over the top was the Northern
Illinois team of-four contest on
May End, and here is one of the
hands that helped him win.
The choice of contract, a risky
four hearts instead of an easy
five diamonds, was made be-
cause of the match-point value
of the extra 20 for the major
suit game. Several North play
ers chose four hearts, but only
Weiss made the contract.
The first trick went to dunn
my's ace of clubs. Next came
the ace and a low diamond, set
ting up the suit. East led the
queen of clubs. Weiss saw that
this defense would cause trouble
il the adverse trump were not
split 3-3. He decided to bank on
the spade finesse instead of the
trump split, so he let the queen
of clubs hold East continued
clubs and dummy trumped with
the eight.
Weiss now cashed the king
and ace of hearts and led the
ten. West having been stripped
of diamonds and clubs, could
return only spade or the trump.
In either case Weiss was sure to
get in to pull the last trump and
then the diamonds could be
cashed.

err, who builds things people lay

Washington like the western
tornado he is, wearing smiles
and a double-breasted blue suit,
radiating so much confidence he
didn't even bother to take off
his vest though the temperature
and the humidity were terrible.
On his first day he appeared be-
fore two Senate investigating
committees, made a speech at a
luncheon, held press confer
ence for gal repor tiers, and
though he didn't make one spe-
cific statement as to how he
was going to build 5000 cargo
planes, after five minutes with
every group he had everyone
convinced he could build lad
der to the moon. He had every
one agreeing with everything he
said, eating out of his hand,
nominating him unofficially to
be war production boss. To sui
try, befuddled, politico and bu-
reaucrat-ridden Washington, he
brought fresh breath of assur-
ance America could win this
war.
What is the secret of Pop
Kaiser's success? He denies he is
a genius. He disclaimS being a
miracle man. He isn't much to
look at. He says he can't make
a speech. Vet he has more per-
sonality hat a movie star and
he could probably :alk a light
ming rod salesman into buying
snake oil. He has even talked
the boilermakers into believing
it will be all right if he builds
planes, though that means the
boilermakers lose their jobs. He
is enthusiasm personified. He
says constantly, Il am thrilled"
He is terrific.
Build cargo planes? There s
nothing to that" he says easily.
and somehow you believe him.
AN OPEN SECRET
If he has my secret, it is that
he can make people do things
for him. Take Bonneville dam.
Army engineers weren't sure it
could be built. Kaiser tackled
the project. His associates sat up
with him till a. m. to talk him
out of taking the job. But he
put cocple of kids in charge
one was his son - and they
built the dam. THE kids of this
country will never be licked, "
insists Kaiser, and somehow you
get to believing the war will not
be lost, after all.
Kaiser's other secret seems to
be in reducing every problem
to its lowest common denomi-
nator.
He asks what shipyards have
that apply to airplane building,
and he answers that they have

ed not to take any profit.
The studio and Army repre-
sentatives plan the picture on a
scale bigger, in many ways, than
anything ever filmed. 1t will
bear little resemblance to the
stage show, and all the screen
stars who now are soldiers
such as Jimmy Stewart, Clark
Gable and Gene Autry-can be
assigned to take part in it.
