Solution to Previous
Contract Problem
BY w. E. M'KENNEY
Secretary American Bridge League

Secretary American Bridge League
II HAVE selected today's hand
Il from the book of that great
player, Louis H. Watson, entitled
watson on the Play of the Hand
at Contract Bridge" He is recog-
nized as one of the best card play
ers of the country.
Watson states that in bridge there
is no such thing as hopeless hand.
He says that no matter how dis
couraging the prospect looks at first
glance, there is always some chance
of developing sufficient tricks.
In today's hand it is necessary
to duck twice to establish suit in
dummy. Sometimes such a play
may seem rather hopeless unless
you give proper weight to possibil-
tiles of distribution.
THE opening lead is the queen of
l. diamonds. When you take stock
of the situation, you will find that
you have exactly seven high card
tricks. Your only long suit is
hearts, so you attack this suit with
out delay.
Of course, you must be careful
not to take the ace of hearts out
of dummy at once. as it will elm
mate the only entry in that hand.
Therefore, you lead small heart,
West plays the deuce, the four is
played from dummy, and East wins
with the queen.
He returns the nine of diamonds
and this time you must play low.

Miss Petri attended Sarah Lawrence
college, where she added to her
background of dramatic experience.
She studied stage mechanics and
eagerly read modern and classic
dramas.
When she was at Tudor Hall she
was one of the charter members of
the Masquers Club and played the
heroine in many of its plays.
The Beach theater draws its
audiences from fashionable resorts
in the vicinity of Cape Cod. New
plays will be tried out, and plays
already established in the favor of
the theater-goers will comprise the
summer fare.
Miss Petri, of course, is wondering
what roles she will be assigned to
play in casts which will include
such stars as Rose Hobart, Ilka
Chase, Margalo Gilmore, Earl Lari-
more, Walter Slevak and Hilda
Stong.
Miss Petri appeared at the Com

per day, the financial saving
under non-jury trial is con-

Then there is also to be con.
sidered the advantage to So
ciety accruing under such a
practice. BY the supporters Of
the nonjury trial in cases where
the defendant is given and eX-
ercises the right to waive a
jury trial for a trial before a
Judge, it is contended that Gus
tice will more likely be meted
out and the prestige of our ju.
dietary strengthened"
Commend Practice,
Chief Justice William M. Malt
bic, of the Supreme Court Of
Connecticut, made a study a
few years ago of the waiver Of
jury trial in mis- State. He
found that judges, attorneys.
and prosecutors we're virtually
unanimous in their commenda.
ton of the practice as de-
sirable from every point Of
view. Of 799 criminal cases
which he looked into, 316 trials
with a jury and 483 trials with
out a jury, he found that in the
one case convictions were OBJ
tanned in 76 per cent of the
trials and in the other case in
IA per cent of the trials. In
Connecticut the record shows
that jury trial is most apt to
be waived in cases where the
defense is technical.
According to the University
of Chicago survey, IS per cent
of the judges and 81 per cent
of the prosecutors and 86 per
cent of the attorneys in Ohio,
who were recently sounded on
the subject, strongly favor the
practice which permits waiver
of jury trial.
Among the organizations, in
terested in improving criminal
procedure, which commend the
practice of allowing the defend
ant to waive jury trial under
certain conditions are the Ma
tional Crime Commission, the
New York State Crime Com
mission, the California Crime
Commission, the Illinois Crime
Survey and the National Com
mission on Law Observance.
The practice is also included in
the model code of criminal
procedure drafted for the Amer
ican Law Institute, which is
encouraging the adoption Of
uniform criminal code by the
several States.
The more the States emulate
the example of Great Britain.
Canada, Maryland and the other
States of the Federal Union
which permit non-jury trials.
the greater will become the re-
sponsibility Of the judges be-
fore whom non-jury trials are
held. If the increasing popu-
larity of this practice will
strengthen the demand for the
appointment and election Of
judges of the highest caliber,
that will be another argument
in favor of the more extensive
resort throughout the Union to
non-jury trials where the de-
fendant valves his right and
no objection by the prosecutor
is offered.

The Washington times., 1934-05-03

One of the reasons why so
many crimes in this country go
unpunished and so many crimi-
nails remain at large is to be
found in "the laws delays"
The wheels of justice in State
after State are clogged today by
the monkey wrenches of litiga-
ton. Instead of seeking, as Of
ficers of the court, to aid the
administration of justice, many
unscrupulous lawyers abuse
their professional privileges by
incubating litigation to defeat
the ends of justice.
One of the changes in Grim
inal procedure which is finding
increasing favor today among
those who are striving to reduce
the laws delays is that of Waiv"
ing jury trial for felonies and
misdemeanors. This practice is
not of recent or exclusively
American origin. 1t has been
resorted to in several States
since the early days of the Re-
public and is extensively en-
ployed in Great Britain and
Canada. Maryland has per-
mitted it since the seventeenth
century, and Louisiana and GER
tain territories have frequently
permitted this substitution of
one honest judge for twelve
good men," New Jersey and
Indiana adopted it at the begin.
ming of this century and Con-
necticut about 1921.
Growing Demand
A recent survey made by Ken.
meth j. Martin and Daniel D.
Swinney of the University of
Chicago reveals a growing de-
mand that this practice be ex-
tended to other States of the
Union. The results of their
survey appear in the current
journal of the American Legis-
lators Association, "State Gov
ernment."
Here are several of the ad.
vantages to which this practice
gives rise, as cited by these two
students of the problem:
"The basic theory of permit
ting the accused to waive jury
rial is that it is advantageous
to the accused, to the State and
to society for him to do so. A
person accused of crime may
prefer to be tried before a Judge
in whom he has confidence,
rather than before jury whom
he considers OtO be unqualified
to mete out justice, especially if
there is danger of race preju'
dice.
I'm the absence of a jury
trial, the press will be less likely
to give him undue publicity,
and his case will be handled
with great celerity. Further
more, the waiver is of distinct
advantage to the poor man who
cannot secure bail, for he will
usually be able to get an earlier
trial.
"The outstanding advantage
to the State of the nOn-jury
trial is economy in time and
money. 1t will nOminally re"
quire One-third as many days
as will a jury trial of the
same case. With the average

} current. The robbers must have
climbed the steel towers, risking
instant death, to cut loose the
heavy wires.
Stealing a single automobile
is no longer profitable, because
three out of four are recovered
by detectives. But taking a job
lot is another matter. A patrol
man in Newark, N. j., stopped
on his beat to admire the bright
new cars in large showroom.
When, some hours later, he
again passed the windows, every
car had vanished. Fifteen of
them, the entire stock, had been
removed, and the lock was un-
broken. That would have been a
good case for Sherlock Holmes
himself.

stamn, a lawyer of Newark, N.
j., had a most weird experience.
He repaired his two and one
half story frame house, built a
new fence around it, and offered
it for rent. A month later when
he went to look at it, he found
only the, celler left.
Railroad and Tunnel
But all these instances of
thievery fade into insignificarce
before the exploits of European
masters. In one small country,
a firm was employed to build a
tunnel, in territory formerly
Austrian. For seven years regu-
lar reports showed the progress
of the tunnel, men employed,
material removed, and so on.
The Government paid the con.
tract price, and at the grand
opening officials found a few
workmen cleaning up the de.
bris.
An engineer, celebrating too
boisterously the completion Of
his arduous task, proved the
undoing of these contractors" |"
He revealed that the tunnel
had been dug years previously
by Austrian and German
troops, who had abandoned it
when the war front shifted.
The firm had received five and
a half million dollars for dig
ging a hole in the ground that
already existed.
If that seems incredible,
what of the discovery an.
nounced by the Prime Minister
Of Rumania? He reported that
an entire railroad-rails, ties,
switches, spikes, even rolling
stock and signal system-had
completely disappeared. Con-
