JUNGLE RAYS CORNER

One Roman poet is known in his
tory by short name-Ovid-but
In real life he had a rather long
one, Publius Ovidius Naso.
His father, wealthy man, lived
in East Central Italy, but sent Ovid
and his elder brother to Rome to
Be educated 1t was the fathers
hope that both his sons would be-
come lawyers.
As It turned out, the elder son
died at the age of 10. and the
other one preferred to be a poet.
Thus Rome lost two lawyers. but
the son who lived became one of
the leading poets of ancient times.
While still a young man, Ovid
spent some time in Athens. He
also visited Asia Minor, and on his
return trip made tour of Sicily.
It was the fashion in those days
tor rich young Romans to finish"
their education by travelling to the
East.
Some of Ovid's writings were
worthy to last through the ages.
Perhaps his greatest work was a
long poem which told the story of
legends and myths. 1t was writ
ten In Is parts, or books"
The early parts OF the long poem
wove together stories of the Greeks
and Romans. about the, e,screation of
the earth. about Titans.or giants,
md about the Clympian gods. At

South certainly overbid his hand,
but his play made up for it. West
opened the king of hearts, and
when East for some reason or other
gave him the nine-spot, continued
the suit. Declarer trumped and
played low club to dummy's queen,
which was allowed to hold. A third
heart was now ruffed and the king
of clubs laid down. West won with
the ace and now all too late made
the shift to spade. Declarer won
with the ace. cashed the jack OF
clubs. ruffed the five of clubs with
dummy's jack of trumps, ruffed
another heart high in his own hand,
played the ace and small trump,
winning with dummy's queen, and
now discarded his one losing spade
on dummy's 18th heart, thereby
making the contract.
The hand was lucky. It required
a 4-3 heart break and a % trump
break, plus bad defensive play by
the opponents. Even In view of
Easts silly play of the nine to the
first heart lead, there was still no
earthly reason for West to continue
the suit. Let's even suppose that
East held q singleton heart and de-
clarer had been so. foolish as to
contract for game in diamonds with
three losing hearts. Dummy's cards
were so completely worthless that
there wasn't even the vaguest pos
sibility of declarer being able to
shed any losing hearts.

TRENTON, N. j., Jan. THE
"inSide" story of the Hauptmann
case from the pen of the man who
faced political death to stay the
execution OF the German car
penter may soon be told. And
another week may see payment of
the reward offered for informa-
ton which led search for the
kidnap-slayer of the Lindbergh
baby to Bruno Richard Haupt-
mann.
SOON LEAVES OFFICE
With less than two weeks of his
term remaining-it expires on
January 17-Gov. Harold Hoff'
man was reported busy with two
matters today-one the compile
tion Of articles he is preparing for
several magazines: the other, a
statement t. accompany his de-
cision on the reward.
For the reward there are two
principal claimants-John Lyons
and Walter Lyle, who in Septem-
Der, 1884, were manager and at
tendant in a gas station where
FIauptmann passed one of the
Lindbergh $4,000 ransom bills.
CLAIMANTS BITTER
For months they jubilantly
planned to split the reward. To
day they are bitter toward each
other and each maintains that
he alone is entitled to the $25, 900
which the legislature authorized
as reward and empowered the
governor to pay solely on his
own judgment.
If there is an "inSide" to the
Hauptmann case, Governor Hoff-
man can tell it, for he visited
Hauptmann in his cell, secretly
at night, talked with him as man
to man and came away convinced
Hauptmann'S execution would not
serve as answer to the Lindbergh
kidnap-murder.

Moving obliquely against the
Hague administration, the CIO
filed charges of U. S. mail tamper-
ing in Jersey City. These charges
we're carried directly to the Justice
Department and Postal Inspection
Chief Kildrop P. Aldrich and, per-
force got results. The PoStoffice
Department speedily assigned two
men to the case. Inspection serv-
ice officials added:
"a thorough investigation has
been launched. 1t will be pur-
sued as fast as possible, and
until the case has been solved"
NAMES HAGUE
Morris Ernst, CIO counsel for
New Jersey, acted for the CIO, lay:
ing his charges before the Justice
Department and Aldrich. Point
edly, he referred to Hague's posi-
ton as unqualified Democratic
leader in New Jersey, and as
pointedly observed that in such a
case the Government must newt
ably clear up the whole thing thor
oughly and without delay. He
made no charges, directly against
Hague, but alleged that someone
tampered with the mails, and that
the result of this tampering was
information later made available
by the mayor to newspapers.
The entire case followed moves
of the American Civil Liberties
Union in New Jersey, to mail out
letters enclosing data, charging the
Hague administration with flaunJ-
ing the law and illegally fighting
organized labor.
OFFERS PROOF
One of these letters, addressed
to Sgd Rose, was returned, ap-
parently unopened, to the sender,
with the notation that the address
was wrong. Then, said Ernst, dis
playing his exhibits, there ap-
Ipeared in metropolitan newspapers
a photocopy of what he declared
was "unquestionably the letter in
the envelope and addressed to
sgd Rose"
OF this particular letter on this
particular letterhead, Ernst ex-
planned, there was only one copy.
He added that handwriting ex-
perts had been employed to 60
over the original and the photo
copy distributed by Mayor Hague,
and that the details of the two
checked mathemstically in every
detail.
