The Play
 On the defense, when West open- the king of diamonds, East should play the deuce, asking his partnei to discontinue that suit. West should say to himself, "If my part ner wants me to discontinue dia- monds, as his play of the deuce clearly indicates. to what suit. does he want, me to shife? He must want me to lead through strength. . < Therefore. West should lead the ten of clubs. the jack is played from dummy, and East wins the trick with the queen.

NRA WIRE CODE
DRAWS FIRE Of
NEWS GROUPS

News associations today Joined
with the telegraph industry in pro
testing against the NRA wire code
Suit to test the validity of the
MIRA has been threatened by West
ern Union officials if a code is i'm
posed.
George T. Hargreaves, vice presi
dent of International News Serv
ice and Universal Service, declared
at the code hearing:
Wording of Section 4, Article
7, as it stands, we believe, takes
away from the press the wire
rate basis on which it has been
operating for many years. 1t is
our proposal that this section
be amended by adding the fol.
lowing words:
This section shall not apply
to any rates on service furnished
by communications companies
to the press
PAPERS WOULD SUFFER
! Briefly here is the situation:
international News Service
serves a large number of after
noon newspapers with a daily
news report delivered by leased
wire.
Universal Service serves a
large number of morning news
papers with a nightly news re.
port delivered by leased wire.
international News Service
also serves large number of
newspapers both in Europe and
the Orient with a daily news
report delivered by cable.
Both leased wires and ca
D!es have, in the history of
1.N.S. for the past rs years,
been paid for at press rates.
"Any attempt to increase
these charges would make it
impossible for many of the
client papers to pay them and
would result either in the fl
nancial crippling of the papers
to a point where they would
have to suspend or they would
have to reduce the volume of
their news report so greatly
that the value to the reader
would be greatly curtaiIed with
an inevitable loss in circulation.
COST OF 100000 SEEN
"A rough computation shows
that If International News Serv-
ice and Universal Service were
deprived Of the press rate on
leased wires and were forced
to pay for them on a common
commercial basis, it would in
crease our present costs by
100000 a year.
IF our services were deprived
Of the press rate on telegraph
tolls, cables and wireless, our
costs, we estimate, would be in
creased by $45O,0OO a year, or
an aggregate increase of nearly
three quarters of a million dol
lars yearly.
Neither our two services nor
our client newspapers could as
sumo this additional burden in
the present condition of the
newspaper business"
