This years recovery program
has been limping badly in his
absence.
Business has languiShed and
has shown no signs of picking up.
Industrial and financial interests,
no longer able to blame the Sc
curities act, have landed on vari-
Gus explanations for this condi-
ton. Their latest shafts are di-
rected against the reciprocal
trading program which, they say,
keeps producers paralyzed with
fear. This week they have been
complaining also about the Presi-
dents Sunday night broadcast in
which he mentioned a coming
battle ito save our resources OF
agriculture and industry against
the SelflshneSS of individuals.
Financial interests are demand
ing new assurances from the
President that private profit will
not be disturbed in spite of his
remarks to that effect in his final
message to congress and the later
speech of Joseph P. Kennedy,
chairman of the securities and
exchange commission.

Willy FRANCE SITS AND CHUCKLES
For AdolS Naz Ibeil Ge,anyS Victory in Saar Voting
BY MORRIS GILBERT
NEA Service stan Writer.

nARIS. Aug. 9.-Priyately and
Il with more than a little cynical
satisfaction, the old gag about the
i'll wind blowing somebody good is
going the political rounds here
these days
The III wind. of course, is the
blast Of homicidal mania and the
hot breath Of bankruptcy whoop-
ing across the German reich.
The specific good" to France,
apart from worldwide revolution
against Hitlerism-is the effect Of
the Teutonic filters on that dis
nal, grimy, smoke smudged, ex-
tremely valuable spot of territory
called the Saar basin.
For years France has been WOO
ing the Saar as if that little re-
gion were a bankers daughter.
Lavishing special customs priv
ileges on her as if they were
string of pearls. Being nice and
sweet and kind to her, financially
and otherwise, as if the Saar had
just put up its pigtails and didn't
know its own mind, but was some
day coming into a fortune any
how.
Hitherto unsuccessful-for this
bankers daughter is an ungrateful,
pig-headed little hoyden-France
begins to feel that perhaps it isn't
all in vain. Perhaps Fraulein
Saar will place her coal-grimed
hand in Frances instead of Ger
many's next January at the
plebiscite- betrothal.
1t seems pretty evident to most
people that the other guy" who
has been counting her resembles
Nietzsches big blond beast"
more closely than is comfortable.
DEOPLE who think that, even
Il now, the Saar would turn to
France in the plebiscite probably
are optimistic.
The best that can be said is
that according to the sensible
view, the Saar might do better
for herself that way.
But people in general aren't
sensible where nationality comes
in; and where they feel Teutonic,
not French, they usually can be
counted on to act like it.
Still, things being as bad as
they are in Germany, there is an

THIEF STEALS S565 BY
HOODWINKING BOY, II
Same Man Believed to Have Stolen
$50 Later.

A young man posing as a pros
pective roomer yesterday stole
money and clothing valued al S125
from two persons who had adyer-
tised rooms for rent.
Harold Reid, 1912 North New Jer-
sey street, said that, while he and
his wife were at work, a young
man told their son, Harold Jr, II,
that he would take the room. While
the boy was getting water for the
guest the man made away with
clothing valued at $50, valuable
papers and SIS.
1t was later discovered that the
thief took a violin made in 1897
and valued at $500 from the Reid
home.
A similar experience was reported
by NJ. z. Heiner, 2516 Central ave-
nue., who said that while he was
away from home his daughter ad-
mitted the ''roomer," who sole
clothing valued at $50.

other choice before the Saar. She
can vote to stay free from either
country and keep on being gov
erned by commission of the
League of Nations. That is what
might happen now, French OBJ
servers are whispering.
On a reasonable basis, here is
the balance, as figured out by
French accountants, why the Saar
should choose France, or at least
neutrality, instead of Germany.
1. Comparative political free
dom. A German today is Nazi or
nothing. In the Saar, one-fourth
the population is Socialist. Be-
sides that, there is Sizeable
group of liberals who don't hold
with Hitlerism. These people can
live in the Saar today, and could
continue to do so under France.
They couldn't, as part of the
Fatherland.
2. Religious freedom. Seventy
per cent of the Saar is Catholic.
Catholics and German Wotan-
worshipers haven't been getting
along at all we'll, of late.
3. Economic advantages. Today
the Saar basin is within the
French customs zone. That is, she

That, however, is pure fallacy.
The picturesque old -wheelers,
described in Tom Sawyer and
Huck Finn, have become relics of
the past, but now tunnel barges"
with the propellors tucked close
up in groves under the stern, have
replaced them. And, according to
General T. Q. Ashburn, chief of
the Inland Waterways commits
sion, there is more traffic on the
Mississippi today than in the most
glamorous period of the packet
boats.
In fact there is so much traffic
on the river that it has become a
serious competitor of the railroads.
The problem the President faces
briefly is this:
Inland waterways are being

DUT-whereas river traffic en-
- joys a free highway, the rail-
roads spend "a cents out of every
dollar for maintenance. And, in
order to keep a majority of the
rail lines from bankruptcy, the
government-through the RFC-
has loaned them S42O,699,9 $50, of
which 1888, 384,56S still is out
standing.
To a certain extent, therefore,
Roosevelt faces the question of
bankrupting the waterways or else
part of the midwestern railways.
His advisers, meanwhile, have
been urging the necessity of eco
nomic planning for rail and wa
ter lines. At present there is no
common regulating agency. The
interstate commerce commission
can not touch water rates on
port-to-port hauls-can do so only
when they are part by rail.
So, it is almost a certainty that
a new agency to co-relate water
ways and railroads will come out
Of the Presidents trip.
This will not mean the dininu-
ton of the inland waterways. AS
a matter of fact, the President
has in mind a big improvement
in the Mississippi system as
distribution chain connecting the
corn and wheat belt with the st.
Lawrence waterway. Also, he
plans giant new canal giving the
Tennessee valley a direct water
route to the Gulf of Mexico. Fin
ally. he wants to develop more
towns along the waterways in
order to break up congestion in
industrial centers.
Waterways probably-and their
relation to railways-wil come in
for some intense economic study

Most of the iron ore for the
Saars five big blast furnaces
comes from France. But, French
men point out, the French supply
isn't inexhaustible, and France
can make use of her own, very
nicely, thank you, unless there is
some special reason for selling TO
the Saar.
But if the French decline to
continue supplying ore, the fur
naces must shut down, it is argued
here, because no other ore is
proftably available.
Which means shutting down the
Saar coal mines, too, and econom-
ic death for the territory.
Add to these uncomfortable
representations the present
nightmarish carryings-on which
Saar folk can see by looking over
their back fence into Germany,
and it is no wonder that the

When we hold a long solid suit that we can run off either at no trump or at a suit contract, we look for the squeeze play. In other words, we try to make our oppo- nents discard winning cards. Per haps the most difficult squeeze plays to recognize, however, are the ones where we have no long suit, and where we must employ one opponent to squeeze the other.
 This play was recognized and executed by William A. Roof, Jr, recently retired president of the Cleveland Whist Club, one of the oldest bridge organizations in the country.
 MT Roof and his partner were using the Roland Club system of bidding. The original bid of one club is an artificial convention to show three and one-half high card tricks. With less than two tricks, partner must respond with one dia- mond. Any other response is posi- tive.
 Therefore, NoEth's response of one spade over the one club show ed at least two high card tricks. The hand was almost strong enough, under the Roland system to jump to two spades, inviting a slam. except that the spade suit is only four-carder.
 When MT Roof in the South made a positive response of one no trump. North decided to waste no further time and went right up to six.

Fashion ShOlO And Bridge
 ObserDed By Women s Club
Models Were We'll Received By The Large Audience
 In Attendance Yesterday Afternoon

The large auditorium of the Wa terbury Women's Club was filled to capacity yesterday afternoon when the members of the club and their friends gathered for the annual bridge and fashion show of the club.
 Mrs John c. Bradley announced the models and their wearing ap- parel as they appeared with a colorful description of each gar- ment being given. The wearing ap- parel was displayed by the Grieve Bisset and Holland Company with New York models gracefully mod cling each style. Suits, afternoon dresses, dinner dresses, evening gowns and sport clothes were shown in the wide selection pre- scented. Suits are forecast as the prominent spring attire and dress es are mostly fashioned in two- piece models. The style showing was one of the most successful to be sponsored by the club. Shoes were shown through the courtesy of Manning-Armstrong Company.
 The feature of the afternoon was the amusing yet clever efforts of the small children to model the latest in children's fashions. The children who participated in the show were: Robert Faeth, son of MT and Mrs William Faeth; Ann Foster, daughter of Dr and Mrs Foster, Helen Jourden, daughter of MT and Mrs A. s. Jourden; Pris- cilla Tappin, daughter of MT and Mrs c. l.. Tappin; Joan Cameron. daughter of Mrs Bessie Cam eron; Barbara Tyack, daughter of MT and Mrs c. Dana Tyack and Bar
