Mr.. Fry opened the 10 of hearts.
East played the king and South won
the first trick with the ace. Declarer
now pondered long and earnestly.
He might lead club to dummy's
king the only sure -re-entry), then
lead diamond from dummy and
finesse the nine. But on this line
Of play dummy might become en-
tirely worthless if either opponent
held three diamonds. South there
fore decided to reserve the club king
In dummy as a re-entry and laid
down the diamond ace from his own
hand, hoping Cd that he might
drop a singleton honor in East's
hand, or CD that the suit would be
divided with West holding the king.
Mr.. Fry did hold the king and one
diamond, but when South played
the ace he cheerfully sacrificed his
king in the desperate hope that his
partner would hold the queen. East
then won the second diamond trick
with his queen and led his remaining
heart. whereupon Mr.. Fry ran OF
ave tricks in that suit.
OF course South was made to look
foolish. but If diamonds had been
divided differently or Mr.. Fry had
failed to unlock, declarer's line of
play would have been the winning
one.

Fifth Replaced by Roosevelt.
Commissioner Meyer is the fifth
member of the 11-man commission
that President Roosevelt has re-
placed, and with news that he was
not to be reappointed, speculation
was stirred concerning Commissioner
William E. Lee, Idaho Republican,
whose term expired with that of
Commissioner Meyer. AS In the
Meyer case, there has been no hint
OF successor to Mr.. Lee.
When President Roosevelt took
office six years ago the commission
which can have only majority OF
any party-was composed of six
Republicans, an Independent and
four Democrats. There have been
four Republicans and Democrat
dropped-one Republican and two
Democrats reappointed and one new
Republican and three Democrats
named to the commission. The
membership now is six Democrats,
an Independent and four Republi-
cans, and the latter will be reduced
to three with Progressive coming
in.

"the agents Of the Department of

appeared before our committee. I
hope that these reports are un-

RUSS|A-NAzIS
CONSIDER zEPS

BERLIN-Germany and Russia
are toying with the idea of using
zeppelins as freight steamers of
the air" it was reported Tuesday
in reliable quarters.
1t was pointed out that a yep
pelin, filled with hydrogen, which
although inflammable, gives great
err buoyance than helium, could
take German goods to Russia and
return with high grade ores such
as manganese and copper, vital
to the German war machine.
Russia is said to be keenly in
terested in the airship construction
technique perfected in Germany
after long experience, and it is
UNDERSTOOD that next January Rus
sian engineers will come to study
problems of zeppelin transport. 1t
is even reported that Russia Is
showing some interest in purchas-
ing a German zeppelin.
Germany has only the Graf Yep
pelin, newly built and replacing an
older airship of the same name
so far as is known. 1t is withheld
from commercial use because OF
the failure to get helium from
the United States.)

of the Thanksgiving buying has
been done, but wholesalers still
were kept busy filling orders.
The war has swept banasas

ed Wednesday by Clarke Jackson.
FILA state director, that the new
low interest rate of Al per cent
on FILA insured mortgages applies
to existing construction as well as
new construction. Inquiries reach
ing the FILA office indicate that
some prospective home buyers
misunderstood the recent regula-
ton reducing the maximum inter
est rate which lending institutions
are permitted TO charge from 5
per cent to Az per cent.
Most of the lending institu-
tions in Tacoma, Jackson said.
which have been participating in

seeking loans at the new low
rate, thus making available TO
home buyers and builders In this
district the lowest home financ-
