Air Base Bill Is Passed: Alaska To
 Be The list Base
(By The Associated Press)


 WASHINGTON, July 30, Frank ly elated at the passage of the Will cox Airbase bill, high army air corps officers turned their eyes to- ward maps to determine where to build six new air bases authorized by the measure. The bill was sent to President Roosevelt today for his signature.
 the depots are to be established in six key points in specified defense areas, and will cost approximately one hundred and twenty million dol lars.
 Progress toward the actual work of establishing hem wnl depeni up- on the fnane5al oac&ng Ii tl.e pub lie works allotment board, which believed that funds would be avail able this year for one or two bases.
 Reports from an authoritative source indicated that Alaska would be chosen first, with Fairbanks as the site, as the government desires to experiment with cold weather flying. The second area will probab- ly be the Pacific Northwest.
 Seattle and Portland will vie as a base for the second defense area, which will be established as a key position, serving as a connecting link with Alaska, and play a vital part in the coast defense plans.

 BERLIN, July 30, - Naziism, pay ing heed to foreign opinion, slack ened its campaign some, against state enemies, and turned it's atten- tion to communists, especially in the United States.
 The German press advised that other nations should clean their own houses before paying attention to the Reich. Some papers advised the United States to take care of its communists and warned that Am erica has duty, which is to pre- vent them from disturbing the friendly relations existing between the United Staates and Germany"

Penny Banknote
 IsPut On Display
 Was Issued In 1928
(By The Associated Press)

LONDON, July 30, The Bank of England is exhibiting one of the most curious specimens of paper currency ever made, which is the smallest banknote ever issued. It is a banknote for one penny, properly printed and sent out for circulation.
 How it came to be issued is my stery states William Gourlay, man ager of the American Express Trav- el Service, who tells that in 1928 the bank by accident struck off and issued this note with a face value of one penny. There was only one issue, and for many years it caused annoyance to cashiers in making up their accounts, until a reward of { 5 was offered to recover it.

John D. Rockefeller has just pass ed his 96th Birthday, and has col
 lected several million dollars from
 life insurance companies as con- sequence. That, probably, will call forth the comment that he has en- ough and does not need it, and that small consideration is accorded to the man of 96 who has not been fortunate enough to be able to keep up his premiums. All of the fore going may be true, yet to it should be added the observation that the money will bring MT Rockefeller no joy or added comfort. All that he can now enjoy is an easy chair, shade from the summers heat, warmth against the winters cold, and food enough to sustain the pull sation of his failing heart. Likely he would be glad to buy back van ished youth at the price of all his gains. There is little to justify sym pathy for the aged poor and in the same breath bitter words for the aged rich.

It is natural enough that more than the headlines should be read when they refer to tax plans in tended to yield about billion dol lars. Congress and the Treasury are talking things over and the revision of course will be upward and not downward. The proposed schedules are too long and too intricate to be discussed here. The burden ap- pears to be distributed pretty even ly, with a possible tendency to bear down a little more strongly than heretofore upon those who have neither poverty nor riches.

CONTRACT BRIDGE
Remember TAPEL!- By Applying This Ingenious Formula
 You'll Be Able To Work Squeeze Play
By VIM. E. MCKINNEY Secretary Of the American Bridge League

as the foundation for every squeeze.
 A Stands for assumption. De- clarer must assume that only one opponent will be able to guard both threats.
 P Stands for projection. De- clarer must be able to project the play down to the squeeze trick that is, the point where the oppo- nent to be squeezed holds only the cards necessary to guard the two threat suits.
 F stands for entry. When the squeeze is applied, declarer must have retained final entry card into the opposite hand.
 l. stands for lead (the squeeze lead). At the squeeze point de- clarer must lead suit of which the opponent to be squeezed is void, forcing him to discard one of the guards over one of the threat suits, thereby transforming that threat card into the needed extra trick.
 These five star lapel points must exist in every squeeze play. If any one of them is missing. there can be no squeeze. Here at last is definite yardstick for this advanced bridge play.
 With use of the lapel formula, any bridge player should be able to recognize the possible existence of squeeze situation and also to execute it accurately.
 Applying the formula of today's hand, declarer knows that West holds the spade queen and that, as long as tlfe spade jack remains in dummy, West must retain the spade queen. Now declarer req sons that, if West also holds the diamond king-queen, he will be forced to retain these cards so long as the diamond ace-jack re- mains in dummy.
 If declarer can now project the play to the 11th trick, at which point West will hold only the spade queen and the diamond king queen and. at the i1th trick. de- clarer will play suit of which West is void, West will be forced to discard either the spade queen, setting up the spade jack Tn dummy as the extra trick, or diamond, setting up the diamond jack in dummy as the extra trick.
 No matter what West discards. declarer will have created the needed extra trick through a squeeze.
 In my next article shall dis cuss the element of threat cards as applied to the lapel formula and the squeeze play. On the sue ceeding days each of the five ele- ments will be discussed sepa- rately, so that you may under stand the simplicity and accuracy of the Tapel formula.

This is the first of six articles in which William E. Kenncy tells how to recognize and work the squeeze play.
 The squeeze play is perhaps the most fascinating of the strate- Eic plays in bridge. However, It has always been most difficult play to teach.
 believe now, for the first time, that a method has been discovered whereby all rudiments of the squeeze play can easily be taught, even to the beginner.
 This method has b e n devised hy E. Hall Downes and, in his new book, entitled "Squeezes, Coups, and End Plays" he explains his new 'Tapel" formula for -recog- nizing and executing the squeeze play.
 This is the first of series of articles explaining Downes' new Tapel formula. know that, ir you carefully study the principals, you will be able to execute the most difficult squeeze plays as easily as an expert.
 As a starter, let us take the following hand:
 Against South's seven-heart con tract, West opens the spade king and South immediately realizes

that he holds 2 sure winning tricks; one diamond loser stands in the way of fullfilment of Souths slam contract.
 The diamond loser cannot be eliminated through ruffing, dis carding. or finessing, but the ex- perienced player does not throw up his hands and admit defeat. Instead he carefully considers the possibility of projecting squeeze against the West hand for the extra trick.
 The Downes formula for he squeeze play definitely determines that he holds 12 sure winning be five esseptial clements. T h y are as follows:
