best precepts of bidding by making Q jump response in the hope that opponents might not be able to find their best suit and thus might ac- cept c small penalty instead of probable greater gains by playing the hand themselves.
 The jump response effectually shut out West for one round, but when East now doubled four hearts, Vests distribution ifnpelled him to bid. Had he held tricks that could be made against an adverse bid he would have been justified in pass ing.
 When East went to five spades, 1t was clear that he was interested in the heart situation. West was now safe with his tricklesS hand in carrying the contract to six, which was made.

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
THE NATIONAL POWER POLICY

Today the term national power policy is irOni-
cal indeed For there is power policy worthy
of the name. The power situation never more
chaotic and never more inimica to the public wei
fare
A few months ago it was proposed that power
pool be established in the Tennessee Valley area,
under which the private utilities serving the area
and the IVA would cooperate on an equitable
basis to the end that all interests be protected
and that waste and duplication be avoided. The
pool plan has every economic Qualifications it met
with the approval of engineers, pubiciSts, utility
leaders and government officials If it had been
worked out satisfactorily in the Southeast, it would
have established precedent for other parts of the
country where government hydro projects I'M
derway. Yet now all pool negotiations have been
abandoned by government in spite of sincere effort
of utility leaders to aid in every way possible, and
no one knows whether they will be resumed or not.
The result of this, and of the advocacy by some
public officials of ruthless "war to the death"
against private utilities is becoming apparent The
private companies in the IVA area, not knowing
whether their property will be coniscated and their
markets stolen by taX-free, taX-subSdized gov
ernment agency, must hold their construction bud
gets to the minimum. at the expense of employ
ment and standards of service. These companies
are unable to refund securities at lower interest
rates as companies elsewhere have done in the in
terest of operating economy and rate reductions,
and are generally put in an impossible position.
But ultimate results infinitely more impor-
tant If government can descend to so low moral
level as to use its manifold advantages to destroy
private utilities in the Southeast, it can do the
same thing everywhere else-and can then turn its
attentions to other businesses that attract the greed
of polticians-Public Service Magazine.

NEED FOR ENTIRELY NEW RELIEF POLICY

1t is the Judgment of The Observer that the en-
tire relief program as now constituted should be
scrapped and junked and thrown out of the win
dow
And that in its stead, an entirely new policy
should be set up one that will be more in keeping
with the demands of a changed situation in this
field.
The administration has experimental with sew
eral kinds of relief programs.
1t has never hesitated to substitute one for an
other 1t has discarded at least three. The present
WPA is an outgrowth of all previous setups.
Conditions now would seem to warrant either q
complete rejection of the WPA, the creation of
new policy based upon the best that is incorpo-
rated in this agency and the eradication of much
in it that may be unnecessary at this time
OF course, this entire discussion, well as that
in congress as to what to do with the relief pro-
gram, is embarrassed by reason of the fact that
the administration nor the public knows the proVa
BILE facts as to what the present relief situation
amounts to or calls for.
A census of the needy or the able-bodicd uncm-
ployed-a census indeed, of the entire field IN
which various relief administrations have func,
toned-should have long ago been taken
In the absence of such count of hands and
heads and families who deserve federal or some
form of governmental bounty to provide them
selves with essential creature comforts it continues
necessary for the government to muddle along and
blunder about in its efforts to provide suitable
financing.
Congress is getting itself a-stradde this problem
at this moment and may be able to work out q
scheme that will take adequate care of those who
deserve such subsidy and, at the same time, spare
the taxpayers an immense amount of money that
may be wasted if the free-spenders in the admin
istration are unchecked Charlotte Observer.

1T DOESN'T ADD UP

Yesterday Harry Hopkins, who does not think
the figure of 81 500 100000 for relief can safely
be reduced, made public set of statistics showing
that states and local communities are now putting
UP nearly four times much for relief as they
supplied four years ago In 1898 the total was
$685., 2935 $40; last year it was Sl,244,952,9SS.
Yesterday, however, Miss Frances Perkins, sec
rotary of labor, made public figures showing that
employment for March, 1887, was substantially
equal" to employment in March, 1929. AT the same
time the National Industrial Conference Board re-
ported that employment in March was within four
per cent of employment for the same month in
1929 Substantially equal to" and "ninety-six per
cent of come pretty close to the same thing, so
the Department of Labor figures and those of the
conference board may be said to be in accord
Well, if the states and local communities are
putting up four times as much for relief as they
used to, and if employment is back within four
per cent of what it was in the spring of 1929, why
on earth do we still need 1900, 900 from the
federal government for relief?
Explanations are in order, for, twist this as you
will. it simply doesn't add up right.-Baltimore

There should be intelligent hui
