EXEMPTION PERMITTED
FOR HIGHER OFFICIALS
Hazen Declares There Is No Sig.

The Civil Service Commission block
ed an effort by the District Commits
sioners to obtain the privilege OF
naming 80 important municipal Of
ficials without regard to civil service
examination rules that apply to other
local officials, it was disclosed today
The problem arose in connection
with the campaign of the Commis-
sioners to have free hand" in the
appointment Of their department
heads. That part of the request for
amendment of the agreement between
the District and the Civil Service
Commission was approved, as revealed
Saturday, but the plea for exemp-
ton of deputy officials was denied.
Declared Not Significant.
Melvin C. Hazen, president Of the
Board Of Commissioners. apparently
somewhat disturbed over the publicity
given to the amendment of the exam
ination rule, insisted today there was
no significance to the change. He
declared it merely made official a
practice that had been followed for
more than a year. that 1t had been
the understanding in the past that
when new department heads were ap-
pointed they did not have to be drawn
from the list of persons who had
taken the civil service examinations
At the same time it was learned
that officials Of the Civil Service
Commission had criticized" the Dis
trict for ignoring the list Of civil
service elgibles in appointment Of new
department heads.
The situation apparently boils down
to this: That the change in rules will
prove significant, If national politica
leaders seize upon it as an excuse tc

ousted to make way for deserving

Questioned as to his whereabouts on
the night of the ransom payment, the
stolid German carpenter. after some
hesitation, said he had spent all that
day and night at the home OF Ger

investigators succeeded in locating
the couple designatd by Hauptmann,
and they fatty denied that Hauptmann
had been at their home or in their
company at any time of the day or
night of April 2, when "Jafsie" hand
ed the box of ransom money over
cemetery hedge to a man resembling
Hauptmann.
On further interrogation 1t is said.
the man and woman gave authorities
some important information regard
ing Hauptmann and his friends, the
nature of which has not been dis
closed. Oficials have indicated. how
ever, that this information has vital
bearing on the damaging case being
constructed against Hauptmann by
the prosecution.
DIR. Condor Not Certain.
On the night in question Col. Lind
bergh drove Condor to the East Tre-

Cemetery. the Bronx-a few blocks
from Hauptmann's home-to keep a
final rendezvous with John" the
sandy haired man of Teutonic accent

the kidnapers
DR. Condor announced after view

but prosecuting officials have hinted
that Condor may give extremely in

mann in the extortion trial.
Legal experts declare Hauptmann' s
chief hope of escape from the tightly
drawn net of evidence woven around
him by investigators in the extortion
case is an alibi proving beyond a
doubt he could not have been at St
Raymonds Cemetery on the night of
the ransom payment.
Discovery of the two secret wit

therefore is hailed as a most valu-
able asset to Bronx County officials
in their case against the indicted car

255 CO ON STRIKE
ATL|BRARY ANNEX
Union Dispute Enters New
Phase With WaIk0ut
at Noon Today.

More than 255 union labor work
men on the Library of Congress annex
we're called of the job at noon today
on strike. but efforts still were under
way Immediately afterward to settle
the strike and bring the men back to
the job.
David Lynn. architect of the Capt.
tol. predicted that negotiations under
way this afternoon probably would
adjust the matter so that the men
could resume work tomorrow morn
ing He did not go into the merits
of the situation nor discuss the issues
at stake.
Claim Nom Union Men at Work.
Union leaders said the strike was
in protest against D. Catalano & Son,
another contractor. who is using nom
union labor to dig tunnel which will
connect the old Library of Cor greSS
with the new annex Union labor
struck on Catalano's job last week
because he was using some non-union
laborers along with union steam shovel
operators.
The union ultimatum was delivered
by delegation of organized labor from
the Washington Building Trades Coun-
Gil. to the contractor and to Govern
ment officials Of the ONCE of architect
Of the Capitol.
The controversy between organized
labor and Catalano has been under
way for a long time. since Catalano
was brought before the District Com
missioners on charges Of forcing his
workmen on a District of Columbia
school to kick back" part of their
wages.
The position of the Washington
Building Trades Council, as explained
by John Locher. secretary, now is that
Catalano has violated a part of his
contract which forbids him to embar-
rass the other previous contractor on
the job-the John McShain Co. Inc
which is constructing the foundation
for the annex.
Contract Totals Over Million.
McShain, who has a contract fol
more than a million dollars, has been
at work on the foundation for about
six months, and is using union labor
Catalano was awarded the tunnel con-
tract. and when he proceeded to use
non-union labor along with union men
the organized building trades struck
the tunnel job.
The tunnel. Locher explained, run,
from the old to the new library build
ing, and is therefore considered as
work on the same lot, although they
! are two separate contracts.
Catalano has claimed that under
his contract he had a right to use
non-union labor. He was awarded the
contract after the matter had beer
submitted to Controller General Nc
Carl, who approved award Of the
contract to Catalano.

Contract Bridge

remember, all rules have their ex-
ceptions.
You know that the declarer is
trying to knock out you partners
entry, and what good is your king
of hearts if the declarer holds the
ace, queen, jack? And you have
lost nothing if he holds only the
ace-queen.
OF course, if your partner held
the jack-ten of hearts, you might
drop a trick by going up with the
king, but then the declarer would
have held four hearts originally and
would have had heart bid.
So your proper play is to jump
right in with the king of hearts,
hoping in this way to conserve your
partners entry. Of course your
king holds and you return the three
of spades which South wins with
the ace, discarding the three of
! clubs from the dummy.
Now, to make game, declarer must
still establish heart trick, and the
moment he tries to do that West
wins with the ace and cashes two
good spade tricks.
If East had failed to put in his
king of hearts, the declarer would
have knocked out Vests ace of
hearts Immediately. West would
have returned a spade, but the de-
clarer would be in and would then
have enough good heart tricks to
cash and win game.

Solution to Previous
Contract Problem
BY w. E. M'KENNEY

Secretary American Bridge League
THE holdup is strategic play
i available on great many
hands, and one that can be used to
good advantage.
However, when it is employed by
the declarer, the opposition should
Immediately get on its toes to find
out if there is any way to overcome
this play.
In today's hand, for example,
West opens a small spade, declarer
plays low from dummy, East plays
the jack, and the declarer can win
either the first or second round.
However, if he wins the first round
with the king, he just holds off the
second spade trick.
But let us say that he refuses
to win the first trick. East will
return the nine of spades, which
is won in dummy with the king.
East now knows that the declarer
refused to win that first trick to
prevent West from running off his
good spades, and that the next
thing the declarer is going to do
is try to knock out Vests entry.
TINE declarer's next play is a
l. small heart from dummy.
What card would you play if you
held the East hand2 You might
say, well, second hand low" But

If you object to the answers you
read / nthis column, you are welcome
to say so. The best letters will be
published. Write yours today!
Dear Jane Jordan-As a rule I
agree with your answers though
sometimes I think you are little
hard For example, the other night
a woman wrote that her 66-year-
old father started to WOO another
woman three months after her
mothers death. Within a year
and half they were married, and
the daughter would not speak to
the new wife. You said she had
planned to take her mothers
place for the security it offered,
and that she was reSentful toward
the woman who took it away
from her.
While I believe this to be true,
it seems to me her intentions were
good. Why shouldn't a daughter
want to take care of her old
father? Didn't he show his own
ShalloWness by chasing off after
another woman so soon? The
daughters instincts were more de-
cent than the father's-don't you
think so?
INQUIRER.
Answer-The truth is often hard
to face, but presumably that is what
people want when they write to the
column. I can and do Sympathize
