Commissioner Counters
Rumors With Offer to
Sell Present Quarters

Frequently recurring rumors
that the Federal Government wants
the Districts Municipal Center
Building to house some national
defense agency brought statement
from Commissioner Melvin C. Hazen
yesterday that he had received no
such intimation and hoped the re-
ports were not true.
He declared that if the United
States is in need of additional hous-
ing for its workers, he would like to
have the Federal Government buy
the present District Building.
Funds received from the sale of
the District Building, he said, would
place the city government in po-
sition to proceed with plans for con-
struction of the west building of the
Municipal Center, which will be
needed to provide adequate housing
for the many scattered units of the
municipal organization.
First Unit Ready by Summer.
The first unit of the Municipal
Center, the east building. is ex-
pected to be ready for occupancy
early next summer. Mr.. Hazen de-
clared this structure is urgently
needed by the city government. For
instance, the Police Department,
now using the old structure on
Indiana avenue opposite the District
Courthouse, would be one of the
many District agencies to be housed
in the new building.
District officials have estimated
they could take care of all District
needs on a temporary basis in the
new Municipal Center while making
use of scattered District properties
for housing of municipal units
pending completion OF the west
building.
They emphasized that this would
require crowding and some diff
Guilty due to scattered locations. but
some officials believe this would be
worth while as temporary measure
if it meant the District would be
able TO begin construction Of the
west building.

Gals have declared it would be
unfortunate if the Federal Govern
ment~ should decide TO take over

3 MeKENNEY ON BRIDGE
Squeeze Tactics Are Recallt BY VIM. E. MCKINNEY
 America'S Card Authority

The date of the World Bridge Olympic, which has been set for April this year, brings to mind hand in the 1888 Olympic. Hand No. was intended to play at six spades by East, which can be made by an eventual throw-in with the third round of hearts after the ad- verse trumps and declarer's clubs are stripped out.
 Mrs. Vera Voss-Schrader of Helsinki, Finland; got into con- tract of six spades but thought that seven should be made by a squeeze. She cashed all her trumps, discarding one heart from dummy. South let go two hearts and the nine of clubs; North discarded three clubs.
 It dawned on the declarer that the diamonds must be badly broken, otherwise some of that suit would have ben discarded. Seeing that she was in trouble, she cashed the ace of hearts, and when South drop ped the jack, it was clear that North held the shoppers there.
 Stalking everything now on the hope of making her contract, and that South alone could stop the minor suits. she played the six of hearts and North ~on. A club came back, knocking out the ace.
 East won the diamond ace and cashed the king of hearts, and South found himself in pseudo squeeze. Unfortunately he let go a diamond instead of a club,

A high rate of sickness and misery would exist in Waterbury if the work of thA Visiting Nurses associa- tion should be halted due to insufti- cient funds to carry on with Mrs. Fred J. Hadden, a member of the citys board of education said last night.
 She said that $17,O00 is needed to complete the budget of the associa- tion, which calls for $35, ,000 and that Waterburians could contribute to no better cause.
 Dfc John s. Dye. president, of the Waterbury Medical association last night also praised the work of the Visiting Nurses.
 One of their most important services, he said, is in the pre- vention of the spread of contagior or epidemics, through the teach- ing of health measures such ai d.et and sanitation, and the en- forcement of quarantine, vaccina' tion, andACther preventive and pre- cautionary methods.

c. B. Williams head of the State COL

In the siX-month period between
September, 1883. and February, 1899,
the United States exported 2,637,00
bushels Of soybeans, 86.1 per cent
going to Canada and rs per cent TO
the Netherlands.
In the corresponding period one
year later, l09l3,000 bushels were
exported, 3l2 per cent entering Ca
NADIA and GOT per cent going to the
Netherlands. This represented an in
crease in exports of more than 400
per cent.
Contrasting the 1939-39 period and

out that Canada increased her i'm

purpose OF the AAA program will
not receive payments for which they
might otherwise be eligible.
In some cases, Floyd pointed out,
both landlords and tenants have used
practices contrary TO regulations Of
the Triple-A program necessary TO
obtain payments. In general, these
practices have related to payments
between landlords and tenants.
