The Senate, few hours previous
", had approved the House bill with
several amendments, which required
its return there. Without discus
sion, the House, at the request of
Chairman Randolph of the District
Committee, put its approval on
these changes, and cleared the way
for the bill to go to the White House.
The legislation will reduce the
pay roll tax OF employers from 3 to
81 per cent. and thus save them an
estimated sl,00O,0OO year. 1t will
increase benefits to the jobless on
the unemployed compensation rolls.

fore the recess follow:

present per cent interest rate on
P. w. A. loans to the District.
3. Tightening existing law regu-

Five Bills Await Action.
AS a prelude to the final action
OF Congress on the local bills, the
Senate, earlier in the day, passed all
of them and five others in rapid sue
cession. In the five that did not
hurdle the last legislative Jump were
several that originated in the Sen
ate and did not reach the House in
time for approval. The others had
passed the House, but since they
were amended in the Senate, House
action is still required on the
changes.
Indications sre these measures are
to be considered when Congress re-
assemblies after the recess July l.

Albert Weiss victory in the nat
ional open pair championship was
not a surprise to me I have rated
Weiss as n of the greatest players
in the country. He has participated
little in competition with the East
erners, but his record in Chicago is
astounding. He won the All-Alneri-
car open pair championship in 1887
and 1888, and both the All-Ameri-
car open team-of-four and masters
individual championships in 1898 and
1889, as we'll as the Central States
team-of-four title in 1888.
1 predict that if it is possible for
Mr.. Weiss to participate in some Of
the eastern contests this year, more
than n crow will be carried to
Chicagc. In today's hand, only he
and his partner, Walter Jacobs of
Chicago, bid and made six no trump.
Weiss won the opening lead with
the club ace and led the diamonds
from the top down, as he could not
spare the spade king for entry to
take "a finesse. The diamond queen
fortunately dropped. After six dia-
monds, dummy was left with three
spades and three hearts, South with
three spades and three hearts.
AS North had not discarded a
heart, declarer figured his only
chance was a possible squeeze,
which would operate if the hand
with the spade stopper also held the
king and queen Of hearts. However,
the count was wrong for a squeeze.
