BY a vote of 6 to 4, the House

poned action on the Ellenbogen
unemployment insurance bill for
the District until after national
social security legislation had been
acted upon by the House.
Written by Representative
Henry T. Ellenbogen Cd Penn
sylvania, the District bill, in
tended as a model for the country,
provides for per cent assess
ment on the pay rolls of employ
ers employing more than four per-
sons. A contribution of / per cent
of the per cent assessment on
employers would be made by the
District.
Despite the insistence of Repre-
sentative Ellenbogen and other
members of the committee that
the bill be voted on today, a mo-
ton of Representative Wright
Patman Cd of Texas to postpone
action was adopted.
National Bill Near
The House probably will take
up national unemployment in

Provisions Of Bill
The Ellenbogen bill provides
that an employe totally unem-
ployed and eligible under the bill
for compensation shall be paid
benefits at the following rate:
Forty per cent of his full time
weekly wage; an additional 10 per
cent if he has a dependent wife
and an additional per cent for
each dependent relative who is a
member of his household. In no
case would total benefits exceed
SIS per week or IS per cent of his
full time weekly wage.
Estimates of contributions are
that under the bill the District
would contribute approximately
81, 000,00 annually.
Because of the delay occasioned
today it was considered doubtful
whether action may be secured in
the House for several weeks.

Baby Receivers in Hospital
As Story of Her Injuries
Is Told at Inquiry

UPPER MARLBORO, Nd,
April 10.-With the vision of her
bruised, beaten 3-yearold daugh-
ter before her, Mrs. Marie Green,
of Ardmore, Md, today accused
her husband, Robert Green, be-
fore a Prince Georges county
grand jury of whipping the child
with belt and buckle.

ing that belt.
The stout little heart in Norma
Jeanne, the baby Green is &C
cused of beating, meanwhile
pounded quite boisterously as she
recovered in Casualty Hospital,
Washington, her bruises healing,
none of her bones broken, even
in her left arm which is held
rigid with Splints.
Norma Jeanne, who will be re-
leased from the hospital in a
few days, is the object of many
attentions. With many toys and
gifts about her, the child'S hos
pital stay is becoming a thrill,
not a recuperation.
Mrs. Green did not bring the
child to the jury room.
Tells of Beating
Mrs. Green is said to have re-
peated the story she told police
and members of the Bladensburg
Rescue Squad late Monday when
they answered the first summons
for help. That was a story Of
whippings and slaps for little
wrongs, eliminating in flashing
with a belt because the baby was
afraid of her father and couldn't
spell patty"
It was a story also of asking
neighbors for aid. When aid came.
the father had disappeared, to be
seen later but not captured.
TesJifying, too, was DR.. Ber'
nard Wantman, of Casualty Hos
pital, who told of examining the
child. There was Mary Johnston,
a. neighbor, whose husband had
lately employed the fugitive as
a bricklayer. She had heard
sounds of the whipping She also
knew some of the details of life
in the strange house before the
whipping occurred.
NeighbOrS Heard
There was Nora McGrain neigh
Dor, who was at the house before
police arrived. There were mem
berS of the rescue squad, includ'
ing Sergt. Hedley Gasch, Richard
Murphy, Albert Firestein and
Melvin Kent, who answered the
call for aid and joined later in
the posse search for the husband.
Sergt. Ralph Brown, Pvt. Arthur
Brown and Pvt. Howard Slater
Prince Georges county police,
testified. Mrs. Green consented
to appear before the jury after a
conference with Sergeant Brown
and hospital authorities last night
at Norma Jeanne'S bedside.
Through all the testimony a
rigid silence was observed by the
witnesses and jury to outsiders.
The circuit court is noted for it's
observance of jury rules Of
secrecy.
Indictment Expected
For that reason, since the jury
returned it's first batch of indict'

Says:

That's quite an achievement
of those Russian scientists, in
developing an airplane that can
be flown with an ordinary auto"
mobile motor Well, that's one
way Of getting the old models
off the streets.
They claim that one Of the
most important advantages Is
that it can be operated on reg

Communist using anything but
the "red" gas.
OF course, it's to be expected
that the SovietS 7hOuld be sue
cessful in getting greater power
out of an automobile engine. >.
Look at the years Of experience
they've had in developing more
revolutions"
so REMEMBER:
If those Russians handle an
automobile motor in the air
anything like Americans do on
the highway. Communism will
soon cease to be a menace.

RISE IN PRICES
OFMEAT FAILS.

liked Housewives Insult
Dealers But Continue to
Make Usual Purchases

It isn't the high price of meat
that bothers Washington retailers.
It's the insults from housewives
who remember when chops, steaks
and roasts were less of a luxury.
Otherwise, a survey of retail
and wholesale meat shops today
disclosed that things are "just
fine" with the dealers. They are
taking in more money, albeit pay
ing more out, and-people are
still eating meat.
Steaks Popular
Some of the vendors find that
certain types Of buyers are going
in a big way for 55-cents-a-pound
steaks that they passed up when
a dollar bill bought a big interest
in a quarter of a beef. One Of
them chuckled:
"ThOse steaks taste better
now, but pork"
Shortages of salt pork, the
most noticeable absentee from
the meat dealers display cases,
are laid by the wholesalers to
the Government processing tax
of last fall which led thrifty
farmers to kill off their stock
at average prices of $25 per head
where previous high figures had
been in the neighborhood OF $40.
Restaurant owners and man
ayers, who banded together in
advancing prices 10 per cent on
April /, declare business has been
greater than ever during the last
week.
Small restaurant and lunch
room operators bemoan the added
work of increased patronage with
no advance in the profits, attrib-
uting their headaches to the
raised prices Of raw materials.
Housewives Irked
On the whole, however, the
only dissatisfied people are the
housewives. In the words of a
chain store meat clerk:
"They grumble and growl and
try to make us feel ashamed
of ourselves, but in the end
they buy just as much as be.
fore. In fact, when prices are
low they want to know what's
wrong with the meat, picking it
up and smelling it to make
sure it's good. But when we
charge them so per cent more
they think the meat is sure to
be good"
Far from displaying a short
age of meat, although prices are
admittedly high, one store dis
played a large sign declaring,
mo Dogs Allowed" while inside
a special sale of frankfurters
was going on.
Tops Baltimore
Comparison Of prices as given
in a Bureau Of Labor Statistics
survey reveals that Washington
pays from one to nine cents more
a pound for meats than does
Baltimore, 40 miles away.
A sirloin steak in Washington
costs 45.8 cents per pound, the
survey showed, while the Balti-
more housewife pays but 36.2
cents per pound for the same
cut. Pork chops are 4 cents a
pound higher here.
Even so, prices on foodstuffs
are coming down in hte Capital,
having dropped 1.3 per cent on
March 26, as compared with
March IL, and were one half of
one per cent lower than on
February 26.

Bidding is part of the play. Therefore, to good player, the bidding will govern the play of the hand in many cases.
 am afraid too many beginners at contract consider the bidding and the play as separate. A be- giuner will strive really hard to bid the hand according to the system he has studied, and as soon as he becomes declarer he is SO busy arguing with his partner to to how the hand should have keeup tracy of trump. that he dis regards the information and help he might get in the play of the hand from the bidding.
 Phil Abramsohn, one of New York's younger stars and player who has established a good record for hemself, brought this hand to my attention. It came up in the recent Long Island open pair championship tournament which he and his partner, Fred Kaplan of New York city, won. The winning of this event gave each of them 10 master points.
 The Bidding.
 Let's just review the bidding West has bid a diamond, North has doubled; East's bid of two diamonds. over the double, is weakness; South's bid of two hearts is a free bid and, therefore, after pash, shows a fair hand.
 When West bid two spades, he has marked himself with nine cards, five diamonds and four

vALERIO. O.ENiANUEL

An attractive wedding took place at the Lady of Mount Carmel church when Miss Catherine Elm anuel of Bonnet street, daughter of Mir. and Mrs. Vincent Emanuel of Italy became the bride of An thony Valerie, of Tarbel avenue, yesterday morning at o'clock.
 Rev. M. J. Lynch, pastor per- formed the ceremony and cele- brated the nuptial mass which fol- lowed tin the presence of large gathering of relatives and friends.
 The church was decorated with palms, ferns and vases of gar den flowers.
 The organist, Mrs. Michael Ga- lullo, arranged special program of wedding music.
 The bride wore a. gown of white satin, Princess style, high. neck line and long sleeves. She wore a double veil of tulle, with train trimmed in white satin ribbon, caught in cap shape with orange blossoms, and carried a shower bouquet of roses, lilies of the val ley and swausonia.
 The maid of honor, Miss Rose Forte, wore a gown of pink or gande with blue sash and maline hat, of corresponding color. She carried bouquet pink roses with gysophilia.
 The best man was Frank Ba- vone.
 The wedding breakfast was held at the groom's home in Oakville followed by a reception at the Oakville Community house in the evening for about three hundred guests. Many attending from New York, New Jersey, Hartford, Springfield, Watertown, Waterbury, New Haven. Dancing was enjoyed music being furnished by Al Gross andn Club Kaley's orchestra. < Mir. and Mrs. Bavone left later in the evening on motor trip to Niagara Falls.

spades, because the diamonds were bid first.
 The Play.
 The whole play in the hand de- bends, of course, on how the club suit is handled.
 When West opened the queen of diamonds, 1t was won in dummy with the ace. Two rounds of hearts were taken and then the king of diamonds was cashed, followed by small spade. The oponents won two spade tricks and forced de- clarer to ruff the third spade.
 This brought declared up to the club play. As l said before, the bidding located nine cards in the West hand. West had followed to two rounds of hearts; there fore. there were only two unknown cards in his hand.
 To justify the bidding, one of them had to be the ace of clubs, so declarer simply led a small club toward dummy, and when West played low the trick was won with the qeen. The deuce of clubs was returned and now, since. declarer definitely knew that West had nothing but the singleton ace of clubs left in his hand. he could play small club.
 Many players on this type of hand would forget to observe the bidding and lead of club toward the king, hoping on the next round to finesse dummy's ten spt. This, of course, would cause the contract to be defeated.

PARIS STYLES
By MARY FENTREss

Paris (UP) - Furs are worn generally the year around except during stifiingly hot weather, when neck pieces of feathers instead, and the midsummer season is the best time to buy furs for the future.
 :. Exotic and valuable furs such as ermine, chinchilla, sable, mink and kolinsky have reached pcrfec- tion in the hands of modern fur artists, but these skins are too cost ly for the average woman. Com pensations can be found in skins of lesser value, for fur craft has pro: gressed to such an extent that al- most all furs are usable today, and harsh textures, bad color and ugly cuts are neither neces- sary nor tolerated.
 For evening wear and for for nal events capes of ermine, fox and mink will be the smartest choice. Capes are slightly circular and fall below the waitline.
 Persian lamb will be one oi the semartest winter furs, in 6 cape, in the three-quarter length swagger coat, or as trimming or a black cloth coat. Of the less ex- pensive furs, moleskin promises tt be popular. both in the new henni shade and in blue and grey-beig, tones.
 American broadtail, dyed il browns that range from henna t, cinnamon, are for the blonde while the same fur is dyed black navy blue or grey for the brunette Seal. .muskrat and nutria are req sonabie in price and are equall. smart in cape or a coat, as wei as being particularly suitable as , trimming for tweeds or mixtures Pony and deer are made into tn, longer. belted coats that are ex tremely youthful.
