REGULATION is HIT
BY WESTERN UNION
President of Company Says New
Commission Should Have
Jurisdiction.
BY the Associated Press.

BY lhe Associated Press.
The Recovery Administra ton s
move to regulate the telegraph indus
try by code was aSsailed yesterday
by r. B. White, president of the
Western Union Telegraph Co., in urg-
ing that new commission have ex-
elusive jurisdiction over communica
ton systems
Testifying before the House Com
merce Committee on the Rayburn bill
to create the commission. White said
the issues before the N. r. A. had ex-
listed for years and they have not
suddenly acquired an urgency that
justifies summary action by the re-
covery administration.
He said Western Union could ad-
just itself to the proposed legislation,
but that "if there is to be a communi-
cations commission We think it should
be made plain in the law that its
jurisdiction to deal with such matters
is exclusive
'If these matters are to be regulated
by the recovery administration. there
is surely no need Of communications
commission while that condition
lasts"
Legislation to permit consolidation
Of telegraph services was advocated
yesterday before the committee by
Sosthenes Behn, president Of the In
ternational Telephone & Telegraph
Co.
Behn said companies he repre-
sented favored transferring admins
tration of existing laws to a new
agency, but advocated that it be re-
quired to make a complete study of
the communications business before
further legislation Is enacted.

such payments as crop insurance

SILVER MEASURE
LIKELIHOOD GROWS
Roosevelt and Congress.
sionaI Silver Advocates
Come Closer on Bill.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt and congress
sional silver advocates were so near
together today on a bill for rehabili-
tation Of silver that legislation at this
session appeared certain.
Both Senate silverites and the
White House were in apparent agree
ment for a declaration Of policy by
Congress definitely fixing silver as a
part of the national monetary basis
at a ratio of not less than Is per cent
against rs per cent gold.
The remaining trouble, II any. lay
In whether there should be straight
out direction or whether mere discre-
ton would be left with the President
to carry out this mandatory PROPOSE
ton. The White House has indi-
Gated Mr.. Roosevelt would insist on
the actual steps being left to his
discretion.
Farley Raises Hopes.
Even the most skeptical members
of the unofficial Senate Silver Com
mittee were appreciably more hopeful
of satisfactory results after yester-
days meeting with Secretary Nor
genthau.
The Treasury Secretary, who was
represented as having made some con-
ceSsiOnS, was expected to take the
silver problem back to the White
House over the week end for flna,
conference.
The silver bloc probably will cal
on the President next week to discus,

Senator King, Democrat OF Utah
chairman of the group, said the parley
made yesterday.
Senator Adams, Democrat OF Colorado
one Of the confereeS, said Morgenthau
was willing to have the policy declara
ton state that the Treasury be ''au-
thoriZed and directed" to buy silver
to reach the 25-75 ratio and indicated
this would be acceptable to the Presi-
dent.
"Of course" he added. "the actual
carrying out Of the program-the time
and amount of the purchases up to
the Is per cent-Would be left TO the
discretion Of the President and the
Secretary"

Oklahoma, who changed his attitude
after yesterdays meeting from one OF
dark pessimism to belief that I'VE
will get a bill. a satisfactory bill,
said he received the impression the
policy clause would contain no man
datory language, but that the ad-
ministration would consider it as such
and would do something to carry it
out.
Senator Borah, Republican, OF
Idaho, who walked out of the first
meeting denouncing its "permissive'
trend was a little more enthusiastic,
but still dubious.

upon" he said. We certainly are

This fact, related closely to the

between the two embattled nations has

CONTRACT BRIDGE
 By VIM. E. MCKINNEY Secretary of the American Bridge League
Expert Shows A Squeeze David Burnstine, Champion Tournament Player, Shuns Finesse And
 Makes A Small Slam,

There are two types of bridge players, the money players and the tournament players. Peculiar as it may seem, many fine tourna- ment players are not exceptionally big money players, and a good money player doesn't always make a good tournament player.
 David Burnstine has won for himself the title Of outstanding tournament player of the country Tor the last three years. When ever he enters a tournament, it is safe to bet that he will finish among he first five and, generally, you'H find him on top.
 Even in his worst games you will never find him, at the end of the tournament, with a score be- low average.
 Since he and his teammates won the Vanderbilt tournament in New York, recently, they have discussed the possibility of disbanding their team, as they believe it is too strong and discourages other teams from entering the contests. Burn stine is a very accurate and careful player. Here's nice squeeze play he made in recent tournament.
 The Play
 West opened the ace of diamonds to prevent the discard of a possi-
The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-12-29

ble singleton diamond on a spade. When the acc held, West continued with the queen of diamonds, which Burnstine won in dummy with tEe king, discarding club.
 Some players might foolishly start out to set the spades, but Burnstine saw that he did not have enough trump entries to do that.
 He decided against the club finesse because West had made a vulnerable overcall and. therefore, must hold the king of clubs. So, the only chance he had to make his contract was by squeeze play. Therefore, Burnstine took >six rounds of hearts on which West discarded three diamonds and the dummy two clubs and two spades it was immaterial what East played.
 Now, three rounds of spades were taken and, on the third round, West, must bear down to the singleton king of clubs and the jack of diamonds.
 So Burnstine leads a club anl, as he has kept track of Vests hand, he plays the ace and drops the blank king, which esta blishes his queen.
