Every writer on bridge, from time to time, gives the admonition that the declarer should study the dunn my, is own hand and the opening lead, in connection with the adverse bidding, if any, before playing a card to the opening lead.
 In other words, the declarer should form plan, and should at the same time consider other possible plans, before making a play that will settle the fate of the deal for good or evil.
 Today's hand is one in which the declarer has 8 choice between two lines of play, and it yielded the re- suit of a fulfilled contract to those who chose the one which offered the better chance of success.

CONGRESS MAY
 MEET THIS FALL
Mix.up on Adjournment May Call for Special
 Session Later

Washington, Aug. 1l.-(UP) - Congress, in an adjournment mixup ever farm and labor problems, viewed today the possibility of a special fall session as the way to avoid 8 party-splitting row.
 Leaders were considering asking Roosevelt to clarify his stand for early action on a farm production control measure, without which, he indicated, he would not make crop loans, despite falling prices in cot- ton, corn and wheat.
 Developments
 Giving emphasis to the fall spe- cial session to enact farm legislation were the following developments:
 1. Senate approval of reSolu- tion for the agriculture committee to hold regional hearings on a farm program and report a bill not later than one week "after (the start of) the next session"
 q. House democratic steerin g committee approval of a resolution which would give right of way on tAAO AVOk " v AdAA bAAAs WACtiCVCA drafted by the house agriculture committee.
 2. Admissions that it would be impossible to put through by Aug. 2l. the leadership's adjournment "deadline." . production control program.
 {. House farm state bloc threats to "kill" the wages and hours bill unless action is forthcoming on crop loans.
 Wages, Hours Split
 The wages and hours bill went before the rules committee which was reported split seven to seven on whether to give the measure right of way. Two republicans and i've southern democrats, the latter strong advocates of crop loans were reported prepared to vote to pigeon hole the bill until next session. Leaderc forecast. however. an eight to six vote for a rule bringing the measure before the house.

 land for $4,0oO. He made a deposit of $50, agreed to make a further cash payment of $450, and execute Q mortgage for payment of the balance, 5000 in one year.
 Improved Land
 Martone then took possession of the land, and commenced to clear the brush and make it more val- uable. In the meantime the con- tract was accepted by the Detroit representatives, who immediately sent the deeds here by another agent. The latter took the deeds to the office of John Herbst, local real estate agent, and then went out to inspect the property.
 Evidently MT. Martone's improve ment work was great success, for the agent, who is only known as "John Doe" made straight for the Herbst office, recovered the deeds while MT. Herbst was absent, left town, and has not been seen or heard from since.
 Order Granted
 Efforts by Mir. Martone to obtain the deeds and title to the land have been fruitless.
 Order of notice, to be filed on the defendants in Detroit, was granted the plaintiff by Judge Frank P. Me- Evoy today.

WORLD ZIONIST
 CONGRESS VOTE
Overwhelmingly in Favor of Creating Jewish
 State in Palestine

Zurich, Aug. 1i.-(UP)-The World Zionist Congress today over. whelmingly voted support of 6 resolution authorizing the executive committee to negotiate with Great Britain for creation of 6 Jewish state in Palestine. The roll call showed 300 votes for the majority resolution, 158 for the minority draft. The latetr would have spe- officially forbidden discussion with the British royal commission that might look toward partition of the Holy Land. The original resolution was amended, as passed, to include the stipulation that negotiators should not make any commitment on behalf of the Zionists and must report back to a newly elected con. gress. Such Q proviso had been tht subject of prolonged debate during the past two days.
 Plan Not Acceptable
 The resolution adopted charac- terized the British royal commits sion's partition plan, as it stands aS lnacceptapIe, put approves, m principle. the creation of . Jewish state. The vote by roll call showed a majority of the Zionist labor party and the general Zlonists. including delegations from the United States, favored the right wing section of the congress and that, aligned with the minority, were the Mizrahi, the orthodox religious party and a por- ton of the labor party. The minor ity section of the congress created an uproar which almost interrupt- cd proceedings when they charged Nahum Goldman, chairman of the meeting, with partiality.
 The protest delayed announce ment of the vote for several min. utes.

owners of the property in question. The suit seeks a court order to the defendants that they must comply with the terms of the contract and also asks $5,000 damages. A decree restraining them from selling the property to others is also requested. Attorney Francis Mcdonald appears for MT. Martone.
