Solution to Previous Contract Problem

Contract Problem
 It ls true that the majority ot bridge hands written about ara game or slam hands. However, the part score hand is perhaps the most difficult to handle, due to tho fact that you have to know when to stop and, as the high cards are more or less evenly distributed, great care must be exercised in tho play of the hand.
 There's n lot to to-day's hand if you will lay out the cards and study them, even more than ap- pears on the surface.
 When North doubles Q diamond and East overcalls with one heart, he is showing weakness. In other words, he is really saying to his partner, "I am afraid to leave ono diamond doubled i'm do not know that the hand is really weak enough to make that bid, but of course thcro isn't much strength In the hand and 1t does tell tho story at low point and quickly.
 Now, of course, WestY won't be- come over-ambitious with his heart holding, because his partner Hub tola HlU he uuH WeuN HuHu'
 North's second double still is asking for information. It must not be treated as business dou- ble. Remember that the partner did not respond to tho first double and has not put in n bid.
 When West over-cQls a spade bid with two hearts, hc ls only striving for n part score. North realizes that his partners spade bid cannot be strength, but he is

HITLER EXPECTED
TO REVEAL POLICY
Announcement on Foreign
and Domestic Problems
Is Due Today.

BERLIN. January 24-Preparations
for a cabinet meeting this afternoon
at which Reichsfuehrer Hitler is ex-
pected to make a highly important
announcement on far-reaching for
eign and domestic problems appeared
to be in progress at the chancellory
today.
The chancellory was heavily guard
ed by police and Reichswehr detach-
ment stood at attention awaiting the
arrival of cabinet members.
Official circles expressed doubt that
results of the meeting will be made
public because, they said, the session
lis confidential.
Chancellor Hitler has been reported
to be contemplating a reaflmation Of
his preference for bilateral agree
ments among European nations over
the "multilateral pact mania" He
also has been expected to renew his
plea for arms equality as a prerequisite
for return to the League of Nations.
Another problem confronting the
Reichsfuehrer is the future status Of
Hjalmar Schacht, whose term as act
he has exercised almost dictatorial
powers over the ReichS economic af-
fairs, expires February 2.

Permit Again Sought to Bring
Back Executed Criminals Life
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, January 24.-An-
other duel with death is being planned
by DR.. Robert E. Cornish-and this
time a human life may be the prize.
DR.. Cornish, 31-year-old University
of California biochemist, who gained
notoriety last year when he restored
life processes to pair of dogs that
had been clinically killed by aSphyxia-
ton, is en- route to see Gov. B. B.
Moeur of Arizona. DR.. Cornish said
he will ask permission to experiment
with the body of an executed criminal.
Because capital punishment in Ari-
IONA is effected by lethal gas, the body
of q prisoner executed in that man
ner would be ideal for his work, he be-
lieveS.
Gov. Moeur several months ago
abruptly declined to consider the ex-
pertinent, but DR.. Cornish Is optimistic
of convincing him of the scientific
merit of the test. He bases this faith
on the fact that Gov. Moeur is man
of the medical world himself.
"In any event, however, am not
quite ready yet to try the experiment
on a human organism" he said
The dogs "eat, wag their tails,
bark, recognize persons and respond

revered and trusted as the Supreme
Court" They would give national
continuity" on matters about which
there can be no disagreement as to
need for continuous policy"
He suggested such council might
be required to hold solemn referen-
dun" before this country could enter
any war beyond its borders.
THE first STEP" the Secretary said,
"is to provide for general, partisan
expression of purpose on such issues
as tariffs, debts and land policy, all Of
which issues are practical approaches
to the ultimate economic and spiritual
question, Peace or war?
Council to Be Small.
"Such a council should be small"
Wallace said. -Four persons of a
character and repute utterly above
partisanship or class narrowness ought
to be enough. I would have them
appointed by the President, with the
consent of Congress, for overlapping
terms-say, for 9, II, IS and Is years.
Like the cabinet, this council would
be closely attached to the presidency.
Unlike the cabinet, it would be a
rotating, permanent body, continuing
across the administrations.
Ordinarily it takes seven years to
amend the Constitution of the United
States. That is. in effect, a veto by
popular mandate; but, with events
moving at their present rate, seven
years is a perilously long time. BY
means of constitutional Interpretation,
the Supreme Court can veto statute;
but first the question has to reach the
Supreme Court, and the whole process
moves slowly and arbitrarily, in the
light of the past. The proposal now
is that, by council referendum, we give
the voters direct power to amend the
Constitution and to veto measures
which, in their judgment. are now mis-
guided or no longer useful.
This could be done, the lawyers
tell me, by amending article of the
Constitution"

apparently still is affected by the ex-
perience they underwent.
"The dogs were dead three min
utes," DR.. Cornish declared. Their
hearts had stopped, circulation was
interrupted and breathing had ceased.
Apparently that brief space was long
enough to allow disintegrating pro-
ceSses to begin in the brain"
Therefore, he said he will not at
tempt his experiment on human
organism until complete recovery
has been produced in animals.
He declared himself confident that
he can Danish death, restoring life as
it is expressed In physical functions
But he has not yet been able to prove
that this can be done without leaving
the brain impaired. There is no use
restoring life to human being if it
means living as an idiot" he said.
"In the case of persons electrocuted,
Suffocated by smoke or gas, or shocked
to death, it might be possible to re-
store life in them. Sometimes patients
die of shock or lowered resistance
under anaesthetics on the operating
table. We might be able to save many
of them.

organism might pass before it ceases
to be alive and becomes dead, he OBJ
