. MeKENNEY's BRIDGE QUIZ
Brilliant Play Rescues Decarer, Left in Suit with Only
 One Trump
BY VIM. E. MCKINNEY Secretary, American Contract
 Bridge League

Perhaps the most embarrassing moment at the bridge table occurs when one is left in a cue bid, dou- bled and redoubled. Today's hand was given to me by Albert Weiss of Chicago, defending champion in three events of the All-American Chamionships, which will be held at the La Sale hotel in Chicago Oct. II to 15.
 Even though his partner had passed. North had no difficulty tn yisualizing sure game and Q pos- sible slam, with his fine honor are ray and splendid distribution. With his six-card suit and an outside king, East quite naturally put in an interference bid.
 south's free bid without a fit in clubs was pretty weak. However. his error in judgment was certain- ly corrected when he passed East,s double of two spades. and his pass of the redouble was bril- liant. Thus. we find North play- ing the contract doubled and rec doubled, with q singleton trump.
 In the play. North won two rounds of clubs, discarding diamond from dummy. He then played the ace and Q small diamond, ruffing in dummy.

 Parker, whose syndicated sports column appears daily in The Demo- crat, is a former local newspaper man. He was born and educated in this city, the son of prominent Irish American family. He entered the newspaper field and after some years as a local sports writer was called to New York. He has been sports editor of the Daily Mirror for number of years.
 Parker has for years carried on campaign against the wrestling game, charging it with being crooked. He has incurred the en- mity of certain wrestling promoters by predicting the outcome of bouts sponsored by them, which he has openly charged were fixed"

Strategic Product Shortage
Draws Attention of
Military Men
By JOSEPH w. LaBINE

The peace" of Munich and
the undeclared war in China
reflect a general ferment of
unrest in Europe and Asia
which may momentarily flare
up into a greater World war.
This is the situation which has
stimulated American efforts
to assure both territorial and
economic security.
While the balance of power
in Europe as well as in Asia
appears to make the contin-
gency of territorial aggres-
sion against the United States
remote, both army and navy
have advocated a program of
reasonable expansion in their
departments and the extent
of this expansion will be a
major subject of debate at
this session of congress.
Less spectacular but even more
basic is the need for adjusting the
capacity of American industry to
war materials production, and &C.
emulation of raw material supplies
which might be, cut off from us in
the event of European or Asiatic
condagration. Industry has to linn
tied extent prepared itself but has
long way to go yet.
There are, according to the as
sistant secretary of war, approx
mately SIS items needed in war time
which are so difficult of production,
so different from ordinary peace
time needs, that industry will not
be able to go into production of
them without some education.
And the last congress provided
funds for the purpose of giving 'ted-
vocational orders" for the manufac-
ture of only six of these items.
The average voter does not real
ize that mobilization applies not
only to men and battleships, but to
plants and machines, skilled labor,
Po"SA1 u oAloPO1 toLlO1l, Law 1lldtSII-
ais and financing.
Preparation for Peace.
It is significant that for the first
time in the history of the United
States the war department is,
through preparation of an "educa-
tional orders" program, anticipating
war well in advance of the unpleas-
ant fact. This does not mean the
United States is preparing to go to
war; on the contrary, it is prepar-
ing to keep out of war if possible.
So doing, it is merely following eau
tiously in the footsteps of those die
tator nations which for a decade
have bent nearly all economic eff
fort to the furtherance of one ulti-
mate aim-the efficient functioning
of an army in the field.
Plants and machines cannot be
