II was no job for West to throw
his spade on one Of these and
his heart on the other. But then
came his problem when the spade
was finessed. Throwing from his
heart Q-10 was unthinkable, as 1t
would set up South's probable J
in that suit. so he gave up the dia-
mond 8 from his four card hold
ing, an apparent trick winner ultt-
mately. Then on the spade X he
had to throw another apparent
winner, though it made little diff
ference what he did now. He
picked the heart 10 this time, and
the declarer finished with two
heart tricks and two top dia-
monds. If West, discarding on the
spade K, had used enc Of his three
remaining diamonds, the declarer
could have scored the A. X and 8
OF that suit plus the heart K to

Farm Bill Returned
To House in Split
Over Surplus Wheat
Administration Victory
Over Farm Bloc PeriIed
By Conferees' Action
By the Associated Press.

By the AssociatedtPress.
Senate and House conferees failed
to agree on an amendment to the
$3.50, 900 900 farm appropriation bill
permitting the Government to sell
surplus wheat for livestock feeding
at about SO cents q bushel and de-
cided yesterday to return the meas
ure to the House.
Senate adoption of the amend
ment. involving an indirect check on
the price of grain, had given the
administration what appeared to be
tentative victory over badly split
farm bloc, but conferees said that
victory now was threatened seriously.
The House previously had voted to
bar the sales Of Government-held
wheat and other grains for livestock
feeding at less than full parity.
. Sought 97-Cent Floor.
The Senate, after controversy,
voted to permit sales Of up to 1885,
10000 bushels of wheat at a mini
mum price of about SO cents busi1el,
despite the efforts of members from
corn growing states to put 97-cent
floor under such sales.
The conferees also were reported
to have decided to send back to the
House Senate-approved amend
ment requiring for the first time that
soil conservation payments be added
to marketing returns before farmers
receive parity payments on crops.
President Roosevelt and Secretary
Of the Treasury Morgenthau long
have contended that this system
should be adopted, but Congress in
the past has voted to make the
parity payments without reference
to the amount previously received by
the farmers for reducing acreage
and following certain soil building
practices.
Might Save S200, ,000, 900.
Proponents said this amendment
might save the Government $780,
600, 900 but House conferees were re-
ported to have held that they could
not accept it without separate vote
Of that body.
Also in dispute was a Senate
amendment boosting the appropri-
ationS and loan authorization of the
Farm Security Administration. Con-
ferees said it was likely the House
would have to pass on this question
