 ON MARITIME
 IS APPOINTED
President Names Important Organization--Many
 Problems Faced

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24. = Ma chinery of the Administration is in the making for long range multimillion dollar ship subsidy program as President Roosevelt appointed three of the new Mari- time Commissions five members
 The appointments made are Hen " A. Wiley, retired Navy Rear Ad- miral of Haverford, Pa; Rear Ad- miral Harry G. Hamlet, former Commandant of the Coast Guard and George Landick, Jr., chief of the Planning Section of the Treas urys Procurement Division.
 First Big Task
 The first major task will be the formulation of procedure in sub stituting direct subsidies for the existing mail carrying contracts which must terminate on July l, 1887.
 The announcement of the appoint ment of the Maritime Commission takes a load off the minds of the Shipping Board Bureau.
 The reason is. that for nearly a year the Bureau, soon going out of existence, has withheld imposing Ia $1 100000 penalty upon the Unit ed States Line company in connec- tion with retirement of the Levia- than. The company is headed by P. A. s. Franklin, Kermit Roosevelt and Vincent Astor
 Tn return for retiring the Levia- than from service the company was to build new passenger vessel for the Atlantic trade or pay a fine of Ia million. The contract for the ship by agreement was to have been let ssast December @~
 COMMISSION MUST DECIDE
 There were hitches in the pro- cedure. The Government was to lend much of the money for the ship, so claimed a voice in determ- ming it's cost and style. A call for bids last December brought an of fer from only one firm, the Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock Company for $11 ,900,Oo0. But the Shipping Board found neither the price nor the design acceptable.
 Further extensions were given from time to time up to the end of this September. The argument was that the Board wanted new American ship in the merchant ma rine, and did not want to impose a fine that might return the whole line to the Government which once owned it.
 Equally the Bureau did not want to arouse partisan criticism that it was withholding a million dollar fine from company, some of whose members were close friends of the Administration
 Shipbuilders now have submitted more bids, the lowest, with certain qualifications, about $13,000,000. The decision on whether to accept or reject will fall upon the new Mari

WASHINGTON, Sept. "A. It wouldn't take much prompting for the Republicans to bring the charge that the supposedly impartial Sen- ate campaign funds Investigating committee is perhaps not wholly inn partial. The charge would be hot ly denied by the committee Chair man, Senator Lonergan, Connecti- cut Democrat.
 Square jawed Lonergan, sitting through much of the summer in his Senate office because of committee business, declares it was simply happenstance that the first three inquiries ordered were into matters involving Republicans in States where bitter contests were in pro- gress.

NO VISIBLE FIGHT
ON AMENDMENTS
But One May Develop Be-
fore Election To Prevent
Changes Asked


Raleigh, Sept. 15.-Organizations
seeking to promote the cause of the
new constitutional amendments are
being formed, despite the absence of
any evidence that there is serious op-
position to them
Headed by Charles G. Rose, of Fay
etteville, a committee has been form
ed to push the amendment provid-
ing for an increase of the Supreme
Court to seven members. The propos-
ed Constitution would confer upon
the General Assembly the power to
enlarge the court from five to seven
members. There was much opposition
to such a change several years ago,
but the death of two members of the
high bench since that proposal, both
of them being incumbents at the time,
has helped to establish the argument
that the court is Overworked.
The lead naturally is being taken
by the lawyers, a misfortune politi-
cally, since beating the amendment
hitherto would have been made easy
just cause the bar wishes such a
change in court personnel. But litiga-
ton has been so greatly increased in
recent years that the work of the ap-
pellate courts has been doubled

Solution to Previous
Contract Problem
BY w. E. M'KENNEY
American Bridge League Secretary

BY w. E. MKENNEY
American Bridge League Secretary
THERE is no advantage in
u opening the bidding, if you
are not prepared to continue aft
er your partner makes a construc-
tive response.
The principle of preparedness
is a very important guide in this
respect. 1t enables you to make
another bid in case your partner
makes an encouraging response;
that is, any response other than
one no trump or a single raise
in your suit, which you may pass.
1t need not be a strong rebid,
but you at least have kept the
bidding open and given your part
ner opportunity for further &C
ton. You may simply bid one no
trump, rebid your own suit or
name another SUIT, depending
upon the nature of your hand.
Therefore, even though your
hand contains sufficient number
Of honor tricks and a biddable
suit, if it does not contain a po-
tential rebid, it generally should
not be opened.
More than 80 per cent of all
opening bids are one in a suit,
and, with the exception of freak
ism hands, they may be classified
as follows:
IA minimum type opening-a
hand containing between 21z and
3 honor tricks with which YOU
are prepared to make only weak
iebid.
"A better than average open
1ng-a hand containing between
3la and Az honor tricks, with
which you are prepared to make
a more encouraging rebid.
3-A very powerful holding-a
hand just short of an opening
two-suit bid with which you are
prepared to make a forcing bid.
Let us start with the hands
shown here.
Although Hand A contains
three honor tricks and a biddable
suit, it nevertheless should not be
opened, because it. does not con-
tain a rebid, the essential REQUIRE
ment OF the principle of prepared
ness, Regardless of your partners
encouraging response, you would
not be justihed in rebidding your
hand at this point.
Although Hand B contains ap-
proximately the same number of
honor tricks, it nevertheless is a
sound opening bid of one spade.
because it contains strong inter-
mediate cards and you are now
prepared to rebid two no trumn
over any other suit response nude
by your partner.
Hand G also contains the mini
mum requirements for an opening
bid o. one in suit. but here again
