L. A. HAY
CHICAGO GRAINS

CHICAGO, Dec. %. UP)-Wheat
prices again touched year high
IL trading here today. only to meet
with heavy profit taking selling
that erased all of the early gains
and substituted net loses of a point
or 50.
At the close wheat was IA Az
cents lower, December 1.37h. New
corn was q cent lower to u cent
higher, December $1.O9A, old corn
was unchanged to "A cent higher,
May $1.04B, and oats IS to 13s cents
lower, December 51R cents.
The market encountered a rath er
broad demand for futures on the
part of commission houses and pub
lie speculation at the opening that
carried prices up better than a cent
a bushel. Strength in foreign mark
cts, buying of cash wheat by i'm
porters and a strained political sit
uation abroad all combined to in
duce the upturn. Profit taking be-
came heavy on the advance, howev-
er, and the market fell back, uncov-
ering stop loss sales on the way
down.
Corn followed wheat upward early
but held firm when the leading GER
cal reacted. Oats. rye and soybeans
also reacted after touching new
high marks.

While Hoffman's expect com- municated with Wilentz, three other men supported the contention of Wilentz and Hauck that nothing the governor has produced has shaken the states case against Hauptmann.
 Report Is Spiked
 Dr. Charles R. Mitchell, Mercer county medical examiner who made the post mortem examination of the Lindbergh baby, spiked in part a rurnor that "the man who did the actual Kidnapping" was in secret cus- tody and had confessed. Reports of the confession" made by the prisoner" quoted him as saying that the infant died four weeks after the Kidnapping. Mitchell as- serted today that his autopsy proved the child was killed almost imn1e- diately after being kidnapped. Tt could not possibly have been alive two weeks before the body was found," he said. His statement did not stop the rumor that suspect was in custody or under surveil- lance. Neither Hoffman's investiga- tors nor state police would com- ment.
 Second One Against
 The second man ranged against Hauptmann was a physicist present yesterday when Loney and Arthur Koehler of Madison, Wis, the lum- Der expert who built that phase of the states case against Hauptmann examined lumber from the attic of Hauptmann's former home in a Columbia university laboratory. Re- fusing to be quoted by name, he said he was most impressed" by the manner in which Koehler an- swered Loney's contention that the

 Betting on Winners


 Betting on Winners
 Reynoldstown was 10 to in the betting. Ego was 50 to 1 and Bach elor Prince 66 to 1. The time of the race was nine minutes and 37 sec- onds, compared to the record of o:20 Is set by Reynoldstown last year. Reynoldstown, third horse in history to win the race two years in success sion, won by 12 lengths. Ego was six lengths in front of Bachelor Prince. Davy Jones, owned by Lord Mild may of Flete and ridden by an am- ateur, the Hon. Anthony Mildmay, his son, had abominable luck. He ran out of the course after the canal turn near the finish, where he had a six lengths advantage over Rey- noldstown. He had led the field most of the way.
 Only Seven Finished
 Only seven of the field of 35 fin- ished the trying course of four miles S56 yards, with itS 30 hard jumps. After the first three came in order Crown Prince, Tnversible, Provoca- tive and Castle Irwell. Avenger, who had never gone over the course be- fore, was strangely enough made the last minute favorite in the betting at 100 to 30, displacing Golden Mill CT. Avenger, however, fell on the first time around while running third, and broke his neck.
 Change in Betting
 The reason for the last-minute change in betting, despite the fact that neither Avenger nor his jockey, T. F. Rimell, had been over the Grand National course before, was the softness of the going, which was much in his favor. Tips on Avenger flew around England overnight and the betting was heavy. The betting on the other finishers was Crown Prince, 66 to 1, Inversible 40 to 1, Provocative 8 to 1 and Castle Ir- well to 1. Pete Bostwick, the Amer ican sportsmen, was riding Castle Irwell, which he owns. Bostwick at least had the satisfaction of fin- ishing. He rode J. H. Whitney's Dusty Foot in 1893, but Dusty Foot fell. Last year he was on Castle IT, well, which fell Six jumps from home.

Alarmed over the mounting toll
Of automobile accidents, Senator
Harry 8. Truman CD, Of Mis-
souri,, today announced that he
would introduce a bill in the next
Congress to set up Federal stand
ard for the issuance Of drivers
licenses.
In explaining his plan the Sena-
tor said that he would not require
that Federal licenses be issued, but
that he would require each State
to issue licenses which would meet
specified Federal requirements.
The law, as suggested by him,
would make it felony for any
driver to pilot his car across q
State line without the license.
In commenting on the PROPOSE
ton, Senator Truman said:
Automobile accidents and
fatalities have increased to such
an alarming extent that some
thing should be done to stop
them. Very few States have
drivers licenses. A number OF
cities require drivers licenses.
but merely require them as a
revenue measure.
''If the Federal Government
required a State license based
on aSility to drive a car before
that car could be driven in inter-
state traffic, just as an air pilot
license is required, large num-
ber Of reckless drivers would be
removed from traffic, and a
large number Of automobile &C.
Cidents would be avoided"
The Senator added that in the
District and at Army posts Fed
eral license meeting the require
ments set up should be demanded.
Informed of the manner in which
licenses are issued in the District,
the Senator expressed satisfaction
at learning that a strict test is
necessary before the driver is
licensed.

Practically all contract bridge systems have become standardized. Bridge players have taken the best features from each of the systems, so that today any writer on contract who offers new plan of bidding actually makes these accepted fea- lures the foundation of his new system" They are the principals adopted by the expert players.
 I have just completed careful study of one of these new systems, published recently in the form of a "self-teacher." It is "The Culbert- son System Self Teacher" prepared by the late Louis H. Watson and I. H. Bloom.
 Bloom has the ability to write about bridge so that it can be un- derstood clearly by even the begin ner in contract.
 Watson ranked as one of Amer ica's outstanding bridge players and writers. He had a phenomenal tournament record in 1885. having won three major tournaments. fin- ished second in three, and ranked third in three others.
 He wrote several books on bridge. His first great success. and still a popular seller was Watson, on the Play of the Hand"
 His latest book presents contract bidding in such simple and under standable terms and l am pleased to present . series of l2 articles from this book.
 The first lesson deals with the opening bid of ono in q suit.
 Before I got into this matter, I
