Continued From First Page.)

q decisive Tydings victory in the fol-
lowing statement:
"Tydings wins by a big majority. We
have studied carefully the situation
all over the State and are entirely
confident that he will carry at least 20
Of the % counties in the State and
five Of the six districts in Baltimore
City. This means that Senator Ty-
dings will receive at least 1913 votes
out of the 149 in the convention
There Is no reason why we should
concede, however, the loss of q single
county in the State nor Of q district
in Baltimore City. We make no such
concession.
During the last few months Sen
ator Tydings has steadily grown
stronger. Today there is no impartial
critic who does not believe that his
victory will be in the nature of q
landslide. The efforts Of the opposi-
ton to divert the attention Of the
Democrats Of Maryland from the real
issue have failed completely. They
also know that he has been . con-
scientious and efficient public official
They also realize that Senator Ty-
dings' record during the last IL years
as a member of the United States
Senate justifies fully their confidence
that during the next six years he will
remain in the United States Senate
and will continue to be a most useful
member of it.

campaign I desire on behalf of Sena-
tor Tydings, my associates in this
campaign and myself to ask your con-
tinued cooperation until the polls
close on Monday. We also gladly avail
ourselves Of this opportunity to ex-
press our gratitude to the men and
women of Maryland whose interest
and enthusiastic assistance have led
to this sweeping victory"

When the news is dark they avoid

Somebody snaps off the radio. The

Mr.. Hurban is S. He was 81 when
the World War broke. He was the

that at last there was a chance to

Mr. Sims.
The bidding:
South West North East
~ ~ ~ Pass
81 Pass Pass Pass
Mr.. Sims slam bidding methods,
while not the most scientific in the
world, generally get him to the right
contract with a minimum of bids.
The ace Of diamonds was opened. Mr..
Sims tTumped, and at first glance the
hand appeared to be laydown. He
saw that if trumps broke al. he would
have no worries since he could draw
trumps, run his fourth spade In
dummy If necessary and concede one
club trick. Accordingly, he laid down
the ace Of hearts and found West
showing out.
Now the fourth spade became 4
problem. Therefore. Mr.. Sims adam
doned the trumps and played the ace
and low club. East winning with the
queen and laying down the king of
diamonds. Mr.. Sims trumped, entered
dummy with the king Of hearts, and
led = third club, hoping to drop both
clubs. This play also failed, as East
discarded diamond.
Now. since the ace of spades was
the only entry left in dummy, Mr..
Sims had no chance to set up the
thirteenth club, but he did have a
choice Of two plays: First, to run out
all his trumps. In this case, if West
held four spades. he would be squeezed.
while If the spades were 2-3, the hand
would be laydown anyway. Mr..
Sims counted the hand, quickly re-
allied that Wes. would not have over
called Oh . flve-card suit headed by
ace-nothing and hence must hold at
least six diamonds. He also held four
clubs. Therefore he could not have
more than three spades.
However, now Mr.. Sims had found
a "sure-thing" play. His count of the
hand showed definitely that East held
three or more spades. Accordingly,
Mr. Sims simply played three rounds
of that suit. West, of course, showed
out on the third round, whereupon
MIR. Sims was able to run the remain
ing spade with dummy's low trump
and make his contract.

new TRAFFIC TURN
RULE PROPOSED
Would Require Motorists to Make
Left Turn From Left Lane
on One-Way Streets.

An amendment to the trafic regu-
lations which would require motorists
making a left turn from a one-way
street into q two-way street to ap-
proach the intersection in the trafdc
lane nearest the left side of the street
was proposed to the Commissioners to-
day by Traffic Director William A
Van Duzer.
Under the proposed change an ap-
proach for left turn from . one-way
street into q two-way street would be
made from the lane of traffic nearest
to the left side OF the street and by
passing to the right side Of the CEN
ter OF the street being entered.
The Commissioners referred the
recommendation to the ONCE of Cor
poration Counsel Elwood H. Seal for
legal opinion.
The purpose of the rule, Mr.. Van
Duzer said, would be to ban tho prac-
tice Of making left turns from one
way streets from the second or third
lane-a practice which, he said, Gre
ated traff1c hazards. A driver was
charged recently with making an i'm
proper left turn, but the case was
thrown out OF Police Court on the
ground there was no regulation clearly
prescribing how the turn was to be
made, the Commissioners were advised
