With his splendid holding, East
naturally opened here with 1-Spade.
This was passed to North, who bid
2-Clubs. East next showed 2-Dia-

fine inferential call since the dis
play Of two other suits. by East
made it likely his partner might fit
this. West was overjoyed to have a
chance to bid, showing his har-

5-Diamonds. North then proclaimed

AT this stage East made a very
strong bid, 3-Spades. BY SO doing
he took full responsibility for his
partner going to four if he had to
slip into diamonds. Such being SO,
he also took responsibility for West
going to 4-Spades if he had as
many as three cards for the rebid
suit. But both South and West
passed this and North raised to A.
Hearts, which East doubled:
AS it was, South made his con-
tract, losing only two tricks in
trumps and one in spades. Had West
taken this out to 4-Spades, it could
have been set only if South gave his
partner a chance to ruff diamonds.

A LATE BID BY your partner
of higher ranking suit than the
one for which you had shown a fit
what could be more logical
force, in its natural meaning?
Since your inability to fit that suit
would oblige you to go a level
higher into the earlier suit, your
partner has by his bid taken full
responsibility for your getting
higher. If you pass such a bid, you
are derelict in your duty to him,
unless you mistrust him or have
been unworthy of trust yourself on
your earlier turns.

President Slips
Into White House
| With the Help

The President of the United
States entered the White House
through the tradesman's entrance
today.
This maneuver came about as
a result of the egg rolling on the
south White House lawn. The Pres
ident usually comes into the White
House from this direction, but
avoided it today because of the
throngs of children.
His car drove up to the front
of the mansion and stopped at the
trade entrance, which is on the
same side with the executive offices
on the west wing. Mr.. Roosevelt
walked through the kitchen to
reach the elevator which carried
him to his quarters on the second
floor.
The Presidents special train from
Georgia arrived at Union Station
at Ills. Secretary of State Cordell
Hull conferred for Is minutes with
the Chief Executive, while Secre-
tary of the Treasury Henry Nor
genthau sat by.

Leaders on Both Sides
Hope to Settle
Issue Tomorrow

Adjournment out Of respect for
the death of Senator Lewis, Demo-
crat, of Illinois postponed the Senate
vote scheduled for 2:30 o'clock this
afternoon on the w. P. A. relief fund
for the next three months, but lead.
ers on both sides hope to settle the
question tomorrow. If vote is not
possible tomorrow, the issue will be
delayed until Thursday in view Of
the state funeral for Senator Lewis
being arranged in the Senate Cham
ber at 2:30 Wednesday afternoon.
Senator Pepper, Democrat, of Flor
ida, leading the fight to restore the
$50,OO0,000 cut in the Presidents
estimate, made known today that he
would inform the Chief Executive Of
the legislative situation, but would
not ask him to do anything that
might be construed as an effort to
impose his will on the Congress. To-
All indications still point to defeat
of the Pepper motion and final pass
age of the $1OO,O0O,O0O compromise
figure agreed upon both by the regu-
lar administration leaders and econ
omy advocates in the Senate.
The c. I. o. declared in a state
ment last night that there were no
prospects of sufficient re-employ-
ment in most regions to justify any

man Sheppard, Democrat, of Texas
of the Senate Military Committee
also was considering asking Col.
Lindbergh to testify before his group.
The decision of Senate leaders to
ask Congress to extend the cash
and carry" clause of the Neutrality
Act was reached after they gave up
hope of putting through thorough
revision of the law this month.
Chairman Pittman, Democrat, of
Nevada of the Senate Foreign Re-
lations Committee said it would be
dangerous to let the clause expire.
While neutrality talk was prom
inent in both branches of Congress,
administration officials were quietly
going ahead with the broad national
defense program.
The War Department was said by
reliable legislative sources to have
recommended as a rivers and har-
bors project the controversial pro-
posal for harbor Improvements at
Guam, Americ ln-owned island in
the far Pacific. The House recently
refused to approve the $1,000 900
project when submitted as a naval
measure.
Members of the House Rivers and
Harbors Committee said they under
stand the War Department was will
ing to limit the improvement to
dredging the harbor so that long
range patrol planes could use it.
Foes of the original proposal said it
would lead to difficulties with Japan,
only $500 miles from Guam.

Veteran egg-rollers came equipped

the eXigencies of the spectacle had
their children on leashes. One of
the younger mothers, having lost
her children earlier in the day,
joined them in playing farmer in
the dell just to keep track of
them. The circle games, spread out
across the lawn, were being or
ganized by girls from the play
ground department.
The first recorded casualties were
a cinder in the eye and cut on the
knee of two youngsters. The Red
Cross detachment, however, was pre-
pairing for rush business.
Adults, of course, were not al
lowed in the grounds without chill
dren. Guards denied that any
children were renting themselves for
a small fee, to accompany adults
who wanted to get in. But up the
street a few feet long line of
children appeared to be waiting
hopefully.
All roads were leading to the
White House today, where Wash
ington's young, armed with Easter
baskets, came to roll eggs on the
Presidents lawn.
President Roosevelt was expected
to appear on the portico to greet his
young guests some time during the
afternoon.
The gates were opened at am.
and will close at pm. After that
the National Capital Parks service
will take over the lawn with the
idea of undoing with rakes and bar
rels the damage wrought by an ex-
pected $4,000 youngsters.
Entertainment for the day was to
be provided by j. Leonard Reh with
Punch and Judy show and Harry
H. Baker, who was to perform magic
tricks.
Girl Scouts and Girl Reserves were
to be on duty to herd the lost chill
dren inside the east rose garden.
They expected a busy day, recalling
that last year 140 weeping youngsters
had to be pacified and returned to
their parents before the day was out.

While the remark was given with
a smile and in a spirit of friendly

palmer voice to fears of continued

statement was made to the crowd
from the rear platform of his car.

to Boy and Girl Scouts linking hands
and making path through the
crowd.
At the bandstand, where Mrs
Roosevelt paused for pictures, a
small youngster managed to get
through the ropes that surrounded
the bandstand and strolled about,
apparently indifferent to the pres
ence of the Presidents wife. Mrs.
Roosevelt picking her up at the sug-
gestion of photographers, said, Il
can hold her but l don't know
whether she wants to be held" Mrs.
Roosevelt also handed the girl a
sticky Easter egg she had dropped.
When the pictures were over, it ap-
peared the little girls fingers had
fastened on Mrs. Roosevelt's corsage.
The child departed with the gar
denia.
Mrs. Roosevelt returned the way
she had come, stopping to inquire
what was wrong with a little boy
whose hand was bandaged and smil-
ing into the cameras of amateur
photographers who lined the way.
Those who arrived early divided
their time between the south en-
trance of the portico from which
Mrs. Roosevelt made her first en-
trance and "Sniffy," the educated
rabbit, who was brought to the fes-
tival by Mrs. Leo S. Watts of Calex-
leo. Calf.
Between posing for pictures and
clinging tightly to the leash of the
scampering angora rabbit, Mrs. Watts
explained that Sniffy had been given
to her three years ago by the chill
dren of the elementary school she
headed.
The adults were more patient
than their young charges as they
waited for the Presidents wife to
put in an appearance. Mothers tried
to quiet squirming youngsters by
assuring them that "she would be
along soon"
Gift for Mrs. Roosevelt.
One little 3-year-old could not be
dissuaded from the idea that the
eggs in her basket were for Mrs.
Roosevelt. No one, it seems, had ever
told her the idea was to roll the
eggs.
Before II o'clock the crowd had
grown to 10000. Getting away to
slow start, the egg-pelting, missile
lodging activities were going strong
while nearly 1000 people refused to
bulge from the south entrance to
the White House, although Mrs,
Roosevelt was not scheduled to
make another appearance for an
hour.
The youngsters busted themselves
in a variety of ways. One infant
played happily in the gravel roadway
tontenting herself with smudging
her dainty pink jacket. Another in
vestigated the contents of his choco-
late egg and had smeared it all over
his face before his mother caught up
with him.
A small boy was detected rolling
an egg, but after few minutes he
evidently decided the sport was too
tame and quit. Many of the young
sters amused Themselves by seeing
how hard they could hit the eggs
before they broke. Then they tossed
the unshelled eggs at each other.
Another pink-eared bunny made

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 10.-The in
come tax evasion trial of John Tor
rio. former Chicago underworld
leader, came to an abrupt and
dramatic close today when Torrio
and two of his four co-defendants
pleaded guilty.
Pleading guilty with Torrio were
his brother-in-law, William Slock-
bower, and James La Penna.
Federal Judge John w. Clancy de-
clared mistrial for the other two
defendants, Louis v. La Cava and
John D'Agostino.
The trial was marked by frequent
clashes between Max D. Steuer,
counsel for Slockbower and Torrio,
and Seymour Klein, assistant United
States attorney, who presented the
Governments case.
One-Time Crony of Capone.
Torrio, small, quiet man some-
times referred to in the underworld
as "the little one" or "the immune"
was one-time crony of Al Capone
during the early days of the prohi-
bition era in Chicago.
He was accused by the Govern
ment Of having invested huge sums
in the firm of Prendergast, Davies
& Co., Ltd. wholesale liquor dealers.
The names of many notorious fig
ures in the underworld were fire.

which started a week ago Wednes-
day.
The abrupt end of the proceed
ings made unnecessary the Govern
ments tentative plan to bring Ca
pone from his California prison to
New York to testify.

Ing 1t was evident that something
unusual was in prospect. Mr.. Steuer
was conspicuously absent.

"Your honor" he said, "at this
time the defendants, John Torrio

withdraw their plea of not guilty

counsel for La Penna, then told the
court his client also wished to
change his plea.
