cause, he said, Smith registered
as an American citizen and be.
cause he was the only civil engi.

Shift Of 80 Employees From
Emergency Relief Unit to
CWA Roll Alleged

Juggling Of funds and transfer
of employees between the Emerg-
ency Relief Division Of the Dis

and the Civil Works Admins
tration are revealed in a COM
munication from E. Claude Bah
cock, president Of the American
Federation Of Government En-
ployes, to Chairman Melvin
Hazen of the District Commis-
sioners, made public today.
According to Babcock's letter,
30 employees of the Emergency
Relief Division have been noti-
fled that they have been fur
loughed from their jobs and
given CWA Jobs at slightly in
creased salaries. Babcock con-
tends that this procedure not
only puts permanent employees
in a charity status, but also
shows that persons on work re-
lief gets more money than some
Of the regular employees Of the
Emergency Relief Division.
Makes Letter Public
Babcock made public a tran
script of the letter which, he said,
had been received by 80 employees.
The letter is signed by Leroy A.
Halbert. It read in part:
"This is to notify you Of q
proposed change in the source
Of your pay as an emplOye Of
the Emergency Relief Division
from funds provided for ad-
ministrative expenses to funds
provided for Civil Works Serv-
ice jobs.
"Under the new method your
rate of pay will be ...... per
weke, which is better pay than
you are now receiving. In exc
cutting this new plan you will be
given furlOugh as o staff en-
plOye, and will remain eligible
for unemployment on the staff"
Finances Are Blamed
The letter goes on to say that
this is necesSitated by financial
conditions; that in the changed
status duties will be much the
same, and that persons have been
selected for CWA jobs whose sala-
ries were in the CWA range and
whose financial circumstances
make the job essential.

tends that employees thus dealt

LIQUOR TAX
MEASURE
Acceptance of 81 a Gallon
Increase Forecast After
Approval by House
BY International News Service

Senate leaders today planned
to expedite action on the liquor
tax bill, which was approved over
whelmingly by the House yester-
day.
Acceptance of the increase from
$1.1O to 50 a gallon in the tax
on whisky and other liquors was
forecast as the Senate Finance
Committee prepared to act on the
measure. It will try to have the
Senate vote on it next week. Each
days delay is costing the Gov
ernment $750,O00 in taxes.
Fight To Be Renewed
The fight in the House for
both a higher and a lower tax
on whisky was expected to be re-
newed, with Senator Borah (RJ
Of Idaho slated to lead a move
ment to raise the tax to 81 or IS
a gallon.
Widespread complaints of the
poor quality of liquor also may
result in demands for provisions
to protect the consumer.
Under an amendment placed
in the bill by the House at the
request of the Treasury, stamps
showing the payment Of tax
must be placed upon all contain
ers. This requirement would be
an additional protection to the
public against the purchase Of
bootleg liquor.
A tax yield of $47O,00O, 900 a
year is expected under the bill.
This includes the beer tax, which
now is yielding about $160, 900, 900.
Beer, Wine Get Break
A concession to beer and wine
drinkers was made when the
House extended the IS a barrel
tax on 80 per cent beer to cover
all beers. The present tax on beers
Of greater alcoholic strength is
$6 a barrel.
The wine taxes, ranging from
four cents q gallon on naturally
fermented or table wine to Is
cents on wine containing as much
as Is per cent alcohol, are de.
signed to encourage wine drink.

cided to pass another liquor bill

may seek to perpetuate the con
troll of the liquor traffic now

Solution to PreUiONS
Contract Problem
BY w. f. M'KENNEY
Secretary American Bridge League

THIS is the sixteenth of a series
4 of eighteen playing problems
prepared by Henry P. Jaeger.
Never" is a long time, isn't it?
Don't let any one tell you that there
is something in bridge that you
should never" do. The words
never" and always are, I be-
lieve, of too great magnitude to be
used in the game of bridge.
You have often heard players re-
mark, Always play second hand
low" Instead of learning hard and
fast rules, just remember that it
is your duty to make any play that
you think will win.
1t may be true that, in the ma
jority of cases, it pays to do a GER
tain thing-or that it seldom pays
to do another thing.
Today we find that the player
who says, always play second hand
low" would receive a poor score
on the hand.
North's opening lead is the four
of spades. Declarer refuses to win
the first round and plays low,
South holding the trick with the

jack. South returns the nine of
spades and this trick is won in
dummy with the king.
NORTH plays the deuce, marking
~ him with at least five spades
Declarer'S next play is small heart
from dummy.
Par Oh the hand is for South to
forget that rule, Always play sec
ond hand low" and go right in with
the king of hearts. Why? Because
he is going to try to conserve his
partners entry.
Now, if West holds the ace and
queen of hearts, South's king isn't
any good, but if North happens to
hold the ace, the declarer will play
an honor, forcing Norths ace out
and then, when the spade suit is
led, West will win with the ace
and North will have no entry card
to get in to cash his two good
spades.
However, if South goes right up
with the king of hearts, and re-
turns a spade, declarer still has to
lead the queen of hearts to estab-
lish a heart trick and make his
game, as neither the diamonds, MOI
the clubs will break for him.
And, of course, as soon as he
leads the hearts, North is in and
cashes the two good spade tricks.
BY conserving his partners en-
try, South has defeated the con-
tract.
