STRIKING 4 SNAG

Plans of the administration 10 end direct
relief by November /, through speeding
up the WPA program, announced from
Washington yesterday. have already
struck snag
The speeding up of the WPA is en-
countering difficulties through a strike
called in the east by union labor which
is protesting the WPA wage scale which
calls for subsistence wages, instead of
the prevailing wage scale
Union leaders point out that the WPA
scale in some cases Is as much as 90 per
cent below the prevailing wage scale,
and emphasizes the fact that living costs
have not been reduced sufficiently to
make it possible to exist on the low wages
offered.
Some $4,000 workers went out today
and it is expected similar strikes will be
called at strategic industrial points
throughout the nation.
An administration official-Harry L.
Hopkins-has stated the administration
plans to end direct relief and will stick
to its plan. If they don't want to work
at the wages offered, that is their priv
1Iege, he Is quoted as saying, but there
will be no relief"
If union labor ties up the WPA pro
gram, and it appears in position to do so,
the coming fall and winter, instead of
seeing a decrease in unemployment, will,
on the contrary, see an increase, with its
resultant increase in suffering.
The new deal" starting out with the
determination to help the laboring man,
has begged down on the job. The best
way to help the laboring man is to help
create jobs in industry for him and not
give him federal Jobs. The administra-
ton has not seen fit to do this and need
not be surprised if its ambitious WPA
program makes a bad matter worse.

DOING IT RIGHT

1t is to be hoped that better under
standing exists between the people of
Imperial Valley and residents Of Ban
ming as result of the visit Of valley
delegation to that city Wednesday night.
The purpose Of the visit was to enlist
the cooperation of Banning residents in
routing east-bOund travellers through In
perial Valley.
Banning is the gateway for travel
through the valley and thence to Yuma
and for travel by way Of Blythe and
Phoenix. Imperial Valley has felt that
Banning businessmen and residents have
been boosting the Blythe route to the det-
riment of the Imperial Valley route.
AT the meeting held in Banning the
merits and dement's of both routes were
frankly discussed. Imperial Valley did
not ask that all travel be routed this way.
realizing that the Blythe route support
ers also have a right to ask cooperation
from Banning. To ask exclusive cooper
alton for Imperial Valley would be put
ting Banning residents ION the spot,
and asking them to work against a route
which travels a considerable distance
through their own county.
Imperial Valley merely requested that
when asked to direct travellers Banning
residents and businessmen give them
honest and frank information on both
routes and let the traveller himself take
whichever one he prefers.
There is hope for success resulting
from the meeting for it was handled in
the way such affairs should be handled
by frankly placing the cards on the
table and making no threats or insinu-
ations of reprisals.
Those who went to Banning performed
a public service for Imperial county and
in the mutual exchange of good will
which the meeting fostered, doubtless
left friendly feeling for Imperial Valley
behind them. This in itself IS a help to
the valley and anything that helps is
akin to success.

CONTRACT BRIDGE
 By VIM. E. MCKINNEY
Decarer Is Squeezed Opponents Turn Table Player Who Makes Mistake of Taking All His Good
 Tricks

Generally squeeze play Is one of the strategic plays employed by the declarer against his opponents. By leading one of his good cards he will be able to squeeze them out of one of their good cards.
 But the odd part of to-day's hand is that, if declarer tries to cash all of his good cards, his opponents will squeeze him out of his final trick.
 I watched this hand played in a recent rubber game. The bid- ding given is as it actually oc- cured at the table. You might term North optimistic by showing two suits on such weak hand, but 1t was his bidding that got the declarer into a game contract.
 The hand, of course, could have been made if declarer had not been too anxious to cash all of his tricks. Here's the way he played the hand.
 The Play
 Against three no trump, West opened the seven of clubs. When East played the queen, declarer won the trick with the ace. De- clarer, then cashed five heart tricks, discarding club and two diamonds from rummy. West discarded a spade and a club, and East dropped spade and dia- mond.
 Declarerd next cashed his ace and king of diamonds and now led a small spade. West hopped right in with his king and then cashed the king of clubs. On this, dummy had to discard the ten of spades. East let go of the four

PARIS STYLES
By MARY FENTREss

Paris (UP) - Expertly tailored underwear in wide range of styles is shown at the house of Helene Yrande, the clever Russian woman who first thought of com bining a satin nightgown with a skirt and packet to make a cock tail, dinner or evening gown. She, too. made the beautiful silver and gold lame house coat which Prin- cess Marina chose for her trousseau before her marriage to the Duke of Kent.
 Madame Yrande decrees that the vogue of lace-trmimed under wear has had it's day unless shown in black combines with sheer triple voile. She shows sheer panties in this filmy material with exquisite black lace appliqued as yokes and edgings. Otherwise, she says that tailored undergarments are smart CT.
 For sports and daytime wear, Mime. Yrande shows cotton under wear in sheer handkerchief linen or cross-barred ninon. The panties, edged in hand-rolled scallops, are cut on the bias so that the only seam in the entire garment is in the back. These are cooler and far more practical htan silk gar ments for hot weather.
 Slips are so well tailored that there isn't single wrinkle under the most tight fitting gown. They come in satin, crepe or triple voile and are without lace, although they sometimes have yoke of point d'esprit. A new material which promises toi be popular is called jersey silk tulle and looks like a silk net weave. The material is clinging. so that proper fit of outer garments is assured, and it is perfectly tailored, replying for trim on three bands of plain pink satin which trim the panties and the skirt of the slip.
