LONERGAN WILL
 DELAY CHOOSING
 OF POSTMASTER
Senator May Leave Choice With Town COnlmit-
 tee of Waterbury

Should the appointment of a local postmaster be delayed Is Washington, there will be consid- erable interest attached to the re- turn of John H. Crary, chairman of the democratic town committees and who is now enjoying a Medi- terranean cruise. Cards have been received during the past few days from Madeira, Nice and other points at which the town commit tee chairman has gone ashore.
 Since the appointment rests in the hands of Senator Augustine Lonergan, it will be to him that the town committee will indicate it's choice between Acting Postmas- ter James T. Kelley and Commis- sioner Charles Babin, the two eli- gible candidates. The town com mittee. it is understood, has yet made no choice and will not make one until MT Crary returns.
 Senator Lonergan, it is. believed. will follow whatever recommen- dation the town committee makes. should it decide to make a choice between the candidates, both of whom are highly popular in party ranks.
 Both Aspirants Popular
 AS the situation shapes up now. those on the sidelines who claim good political judgment, are willing to wager that the appointment will go eventually to MT Kelley, the

 So far the names mentioned have been those of ex-Senator Lewis $. Reed, Attorney J. William Carroll and Attorney George J. Crocicchia.

 Those seeking to have Attorney Weisuaan take the nomination in- sist that his presence on the ticket would bring a large Jewish vote. Most of the Jewish vote of the city is located in the 18th senatorial district, which takes in the first, sec0nd and third wards.
 Attorney Crocicchia has made 1t plain that he will wage a. primary battle, if necessary, to test out the question of whether or not he is strong enough to procure the nomination. Attorneys Weisman and Carroll and ex-Senator Reed are remaining back for the mean time, awaiting advices from the party leaders so that. when the 18th senatorial district convention is held by the republicans it will tend to. promote harmony and eventual victory for the g. o. p.

Waterbury's actual cash outlay for workers for the CWA, while amounting to $410,000, does not include all the relief expenses for the city carried out by the federal relief administration. In addition, the administration passed out tons and tons of foodstuffs.
 Half Million Dollars
 Between the pay and the value of the foodstuffs, the federal out lay for the city proper, since the program was instituted, reaches to about half-million dollars.
 The CWA expired at noon, to- day. Disbursing Agent Harder was winding up his work today and making final entries on his books. When Monday arrives and with the EZRA in charge 1t is possible that new orders will come in shifting the disbursing department to new hands. This was not definitely known up to noon today. however.

COME players might make the
~ mistake, on the second round, OF
making a constructive bid Of two
diamonds over two clubs, hoping
that this bid would force partner
to keep the bidding open.
But the danger is that partner
may have four diamonds and, be-
lieving that he now has a fit with
your hand. will support it, and then
you never are able to get into his
hand
West, naturally, refuses to lead
away from his ace-queen of clubs
and open the king of hearts, which
South wins with the ace and then
picks up the outstanding trump. He
then casheS the ace, king and queen
of diamonds.
His only hope for an extra trick
now is to try to throw West into
the lead, and force him to lead
up to the king of clubs. But West
wisely plays the ten of hearts on
the next trick.
East must overtake the trick with
the jack to lead a club-otherwise,
four-odd would be made.
Many players might make the
mistake of not overtaking their
partners ten with the jack, but this,
indeed, would be a careless play, as
partner had refused to open the
suit that he bid, which shows that
he must have held a tenace position
in it.
