South's jump to six spades was
quite optimistic, but against ordi-
nary defense he would have been
the hero instead of the goat of the
hand. West opened the ten of dia-
monds, and South won with the
king and led a low trump, playing
the queen from the dummy.
East then calmly, and without
either hesitation or undue speed
played low trump! South nat
urally thought West had the ace
Of trump, in which case his only
chance for the slam was to find
the jack in the East hand. So he
led low trump from dummy and
flnessed the ten from his own hand,
allowing West to make his blank
jack. Later on, of course, East's
trump ace took the setting trick.
The brilliance of the swindle is
better appreciated If you note what
would have happened if East had
taken his spade ace at once. If
East then returned a diamond or a
club. South would have won and
found himself unable to get to dunn
my for a trump finesse. In des-
peration he would have laid down
the spade king. and would have
made his contract by catching
Vests blank jack. Even If East
had taken the spade ace and re-
turned a trump, South would have
been sure that East would not lead
away from the trump jack; so
South would have played his king
and made his contract.

 FORT SLOCUM, N. Y-Hand- some It. David Burleigh of the Army bakers and cooks school here, says you can learn to be a good cook in 18 months.
 But, he insists, you must have three rules and abide by them if you are to become king or queen of your kitchen.
 First, you must want to learn to cook. Then men he trains at the Army school have to put their resolution in writing.
 Second, he says, you need training by experts in dietetics, nu- triton, marketing and cooking tbut you can get some of that from libraries, extension courses and courses in local schools.
 Third, you must be able to fol- tow a recipe. Later, you can try new ideas, tinker with recipes, and seek new and different ways to serve food attractiveiy.
 Lieutenant Burleigh believes any body with average intelligence can be a good cook
 Consider Your Public
 He urges you to consider care- fully the likes and dislikes of the people who sit at your table. That is a big problem for Army cooks, according to this man who learned to cock in the Army and now teaches the other fellows how
 He has found that young men prefer sweets and thick brown gravy and that older men like fruits and gravy which is noth- ing more than the juice of the meats.
 Speed is the big secret of many successful cooks, Burleigh says. He insists that the faster you cook the better cook you are likely to be. That goes for everything, from the way you wash your dishes to how quickly you make pastry for your pies.
 Burleigh recommends studying recipes for possible combinations. That is what the Army does in making pie crust.
 Matter of Halves An Army cook, he says, turns out pie crust that is both short and flaky. That is because he combines part of the recipe for old fashioned flaky crust (not so easy to cut) with the recipe for mealy crust (which is the usual commercial kind.
 Burleigh uses these proportions by weight: Half as much fat as flour and half as much water as fat, and the dough is made up quickly with as little handling as possible
 He mixes all of the flour with half of the fat, then lightly mixes in the remainder of the fat.
 The first mixing provides fat particles covered with flour to give shortness. The second mix ing brings about small free fat Jumps which cause flakiness. Then just enough water is added to moisten the flour particles. The water is distributed evently and the mass is mixed gently to 9 dough that is easy to handle (neither sticky nor crumbly). The dough is rolled into a sheet with as little flour as possible.
 Here are some Army tricks:
 With Cake-It's done if it sounds like a drum when you tap it with your finger.
 With Pie-It's done if it loosens when you shake the pan gently
 With Lettuce-Pop the stub on the table-hard! You can pull the

stalk out then and the leaves will fall apart.
 With Radishes - Don't cut the bottoms off if you want them to stay fresh for serving.

LONDON, Jan. 15.-Cheese no

to increase average consumption.
The Food Ministry official stressed
the protective value of carrots
against winter ailments and night

be increased from half pound to
three-quarters of.a pound.
He warned that the supply of rab-

Murder Indictments

Bandit Brothers
HoIdup Victim, Officer
Slain, Two Injured in

~ the Associated Press.

~ tie Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-Authori-
ties moved swiftly today against
two ex-convict brothers who, with
blazing guns, turned midtown Fifth
avenue into battle-ground yester-
day and brought death to a police
man and an Office manager in a
$3.50 holdup.
District Attorney Thomas E.
Dewey said he would seek immedi-
ate murder indictments against the
gunner, William and Anthony
Esposito, who shot their intended
victim to death when he refused
them a pay roll, then killed the
patrolman.
Two other persons, bank guard
and cab driver, also were wounded
and the crowded shopping center
at Thirty-flfth street and Fifth ave-
nue. was terrorized by fusillade Of
bullets as the robbers attempted to
shoot their way to safety.
Shop Manager Killed.
William Esposito, wounded in the
right leg as police opened fire, was
taken to the prison ward at Belle
vue Hospital His brother was held
at the East Thirty-fi fifth street police
station, awaiting arraignment.
AS reconstructed by police and
witnesses, the action began at noon,
when the holdup pair shot and
killed Alfred Klausman, general
manager of Kemp & Beatley, Inc,
a linen firm, in an elevator of his
building on Thirty-fourth street.
Fleeing with guns in hand, they
dashed out into the street and raced
through the B. Altman department
store. Pedestrians and shoppers
joined in a chase that led into a
taxi an dout and, finally, into an
r. w. Woolworth 5-and-10-cent
store, where Anthony Esposito was
captured.
Officer Fatally Wounded.
The other brother had been shot
as he fled along the avenue and, as
Patrolman Edward F. Maher bent
over his fallen form, he suddenly
fred at the officer, fatally wounding
him.
Leonard Weisberg, the cab driver,
was shot in the neck, and William
Mueller, the bank guard, wounded
in the left shoulder in helping cap
ture the fallen thug.
Both robbers had long police rec
ords, and Anthony once was de-
ported from the country. William
was released from Sing Sing Prison
four years ago in order to be de-
ported.
How both were in the country
was a mystery to police.
