There is a growing sentiment
in congressional quarters to
break away from unsound, hys-
terical panaceaS and adopt a
tried and proven policy toward
the national problem of unem-
ployment and general econom-
ic illness.
Much in contrast to the fol
low-the-leader" rubber stamp
spirit that prevailed when the
first program was launched to
spend the nation back to pros
perity, the Congress has greet
ed the new relief = lending =
spending spree plans with a
questioning attitude.
The new trend of reasoning
found budding in these quar-
tiers can be summed up in these
three points:
THAT prosperity, after all,
is not a commodity that can be
purchased with any amount OF
billions out of the public purse.
2-That prosperity is simply
a condition that can exist only
when the normal channels of
employment and public happl-
ness are cleared of such obJec-
tionable distractions as regl-
mentation, regulation and bur-
densome taxation.
3-That the 1886 "prosper-
ity" was a false and temper
airy economic condition that did
not create public happiness
neither for those temporarily
benefited nor those who are De
ing taxed to pay for it.
In brief, almost everybody is
hoping for a return to the
discriminating early days OF
1888 B. S. before spending).
Samples of the new trend can
be cleaned from many a speech
made in the House and Senate
debates these days. Here are
examples: Rep. Hatton Sum
mers of Texas: 1.-The legislat-
i've branch of the government is
coming to a full realization OF
its constitutional responsibility
in this government: It had to
happen" -. Rep. John OCon,
nor, chairman of the powerful
Rules Committee: "Priming the
pump won't do any GOOD II
there's no water in the well. we
should first see that there's
water in there by restoring con-
fidence to our people. Let's pro-
claim a national holiday to be
known as Stop Calling Names
Day"
And one of the Capitol wags,
discussing pump-priming, sug-
gests: Maybe we'd better Gre
ate a new office of government
and call it the office OF the
Prime Minister
Still on the question OF
spending, the Treasury Depart.
ment has just announced that
the current governments eX-
nenses since March 4, 1888, have
totaled $36, 1884 900 900. For the
benefit of those who relish sta
tistics, this means that $36 has
been spent for every minute
since the birth of Christ, near
" 1000 years ago; that the gov
eminent could have paved a
country highway 238 feet wide
with the dollar bills spent, and
that if all that money had been
placed end to end in dollar
bills it would have reached L.
142 times from coast to coast.
That is how much $36,oo4,-
O00, 900 is.

FORGET THE HONORS

NO MORE serious mistake can
be made in bidding than to favor
one declaration over another just
because it contains honors which
may be scored above the line. Of
course, if one declaration offers ex-
actly as good a chance for game
as the other, nobody can be blamed
for considering them..-. But favor
ing one form of bidding because of
the honor count when another ex-
tends = better chance to make
game or siam is the same thing in
principle as selling your birthright
for a mess Of pottage.

North naturally had nothing to do
but bid 3-No Trumps.
West made an inspired lead.
Considering his club suit hopeless
through lack of sufficient entries,
he decided that diamonds might
afford better defense, so led the

declarer.
How much better if South had
opened with bid of spades. When
holding a five-card major, it may
be laid down as an almost I'M
breakable rule that no trump
should not be the opening bid. AS
the cards lay, six-cdd could be
made at spades, by getting an
early diamond discard on clubs be-
fore trying the trump finesse.

Francisco Franco is massing IN insur-
gent army Of approximately 1,000, 900
men, dispatches from jhis Salamanca
headquarters said today. for Q spring
offensive designed to end the bloody
Spanish conflict.
The insurgent general staff was
represented as confident the pro-
longed civil war-which already has
ragged for year and half-would be
terminated on or about the second
anniversary of its outbreak
Salamanca dispatches said the
present insurgent army numbers 81S.-
900 veterans and is being reinforced
by $1,000 conscripts between the ages
of 20 and %. in addition to an TN.
limited number of Moors being re.
cruited in North Africa.
The insurgents said these levies
would build Gen. Franco's armed
strength up to well over 100000
men
Military observers believed the
main insurgent effort would be di-
rected toward dismemberment of gov
eminent territory by driving through
to the Mediterranean coast from the
South Aragon front above Teruel.
Frances troops have made important
gains in this sector recently and it
was considered probable his contem-
plated spring offensive would be
launched from the Aragon.
The insurgents are continuing their
pressure on the southern front, about
$50 miles south of Madrid, pending
a more decisive drive in the vital
eastern zone, where the key govern
ment cities of Valencia and BARGE
