployment. The plan was con-
tanned in his suggestions sub
mitted to the White House shortly
following the Presidents return
from his Florida vacation and its
definite provisions will be made
public shortly.
1t is presumed by many that the
plan will show trend toward a
form of mortgage discount cor.
poration similar to that for which
the National Association of Real
Estate Boards has pressed for
months. This is judging from the
report that the action is to be
made possible through the release
of funds already held by banks
throughout the country.
Whether the plan was accepted
through recognition of immediate
unemployment relief or through
an approaching housing shortage,
is not revealed, but Willard l..
Thorp, director of the Federal real
property inventory, has sent out
to mayors of the large cities of
the country, requests for maps in
dicating major econmic areas in
their cities.
This is taken to indicate that
the survey, representing a fair
cross-section of the housing Situa-
ton of the nation, is about COM
plete and the breakdown is to be
made according to the outline on
the maps.
The Waple-James combine Is out
with another new house, situated
on Rittenhouse Street and mod
estly priced in accordance with
the popular demand.
Many of the property manage
ment realtors are beginning to
open their eyes and wonder what
they are going to do to satisfy an
increasing demand for new apart
mentS. While the situation is not
yet acute. the fact remains that
apartments are moving fast and
if the pace of the past three weeks
is maintained, slight emergency
in apartment housing may de-
velop. '.'>

Singing in the Reign

The Saengerbund of Prince
Georges County is singing hot
tune these days.
Organized as a singing society,
it has entered into the political
field, and is the first club in the
county to indorse Albert c.
Ritchie for a fifth term as gov.
ernor.
They held a gay party the
other eve, and, according to
Cornelius Ryan,. were not sup
posed to do any singing. The
card party was to be given solely
for the purpose of raising funds
for a clubhouse.
The plans went awry, how
ever, according to confidential
reports.
Although not on the schedule
there was some singing on the
part of few of the boys.

Today's Contract Problem

The reason for bidding a four card suit is to try to fill in the holes. so that your partner may be able to play the hand at no trump, Another thing = your partner does no like to support four-card suit with fewer than four cards of that suit.
 If you bid the spades first. and then the clubs, he has the right to assume that you have at least five spades. But when you bid clubs first and then spades, he is warned that the spade suit is only four cards in length unless, of course, rebuilding might show six-five distribution.
 One other point in today's hand. If you have shown both suits, and your partner elects to bid and re- bid his own suit. refusing to sup port either one, you should drop out of the picture. Tn this case. his re-bid of hearts clearly tells you that he does not have the dia. mond suit stopped, he cannot SUD- port either of your suits, and his hand is not strong enough to en- courage game in hearts.
 So, even though you hold 3 l-2 primary tricks in the South posi-. tion. the bidding should properly stop at two hearts--and two hearts is exactly what you can make. (Copyright. 1884, NEA Service. Incl
