HOWEVER, were he now to lead

his contract eventually would be de-
feated.
To make his contract, declarer i'm
mediately should cash dummy's
king and queen of spades, return
a club. lay down the ace Of spades
and discard a heart from dummy.
He then should lead clubs until
West is forced to ruff with his jack,
and West is helpless.
If he returns a heart, the declarer
will ruff with the eight of spades
and will have a diamond to get into
dummy and make all the good
clubs-he never needs his ace of
diamonds.
If the declarer were to lead a
diamond at trick two, West would
not ruff with his jack of spades
until South was exhausted Of clubs
and now the declarer would have
no way of getting into dummy to
make all the good clubs. Thus his
contract would be defeated.

ORTELSBURG, Germany. June %.
The return Of Wilhelm zapka,
listed among the World Wars miss
ing for more than 19 years, was
marked by happy festivities here
today.
Baked in his attempt to escape
from Russia, where he was taken
prisoner in 1915, Zapka tried in vain
for many years to communicate with
the German foreign Office. Letters he
wrote home did not reach their
destination.
Two weeks ago the announcement
of his impending return was finally
reported to village authorities.
Instantly plans were under way to
give him happy homecoming. The
festivities eliminated in ceremony
in which the burgomaster erased
Zapkas name from the war memorial
in the nearby village of Montwitz, in
the presence of the whole community.
Zapka wept as he stood watching the
scene with his 19-year-old son by his
side.

SLIM HOPE SEEN =
FOR LIQUOR FUND.
Virginia Localities Face A.
B. c. Boards Extensive
Opening Costs.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Va, June 23.-It is
possible that Virginia localities may
get slice from the legal liquor profits
this year, but A. p. Clarke, spokes-
man for the Alcoholic Beverage Con-
troll Board, said today that the board
thinks the chances are pretty slim.
During the period from the boards
inception, March % to June IA, the
total A. B. C. gross receipts amounted
to $425, 1929, while In the same period
it spent $793,314.e5 for hard liquor
stocks, and $1O3.S3O.99 for wines. 1t
vas pointed out that a great initial
expenditure was necessary to provide
stocks for the State stores, which are
being opened at the rate of about
three a week, and that until May Is
no store was in operation.
Average Gross Income.
In Richmond, where five stores now
are in operation, four of them since
May Is, the average gross income has
been approximately $500 per store
week. The board figures on an aver
age 10 per cent net profit.
In Norfolk, the second city in which
stores we're opened, the two stores
have averaged approximately $500
per store week gross profit.
The law provides that the localities
arc to participate IN the profits. only
after the State uses 81 ,675, 900 for
general fund budget balancing pur-
poses.
Under the best estimates, which
Mr.. Clarke said, were more or less
premature, the net profit during the
first year will reach no more than the
million -and-a-half mark.
Cost of Overhead.
1t was pointed out that the over
head for Office furnishings. etc, was
to be amortized over the life of the
article.
The board thus far has opened five
stores in Richmond, two in Norfolk,
one at Virginia Beach. one in Ports
mouth. one in Newport News. one in
Hampton, one in Hot Springs. two in
Roanoke. two IN Lynchhurg and two
in Petersburg
In the near future the board plans
to open two more stores in Norfolk.

Ickes Complaint Filed.
In a letter placed in the record of
the committee yesterday, Secretary
Ickes enumerated dozens of instances
in which contractors were alleged to
have required employees to return part
of the wages paid them.
Among the cases, all of which have
been referred to the Treasury, the
letter said. were five involving work
on post office buildings in New York
Ickes mentioned a complaint that
$4,262.15 had been taken in wage
"kickbacks" by the paint subcontractor
on the New York post Office last
year; that another company required
plasterers working on the same build
ing to return $3.50 day of their pay;
and that third company, floor sub
contractors on the same New York
project, paid workers so cents an hour
instead of the prescribed 81.
The Interior chief said still another

carpenters were paid only so cents an

building at Mitchell Field, Long Island

Reference also was made to COM
plants that employees of tile works
company in the vicinity of New York
had been forced to live in an apart
ment building owned by the en-
ployers.
Rentals on these apartments -
Ickes' letter said, "are higher than
average and it is claimed that this
in effect, is means of receiving
'kickbacks'.'
San Francisco and Philadelphia
were enumerated as places where COM
plants had been made and evidence
found of "kickbacks," under payment
and other violations of the wage and

The situation outlined by Wright
Immediately was taken under con-
sideration by A. R. CLANCY, an N. R.
A. administrator.
At Hartman, Tom Tarwater, gen.
eral manager of the Hartman Hosiery
Mills, said mill officials would discuss
the mills problems at a Knoxville
meeting with Wright.
He said the mill had not been run
ming full force lately, but attributed
1t to a seasonal slump.
Simultaneously, it was reported in
labor circles that Wright's latest re-
conciliation offer was not as accept
able as previous offers made by the
Hartman mills.
N. R. AS attitude was that it did
work if it could be avoided. The
final decision was up to Hugh S. john
son, who was confined in a hospital
with an abSceSS.
Senator Wagner of New York, the
Labor Board chairman, also has re-
ferred the case to Attorney General
Cummings. johnson said recently
he awaited ruling from Cummings.
Strike Called in October.
The Hartman mills strike was
called October 26 after alleged dis
missals of employees for union ac-
tivities. Both the National and At
lanta Labor Regional Boards at
tempted to settle the dispute. On
January 10 the Labor Board said the
company had promised Ito bargain
collectively with the representatives
chosen by its employees"
Early in February the Labor Board
in a statement said the company S
rejection of an agreement with its
employees "impugns the good faith of
the company and is indicative of a
desire to perpetuate discord, foster
industrial unrest and to obstruct the
forces of recovery"
In March the board said "the
Hartman hosiery mills has infringed
the rights of its employees to bargain
collectively through representatives of
their own choosing, as recognized by
section IA of N I. R. A., by enter
ing into negotiations with bad faith,
with the definite intention not to
make any agreement with the repre-
sentatives of its employees" This
finding was transmitted to johnson
and Cummings and johnson later
ordered the Blue Eagle removed.
The company contends that of $50
employees who walked out, 149 have
been reinstated, while 80 other workers
have been taken on the pay roll.
