is weakended, the influence of southern members of Congress likely will be approximately weakened. That is where they will feel the real pressure.
 Time and again the southern delegates have held balance of power in Republican conventions. Since they are often under con- trol of the party management in suppressing just such house cleaning" drives as Aiken's.
 The south's vote in national committee is relatively even for each state at present gets one vote. Aiken would change that.
 The south already has been hit elsewhere. The congressional re- apportionment of 1880 stripped southern states of several repre- sentatives in congress. Again, southern prestige and 'sindepen- dence" is being attacked by nor thern and western efforts to inn pose an anti-lynching bill.
 A Frequent Protest
 Further. the Wape-hOur hill threatens 10 deprive the south of it's hole-card in bidding for indus trial development. The south has cheap labor. Because of that, it is successfully inducing such in- dustries as spinning to move down there from the East.
 The wage-hour bill is designed ultimately to compel all parts of the country-including the south ito reach a certain wage level for the unskilled well above pre- vailing southern wages. New England, tryisg to protect its own spinning industry, is all for that.
 Southern statesmen often have protested that the north wants the southern states to exist as colonies rather than as states so they will supply the north with cheap raw materials and accept northern manufactures in return.
 Likely enough, some here think, that is the frame of mind in whi- ch they will view the Aiken pro- posal.

Politicians Try
 To Trim South
 Of Their Power
(By Preston Grover)

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan, 25, R)-The proposal of Gov. Geo. rge D. Aiken of Vermont, to shrink southern influence in Re publican councils turns another light on efforts in both major parties to trim the south's politi- cal prestige and power.
 The idea of dwarfing southern influence in the Republican set up is not new. Steps toward it have been taken repeatedly, and as things stand now, northern states get a bonus" of extra del egates because of the size of the Republican vote cast. Southern states, casting few Republican votes, get no bonuese.
 The Aiken proposal, however, strikes at another point the na- tional committee. He would give committee members vote in ex- act proportion to the proportion of Republican vote cast in each state. In southern states the am- ount of Republican vote cast is very small compared with the Democratic vote, so southern members of the national commit tee would have little to say.
 Strength in Congress
 The Democratic party dimmed the southern voice in its 1886 convention by abrOgating the 10C year-old tWo-thirds rule. O1 course, the 194O convention vii decide whether to nominate its candidates by a bare majority ol by two-thirds. But now that the precedent is broken, the prospect seems not especially bright for the south to have the two-thirdS rule restored.
 Several motives for reducing the southern influence in party organizations are evident. One thing seems certain. If the sou- thern voice in party organization

KENT COUNTY PRISONERS
ON SIT-DOWN STRIKE

Prisoners in the Kent county Jail,
sought for employment on the streets
in Chestertown last week in prepare
ton for Old Chestertown Day, refus-
ed to move from their cells when town
officers called for them. Town Of
ficers sought the prisoners for this
work under the provisions of the Pub
lie Local Laws for Kent county, which
states that prisoners over sixteen
years of age shall be subject to per-
form labor on the public streets of
any incorporated town in the county.
Refusal to perform such labor, the
law says, will incur penalty of two
additional days sentence for every
day he may refuse to do such work.
Town officials said that an officer
would call at the Jail each day this
week, right up to Saturday, in an eff
fort to get prisoners to work; and if
they refused this Employment which
the law provides they will see to it
that the two days penalty for each

fences.
In searching the law for basis fol
compelling prisoners to work on the
towns streets, officials found that
no other labor but work on county
roads and the streets of incorporated
towns is specified by the law. Off
Gals argue, therefore, that any other
work that prisoners are made to per-
form is outside the provisions of the
law, and should not be permitted.
Town authorities said that they
would not give up in their efforts to
get the prisoners to work on the
streets there, even if it necessitated
summoning them all and adding pen
alties on the sentences of all the in
mates eligible for this employment.

Lowell Thomas, well-known radio
news commentator, put radio waves
to two very different uses in one day
not long ago, when he talked by radio
talephone with the city of Bagdad, in
The kirrdom of Iraq, and then, few
hours later, described the experience
during his regular news radio broad
cast.

from a transcript of his broadcast
show:
"Tae first telephone call from New
York to Bagdad was put through to-
1av: telephone service halfway round
tl,e world, from o. Henry's Bagdad-
on-the Subway to the original Bagdad
of the Arabian Nights. The voice at
the other end, speaking from the fab
rIous city in the land of the Tigris and
the Euphrates, was that of Said
Pighed Rashid. Here, at the Amer
lean end, the telephone officials had
asked me to dc the talking.
at surely was appropriate to have
someone named Rashid speaking from
2sgdad. for, as you will recall, the

interested was evinced by the requests
that were made for further informa-

"The educational campaign of the

carried on throughout the year, stress

THE TRUMP COUl

It ID not necessary to lead a
trump through the opponents
guarded trump honor toward your
own tenace in order to capture his.
Il you are able to time the play of
the hand so that, toward the close,
YOU lead some other suit through
him, in which you can over-ruff if
he ruffs, you obtain the same re-
suit. When that timing is obtained
by using up SONG eof your own
trumps for rufing, so that you will
shorten your own holding and not
be caught with the late lead in the
wrong hand, you are using trump
coup. And if the cards you ruffed
to shorten your trumps happen to
be winning high cards., then the
play is called a grand COUP.
