with the queen in dummy, and East would show out. Now 1t would be impossible to keep from losing heart trick.
 There are four hearts out against the declarer. If they are divided 3-l, 1t is immaterial how he plays the suit. But he must provide against a 40 distribution. If the four out standing hearts are in the East hand, he cannot prevent the loss of trick.
 If all four hearts are in the West hand, however. 1t is not necessary to lose heart trick. All he has to do is play the king of hearts and, when East shows out, he can finesse West out of his hearts and make his grand slam.

 Can Ask Further Funds
 After the State has been awarded the initial $20,000 a year it can ap- ply for further funds after. an out line of it's needs has been made Needs, says the childrens bureau, will mean not only economic needs, but also the extent to which con- ditions lead to crippling. For in- stance, an epidemic of infantile paralysis in sparsely settled State might possibly prompt allocation of Federal funds out of proportion to the population of the State.
 Furthermore, says the bureau, the funds will not be considered as another pension system although there seems to be wide belief that such is the plan. Hundreds of let ters are pouring in from parents asking for pension for their crip- pied children.
 The fund will be used for med ical, surgical and corrective serv- ices and for facilities for diagnosis, disqualification and after care for children who are crippled or suf- fering from conditions which lead to crippling."
 Aim to Correct Hadicaps
 The purpose, in other words, is to correct handicaps which would keep individuals from a normal, self-supporting life, rather than to make them comfortable invalids.
 Consequently much emphasis will be placed on care and educational training after disqualification

JUNEAU AGAIN WILL SPONSOR
 BIRTHDAY BALL.
James J. Connors Named General Chairman by
 Mayor for Event

Juneau will again aid President Roosevelt in his fight to aid vic- tins of infantile paralysis with the annual Presidents Birthday Ball.
 The third nation wide Roosevelt Birthday ball will be held the eve- ming of January 30, and Mayor I. Goldstein today appointed James J. Connors as general chairman of the affair, details of which will be an- nounced later. MT. Connors will ap- point committee to assist him in the undertaking which has been a national affair for the last three years.
 The Mayor, who is leaving this evening with Mrs Goldstein for brief trip to the states, purchased the first ticket before his depar- ture, and also notified Henry L. Doherty, National Chairman, of Ju- neau's desire to again take part in the noble cause, and also of the ap- pointment of MT. Connors as chair man.
 Last years Birthday Ball was an especially successful event, s350 be- ing raised to go to the Georgia Warm Springs Foundation which is continuing the fight on the dreaded disease. The President has approved the suggestion that 70 percent of the proceeds raised by each local Birth day Ball be retained in the com mmity to be disbursed to local or adjacent orthopedic hospitals, or for treatment of local infantile paraly- SIS cripples, as each local committee decides The other 30 percent will be turned over to the national com m'ttee to go to the Foundation.
 In lending his name to the Birth day Ball again this year, President Roosevelt wrote National Chairman Doherty:
 Tt gives me much happiness to lend my next birthday, January 90 to the national committee for the Birthday Ball for the President for this purpose, in the hope that this effort will bring us nearer to the goal of forever ending the tragic consequences of infantile paralys S.
 You know how greatly I arpre- ciate all that you have done and are doing in this nation wide fight May l again express through you my gratitude to all those who are making my birthday the occasion for serving in this humanitarian cause. "
