ED. R.'S REQUEST FOR RELIEF WINS
 COMMITTEE Q. K.
House Group Votes Billion and Half for Relief Work
 for Next Fiscal Year

WASHINGTON. May 13. - The House Appropriations committee to- day overrode economy demands and recommended a billion and half dollars for work relief during the fiscal year beginning July 1. It reversed the action of the sub-com- mittee which had voted five to four two days ago to hold it to a billion, one-third less than President Roose- velt asked for.
 The full committee voted g to IA to boost the relief figure. It also adopted an amendment by Repre- sentative Clifton A. Woodrum of Virginia to limit Works Progress Administration appropriations for the coming fiscal year strictly to the billion and a half figure. Final action followed defeat of proposed amendment to set the figure at a billion and a quarter.
 As finally approved the bill would limit expenditures for high ways, roads and streets to S4l5,- O50,000: public buildings, parks, rec reational facilities, airports and other transportation facilities, flood ccntrol and general conservation projects to $63o ,0Oo,o GOO; white collar ard women's projects to $379, ,930, o0o.
 Administration leaders said a poll of the House indicated approval of the Roosevelt billion and 8 half work relief despite efforts of the economy block to slash it one-third. IL is expected to reach the floor of the House late next week.
 The House ignored the Roosevelt recommendations and voted 395 to seven to limit the life of the Civilian Conservation Corps to two years. Chairman Black of the Senate La bor Committee predicted the Senate would approve the CCC as a perma- nent organization.

Mr.. BAchner's opening two-dlamono
bid was quite sound as he wished to
play the hand at game regardless of
partners holding. Judge Steuer nat
urally responded in his powerful
spade suit. After Mr.. Bachner's three
club bid, Judge steuer decided his
spade suit was worth one rebid, but
when his partner again denied sup
port by bidding four clubs, he jumped
to six of that suit, and Mr.. Bachner
promptly bid the grand slam.
A certain amount Of care had to be
exercised in the play Of the hand as
the cards were distributed badly.
After winning the opening heart lead
Mr.. Bachner thought of playing his
queen OF spades, then three rounds
Of trumps. If the trumps were divided
3.2, he could then discard all his los
ing diamonds.
After q little thought. however,
Mr.. Bachner abandoned this line Of
attack Is being too dangerous. He
played his ace Of diamonds and
trumped q diamond with dummy's
nine Of clubs. He then Mumped q
heart in his hand and, after trumpine
another diamond with dummy's queen
OF clubs, simply drew four rounds of
trunaps. He was then able to over
take his queen of spades with dummy's s
ace and discard his remaining two
small diamonds on the two top spades.
Mr. Bachner had found q completely
safe way to fulfill his contract. But
we know Of many players who would
immediately have drawn trumps and
lost the hand

POSITION OF RIGHT ARM
BY BEST BALL

EEP your eye ON the golfer who
his overanxious to kill the bali
and you no doubt win see him flap
the right arm around so that at
the top Of the stroke it is almost
straight out from the trunk Of
the body. From such a position it
is very easy to make the mistake
Of coming onto the bali from the
outside in, i.e., cutting across the
ball and adding a slice. Further
more such an extreme movement
adds an unnecessary tension to this
arm which it could very well do
without. The proper method is to
keep the right arm comfortably
close to the right side. Tommy
Armour for example keeps his right
elbow tucked in close but possesses
freedom of action nevertheless. Ar
mour's is more or less Of an ex-
treme position, most of the players
allow the right arm trif1e more
freedom after the manner Of Bobby
Jones above. On the longer shots the
Atlanta wizards elbow is raised
moderately and on the first stages
of the downstroke, drops abruptly
nearer the side. The cock of the
wrists is in no manner disturbed
by this motion and their power
is saved to be utilized later on.
The abrupt dropping Of the right
arm insures swinging path from
the inside, close to the body and
brings the clubhead onto the ball
straight along the line Of flight.
