Decline To Comment
Authoritative German sources de-
clined to comment on the United
States Navy announcement of the
Observation-Disclosures fight some
where between America and Ice
land
They said the L. s Navy an
nouncement did not give the exact
location, so they could not tell
whether a German submarine had
been operating nearby. London was
ready to blame the attack on Ger
man submarine. however.
Look To President
Diplomatic circles looked expect
antly TO President Roosevelt for a
statement on the incident, which Of
fetal quarters in Washington be-
lieved might have far-reaching con-
sequences in shaping American nav
al strategy in the North Atlantic.
The Navy itself remained silent
after issuing this communique last
night:
The Navy Department announced
that the U.S.S. Greer. en- route to
Iceland with mail. reported this
morning that a submarine attacked
her by firing torpedoes which
missed their mark. The Greer i'm
mediately counter-attacked with
depth charges. Results unknown.
The fact that. the Greer was iden-
teal in appearance with the Amer
lean destroyers traded to Britain
last year led to the belief in some
circles that she might have been
mistaken for a British vessel.
The theory OF mistaken identity
was not universally accepted, how
ever for Navy men pointed out that
he Greer flew the Stars and Stripes
and it appeared that the attack took
place in daylight.

voted to accept the House rate of
10 per cent.
The fight over the automobile
tax is the next-to-last dispute in
volving Finance Committee changes
in the House tax bill. Reserved
for a final battle is the proposal
to tax income in community pro-
perty states according 10 its source
instead OF permitting married cou-
pies TO divide 1t between them. as
is now permitted in those states,
and reduce their taxes.
Already Taxed
LaFollette's objection TO the au-
tomobile use tax also was based on
the fact that the average car own
err already is paying gasoline and
excise taxes and registration and
other fees. He said that reliable
estimates showed that in 1889. ea"n
motor vehicle paid an average OF
S50.S2 in such levies.
Danaher maintained that the -
is unconstitutional. He said that
in all American tax history the
only attempts to levy use taxes
were in 1894, in tax on carriages
subsequently repealed. The tax
was revived during the war of
1912. he said, but repealed in 1877.
Since that day it never has been
tried, he added.

PICK OFF THE LOSERS

WHEN you see a long set-up
suit in the dummy. plus plenty of
trumps. the only thing for you to
do on the defensive is to pick up
as many tricks as you can in the
side suits before the declarer gets
10 work on tfe trumps and the
long suit. There are three possible
exceptions to this One is to lead
that long suit to your partner for
ruff, If there is a good chance he
is blank in 1t. The second is if
there is a chance to shorten the
dummy by making it ruff, so it
will not be able to get into the
lead after the defensive trumps
are gone and the big suit is run.
The third is to knock out a side
entry If the dummy contains one
and seems to require 1t.
