first session of the 74th Congress was
in deliberation-whic in itself is
quite a record-there were 3,475
Senate and 9,270 House bills drop
ped into the hopper of the legislative
mill. in addition to\1 900 Senate and
House resolutions. This is a Crane
total of 13,745 measures introduced.
But of this great number only slight
ly over $50 went through the mill
and were enacted into law. Of these
less than one hundred were of gen
eral interest to or affected the coun-
try at large. White House vetoes
killed "a of these. mostly of private
nature. No less than 40 amend
ments to the Constitution were pro-
posed-1S in the Senate and % in
the House. None met favorable
action.

Richards cup, the former Ma tional Auction Pair trophy, and the Cleveland Whist Club cup, the former National Auction Team of Four trophy.
 However, last year, these two tro- phies were put in play again at the Western States tournament. This tournament will be held this year in Cincinnati, Sept. 25-28, inclusive, and will attract all the stars of the middlewest, as the winners and runners-up will receive master points.
 The president of the Cleveland Whist Club, Elmer J. Babin, is also a member of the defending team this year and, of course, he and his teammates will be eager to re- tain this trophy for their club. The play of the hand is one of the strong points of this team and here's an example of their defen- sive play.

 When East refuses to cover, de- clarer rather hopes that the flnesse will fail, as he would like to make four spade tricks. These, with three hearts, the ace of clubs, and the diamond trick he has already made would give him his contract. But dumny's ten spot holds, so now a small spade is played, declarer winning with the ace.
 A small heart is led to dummy and the king of spades cashed, in the hope of the spade suit breaking. But West shows out, discarding a small heart. Declarer now cashes two heart tricks, West discarding a diamond.
 Declarer now makes nice play and leads a small club. If West is careless and plays the nine, declar- CT will make his contract, as he will go up with the ace and then throw West in the lead by returning a club.
 However, when Babin played the hand, he went right in with his king of clubs and now the only trick the declarer could make was the ace of clubs, his contract being defeated ore trick.
