New Yorker Attacks
Boston Dealers for
Dropping Issues
Head Of Exchange in Hub
Insists Shrinking
Values Coused Action
b. the Associated Press.

Counsel for the New York Stock
Exchange tried unsuccessfully to-
day to bring an admission that
shrinking business value rather
than lack of capital caused the
dropping of six securities by odd lot
dealers on the Boston Stock Ex-
change.
John z. Yerxa, president Of the
Boston organization, held TO his
contention, In a Securities and Ex-
change Commission hearing, that
the lack Of capital was responsible,
despite searching cross-examination
by Timothy Pfeiffer, counsel for the
New York exchange. The New
York exchange is fighting a pro-
posal by the Securities Commission
to order 1t to rescind its rule against
multiple trading.
This rule prohibits a member Of
the New York exchange who also is
member of a regional exchange
from trading for his own accaunt
on the regional exchange in secur-
tiles which are listed In New York.
Recalls Testimony.
Calling attention to Mr.. Yerxas
testimony that the trading fran
chlses of the six stocks had been
cropped and that the Boston Ex-
change had been unable to place
them with other dealers because of
lack of capital. Mr.. Pfeiffer read
into the hearing record a summary
OF the trading volume for each se-
curity In recent years and won
acknowledgement that in some cases
the business was not very attractive
to dealer. The dealers earnings
come from a percentage on the
volume Of business and thus it is
important that stocks be active TO
make handling them profitable.
One OF the two dealers who had
dropped the stocks was George
Clark, whom Mr.. Yerxa described as
a member Of Substantial family
of Boston" after Mr.. Pfeiffer had
asked whether he was substantial
citizen"
Could Have Continued.
rIIldIIy MT. Fleluer asked Ndlly
whether Clark could continue as an
odd lot dealer in the stocks he had
dropped If he wished. and Mr.. Yerxa
agreed that he could.
Mr.. Pfeiffer then challenged Mr..
Yerxa's testimony that the Boston
Stock Exchange was IAN integral
part Of the financial community"
Mr. YerXa insisted that If uas de-
spite the reluctance of outside cap
ital to invest in the exchange ac-

Reuben Fine captured the 1941
New York State Chess Association
championship at Hamilton, N. Y,
80, triumphing over United States
Chess Champion Samuel Reshevsky
and former State Ttitleholders Isaac
Kashdin and Arnold Denker.
Annotating his game with the
American champion in the october
issue of Chess Review Magazine,
Fine admits that Reshevsky had
him beaten in their match game,
From the following position in
actual play, Fine points out that
ReShevsky overlooked simple
win" on his forty eighth move.
Set up your chessmen as illus
trated by this position at the be-
ginning Of the forty eighth move.
What move should the United States
champion now make to defeat Fine?
There are at least three good con-
tinuations after this key-move is
discovered that lead to checkmate
or an easy win for the player of the
white men. To the first two readers
who send in the key-move that
leads to a win will be given a copy
of Chess Review Magazine. Prob
lem solvers will determine also the
key move and may submit any one
continuation that leads to victory
for ladder credit of four points.

In the aftermath of the 1lth an
nual tournament of the Washing
ton Bridge League for the District
championships local players have
been taking stock of the results dur
ing the past week Out of five
championship matches, Washington
contestants won four, as well as all
of the non-championship games, eX-
cept the East and West half of the
special consolation game made up OF
those who failed to qualify for the
finals in the first round Of the open
pair championship.
The winners in that match we're
T. L. Ryan and Miss Helen Lau-
dauer of New York. The North and
South winners, however, were
Washington players, Mrs. Rose
Robins and T. D. Harrison. In
cluded in the local victories was
the major event, the open pair
championship, which always draws
the most skillful players and the
largest number of any Of the con-
tests. Notable in this connection
was the fact that the winners, A.
Westrich and H. r. King. were
leaders in both sessions. This was
not true with respect to any of the
other games. In the finals they
were closely crowded by Repre-
sentative John Kunkel of Pennsyl-
vania and his New York partner
c. E. Head, and not far behind them
were LAWS G. Tubbs, Arlington
and Mrs. w. de ST. Aubin, Be
| theSda.
A determined struggle was made
to recapture the team of -four cham
pionship and the trophy which goes
with it, but the effort was not sue
cessful. Last year this champion
ship went to a Baltimore foursome
and this year it was taken by the
team of which Mr.. Kunkel is cap
tain including Mr.. Head and Baron
Waldemar Won Zedtwitz, also of New
York, and S. G. Churchill of Silver
Spring, Md They were, however,
only one board ahead of the Wash
ington team of DR.. and Mrs. A. j.
Steinberg, SiIno Becker and Louis
Newman.
The finish in the mixed pair
championship bordered on the SEN
sational, with Al Roth, former men,
ber of the worlds championship
am-of -four, and Mrs Rose Robins
the final winners. At the end of
the first round, Mr.. Roth and Mrs.
Robins were 70 points behind the
leaders, Mrs. j. E. Folline, Rich
mond, and B. o. johnson, Spartan
burg, S. c. They came to the front
with rush in the second session,
and won over their rivals by a mar
gin of nine points. In the same class
Of finishers but not quite as sue
cessful were DR.. j. " Waits and
Mrs. T. M. Boyle, who were Both in
the first round and gained fifth
place in the finals, an advance of Is
positions, which in a two-session
game is regarded as quite remark
able.
In the women's pair, Mrs. James
H. Lemon and Mrs. w. B. Van De-
vanter, who did not show in the first
sessions, also came from behind to
win the championship, passing Mrs.
N. T. N. Robinson and Mrs. Allan
Rutherford, who led in the opening
session; Mrs. C.. w. Boyce and Mrs.
w. S. Athey, who were second, and
Mrs. l.. L. Gibson and Mrs. Harold

Undoubtedly many people are be-
ginning to give some thought to the
approach of Christmas, particularly
If they plan to send greeting cards
to numerous friends and associates.
A practical and inexpensive solution
to the problem is offered by H. E.
MacEwen, 1925 Montgomery lane,
Bethesda, Nd. He makes his own
cards from linoleum block prints,
a modern adaptation of the old art
of wood engraving and particularly
suited for use by the amateur.
Mr.. MacEwen's experience with
this medium covers some 10 years.
His first idea for an individual
Christmas card was to sketch his
design, have line cut made and
have the cards printed from it..
This he did one year, but found 1t
to be unduly expensive, so he next
tried the linoleum block process
and it proved to be very satisfac-
tory.
His method is first to determine a
suitable design and sketch it on
paper, then transfer it to the face
of the linoleum in reverse. The
second step is to cut the linoleum,
removing those portions which will
not show in the finished picture and
leaving untouched those areas which
form the design This cutting may
be done with only a good sharp
knife, or a set of wood carving tools
may be used Mr.. MacEwen makes
some use of each. plus couple of
tools of his own manufacture.
These last he made by grinding
them from needles.
The last step is printing, often
referred to as pulling proofs" since
the prints prove the correctness Of
the work and are pulled from the
block. The choice of paper is i'm
portant. as hard surfaced paper
will not take the ink. Expensive
papers may be bought for the pur-
pose but are not essential. Mr. Mac
Even uses the kind known as con-
struction paper, sold in packages at
l0-cent stores. This paper is widely
used for the purpose. Although not
the best, it is certainly economical.
The methods used in printing
from linoleum blocks are many and
varied, but the one employed by
Mr.. MacEwen is definitely the
simplest, and Judging from results.
good one. He uses a rolling PIN
Other items needed are tube of
block printing ink, a piece of glass,
knife or spatula, a small rubber
roller, a bottle of kerosene and
plenty of rags. The ink is spread on
the glass with the knife, the roller
run over it and the ink spread on
the block with the roller The
block is then ready for proof to
be pulled. Mr.. MacEWen places the
paper on the block and rubs it down
with the rolling pin. The amount
