| TAX-THE-RICH
BILL FROM COP.
May Delay Its Passage I'M
less Democrat Leaders
Can Block II
BY EDWARD W. LEWIS
UNITED Press StafR Correspondent

Washington, Aug. 2.-(UP)-
An incipient republican filibuster
against the tax-the-rich bill
threatened today to delay house
passage until next week and frus-
trate democratic plans for early
adjournment OF congress.
In retaliation house democratic
leaders may invoke a stringent gag
rule permitting all bills to be
brought up under procedure pre-
venting amendments and restrict
ing debate to 40 minutes.
Signs of the republican maneuver
against the tax bill developed yes
terday when delaying tactics were
pursued with the tacit backing of
Minority Leader Bertrand Smell.
The elderly up state New Yorker
definitely brought the tax the rich
issue into the next political cam
paign by attacking 1t as ''unjustifi-
able, inconsequential, dictated only
by political expediency," and as
leading toward "pure socialism"
May Vote Before Sunday
The house was called to meet
two hours earlier than usual today
for the first time this session
in an attempt to conclude general
debate by tonight and put the bill
through by Sunday. Speaker Jo-
seph w. Byrns said, however, that
republican tactics may force the
formalities Of roll call votes on
passage and amendments and thus
delay Anal action until Monday.
The senate, house leaders have
been informed, Is likely to receive
the bill from the finance commit
tee by next Thursday IL the house
acts expeditiously. This would per-
nit possible adjournment Of the
temper.fraying session before Sep

Patrick Boland said today 1t was
not necessary to make a check Of

the case on other controversial
measures, to assure the status of

Other BlOcs Have Failed
The soldiers bonus and imitation
blocs, along with the liberal or
Maverick" bloc, have failed to
get together in coordinated fash
ion to revise the measure. What
ever fight on these issues occurs
will be in the senate.
Three major fights will worry
house leaders. These will center
around Efforts to knock out the
presidents graduated corporation
tax, to write into the bill with the
backing OF ways and means COM

mittee democrats tax exemption
for corporation gifts TO charity,
and to eliminate new mining en-
terprises from the stringent excess
profits levy.
The only one Of these proposals
likely to carry is the corporation
charity gift exemption, opposed by
the president and heatedly advo-
Gated by charity organizations
which contend $2O,000,000 in an

Under the gag procedure, two
thirds majority is required for pas
sage of a bill, but only 40 minutes
debate permitted before the vote
comes on passage.
The president, leaders have been
informed, wants congress to close
up by Augu. 20, so he can 60 west,

Electric service was cut OFF
here yesterday when a large trac-
tor-crane got out of control while
being moved across the trolley
tracks and down the river bank
at the new bridge, which is now
being built. It swung around and
moved down a pole on which
were high tension wires.
Although there was a group OF
about 755 adults and children
watching the operation at the
time, luckily none was injured.
The service here was out of order
for three hours while repairs were
being made. This caused much
Inconvenience here.

Power Company was to be given at

cause the electric power was off,

To-day's hand has one of those problems that confront you every day at. the bridge table. Which way to play the hand? It's the type of hand that, if you take time to study, will teach you a lot about bridge.
 You have to make your decision on the first round and, before do- ing so. you have to take into con. sideration why you got the openy ing lead you did and what the dis tribution Is.
 Before discussing the play, how ever, I just want to remind you that North's jump to four spades is in no way q slam try slam try. His partner made an original bid, North made q one-over-one force and partner showed a desire Co sign off with one no trump.
 However, North Is justified In figuring that. if his partner could make an original bid, he has at least play for a game In spades
 The Play
 East opened the four spot of spades--a very fortunate opening. Now, what's the first thing that goes through the declarer's head? East has opened spade, instead of his own suit. Well, maybe he has both the king Of hearts and

As long as have this heart play to make in any case, how can 1 eliminate losing more than two diamonds? By making a safety play in clubs. Win the first trick with the acc of spades in dummy, immediately play the king of clubs and discard losing diamond. East will win with the ace and naturally return another spade. which declarer will win with the ten.
 Now pick up the outstanding trumps and, when East discards a club, a club will be discarded from dummy. Declarer's next play should be the ace of hearts and then a small heart, hoping that he can make the proper guess or that East will have to play heart honor, which will eliminate the guess.
 When the three of hearts IS played, East has to win the trick with the king and now there Is not much to the hand.
