Welcomed as Liberal

Brewster was recommended to Roosevelt as a progressive who merited support in the next cam paign and could be counted on as a New Dealer in current congress sional fights.
 Brewster seemed pleased. espe- cially % when he was allowed to work with Corcoran. co-author of the holding company bill and one of the most active and effective brain trusters behind the scene on legal aspects of the Passamaquoddy power project, the administrations big work-relief award, to Maine.
 Progressives first began to worry about Brewster a few days ago, when the Bland-Copeland mer- chant marine bill was up. They opposed it. labelling 1t steal for the ship operators and shipbuild- CTS.
 Brewster, member of the mer- chant marine committee, signed a minority report excoriating the bill, but merely voted present on the vote to report 1t out. At a time when Moran of Maine and Wearin of Iowa, leaders in the fight, ex- pected him to, be introducing

amendments to the bill, they found Brewster was out of town. Turns on Progressives


 Votes on the holding company bill followed almost immediately. Again Brewster was missing. A friend, advised by administration agents, found him and escorted him to the Capitol.
 That friend and many others in the galleries gasped in amazement as the famous foe of the power trust" marched up the aisle with republicans and conservative dem- ocrats in a vote against substitu- tion of the senate bill dissolving big holding companies.
 Reaction against Brewster among his friends of the last few months set in immediately. These progress sives say Corcoran had merely told Brewster that if he wouldn't sup port the administration against the power trust" he couldn't be trusted to participate in plans for the Passamaquoddy project. Now for the Fun
 So now a supposedly impartial investigation of administration and utility lobbying is supposed to be staged by a rules committee which voted almost unanimously against the holding company death sentence"
 An anti-administration Tammany Irishman named O'Connor, chair man of the committee, is pitted against a brilliant young Irishman named Corcoran and it will be a grand fight.
 And of course Brewster's turn about is a joke on the New Deal- CTS. But the bitter hatred of pro- gressives for Brewster, indicates small future happiness here for MT. Brewster and grave doubt whether he will enjoy the joke. Copyright, 1895, NEA Service.

Fought Insult Rule

Some years ago Samuel Insuli went to Maine with the intent of adding it to his empire. His agents obtained passage of legislative bill permitting export of electric power from the state. Brewster. as governor, vetoed the bill.
 Thereafter, Brewster ran for the senate and was defeated by the power and other interests. But last year he was elected to the house over a democrat described as a 100 per cent power trust man."
 Working closely with Brewster in his campaigns was Ernest H. Gruening, once crusading editor of the progressive Portland (Me.) Evening News.
 When Brewster came to Wash ington, Gruening, now director of the division of territories and in- sular possessions, introduced him to other liberals and soon the con- gressman became a popular figure at gatherings of New Dealers, who welcomed the strange spectacle of an eastern republican congress- man who professed to agree with their progressive views.
 He became the associate of inde- pendent congressman, joining in their secret councils which dis cussed strategy on the holding company bill.

threatened stoppage of Maine's famous Passamaquoddy project in case Brewster didn't vote for the administrators proposal to dis solve the biggest public utility holding companies.
 The story of now Brewster reached his present position is re- markable and instructive.
 It demonstrates the way things happened to congressman in the history making struggle between the administration and the power trust" lobby over the holding com pany bill, in which the New Deal- CTS and the congressional progress sives had taken Brewster to their bcsoms.

Solution of Previous Contract
 Problem
 This is the third of a series of articles dealing with the bidding conventions of Oswald Jacoby, Da- vid Burnstine, Howard Schenken and Michael T. Gottlieb; as ex- banded in their new book "The Four Aces System of Contract Bridge"
 This article deals with their rule of the ace and the king, when a jump raise in partners suit has been made.
 Again we find South opening the contracting with one heart. North's response of one spade, of course, is a one-over- -one force.
 South's hand has sufficient strength to make a game demand bid of three spades. He feels, even though his partners hand. is as weak as five spades to the nine spot and the ace of diamonds, that there is at least play for game.
 North, of course, has 8 very line hand. It is unbalanced, that is 1t contains a singleton or void. The rule says that, after partner has made jump raise your suit. in order to take further action, other than signing of with 8 game bid in your suit or no trump, you

must be able to remove an ace from a balanced hand or a king from an unbalanced hand and still have sound response.
 Therefore, at this point North is justified in making 8 slam try bid of four diamonds. South'S five club bid shows first round control of clubs and denies the ace of dia- monds, as the higher control should be shown first. Of course, South's bid of five clubs is also slam in- vitation.
 Now the decision is up to North. He realizes that his partner does not have the control in diamonds, but even without this control he is willing to invite 8 slam: therefore South must have the ace of spades and the ace of hearts.
 As North does not have the ace of diamonds, he knows 8 grand slam is hopeless. He must not make another constructive move, such as bidding five diamonds, but should bid six spades, knowing that a small slam is practically certain.
