USE THEM SEPARATELY

1T IS important to be able to
recognize when a declarer must
use his trumps separately, for
rufing. instead Of using two on a
trick to draw out those held by
the defenders. To count Up a hand
with extensive ruffing possibili-
ties. you first add up the number
Of tricks available with high
cards in the side suits and then
pile onto that the number of
trsmps which can be employed
one at a time. Always bear in
mind that the defenders, II they
sense your plan and are on their
toes, may lead a trump at you
whenever they can, thus making
you use up two trumps on those
occasions and cutting down by
one the number of ruling tricks.

LESS RUBBER IN
 NEW ARMY SHOES
Uncle Same Adopts New Type of Footgear to Save
 Leather, Rubber

Boston, July 16-All future pro- curements by the Quartermaster Corps of service shoes for the Army will include a perfected type of composition sole resulting in the saving of tremendous quantities of leather and rubber during the re- mainder of this year, it was an- nounced today at First Corps Area Headquarters.
 As Biginally developed by the Quartermaster Corps the new sole was composed of black carbon with small amounts of reclaim and crude rubber. Further improvements, how ever, have resulted in decreasing the amount of crude rubber used and its complete elimination is scheduled for next month.
 The composition sole, it is claimed, wears longer, costs less, and has un- usual waterproof qualities. Sewed and nailed to the regular single leather sole, the black carbon tap, as it is officially known, is believed to be the best sole ever used on most types of terrain by the Army.

TAX BILL DEBATE
 STARTS TODAY
House Begins to Wrangle Over Heaviest Tax Meas
 ure in All History

Washington, July 16 - (U.P) = The house begins debate today on the heaviest tax bill ever levied on the American people under three day gag rule that bars revision ex- cept on the motion of the ways and means committee.
 Debate on the $6,143, 100000 war revenue program is expected to be uneventful. Since no amendments can be offered from the floor, the debate can have little effect on the outcome.
 Some members of the ways and means committee may discuss charges that the committee drafted the measure in a series of trades and rolling They were made in 8 minority report by Representative Harold Knutson, R., Minn., who served notice that he would offer a motion to return the bill to com mittee for revision of the corpora tion income and excess profits taxes.
 The corporation rates also were opposed by ranking minority ways and means committeeman, Repre- sentative Allen T. Treadway, R., Mass, who said he would vote for the bill, however.
 The rules committee met the re- quests of House leaders yesterday for a closed rule on the bill limiting debate to three days. The final roll call vote on the measure probably will not come until Monday.

URGES SUPPORT
 FOR PRESIDENT
Record of Governor Hur- ley Praised By DOnahue
 in Keynote Address

"Our president, the commander in-chief of our armed forces, must have the whole-hearted, cooperative and sincere support of congressional and state officers not only while the WIT is being waged but also when the terms of peace are being laid down." New Haven County Young Democrats were told at Seymour last night by Joseph P. Donahue, secretary to U. s. J. Jo- seph Smith during the latter'S serv- ice in Congress.
 MT. Donahue, who is regarded as possibility for the Democratic congressional nomination in the fifth district this year, declared at the annual county convention that the mistakes that followed World War I, and that paved the way for the present conflict, must not be repeated. Election of men support ing the Presidents policies is need ed this fall, he asserted.
 "We may well be proud of the &C., complishments of Gov. Hurley and his administration" the keynote speaker said," and proud to work for his reelection to office"
 The convention chose Edward R. Collins of Seymour as county presi- dent. He succeeds Nicholas zappone of Waterbury, who declined to seek reelection.
 Other officers elected were:
 Edward Checarelli, Derby, first president; Cecile Marchetti, Meriden, second vice-president; Mrs. Anna Lane, Seymour, record secre- tary; John Kopcha, Waterbury, treasurer; Rep. Henry Mccormack, Ansonia, county organizer; Nicholas Zappone, Waterbury, chairman of the executive board
 The Young Democrats adopted resolutions promising unqualified support to President Roosevelt and Gov. Hurley.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-07-16

July is the critical time in the spread of Dutch elm disease and, now that federal assistance has been curtailed, private individuals and communities must shoulder more of the responsibility for its suppression, urges Dr. R. B. Friend of the Connecticut Agricultural Ex- pertinent Station in New Haven. The European elm bark beetle, prime carrier of the disease, is now laying eggs in its tunnels beneath the bark of dead or dying elm wood. A few early beetles are already evil dent but the mass emergence will occur next month. In order to hold down the spread of the disease, 1t is imperative that this infested wood be destroyed before the beetle brood takes wing; that is, before August first.
 No Federal Action
 The federal government this year is doing no Dutch elm disease con- trol work within the infested area. Scouts are patrolling only the per- iphery of the area in an attempt to prevent its spread to unaffected areas. In Connecticut this means that large corner of the State southwest of the Connecticut River will go untreated, except for local enterprise. The present quarantined area includes all of Fairfield Coun- ty; the towns of Bethlehem, Bridge water, Harwinton, Litchfield, Mor- ris, New Milford, Roxbury, Thomas ton, Torrington, Washington, Water town and Woodbury in Litchfield County; the towns of Bethlehem, Bridgewater, Harwinton, Litchfield, Morris, New Milford, Roxbury, Thomaston, Torrington, Washing ton, Watertown and Woodbury in Litchfield County; all of New Ha- ven County except the towns of Cheshire, Madison, Prospect and Wolcott; and the town of Preston in New London County.
 The bark beetles, which spread
