 North redoubles because he be- lieves that he and his partner can make one heart doubled and re- doubled. East's hand is weak and lacks a good five-card suit, so the common sense thing for him to do is to pass and let his partner Ao doubled take himself out. In other words, it isn't stylish with the experts to bid over a redouble on weak hands,

It has been contended that in the bidding sequence shown on today's hand, East's first pass literally says, "I'm passing for penalties because I think I can defeat the contract" !" Otherwise, they argue, North in every case could make psychic redouble with impmity.
 However, that argument does not hold today. When such q hid- ding sequence occurs in Cleve- land next week, as it frequently VIII, East's pass will simply con-

SOCIAL ACTIVITIES
Junior League
 Hears Professor

"The best measure of civilization is how extensively measures of prolonging life and controlling disease are applied" said Dr. Howard Haggard, assistant professor of applied psychology at Yale uni- versity, speaking before the Junior League at their monthly meeting yesterday.
 Dr. Haggard spoke on the social significance of medical problems. In past ages medicine presented no So- cial problems, he said. Medical ad- vance precipitated social problems in abundance. The prolongation of life alone has done amazing things to society, bringing about the pres ent day agitation for old age pen- sions and social security.
 Dr. Haggard then traced the his- tory of medicine from primitive days, when Malign spirits were con- sidered the agencies that brought disease, down through the renais- sance and modern period of medi- cine, describing Grecian medicine from philosophy by 8 group of Greek philosophers and the begin nings then, of subservational medi- cine, the first use of anatomy in sur gery, Harvey's discovery of the cir culation of the blood, vaccination against smallpox, the discovery of anathesia in 1846 and finally, dis covery of the bacterial causes of dis ease of infection and, thence, sani- tation.
 In closing, Dr. Haggard said that he felt the greatest defect in medi- cine today is the gap between what could be done and what is being done. This gap is the biggest in his tory, he said. He urged public sup port and interest in the problems of medicine.
 Following the meeting the choral group of the League rendered three Christmas carols.

Where Nozis Rioted
 On Medieval Ground

HARDLY could the Nazis have AA picked more sacred ground in all Vienna for their attack on Theodore Cardinal Innitzer than the Square of St. Stephen and the majestic St. Stephens Cathedral. Here for hundreds of years have beat the pulse and heart of Ca- tholicism in central Europe.
 The great Gothic cathedral was originally a small Romanesque church, consecrated in ll47, but burned down in ll93. The second church was completed in l230, but supplementary construction has continued intermittently on the massive building for centuries.
 Nearly 100 years was spent on the ornate 450-foot South Tower alone. It was begun in 1859. On its second story it contains bell weighing 20 tons. The pulpit, added in the 18th century, is one of the most exquisite pieces of Gothic carving in existence. Its design includes the four fathers of the church.
 St. Stephens has been Vienna's watchdog" through countless trying periods. including those tragic days when the Turks marched westward in 1883 and again when the French threatened Austrian supremacy in 1909. From its ancient tower gold-braided generals have stood watching att tacking armies and sending forth messengers upon hazardous mis- sions. One room of the tower is an abandoned fire watch where guardians of the city's safety kept

The United States could restore
the purchasing power of half the

worldwide price of S1.29 an ounce
on silver, Senator Kew Pittman,
Nevada Democrat, told the wes-
tern division of the American Min

Present policy of the govern
ment is to pay 43 cents an ounce
for the uncoined metal and then
impose a value of S1.29 an ounce
on coined silver. The higher price
ON the uncoined metal would open
enormous new markets to Ameri-
can trade, according to Pittman.

proposal that the government &C, =
