APPOINTMENT OF JACKSON
MAY CAUSE HOT DEBATE

Washington, Jan. 27.-A strenu-
Gus debate in the senate over Roose-
welt administration policy toward
big business appeared certain today
because of the Presidents nominal
ton of Robert H. Jackson, assistant
attorney general, to be solicitor
general of the United States.
He was appointed to succeed As
sociate Justice Stanley Reed, ele-
waited to the Supreme court to fill
the vacancy created by retirement
of Justice Sutherland.
Jackson's promotion is cosidered
sure to arouse senatorial critics Of
recent speeches in which he ham,
mered at certain "big businesses"
and accused capital of conflicting a
strike against Roosevelt rearm
measures.

the opening two-bid obliges their side to reach game, they argue the double raise is not 8 dangerous bid, but serves a useful purpose in warn ing partner not to try for slam. Even experts however, disagree on its value if the two-bid is made in minor suit.
 Today's hand, taken from du- plicate game, illustrates the value of this raise properly used. Only at tables where North immediately raised South's bid of two hearts to game were the South players able to stay out of an mmakable con- tract. Even the four heart contract must be played carefully.
 At most tables West opened a trump. The, successful declarerS won in dummy and took one of the minor suit illnesses. When this lost, the suit was returned and the cor- rect play was for South to lay down the ace and queen in his other minor suit.
 Upon regaining the lead with a club duff, dummy was entered with trump and a spade was ducked around to West. West then had to

CONTRACT BRIDGE
By VIM. E. MCKINNEY Secretary of the American Bridge League

This is the seventh of a series of articles in which MT. Mo Kenney reviews the latest bid ing rules of the CulbertSOn Sys- tenn and tells how to use them.
 
 Among the comparatively new features of the CulbertSon system is the double raise of an opening two-bid. Such raise, far from showing a good hand, is designed to show hand which will play satis- factorily at game but which can offer no conceivable support for a slam contract.
 For this reason. the raise denies any ace, king, void or singleton. It does, however, guarantee five small trumps or four trumps to the queen. Only experts thus far have gen. orally adopted this convention. Since

change over the world of work and wages The humble ones who did the work and drew the wages could not be expected to understand it: blithe- ly they went their accustomed ways until suddenly and incomprehen- sively their wc~!, was taken from them. A "job" is one thing; work" another. One could always find a job, of ordinary; jobs were small in- dividual segments of Work, which was an abstraction, an intangible reality, philosophic conception in the steady light of which all life as long as one could remember had been conducted. The cessation, the end of an theology, the punishment of god. It left vacuum.
 Joe found job, two weeks after taking his time at the plant. It was a rush job in a small factory, and it lasted a week. He found another the following month, which lasted half week. He obtained few days work, here and there, day by day. from the fountain of subsistence ceased, and there was no more work to be had. He looked, inquired, wait ed, expectant, hopeful, and there was no more work to be had.
 This passage of time and this shift of evil circumstances had an inevit- able effect on the household of Ter ry and Joe Murray. It is swiftly told. but slow and grinding in the actual adjustment, just as it is swiftly told that automobile bodies were no longer made, because automobiles abruptly ceased to be assembled, be- cause automobiles gradually ceased to sell to people woh impereceptibly ceased to find means of earning the money to buy them. Terry and Joe cut all small extravagances, cut all liivng costs, lived on her small wage, put nothing now in the bank. Then that small wage was insufficient, and they drew on the bank, and the lit tie house in Gardendale receded dimly in their vision. There was talk of shutting down the lace mill till better times, and then fright as- sailed them.
 Life was playing them cruel trick; life, instead of going for ward, however, haltingly. life was going back. Back with increasing momentum into world from which they had escaped.
