 Cocktail Party

Saugus, Mass, July l2--(UP) -- Fourteen pupil-guests will sign af- fidavits tonight, that they neither saw nor tasted liquor at an alleged cocktail party given by Miss Isa- belle Hailin, 25, pretty blonde high school English teacher, according to her counsel.
 Attorney Daniel Canning said he affidavits will be presented to the Saugus school committee at 'spe- cial meeting tomorrow night to consider the demand of Miss Hallin for a public hearing op the com- mittee's request for her resignation
 The resignation request followed circulation of rumors that Miss Hal- lin had served cocktails to pupils attending a dramatic club rehear- sal at her home.
 Defended By Pastor
 The attractive teacher, now at a rest home, gained a new ally yes- terday in the Rev. Harold Thurs ton Handley, rector of St. Johns Episcopal church, of which she is parishioner.
 While not mentioning her by name, Rev. Handley said he was thinking of one of our workers--a member of this church and school teacher in the town--who appar- ently has been condemned by gos- sip and rumors." aS
 He urged public hearing in the case so that townspeople may "have the chance to attend and see this young woman completed vindicat- ed." He offered to preside.

State Bridge Players
 In S.N.E.T ournament
Championship Matches Open at Mohican Hotel, New
 London Thursday-FOur Title Holders Entered

The Southern New England Con- tract Bridge Championship which for six years has climaxed the sea- son of New England when the New York experts migrate to New Londan Conn.,, to tilt with the best players of New England, announces through its executive committee that 1t will not award masters points to the winners. ..t
 Leagues in Battle
 Master points are ratings given in addition to the regular trophies and, at present, are issued by four diff ferent bridge leagues.
 Following in the footsteps of the Eastern and Vanderbilt contract bridge championships, the latter sponsored by sportsman Harold s Vanderbilt, the Southern New Eng land Championship refuses to enter into the master point war now being waged by the American Bridge Lea que and the United States Bridge Association. The two passive leagues are the National Bridge Association and the Pacific Coast Bridge League
 Osborn Comments
 Lewis Osborn, chairman, speaking for the Southern New England executive committee says:
 "The over-crowded market of master players plus the competitive bartering of two rival leagues is not compatible with the dignity and the sociability of the Southern New Eng land Championships"
 The refusal of the Southern New England tournament to issue master points, marks the third major championship to defy the leagues and to take the stand as an inde- pendent organization.
 The Southern New England Championship will be held at the Mohican Hotel, July IS through IS Four events will be run off, includ- ing a mixed pair, open pair, team of four and consolation game.
 Such New York bridge stars as Mr. and Mrs. P. Hal Sims. Sherman Stearns, s. Carton Churchill, Charles Goren. Charles Lockridge. Mrs Robert B. Fuller, Sam Fry. Jr., Ed ward Hymes, Jr, Miss Ruth Chase, and Jack Dreyfus (the latter four last year title holders) have signi- fled their intentions of competing again.
