This seems reasonable enough, ill view of the greater number of tricks in each hand, and the greater accuracy required where the declarer faces questions of strips, squeezes. or other so-called expert plays.

STERILIZATION
fund FOR U. S.
money PROFITS.
By ERIC FRIEDHEIM

1.N.S.) The TreaSury's two
billion-dollar exchange stabilize
ton fund, which was created in
1884 to maintain stability of the
dollar in world markets, today was
reported to have made a profit on
the majority of its transactions.
A high Treasury spokesman to-
day partially lifted the veil of
secrecy which has cloaked the
funds operations by asserting that
the United States hasn't lost any
money" on sterilization efforts.
The official strongly implied
that the fund has operated at a
profit up to the present time. He
declined to disclose details Of any
transactions, pointing to the fact
that an audit of the fund is only
made available to the President.
The fund was established with
the profit" realized by the
Treasury in 1884 through devalu-
alton of the dollar. Although ST.
OOO, 900 900 is available for protect
ing the dollar against fluctuation
in foreign exchange markets, only
5000, 10000 of this sum has been
utilized for exchange operations.

ROW TOBe
Renewed

G.N.S.) The Kansas City stock
yards case, which precipitated a
heated discussion between Secre-
tary Of Agriculture Wallace and
Chief Justice Hughes, today was
scheduled to be reopened under
an order issued by the Secretary.
Wallace said at his press con-
ference yesterday he had ordered
the proceedings of the case re-
opened so that the "procedural
defect" in establishing commits
sion rates for the area may be
cured" in line with the Supreme
Courts decision of April IS when
it held that in his original order
Wallace had not served ample
notice on commission men in time
to protest.
The Secretary said that under
the new order, commission men
will be given 30 days from date of
service of notice of rate settings
in which to file exceptions, and
if they do so, a date for oral agree
mentS before the Undersecretary
of Agriculture or Assistant Secre-
tary will be set.
Wallace also said he did not
believe the public had heard the
last of the debate on the exact
functions of the quasi-judicial
agencies. He predicted heated
debate" in the near future.

Q.N.SO The ADMINISTRATOR
$500, 900 900 slum clearance and
low-cost housing bill was thrust
before the House for DEBATE today
with a storm brewing over its con-
troversial provisions.
AS a major phase OF PresidenG
Roosevelt's recovery program, the
measure would permit the U. g.
Housing Authority to increase ITS
bond limitation from $500 DOC, 600
to $500, 100000, its rent subsidy
program from $20,000,000 to $4O,-
100000, and suspend for one year
the present requirement that local
communities provide 10 per cert
of the cost of Federal-flnanced
housing projects.
The last provision was expected
to bear the brunt of the fight on
the House floor. 1t was placed in
the bill at the insistence of Nathan
Strauss, the agency'S administra-
tor, who claimed it would Stimu-
late building.
Chief opposition to suspension
of the 10 per cent feature was
slated to come from the House
Banking and Currency Committee
which spent a month of bitter
wrangling in drafting the meas
ure. Although it was finally ap-
proved by the committee on q SO
vote, several members were absent
who would have opposed it.
