i. MeKENNEY ON BRIDGE
Southerner Shows How BY VIM. E. MCKINNEY
 Amcrica's Card Authority

Although selection of Richmond Va., as scene of the l94l national tournament has just been aIa- nounced, I could have told you last December, in Philadelphia, that we would go to Richmond in l94l, When Major Clarence Wyatt brought Richmond's invitation to the Philadelphia session, no refusal was possible.
 This 70.year-old southern gen. tleman was born in Richmond and was head of the largest Sunday school class ever assembled there He loves tournament bridge and attends a great many tournaments, and if you are not careful, the old major will out-fox you on a hand as quick as any exeprt. Here IS a hand that gave him thrill in the last national tournament.
 Through no fault of his own, Major Wyatt was forced into an absurd contract. He won the open- ing lead with the ace of diamonds and bravely led trump, winning with the king.
 The jack of spades was led, cov- cred by the queen and won with the ace. Dummy led Q trump and South won. South led the queen of diamonds, forcing the king.
 Then dummy cashed the king of spades and led the four. South

Hitler Peace Offer
| Rejected in Advance
BY Eden in Speech
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LEEDS, England, July S.
Foreign Secretary Anthony
Eden predicted a new German
peace offer and rejected it In
advance today, reiterating Brit
aims determination to destroy
Adolf Hitler and "all he stands
for"
I'VE anticipate that Hitler, at
a moment he considers oppor-
tune during his campaign in
Russia, will seek to present
himself in another of his oc-
casional theatrical roles" Mr..
Eden told an outdoor meeting
here.
This time, his makeup will
be that of the man of peace.
Internal conditions in Ger
many may make this false
posturing necessary for him for
a spell. He will offer smooth
assurances and specious prom
ises in the hops of lining some
foolish birds.
1T might, therefore, be USE
full that I should now declare
the position of His Majesty's
government in respect to any
peace offer by Hitler.
I'VE shall intensity our war
effort until he and all he stands
for are utterly destroyed -
We are all out to beat Hit
Ter. We shall not let go until
We have done the job, and we
welcome all those who will
give us a hand to finish it."

Most of the population seems ut

pen. Notices have been posted by
German authorities threatening the
death penalty for any interference

Gen. Marshall yesterday sub
mitted to Secretary of War Slim
son an appendix to his formal re-
port of his first two years as Chief
of Staff. Among details of Army
expansion, the appendix disclosed
that since the war broke out in
Europe, overseas garrisons of the
United States Army have been in
creased from 45,3O0 to 116,70O troops.
The report stated further that
harbor defense forces have been
raised from 4,800 to 46,5OO men, Air
Corps tactical squadrons in the
continental United States and off
shore bases have been increased
f1ve-fold and the Regular Army's
1st and Sd divisions have been
trained with the Navy and Marine
Corps in landing operations.
Gen. Marshall declared the Ma
tion must have "an an-purpose
Army" prepared to operate in the
Arctic or in the tropics, in deserts
or mountains" and that training of
the greatly expanded forces was be-
ing directed toward that end.
