KNUDSEN ASKS
FEARS BE ABANDONED

WASHINGTON, Jan. Z. (UP1
William S. Knudsen, president of
General Motors Corp, told the
senate unemployment investigat.
ing committee Yesterday that he
hopes for q business comeback
in the spring. and appealed to
the people to drop. their fears of
the future.
The chunky, gray-haired Danish
immigrant, who rose from ma
chine shop to head one of the ma
TONS blue chip corporations. de-
Tended the eSrnpatiy'S actlon re-
Gently in laying off 10000 work
ers and doubted the worth of Mr..
Roosevelt's suggested balanced
production" views.
Asked by Sen. James F. Bynes,
D., S. c., chairman of the commit
tee, for his opinions on President
Roosevelt's proposal that industry
sit about a conference table with
the government to plot production
more in tune with possible con-
sumption in order to avoid season
al cups" and clowns" Knudsen
said:
"If you want to level out the
curve you will have to control
sales-not production"
Sen. Carl A. Hatch, D., N. M,
argued that unemployment of the
men would aid in restoring con-
fidence which in turn would AID
business by stimulating sales
Knudsen looked intently at Hatch,
waited courteouslv until he had
finished and then fired:
"Do you think putting $4,000
men back to work would dispel
fear? l can't say myself whether
it would"
Knudsen agreed with Senator
Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr., R., Mass,
that certain policies of the New
Deal have something to do with
fear psychology" But when Sen
ator Byrnes hastily INTERCEPTED q
question about what he would
have the government edo about
it," Knudsen turned his eyes to-
ward the ceiling, ran finger over
a ruddy cheek, took a drink OF
water and said:
"Pm not in a position to say
about that"
Earlier when Byrnes had pro-
jccted a similar inquiry, Knudsen
had ducked it. He said he had no
theories on how the government
could aid in stabilizing employ
ment but said there is among the
consumers "a real fear that you
just can't put your hands on"
81 believe it is a temporary re-
cession," he said earnestly. Il
have only the hope that the peo-
pie will have confidence in the
future"

should like to have letter from
Mrs. Laube.
The letter has just come to hand.
1t is long one and cannot give
it all, but here are a few para
graphs:
II am teaching Pepper, and plan
to show him at the Worlds Fair In
New York. Pepper knows how
many days there are in a year. He
can tell time by looking at clock.
He knows how many hours there
are in a day and how many minutes
in an hour.
HE can give the names of many
flowers and animals. He knows and
names all the main colors. He can
spell out the name OF the President
of the United States.
"He knows who discovered Amer

numbers and can multiply them.

Other animals have learned to

have learned to tap out answers to
simple arithmetic problems.

The king of spades was opened.
The play was short and decisive. De-
clarer won the first spade lead, led
to the ace OF clubs. then cashed
with the king, dropping the queen.
He then went right after the dia-
monds, and when they broke 3-3
was able to discard his losing spade
and his losing heart so as to make
grand slam.
In spite of the fact that a grand
slam was made, we believe that game
only should have been bid, since the
club suit was not solid and there
was no reason why the diamonds
should have to break. However,
game surely should have been bid,
and South, a master player who
hardly ever criticizes his partner,
intended to speak up when North
suddenly went after him hammer
and tongs something along these
lines: What did you think had
when bid three no trump? Couldn't
you at least bid game, etc., etc."
South and the other players tried to
explain to North that maybe he was
at fault, but to no avail.
Here is a complete analysis of
what North's bidding really indi-
Gated: First, North failed to rebid
at the first opportunity. Actually
this was not really bad since, in
spite of his tremendous hand, North
had no convenient rebid. However,
in spite of that, South was willing
to bid once more, whereupon North
went to three no-trump. South
naturally passed, and now West
came in with a brilliant double.
Naturally West had no real hope
of beating the three no-trump con-
tract, but he did achieve the desired
result. He promptly drove North
to four clubs. incidentally North
could not very well stay in three no.
trump-he had no spade stopper
But now, when North ran to four
clubs only, poor South had to
reason: obviously my partner has
no desire to play five clubs since he
failed to raise clubs at any time and
merely went to four clubs in order
to escape from what he feared was a
dangerous three no-trump contract"
