Against three hearts doubled, West
opened his singleton diamond, declarer
winning with the jack. Hoping to ruff
his losing spades in dummy, declarer
led the 10, whereupon East, winning
with the jack, returned his singleton
trump. West won the trick with the
queen and then played the ace OF clubs.
This was very poor play, but West
hoped that his partner could regain
the lead with the king Of clubs and
give him diamond ruff. When East
played a diScouraging club, West fol-
lowed with the ace and another heart.
Declarer now foolishly played the ace
Of diamonds, presenting West with the
setting trick
Declarer should have realized that
the third heart lead had squeezed East.
East, being unable to keep both his
queens protected and retain all his
spades, had discarded q spade, and
thus declarer should have made his
contract. After winning the third
round Of hearts, declarer would only
have had to play the ace and another
spade, ruffing in dummy, and dropping
all the adverse spades, and then re-
turn to his hand with the king Of
clubs and drawn the remaining trump.
The 200-point penalty gave East
and West an undeserved top score
West had presented declarer with his
contract; declarer in turn had given
West a run before proceeding with the
squeeze that had naturally developed
on East.

U. S. Governments, hesitant in re-

ranging from l-32d to 6-32ds of a

Some inactive carrier loans scored
sharp gains as result of small Offer

NEW YORK, May l2.-Continuing
the expansion shown for March, the
estipated value Of building construc-
ton for which permits were issued dis
played a further seasonal rise during
April. This gain. however. was not
sufficient to lift the April volume above
that for the comparative month a year
ago.
Volume Of permits for 215 stiles Of
the United States for April totaled
Se4,842, 1865, according to Dun g. Brad
street. Inc This contrasted with $76.-
598,907 for March, giving an increase
OF 1913 per cent The April, 1887. fig
urt stood at $l17,543, 1853. making the
year-to-year drop 27.8 per cent.
New York permits aggregated $l6,-
1877 699, or Alb per cent more than the
$ll ,419.827 for March, but were 403
cent less than the s27,11O,582 recorded
for April last year.
For the 2l4 cities outside Of New
York, April permit values amounted to
500, ,666. as against s65,17e,o $50 in
March and $90,433, 1876 for the corre-

TWO STATES CURB
OIL DRAST|CALLY
Oklahoma and Texas Both
Act to Prevent Sharp
Slump in Prices.
Blythe Associated Press.

Blythe Associated Press.
OKLAHOMA CITY, May 1.-THE
two major midcontinent oil States
cut petroleum production drastically
yesterday to prevent a price collapse,
but revolt was stirred by some inde-
pendent operators resentful over cur
tailment orders.
First to act in the face Of threat
ened price cuts was Texas, the Nations
No. ! oil State. with an order shut
ting down wells Saturdays as we'll as
Sundays. to effect a 1929 per cent
production cut.
Independent oil operators called a
meeting at Gladewater, Tex, to dis
cuss the shutdown order. Some opera
tors asserted 1t was "ruinous act"
but declined to be quoted by name.
Oklahoma followed with an emer-
gency order to cut May production
81 900 barrels daily to 405, 900 barrels.
The new order was 10000 barrels a
day less than production allowed in
April.
Other States to Act.
Four other States-Kansas, New
Mexico. Colorado and Illinois-were
ready to fall in line. said Art Walker
secretary Of the Interstate Compact
Commission, which synchronizes OF
production problems. None had taken
definite action, however.
Gov E. W. Marland of Oklahoma
saw in the States speedy action to
stabilize production the removal OF
a possible threat Of Federal regula-
ton.
This act proves" Marland said
that the States are capable of han
ding their own affairs. Waste of our
natural resources is matter of ma
tional concern and Federal control
was once seriously threatened in the
interest Of the consuming public"
The immediate factor squirting the
States to action was the Kanotex Re-
fining Co.'S cut Of IS cents per barrel
for crude oil purchases.
This factor might have gone virtual
ly unheeded had not refineries been
laboring under top-heavy gasoline
stock inventory, estimated at SO, 49,, 900
barrels. despite heartening drop last
week of 1875 1000 barrels.
The average nudcontinent basic
price for crude is $l2l barrel.
Forced to Take Cut.
The inside story was that c. M
Boggs. president of Kanotex asked
every producer from whom he was
buying crude: DO you want me to
close the plant, throwing men out Of
employment, stopping your crude out
let. or will you accept a 25-cent cut?"
The producers accepted the price
cut.
But Marland-father OF the inter-
state oil compact idea-and other op-
orators pointed out today that crude
cannot be produced under price
lower than now obtaining without
tremendous waste.
The consensus in the oil industry
seemed to be that the chaos of a few
years ago, when crude oil sold as low
as IS cents a barrel, could be avoided
by conservative slowing up Of all
operations.
Demand statistics forecast a volume
Of business in excess of last year,
record-breaking figures.
Preliminary reports to the Oil and
and Gas Journal indicated April gaso.
line consumption exceeded that of the
same month last year. and projected
requirements for May call for ship
ments higher than May Of 1887.
