when most Of his cards are in the
major suits.
East, following his custom, bid
one spade. Knowing him as some
times bidding very weak hands in
the last, position, West preferred
responding with one no trump
rather than two hearts. After
North and East passed, South bid
two clubs, West two hearts and
North three clubs. Recalling that
his partner was too weak to bid
his two hearts on the first round,
East decided to pass this.
In penance for his sin, East had
to watch the opponents make their
contract, which, with their part
score, gave them a game. Gave"
Is right. East should not have
dreamed of opening the bidding I'M

NEW YORK, April IA. Two
world championship prize fights
scheduled within the next two
months may result in new title
holders in the heavyweight and
welterweight divisions
Anyone who goes in for parlays
or long shots might do much worse
than place a double bet on Hen
ry Armstrong to become the new
welter king and Max Schmeling to
take the heavyweight title away
from Joe Louis.
Armstrong is undoubtedly the class
of his division today and the
standout little man" of the boxing
world. His impressive string Of
kayoes testifies to his ability to put
them away and, although he is
giving away considerable weight in
taking on Barney Ross in New
York on May rs, there are many
who think he will be able to spell
fins to the pugilistic career OF the
veteran Barney.
Armstrong Hard Hitter
On top of that - if Armstrong
should trim Ross-he might annex
third title since the winner Of
the match is scheduled to meet Lou
Ambers, present lightweight cham
pion, who seeks the welter crown.
BY all indications, Ambers is lit
tie too ambitious and may regret
it il he swaps punches with the
hard-hitting and fast-moying little
Negro. Incidentally, if Armstrong
should give both Ambers and Roas
a beating, he would be the only
fighter ever to hold three world
titles except Tony Canzoneri who
once pulled the trick by holding the
lightweight, junior lightweight and
bantamweight.

SHERIFF IS
FRIGHTENED

PUEBLO, Col, April l4.-Deputy
Sheriff Ralph Thompson has a
reputation for fearlessness.
So ice Shank, court reporter, was
surprised when Deputy Thompson
came, running to his office one night
when both were working overtime.
Some sort of a beast has broken
into my Office said Thompson.
Come help me trap him. He jump
ed at me when I opened the door
Cautiously the two men went to
the sheriff's office. Thompson drew
his revolver. They opened the door
a crack and Shank took look. Then
he laughed. He threw open the door

'DUSTINC' PEAKS
IS FLIER'S JOB
Marx Schellenberg, Former
Farmer Lad, Has fiaz-
ardous Work

DENVER, April 14.-For farm
lad who learned to fly where the
golden eagles test tEeir wings a
morning ride over the highest peaks
of the Rockies is about as mucn an
adventure as running around the
10 K before breakfast.
The higher you go, tic cmooth-
er the air." says the former farm
soy Mark Schellenberg, %.
He's so modest it's hard to get
him to tell about his work. But he
has busted off" most of the highest
peaks of the Rockies that veteran
pilots avoid
His daily stint is te take a pho
tographcr of the U. S. Forest Ser
vice to a ceiling c about $4,000
feet SO he can take pictures OF
Rockies. Hundreds of pictures are
needed for mapping that rough
country.
Schellenherg and his photogra-
piler have to be at least 10000 feet
above the subject. That means
when they are getting set for few
candid shots of the vests $4,000
foot peaks they must be at least "a
900 feet above sea level.
You can see for about 100 miles
at that tutitude If the air is clear"
says Schellcnberg 1T it wasn't Tor
the curvature of the earth you could
see farther"
Below them are miles of jagged
peaks where a pilot would be hard
pressed to find a landing, even if
he had all day and plenty of gas.
But it's not the lack of soft spots,
it's the treacherous up and down
air currents that make most pilots
avoid the high spots of the CONT
mental divide. The tricky air has
been known to smash planes against
sharp peaks.
Lack of oxygen and cold are
handicaps at those high attitudes.
Its always cold,' Schellenberg
says. The warmest we ever found
it was 10 above zero, in summer. The
coolest was 20 below, but we never
flew in January. the coolest month. /"

mands on them, they were given

cent less than they needed.
Cut budgets in these agencies
mean even more than rejecting
needy cases. They mean fewer case
workers, less attention to the in
creased number Of families for
whom each worker is responsible.
They mean that relief budgets for
each family, already at a minimum
must be reduced to a minimum
even for the short time each
family is helped financially.
Families turned away from private
agencies sooner or later must seek
help from Government relief. Not
only are they thereby robbed of the
road to recovery through the under
standing help Of the case-work
agencies, but they become a bur-
den on the taxpayers. In the end,
