is not what some players term a
sign-off bid-to sign off, you simply
pass.
But you do say to your partner,
in responding with one no trump, Il
do not particularly like the suit you
have bid, and 1 am going to give
you a chance to show another suit
if you can. My hand contains about
two probable entries"
However, when your partner opens
the bidding in third position and
you respond with one no trump, you
are showing a better hand than if
you had responded to a first or Sec
ond-hand bid.
In other words, when your part
ner makes a club or a diamond DID

one no trump, you know that you
may be pushing him into the two

ALASKAN TRIP
DESCRIBED To
K|WAN|S CLUB

Description OF MS recent trip to
Alaska was given by Roy l.. Wo-
mack today for the Kiwanis club
at the meeting at the Barbara
Worth hotel.
The trip itself is a leisurely one,
Womack declared, and during it he
learned much of the northern peo-
Pile. He suggested to the Kiwan-
ians that if they want complete
change from the social and business
life that exists in Southesn Cali
fornia, they take this Alaskan trip.
While in that country Womack
found that the word depression"
was taboo, and that all were doing
we'll and seemed happy and con-
tented.
The speaker dwelt at considerable
length on the rare beauty Of the
country and told his audience that
Alaska is indeed a sportsman's par
adise, announcing that if he makes
the trip again he will go prepared
to fish and hunt.
Harold Tyler was chairman OF
the day.

INSECTS RAzE
OLD MISSION

SANTA MARIA, Calf, Sept. u.
U.P)-Ancient Mission Santa Ines,
until now one Of the best preserved
landmarks of the old Spanish days
in California, is threatened after
more than 100 years with destruc-
ton by termites.
Founded in 1904 by the Francis
can missionary, Father Estevan
Tapis, the rambling tile and adobe
structure has withstood the raw
ages of the years we'll. Despite in
surrection, fire, quake, flood and
neglect, which claimed portions OF
the original buildings, there re-
mains standing today the crude
chapel and a half of the living and
executive quarters of what was
once a magnificent ecclesiastical
domain on the sun-browned Cali
fornia hillside.
Within the last decade, however,
billions of termites-tiny wood
eating insects scarcely as large as
antS-have accomplished what wind
and weather and earthquakes fail
Cd to do, and engineers are afraid
the old buildings will not stand for
more than a few more months.
Friends Of the mission CLOS Am
igos de Santa IneS, non-sectar-
ian, countrywide organization. have
planned a series of benefits de-
signed to finance rehabilitation Of
the old Landmark.

No MUNITIONS
ABOARD LINER

NEW YORK. Sept. %. (UP) -
Shipments of munitions aboard the
Ward liner Moro Castle, which
burned September with a loss of
1874 lives, again came under scru-
tiny today at the department of
commerce inquiry into the disaster
M o. Fano, assistant to the first
vice president of the line, listed va
riouS shipments made this year and
testified he was sure none Of the
supplies went to any Cuban faction.
He said, however, the ammunition
might have been used by the gov
ernment against revolving factions.
The Moro Castle did not carry any
munitions on its last trip.
The inquiry, scheduled to end to-
day, also took up the question of
whether the burned ship had suf-
ficient number of Junior officers.
Fano said Capt. Robert r. Will
mott had never complained the YES
sci was undermanned.
Did Captain Willmott ever COM
plain about the second radio oper-
ator, George I. Alagna?" he asked.
DO you know anything about the
captain being afraid of Alagnap"
Nothing whatever" Fano said.
do you know anything about the
round robin, alleged to have been
circulated by Alagna, complaining
of the food?"
"I heard about it.
did any of your company police
take action in the Alagna case
NO"
Have any reports reached you
of the crew being drunkP"
Not while at sea. There have
been reports of drunkenness in Ha-
yana."
Fano added that there was more
drinking among stewards than
among members of the deck and
engine crew.

New York Stocks

NEW YORK. Sept. 28 U.P)-
Market strength in silver and gold
issues, with gains ranging to more
than points, was the main fea-
ture in a dull stock market. The
general list was irregular at the
close.
In London the silver price rose
to a new high since late 1929, ac'
companied by a corresponding rise
in New York to high since early
1929. U. S. government buying in
London was considered partly re-
spo, lsible. The Chinese national
government in a second note to
Washington asked Qualification of
the administration silver plans and
intimated, it is understood, China
might adopt gold standard
against the present silver basis if
such Qualification was not forth
coming.
U. S. Smelling after an easier
first hour, advanced to more than
a 4-point gain. American Smelling
was fractionally higher, Cerro De
Pasco gained more than point,
Howe Sound gained almost 2
points, Dome Mines jumped more
than a point while Mcintyre Por-
cupine at ASH was a point i'm
proved.
Another group to show strength
was tobacco.
Interest in Celanese and Indus
trial Rayon continued strong and
both rose fractionally.
Losses and gains in other divis-
ions were about equally divided.
Trading volume dropped conSid-
erably.
Sales today approximated $4,000
shares against 100000 shares yes
terday. Curb sales were 100000
shares against $4,000 shares yes
terday.
Dow Jones preliminary closing
averages showed industrial 92.49
off O.91, railroad 1922 off 0.40, util-
ity 20.38 off 0.42.

|. A. RECALL
EFFORT FAILS

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 28 U.P)-
Double vindication of three school
board members who faced recall in
special election yesterday 'appar-
emily was assured today when vot-
ers not only defeated the recall
movement but gave all three over
whelming margins over their op-
ponents in the balloting for the
posts had the recall succeeded.
Recall of the board members,
Mrs. Lititia Lytle, William Beaudry
and Arthur Eckman, was support
ed by the Epic News, organ of Up
ton Sinclair, although the guber-
material candidate denied knowl-
edge of articles appearing in the
paper, attacking the board men,
bers.
The recall fight ended a year
and a half of pickering over school
management which followed the
last regular election.
At the same time, voters regis
tered decisive support of the mum
icipal power and light program as
presented in numerous charter
amendments.
The 10 charter amendments asked
by the bureau of power and light,
including one authorizing borrow
ing on money to acquire the elec-
trical facilities of the Los Angeles
Gas and Electric corporation, also
were assured victory, according to
incomplete returns.
A neck-to-neck race on the ques-
ton Of a 40 year contract for gas
companies indicated that the re-
suit might depend on an official
canvass of the vote. In early re-
turns first one side and then the
other would forge slightly ahead.

OFFICIAL SAYS
BABY SELLING
PRON|SCUOUS

LOS ANGELES, Sept. %. U.P)-
Sensational charges that a 'baby
market is operated in Hollywood
by unscrupulouS physicians to de-
fray delivery fees were voiced to-
day by Rheba Crawford Splivalo,
state welfare director, former An
gel of Broadway
Corroborating the report Of Eliz-
abeth Owens, supervisor of the
state department S adoptions bu-
reau. to Gov. Frank F.. Merriam,
Mrs. Splivalo said she had evidence
of 10 newborn babies being sold "
to childlesS couples but that def
mite grounds Cor prosecution were
lacking.
because they lack funds to
hold their babies, unwed mothers
OF IA and Is years are at the mercy
of unscrupulous doctors and veal
thy childless couplestS' Mrs. Spill
valo declared. She said Hollywood
was the California center of the al
legged "baby mart"
1--WE have 10 such cases before
us but lack definite grounds as yet
for prosecution, the welfare di-
rector said. THE market price
for babies range from $50 to 5000,
according to the means of the pur-
chasing parties and the amount of
the bill rendered by the attending
physician. Baby boys command a
higher price, =
The chief stumbling block in the
way of prosecution, she said, was
that most of the children are held
four or five months before adop-
ton proceedings are instituted,
thus forestalling an investigation OF
the child'S history.

Hh|GHT WILL
STAY IN RACE

LOS ANGELES, Sept. %. U.P)-
Raymond L. Haight, Common
wealth. Progressive nominee for
governor, today directed an appeal
to the .'great middle class of vot-
ers' against being frightened by
the "bugaboo of Sinclair created
by the Merriam camp"
Ryeiterating that he has no in
tention Of Withdrawing from the
race, Haight predicted a "clasS
war Of major proportions if eth
er of the major party candidates is
elected.
~ know that the great majority
of the people Of the state are sick
and tired Of being governed by a
group of financial buckarooS. For
that reason, know they will never
place Frank Merriam in the gov
ernor IS chair" Haight declared.
Il believe that that same ma
jority of the people do not desire
to follow the untried extreme of
political and economic change ad-
Vocated by Upton Sinclair.
1T is my firm opinion that this
vast majority ask only that they
be given security in their work,
Justice in the dealings with their
fellow men and common honesty
In government. These are the
things I offer the peope of Cali
fornia.''
Haight claimed he had been ap-
preached with the proposition to
withdraw in favor of Governor
Merriam in exchange for "immed-
late appointment as president Of
the railroad commission. AS a
next step in the proposed deal, he
asserted, he would be appointed to
succeed u. S. Senator Hiram john
son upon the latter's ascendancy
to the u. S. supreme court bench.
Arrangements tor johnson s bench
appointment already have been
agreed on, Haight declared.
Frank Merriam can't beat Sin
clair, Haight or no Haight. the
nominee said, "but Haight can
beat Sinclair, Merriam or no Mer-
Iiam

At PHOENIX

PHOENIX. Ariz Sept 28 U.P-
Threats of an embargo and boycott
against Japanese farm products
today stirred the Salt River valley,
scene of recent violence in the con-
troverSy between American and Or
iental farmers.
Shintaro Fukushima, japanese
vice consul in Los Angeles, arrived
here to investigate the threats and
also to inquire into a statement
attributed to a member of the anti
alien association that Japanese
are going to leave the valley
j. Tomura. secretary Of the jap
anese society of Arizona. charged
that association members warned
local merchants to refuse to buy
farm produce from japanese or to
sell them ice, packing crates and
other supplies. Mexican laborers

were warned against remaining
with their employers, Tomura de-
clared.
Approximately 1000 Mex.cans
will be needed to harvest the fall
lettuce crop of japanese farmers.
Garfield Anderson, American
farm leader, meanwhile asserted

MISSOURI To

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. Sept
.2l. (U.P)-The Missouri Public Ser
vice Commission, in an experiment
believed unique in the United
States, is attempting TO segregate
truck from motor car traffic on
state highways.
Commission Chairman John Cas-
kie Collett is attempting to bar
commercial trucks from a new cut
off built into st. Louis from High
way sc, forcing operators to use the
old road and leaving the new con
crete slab free for the public.
If successful, Collet plans to sep
arate commercial and public auto
mobile traffic wherever possible and
where alternate routes are avail
able.
The novels primarily an attempt
TO reduce automobile deaths in Mis-
souri,. Figures show that an average
of slightly more than two persons
are killed every day in highway
wrecks, many Of them involving
trucks that crowd roads because Of
their large size.
1T is the belief of the commits
sion." Couett said, that the use Of
Missouri highways for commercial
purposes increases the hazards of
those engaged in their use Tor pri-
vate purposes" l."
The commission, Collett said, also
believes the highways, financed by
gasoline and license taxes, were not
constructed for the purposes of ad-
vancing commercial interests, but
were primarily for benefit of the
