Opponents Take All - Bad No Trump Opener, Doubled Is Allowed to Ride and Decarer Is Set for
 Extreme Penalty
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-04-16

While do not approve of South's opening bid of one no trump in to- days hand it must be admitted that any one looking at his cards would be willing to give long odds that he would take more than one trick. As 8 matter of fact, he failed to take a single one, due in part to the fact that South was an experienced player"

Franklin Careful
The happy bridegroom-to-be
grinned:

So elaborate L. the wedding, so
numerous the attendants, that
Mrs. Macmillan intended to put
them through their PAGES several
times to make sure that each
bridesmaid knows her place in
the procession, each usher his
duty.
Since the bridal party is as large
as the chorus of a musical comedy,
this is no small feat. There are
eight bridesmaids, a best man and
10 uShers.
Christ Church q Bower
Christ Church, to which the
President and many notables will
come tomorrow for the wedding,
was a bower of white peonies and
lilies for the "preview" Of the
ceremony. Tall palms, screens Of
lacelike fern, and thousands Of
white blossoms made the little
chapel a fairyland.
After the rehearsal, Ethel and
Franklin will entertain their at
tendants at dinner at the Vice
Meade Hunt Club. They are din
ing there instead Of at the DUPONT
mansion because the house Is dec
GRATED for tomorrow's wedding, and
there is to be little activity there
until the reception guests arrive.
The bridal party danced until
the small hours this morning at
the Hunt Club, where they at
tended q dinner and dance given
by Mrs. j. A. Montgomery, jr.,
Ethel's maternal aunt.

Continuation of the heavy in
flow of foreign gold was largely
responsible for the large jump in
the national debt.
Periodically, while the United
States presently owns more than
half the worlds gold supply, the
Government at the same time has
the largest public debt IN history.
Revenues Increase
The gold sterilization program
by which new acquisitions of gold
are placed into an inactive fund,
and. continued demands for relief
money, forced the Treasury to Dor
row $2,225, OOO,O 900 during the year.
Under the sterilization plan, gold
is paid for with borrowed money
instead of new currency, q device
adopted last December to prevent
initiation.
Final figures for the fiscal year
disclose that revenues from income
taxes exceeded President Roose-
velt's revised estimate by more
than $25, 0O0,0
In January, the President pre-
dicted these levies would produce
$2,372, 900 900. When the yield in
March proved disappointing to
the Treasury, this figure was scaled
down by 1926, 100000. Up to June
"a, however, income tax collections
amounted to $2,127 100000 with
additional sums expected during
this week.
Both the March and June col
lections were SO per cent larger
than a year ago.
