RULES REVISED.
BUT NOT BRIDGE
'SLANGUAGE'
BY DAVID P. SENTNER


SO.-The attempt to change the
slanguage of the bridge table,
under the new international code
of contract bridge laws, is hope
l,Ss, unenforceable and will turn
out to be dodo "blue laws"
Women players (who never
like mathematical acrobatics)
are most enthusiastic over the
simplification OF scoring.
The reduction of points for
grand slams will favor the con-
servative bridge players and wipe
ct the reckless players if they
dc not mend their WaE's.
The dummy" attaining a new
role under the changes, will be
enabled to release suppressed
emotion.
New Millions Seen
And the new code will bring
in many new millions into the
field of contract bridge.
Ely Culbertson, the old macs
tro of the bridge arena, raised
his ears from the seismograph
today to report to international
News Service the aforesaid re-
actions in the bridge world about
to be reformed on March 81
when the new code goes into et-
feet.
The solons of the Whist Club
New York;: the Portland Club
(London), and the Commission
Franchise du Bridge (Paris). as
sisted by American committees
headed by Mr.. Culbertson and
Har old S. Vanderbilt, arrived at
the new code.
Scoring Revised
The revised system of scoring
fixes:
Clubs or Diamonds, 20 a trick.
Hearts or Spades. 80 trick.
No Trump, 40 first trick: 80
each other trick.
Overtricks
Not
Vulnerable. Vulnerable
Trick. Trick.
Undoubled ...... Value value
Doubled ...... 100 zoo
Redoubled 80. 200 4OO
Premiums
Little Slam. ..... 500 75U
Grand Slam. 1000 1900
Terms Changed
In addition to the revised Sys-
tenn of scoring, the solonS de-
fined new words for the former
terms used by contract devoteeS'
These changes included:
Old terms-Dummy. New term
-Declarer's partner.
Old term-Dummy hand. New
term-Faced card.
Old term-Opponent. New term
Defender.
Old term-Bid. New term-Call
Ito include bid, pass, double or re-
double).
Old term-I pass. New term
Pass.
Speaking out Of turn. Calling
out of rotation.
: Said Mr.. Culbertson:
'Tt won't take. We can
change the laws Of contract
bridge for the world but you
can't change the words. The
public likes to use their own
phrases. And variation adds
a little color to the bidding"
Mr.. Culbertson said he had ad-
vised against changing the terms.
"The changes In terminOlOgy
were influenced to some extent
by the English group. You
know the British love for pre-
else terms"
The bridge expert discussed the
new status the dummy" or :'de-
clarer's partner" would assume.
He said:
"There is nothing more agOn-
izing for a woman than to see
her husband make a revoke
and not have anything to say
about it,
Mrs. Josephine Culbertson, his
vile ana partner, remarked:
"And vice versa"
Under the new rules, the "dum-
my" can call a revoke. He Cor
She) can say:
Partner, you have revoked;
do you know your rights"
Mr.. Culbertson said:
"That line-DO you know
your rights-will become the
ritual of the bridge table,"
CThe dummy can also discuss

j. s. EDUCATION
LACK RAPED

Washingtonians were poring
over some interesting educational
statistics today which were laid be-
fore the Town Hall session last
night by Chairman John w.
Studebaker, United States Com
missioner of Education.
DR.. Studebaker told his audience
that 64,000,000 persons in this
country had not finished high
school and that 100000 had
not gone to high school. The
education commissioner charged
"there are sinister forces at work
denying the individual the right to
learn"

And about the new scoring.
Said Mr.. Culbertson:
"WOmen are most enthusiaS-
tic about these changes be-
cause they hate complex sub
fractions and addition and well
come simpIificatiOn."
He estimated roughly that
women formed IS per cent OF
the 100000 contract bridge
players in the United States.
Commenting on the reduction
of the vulnerable grand slam
bonus from 2,25O points to $500
and the nonvulnerable bonus
from $500 to 1000, Mr.. Culbert-
son said:
'Tt will mean that grand
slams will have to be bid more
precisely than ever. Making a
grand slam contract was an
even chance under the old
laws. Now, it is a twO-tO-One
shot,"
Then Mr.. CulbertSon spoke as
a mass psychologist:
"The most amazing thing
psychOIOgically about the new
laws is that on March 81
more than 75,O0O,0O0 people
throughout the world will
change their habits overnight
in a complex intellectual game.

SEX IS No BAR
IN BUSINESS
MISS ROCHE
International New. Service

The sky Is the limit Tor women
in business and sex is no obstacle.
This is the measured opinion OF
the New Deals outstanding tem1-
nine member. tall, graceful, and
gray-haired Miss Josephine Roche,
Assistant Secretary OF the
Treasury.
In years, Miss Roche is 40. In
outlook she is young as the ever
curious little lady of Carroll'S i'm
mortal Alice in Wonderland.
Miss Roche chose to remain
single, but she believes that mar.
riage and career may mix with
splendid results. It all depends on
the individual, in her opinion. For
herself, she says she found all the
romance in the world in her work.
And she's been doing a mans
job, as the workaday world sees it,
for years. She told international
News Service:
II don't think Of people as
men and women. think Of
them as people. There is no
dividing line of ability between
the sexes. You ask me wssat
Jobs believe women would per.
form best, and I ask you, what
Jobs do you think men perform
best?"
MATTER OF ABILITY
Performance is all a matter Of
individual ability, according to the
first woman Assistant Secretary
Of the Treasury. In some women
there lies, sometimes latent, some
times active, ability in one field
or another. In others there is not
any such ability. The same is true
of men, she observed, with Grim
king eyes as smoke from her
cigarette curled about her face.
She said:
"In my own case, I have found
that there is apparently no dis
elimination against the woman
in business. realize at the
same time that some have found
themselves faced with discrimi-
nation. I believe that is disap-
pearing, and I believe that
woman is today very definitely
fitting into the economic scheme
Of things"
Repeated questions failed to
draw an expression of favored
spots in business for women"
from Miss Roche. She said, smil-
ing:
"I think that jobs are Jobs
and people are people. There
is no sex dividing line in the
field Of work. There is no spe-
cffic limit for women in buSi-
ness, any more than there is for
men,"
MANY CONFERENCES
The new Assistant Secretary Of
the Treasury definitely has the
courage of her convictions. She
holds dozens of conferences daily
with Government officials, and
carries them off with an ease born
of long practice. She is informal,
and the caller finds frequently
that when she becomes interested
in a subject, Miss Roche will
hunch her shoulders, lean over
the back of her chair, and fire
questions with an intense and
obvious curiosity.
Back Of the opinions Of this
extremely feminine New Dealer,
who believes that sex doesn't help
or hurt in business, lies one of the
most remarkable careers in the
country. Some eight years ago
her father died in Denver, COL,
and left her the second largest
coal company in the State. In
stead of selling out, or getting eff.
ficie1t managers, she took over
the business herself. She made
the Union Mine pay in Colorado
and pulled an ailing company
through one of the toughest eco
nomic periods of American his
tory. The company is still going
strong, and Miss Roche believes
that even hetter times are ahead

 Renewing Feud
Continued From Page One

Many of the conservative leaders feel strongly, however, that if the platform is to appeal especially to one residing in the West or midwest. That is a simple principle of practical strategy to which former President Hoover, among others, is said authoritatively to subscribe.
 Of the men who are, or have been, in public office and who can meet that qualification, MT. Hoo yer himself stands out most con Spicuously. It no longer is doubted that a great deal of this strength will center about him.
 As for the liberal wing, there re- mains much doubt whether it ac- tually will enter a candidate or will resign itself to scattering conven- ton votes for faVorite sons,. as it has done so often in the past
 If it does have one outstanding candidate, every indication now is that it will be Senator Borah. Should he decline, the prospect that there will be any outstanding liber- al candidate is extremely uncertain.
 Vandenberg's Status
 If neither wing of the party dom- mates, and it develops that there must be a compomise-as many be- lieve there will be-three alterna- tives must be considered.
 The convention could pick man who has been close to the problems of Washington, and has an intimate knowledge of them, but whose re- cord never has tied him irrevocably with either wing. In this subdivi- sion. Senator Vandenberg of Mich igan is today the most widely-men- toned
 Another approach would be to
 
 choose a man experienced in pOliti- cal leadership and public office but involved only remotely with the is sues which have been agitating Washington. Among the availables of this class, increasing mention is heard of Governor Landon of Kan Sas.
 Finally, it might be considered best to go entirely outside of off cial connections and involvements. Within this field, the most active and widespread effort now under way is on behalf of Frank Knox, the Chicago publisher
 Here are five possibilities; but the mention of them as symbolizng var ious trends should not be taken as excluding others. Nor should anyone reckon, as of today, what may happen months hence. The best that can be said is that the prospect still is wholly indecisive.
