HYDE PARK, N. Y. February %
President Roosevelt kept one eye on
national affairs today as he did his
homework on final phases of his pro-
gram for Congress.
Standing pat on his domestic re-
covery program, he closely observed
the contest in the Senate over, his
work relief measure. apparently con-
vinced this was better approach to
unemployment than the dole.
Radio Plans Put Aside.
Suggestions of intimates that he
talk to the Nation over the radio have
been put aside with an obvious belief
that the overwhelming Democratic
majority on Capitol Hill will follow
his leadership.
Mr. Roosevelt was working over spe-
cial reports today. formulating the
last of his special recommendations to
Congress-the direct ship subsidy plan
and the unified transportation agency.
His close interest in the progress OF
congressional work was unmistakable.
With a strong numerical majority, he
has pursued the policy this session OF
leaving formulation of regular bills to
the congressional leaders.
Only for emergency needs, he has
said, will special measures be sent to
Congress. This was the case with the
work relief bill, still stranded in the
Senate.
No more emergency legislation Is
looked for. His intimates have de-
clared the depression definitely Is on

Presidential aides have frankly ex-
pressed surprise over the effect on
Congress of messages from organized

in charge of temporary headquarters
at the PoughkeepSie Office near the
Presidents home, said numerous
messages of support were coming in

Mr.. Roosevelt maintained constant
contract with the White House. but
gave no evidence of concern.
He will conclude his visit home to-
morrow. departing by night train for

1t took 1000 cabbages and six years

HAVANA, February 26.-Cuba's
"schoolboy" strike threatened today to
become a general revolutionary walk
out, seriously endangering the regime
of President Carlos Mendieta.
The government laid responsibility
for the nationwide movement at the
door Of the Communists, while police
acted to round up the instigators.
Their belligerency unabated. the
strikers, bent on forcing the reSigna-
ton Of President Mendieta and his
government, formed united front"
and pushed their campaign through
out the island.
Twenty-six Teachers Arrested.
Hundreds of strike delegates poured
into Havana from interior points for
meetings to formulate plans for pro-
noting the strike. Twenty-six school
teachers were arrested in Havana and
charged with holding unauthorized
meetings or possessing strike mani
festoes.
Acts of violence multiplied. Six
persons, including two small girls,
were injured by bomb explosion in
public park in Santos SuareZ, q
suburb Of Havana
Four others were wounded in an
explosion amid the bazaar booths in
nearby Guirademelena Another bomb
wrecked the front Of the municipal
court room at Jatibonico, near Ca
maguey.
The National Confederation of
Labor controlling the Communist ele-
ment among workers. pledged its sup
port to general strike. along with
several individual unions. Govern
ment employees displayed a willing
ness to listen to strike delegates ex-
hortations and were believed likely
to join their ranks.
Call Tax Strike.
The strikers issued a manifesto
calling on all Cubans to refrain from
paying taxes and thereby tie the gov
ernment's hands Soon afterward a
representative of the 5000 residents
Of "Realengo 49," In Oriente Province,
pledged the support of his hill neigh
bors.
The "Realengueros" have been at
odds with the government for months
and have declined to pay their taxes
The government contends the pic

hundreds of thousands of acres of
land to which they have no legal
claim, but it has never been able to

unless Congress quickly passed the

 However, South sees through de. clarer's tactics and, instead of dis- carding diamond. throws away the six of hearts. North, of course, knows that South is out of spades and that West has the jack of spades.
 North returns his queen of spades, which forces declarer to trump in dummy with the jack of clubs. Now South discards the jack of hearts.
 Dummy's ace of hearts is cashed and then daimond led, which is won by deciarer with the ace. But now, when declarer tries to ruff the eight of hearts in dummy. South is able to overruff and defeat the contract.
