28-29-3O.
Last years team champions
were Col. Robert j. Gill and
Clagett Bowie, both of Balti-
more, teamed with Mrs. Olga
Hilliard and AL Leibowitz, of
New York. They will defend
their championship against stiff
competition.
Clagett Bowie never misses
percentage play, such as the
one in today's hand. Sitting
South, he took the first trick
with dummy's ace of spades and
led the three of hearts to the
ace.
A low trump was led, putting
dummy in with the jack. Now
the jack of hearts was led, East
played low. and Bowie discard
ed his spade, West winning with
the king.
West led a spade and Bowie
ruffed. Now the ace of trumps
was cashed, followed by low
trump, putting dummy in again.
North led the ten of hearts. East
did not cover and Bowie let it
ride, discarding a club. Then he
claimed the rest.
While West might have held
the queen of hearts, Bowie fig
ured that this play had better
chances than the club finesse,
since West could be read for a
short club holding.

If you wAnt to know any real
facts about this Army, you have
to ask a woman. No this isn't a
spy story-simply a matter-of-
fact account of where you go to
get the answers.
In a big office of the old nine
corridored, four-story, World

is now War Department head

major surrounded by Is smart
looking gals who, most OF the
time, have their shell-like ears

is only one switchboard girl in

pens to be free at the moment.
Into this board come all the tele-
phone calls to the War Depart
ment that nobody knows what
else to do with.
The lone male in this show is
Mai. Clyde B. Leasure, a broad
shouldered, big fella who has a
sense of humor and can take it.
He needs the broad shoulders and
the sense of humor, for when the
question gets too tough or too
silly for his Is gals to handle, the
major takes it. He hailed from

eBEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON .

lStTdllOn, SIX years as ~
camp executive and by way of
Army background, two years in
the first World War, plus assign
ments in this war at a recreation
area, on administrative duty with
he Quartermaster Generals Of
flee, finally in charge of seeing
that all letters from congressman
to the Army were properly and
duly answered. 1t was from this
last job that he was moved in to
take charge of this expanded
special information office of the
Services of Supply.
QUIZZLD BY CONGRESS
AS for the type of question that
comes in, everything under the
sun is asked about and a good
many of the questions come
from other branches of the gov
eminent. Congressman ask more
questions of the Army than al
most any other group, and some
of them are dandies because the
congressman have to relay ques-
tions that are asked by their con-
Stituents.
For instance, one congressman
wrote in that he had constitu-
ent 70 years old who wanted to
teach telegraphy, and didn't the
ARMY have a school that could
give. him job?
Another called up to ask for
copy of letter he had written
to the Corps of Engineers. The
congressman admitted he should
have copy of it, and then the
congressman came back and de-
manded an answer to the letter
he had lost.
Major Leasure's prize job for
a congressman, however, was the
tracing of a letter to the files
ot the Navy Department, al
though the official said it had
been written to tn Army. After
a fruitless search in Army files,
the major played hunch and
called the Navy, and there, sure
enough, was the letter
QUESTION OF CREDIT
This business of taking care of
congressman leads to a lot of
ticklish complications. To give
them credit for full assists in get
ting credit for new Army con-
tracts going into any congress
sional district, news of every con-
tract award is announced first
through the office of the con-
gresham from that district.
Sometimes, however, the home
folks will see a surveying party
going over some ground. They
start bombarding the congress
man with inquiries as to what it's
all about. A lot of fast work has
TO be done in checking the pro-
ject, seeing what can be given
out, and protecting the congress
man SO he can pretend to know
all about it, even when he does
MT.
The Army itself can ask its
own quiz gals some dandies. Like
somebody in the Signal orps
calling up and asking what USO
stood for. Or whether a letter
signed with an Indian name was
from a man or a woman. Or how
an ex-candy-and-tobacco sales
man could get job in a post ex-
change.
Biggest problem the office has
TO guard against is when it
knows the answer but can't give
it out, for reasons of military Sc
crecy.
Biggest nuisance the office has
is answering questions for peo-
pie too lazy to look up the an
swers themselves. AS when in
quiries are received from one Of
ficcr for some another officers
telephone number.
But Major Leasure says he
sleeps nights, at that.
