Relief Financing Task
Faces Jersey Assembly
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
TRENTON, N. j., Jan. 4.-Relief
financing in New Jersey-a govern
mental problem child-stood out to-
day at the age of 8 as the para
mount issue confronting the 163d
Legislature, which convenes next
Tuesday.
Harried by the task of caring for
the States needy since New Jersey
went into relief business in 1881,
lawmakers face not only the matter
of raising from $50, 600 0OOs to $22,-
100000 for this year, but Of paying
of a $7,500,000 moral obligation"
incurred through a deficit in last
years relief appropriation.
Those facts combined with BIZ
partisan campaign pledges against
new taxation gave veteran law
makers cause for concern as thev
prepared to plunge into the new
session.
State fiscal officials already have
asserted that New Jersey would be
"in the red" for the first time In
modern history at the end Of the
1889 fiscal year. Chief cause of
the deficit has been the unexpected
rise In relief costs and a decline In
revenues, including a probable $2,-
100000 drop in inheritance taxes.

Bill Asks Jurisdiction
Of Grave||y Point by
Special Commission
Smith Of Virginia Would
Strip c. A. A. Of
Authority

The Civil Aeronautics Authority
would be stripped of any authority
1t may 'have to operate the new
Gravelly Point Airport under pro-
visions of bill introduced late yes
terday by Representative Howard
w. Smith, Democrat, of Virginia.
His measure would place man
agement of the air field under q
proposed National Capital Airport
Commission composed of the As
Sistant Secretary of Commerce in
charge of aviation, the director of
the National Capital Parks and the
United States district engineer.
Might Have C. A. A. Member.
Advised that the Commerce De-
partment no longer had control
over aviation, Mr.. Smith said he
probably would substitute the chair
man of the Civil Aeronautics Au-
thority for the Assistant Secretary
of Commerce as a member of the
commission.
II just wanted to get the legis-
lation started" he said. II don't
want the management to be under
the Civil Aeronautics Authority"
The proposed commission, accord
ing to the bill, would be authorized
to appoint a manager for the air
port and other such officers or
agents as may be necessary for the
proper operation and maintenance
OF the air field. The commission
also would be empowered to make
all "needful" rules for operation of
the airport and to enter into con-
tracts and leases and grant conces-
sions with respect to its use.
Provides Federal Financing.
The bill also provides that opera
ton of the airport shall be financed
by the Federal Government.
The c. A. A. organic act, it was
pointed out, gives this agency au-
thority to operate and maintain as
well as build airports by including
them under the definition of "air
navigation facilities" In view Of
this authority the G. A. A. was
understood to have been proceeding
on the assumption it would have
control of the Gravelly Point air.

.. McKENNEY'S BRIDGE QUIZ
Never Finesse Against Partner Rule Does Not Hold in
 Modern Contract

The old whist maxim, "Never finesse against your partner" Is often quoted at the bridge table, but 1t actually has little application at the game of contract. Where two hands are in sight, a defender can often see that it is good policy to f1nesse against his partner, as in today's hand, in order to drive out an honor held by declarer on an earlier, rather than on a later round.
 The nine of spades was played from dummy on the opening lead, and East made the brilliant play of the jack instead of the king. He could see from his own hand and dummy that 1t was very unlikely that West held any side entry. If South held as good as three spades to the queen, 1t would be fatal to let him win the second or third rounds of the suit, and so prevent West from getting in to make the balance.
 South won the trick with the queen of spades. He correctly start ed the hearts at once, and East was in with the ace. He followed up with his brilliant play by laying down the spade king, although the ace was blank in dummy. This play would clear the suit, and leave East with a small car for entry to Vests hand, provided that West
