Solution to Previous Contract
 Problem
 Some players find it difficult to distinguish between a constructive bid and sign-off bid.
 There are times when sign-off bid can be constructive. For ex- ample, in today's hand when North bids two diamonds, South's rebid of two spades is a sign-off bid but at the same time 1t conveys cer- tain information to partner. It lets him know that his original bid was sound and was based on a five-card suit.
 Therefore North is justified in carrying the contract to four spades.
 Tn the play of the hand was surprised to find number of good

Special to the Democrat)

Naugatuck, May 20 - Charges that Burgesses Joseph Dinneny and Leo Brophy are "double-cross- ing" Warden John J. Sheridan were made today by Burgess Vic tor Burkus in statement to the press. MT. Burkus referred to the stand of these burgesses on the matter of reappointment of Fire Chief Milton Calvin. At the secret session of democratic burgesses held last Monday, Burgesses Din- neny and Brophy were reported opposed to MT. Calvin.
 Burgess Burkus today said that the other two Democratic burgess ses before the Democratic conven- tion pledged themselves to Warden Sheridan, and said they are violat- ing their pledges by opposing the warden's wishes in this matter. They were elected because they made these pledges, he said, and should keep them now.
 This brings out in the open the split in democratic ranks. Burgess -urkus challenged Burgesses Din- neny and Brophy to defend their stands publicly.

 "The board of trustees has full confidence in the loyalty and pa triotism of the faculty and students The action taken by the board on April 17th last was for the purpose of preventing public agitation on the campus by a small minority, with the design of hampering the effectiveness and work of an es- tablished department of the col lege, or too evident disloyalty to our country.

New York City, May 20--An i'm mediate test of the trustees ban or discussion of compulsory military training at Connecticut State col lege was urged Saturday on the College Social Problems club in a wire sent out by the American Civil Liberties Union and signed by Harry F. Ward, chairman, and Arthur Garfield Hays, counsel for the Union.
 "A prompt test of the free speech gag," the wire said, lis the only answer to the trustees failure to revoke the ban. Recognition of fire speech means no discrimina- ton against minorities.
