Today's Contract Problem
 The contract is five clubs by East. South opens the seven of spades. Can East make his contract?

wise North himself would have bid three no trump.
 Furthermore, North's first round bid of one diamond was mildly constructive, and indicated some high card and distributional values. Jaeger reasoned that a contract of five clubs would be useless if he could make three no trump with 150 aces, so he took the bull by the horns and bid six clubs. iu
 The Play
 The first heart lead was won by the ace, and @ heart was re- turned to be trumped in dunsmy. Two rounds of clubs were taken. leaving East with the high trump.
 Declarer now played the ace of diamonds, led a small one to the king, and returned third dia- mond to be ruffed in his own hand. He trumped the ten of hearts with dummy's last club. and led another diamond back to his hand.
 If East should trump the dia- mona, ueCldTcr WOuiu uictRTu a spade and run the remaining tricks. However, East refused, to do so. discarding a small spade each time. ss
 Jaeger led the ace of. spades and a small one to the king. His next lead was the last diamond from dummy, which was now established, and provided a dis card for the losing spade.
 East might trump or not, but in either case his only trick would be the queen of clubs. Thus. cor rect bidding led to . successful slam contract at clubs. on . hand which would not have produced even game at no trump. ..

SLAYER OF GIRL
MAY BE ACCUSED
OF MANY GRIMES
AT Least Six Others to Be
Charged Up to Mer=
ton Goodrich

New York, July 5.-(UP)-
Prosecutor Duncan McCrea of De-
troit announced to-day that Mer-
ton Ward Goodrich, confessed per-
vert slayer of an 11-year old De-
troit girl, may be charged with six
other criminal assaults on Michi-
gan children. McCrea and De-
troit detectives planned to return
Goodrich and his lame wife to De-
troit to-day.
I'VE do not think that the MUIR
der of Lillian Gallagher, to which
Goodrich has confessed, is the only
crime that he has committed since
he was released from the Ohio
state hospital last year." McCrea
said. There are at least six cases
of little girls criminally ASA ult-
ed In Detroit which we think we
can lay to this man. In addition
thsre are several disapparances of
young children about which we
want to question him"
Can't Pin That Job
Goodrich denied any knowledge
of the killing of Nadine vogel
Love, S, at Kansas City, Kan,
April 20, 1898, when he was aues-
TONED at the request of the Kan
sas officers. That's one thing
they can't pin on me-" he said. Il
was in an institution at Lima,
Ohio at that time
Goodrich's wife was taken into
custody by McCrea and two detec-
tives who came with him. She
is charged with acting in concert"
by aiding his escape and keeping
him hidden from the law. The 27-
year old trap drummer, arrested
for 1ewd conduct while watching
children at a wading pool, insisted
his wife knew nothing of Lillian
death when they fled Detroit nine
months ago, leaving the child 5
body trussed in a trunk in their
apartment. He didn't tell hei
about the attack until thre or four
months ago, he said. The couple
met at the preliminary hearing
while reporters were questioning
Goodrich. They embraced.

that he wants them to yield sub

The committee expects to start
hearings Monday. 1t will attempt
to confine the bill to hiked income

corporation levies and new inner

informed that Increased surtaxes

message his proposal for individual
income tax increases to persons
