On the other hand, there is the attitude of such Republican lead CTS as McNary of Oregon, floor boss of the Senate.
 All Republicans look alike to me" he stated on the eve of the convention of Congress, and there has been no indication since that he has changed his views.
 Many believe if peace is to be restored among Republicans and the independent wing of the party McNary is perhaps among those best qualified to do it. l The reticence of Democratic lead CTS in Washington is understand able, since, for many of them at least, serious attempt to amalga- mate permanently the Republican 'left-wingers" might involve loss or impairment of their own party po- sitions at home.

saying that MY friend at the ad-

The first lord of the admiralty
stated that he had made a full

The next Congress is expected

I'VE are not surprised at the

restoration at too late a date.
Restoration should be made

living costs may be by July 1.
They are and have been for
some months rising rapidly, and
there is no provision in the
economy act for increasing sal
aries over the basic rates in the
event of an abnormal rise in
living costs.

Mr.. Conservative (North) studied
his hand thoughtfully. The hand is
a bare minimum defensive opening,
due to the fact that he held strength
in both major suits. but, for some
reason or other, he decided that he
didn't want to bid either of his weak
four-card suits. Naturally, the hand
cannot be opened with one no trump,
so Mr.. Conservative was hard put to
ii to find something else to say. He
finally bid one club. thinking that
he would eventually be able to steer
the declaration away from that suit,
and hoping for a one-over-one in
either hearts or spades.
Mr.. Aggressive made a bad over
call of two clubs, thinking that Mr..
Conservative had made a psychic
opening and objecting strenuously to
any one else at the table bidding
psychics. Mr.. Aggressive is the type
OF player who wants to indicate right
away that you aren't fooling him for
one minute, no matter how such in
dication may affect his score.
South at this point hadn't the least
idea what was going on. She had
been prepared to double any overcall
East made. but this two-club bid baf-
fed her. Naturally, she assumed that
North had real club bid even If the
suit were only four cards in length,
and she finally decided that East was
prepared to rescue himself in another

show a fairly strong hand Hoping
