planted to forests. Thus the preven-
ton Of soil erosion leads to the de-
velopment of forest policy.
Partly as the result of soil erosion.
there is not enough farming land
available in this region to occupy the
time Of the rural population. In
many districts there is great poverty.
1t is necessary to work out q balance
between agriculture and industry. to
help people to develop small indus
tries for supplying home needs, and
perhaps to work out cooperative
management for production, distribu-
ton and consumption. Here planning
will be concerned with social and eco
nomic organization.
Some Occupations Crowded.
I'm this region, as in many other
parts Of the United States, there is
very great overproduction of lawyers.
storekeepers, teachers, real estate
men, and certain other standard call
ingS, whereas much other necessary
work is left entirely undone.
"One Of the problems Of social and
economic planning is the better bal
ancing Of occupations and the helping
of young people to see fields in which
they might better work. For instance,
the prevention of soil erosion would
provide careers for number OF
young engineers. Irrigation for spe-
cial crops would provide other careers.
The development Of co-operatives
for farmers and small manufacturers
would provide a new but promising
calling. The country needs young
men who will become specialists in
community organization 1t needs
others who will organize the police
and safety facilities of entire regions.
At present villages and small cities
have not united their police facilities
to any considerable degree. Such CO.
ordinated effort might largely reduce
certain kinds of crime.
THE development of local forests
for small communities would provide
calling for a considerable number
of young men. Community recreation
is now on purely commercial basis.
There is room for careers in that
field. There Is room for the organiza-
ton of co-operatives among small in
dustries, to provide themselves with
modern accounting and business
management, so that they can COM
pete more successfully with large Or
ganization There are possible
careers for many men in working out
such co-operatiVe service"

Reports of Enormous Income
Brings Tax and Lobby
Investigation Threat.
BY the Associated Press.

by lnc hSSOCldIcu FIcSS.
A study Of everything from lobby
ing activities to income tax returns
was promised yesterday by Represent
ative Delaney, Democrat, of New
York, chairman of the House Naval
subcommittee, which this week will
look into the question of what profits
airplane manufacturers have been
making on Navy contracts.
After discussing with Navy Depart
ment officials an audit they have
made Of the manufacturers books
Delaney said in statement:
THE committee will make de-
mand for the income tax reports of
these companies
And he added that the committee
was "desirous of finding out If there
has been an organized lobby here in
Washington which contacts the Navy
Department regarding the purchase
of these airplanes."
Recalling that the Appropriations
Committee had heard of profits as
high as As per cent, he predicted that
"if this is so. We shall recommend a
change in the law to prohibit such
extravagant profits"
1T is the intention of the commit
tee Delaney continued, ITO ask all
the airplane and engine manufac-
turers to appear to find out definitely
if these enormous profits have been
made by their companies, among
which will be the Wright Aeronautical
Co., the Whitney Co, the Boe-
ing Airplane Co, the Chance Vought
Corporation. the Grumann Aircraft
Engineering Co. and the Curtiss
Aeroplane e. Motor Co."
Delaney conceded to newspaper
men that his committee did not have
the power to subpoena witnesses or
documents, but said he was sure
that if one company is accused Of
making exorbitant profits it will be
willing to tell us how and why
"OtherWise," he said. lit will have
nothing but a black mark"

East anu WeSI were NuIlltld dUlc.
The contracts ranged all the way
from six hearts redoubled. played by
West, to seven spades played by East.
and three clubs doubled. played by
North What was bid at remote
place in Alaska to which the Is hands
of the worldwide tourney went by
dog sled, has not been ascertalned.
One high ranking New York expert,
sitting East bid seven spades.
West has a sound vulnerable opening
of one heart. Such strong two
suter would give a player hopes of

three clubs by North, after West bids
q heart is in order.
At most tables the bidding started
that way and then varied. At many

hearts. trying to make East choose
between the two suits and reading

Mistically.

CARDS the hand as good illustration

three clubs; East, four spades all pass.
Here is the official explanation:
1T requires some restraint on
Vests part to refrain from showing
his second suit, but he should realize
the danger of further experiment on
freaks of this type. The hand is
made by peculiar series of plays.
East's only chance becomes obviously
the possibility that South has no clubs

void becomes almost a certainty when
South fails to open the suit after his
partners bid Declarer's play against

four rounds of spades and then throw
South in with a deuce of spades
