Ecuador
Quake
Kills 60

GUAYAQUIL. Ecuador. May IA
(UP). - A violent earthquake
rocked Guayaquil and surrounding
territory last night. killing at
least 90 persons, smashing three
large buildings and disrupting
electric and communications lines
over the metropolitan area.
The temblor lasted one minute
in Guayaquil, city of $4,000 in
southwestern Ecuador. Heaviest
damage was observed in the down.
town area, where the three rein
forced concrete buildings we're
wrecked. A four-story building
tumbled within 10 seconds after
the first shock.
The quake was followed by
numerous fires throughout the
damaged area, but most Of the
blaZes were soon brought under
control. The civilian population
rushed wildly through the streets
for several moments after the first
shock.
First reports indicated several
statues of historical value were
destroyed. Cities in interior Ecua-
dor reported less violent shocks.
Earthquakes are not uncommon
along the western coast of South
America.

Treasury Eyes
Head Tax for
Income Filters

WASHINGTON. MAY Il UP
~Secretary OF Treasury Henr,
Morgenthau Jr. said today that
The treasury Is studying q proposal
for a nominal head tax on every
pne who file an income tax re-
turn. regardless OF the amour, OF

The proposal. suggested by
Chairman Walter F George CD
of Georgia, of the Senate finance
committee, would consist OF an cX-
animation tax 10 pay for the cost
Of examining all returns Morgen-
thau stressed that the tax would
be small.
This would help uS a great
deal In examining the great
number of new taxpayers" he
said. "Ii we can do this legally,
well recommend IL. Something
like this would be wholesome"
CORPORATE EVASION
Morgenthau said the treasury
also Is considering action. under
its existing powers, 10 prevent
evasion of orporation taxes
Through sudden and excessive sal
ery raises OF corporation officials
Ind employees.
Morgenthau said that such
rpaddipg' of salaries would be
hisallowed in the computation of
corporate taxes.
I, Morgenthau added the treasury
Is willing to accept the decision of
the House ways and means COM
mittee in lowering individual in
come tax exemptions.
. The committee reduced exemp-
tions from $500 to 81, 200 for
married couples and from $3.50 10
$500 for single persons. Morgen-
THAI had recommended the 1900
figure for married persons and
$500 for single persons.
He also had urged an additional
cut to bring exemptions for each
dependent TO $500 instead of the
present $500 figure. The commit
tee, however, did not change the
H4o0.
Randolph Paul, treasury tax ex-
pert, told reporters after Morgen-
thau's press conference that he
believed a head tax would be con-
etitutional.

1T is quite difficult to evoIuote in

1t is probably true thot the principal
marketing cooperotives have been do

ture, than any other oeency They ore
owned and controlled by their menu
bers. They ore not subject to the chang
ing winds Of politics. They work on,

brass hats make tiptoe exits
when stellar temperament ex-
plodes. LaugAton usually started
them by posing as the elder
player offended by some out
rageous bit of dramatic rudenesj
or hoggishness by either Cum
mings or Miss Durbin.
Stalking out of a scene he'd
ray quietly, but with apparent
effort in controlling his anger:
"Of course you're fairly new in
this business, but / must warn
you that If you keep on trying
ouch obvious tricks you'll be
completely out of pictures with

This would bring bitter out
bursts from Cummings OF Miss
Durbin, and in minute all three
would be yelling at each other.
Visitors would be hustled off the
set, and sometimes even the di-
rector, technicians and OF h
players would drift outside for a
breath of air. The three friends
then would relax and talk about
the war.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10
When the eountry's outomo-
bile revolution in reverse"
shakes down, it will be found
that the primoy wortime need
of the privately owned possen-
ger automobile will be for the
transportation of war workers
from home to job and vice YER
50. Furthermore, if auto trons-
portotion Of these workers
breaks down. it is going to be
extremely difficult to find SUBJ
stitutes.
n. S. Foirbonk, chief Of re-
search for Public Roods Ad-
ministrotion, points to q few
examples:
At Baltimore, Nd, some
10000 people ore employed
in the huge Glenn L. Martin
oirpIone plant and they all ride
to work in outomobiles-l per
cent in buses, 80 per cent in
10000 private cars. Pennsyl-
vonio roilrood runs right by
the plant but the roi|woy mon-
ooement has sold it would be
impossible to provide the 10
locomotives, 100 coaches and
80 train crews that would be

ers would require if there we're
no autos.
At YpsiIonti, Mich, the still!
biooer Ford bomber plant will
employ neor'y $4,000 when in
full operation. There ore no
HOUSING accommodations t o r
this number in Ypsilonti. SO
most of the workers will have
to come from the Detroit oreo.
Thot will take from 10000 to
1900 cors, if they oil go fully
loaded.
Those two situations indl-
cote the extent to which wor
workers must depend on Prl-
vote cor transport. AS q mot
ter of foct, when the plant sites

REVOLUTIONARY AFTERMATH

When former President ArnuIfo

Much more than that apparently

since the change more than justified it.

erward Laughton and Cummings
began a campaign of retaliation
by staring and whispering. With
studied indifference they'd stroll
past the offending visitor, but al
ways would manage to glance at
her.
The rest of the company knew
that something was going on,
and dozens of people began look
ling curiously at the woman,
who by now was in an obvious
nervous other. The victim soon
fled.
That gives you an idea. A
more subtle scheme of rubbing
was one that preyed on a vic
TINS curiosity. One of the three
principals, perhaps Cummings,
would engage him determinedly
in dull conversation. Miss Dur

move within earshot and begin
an animated discussion of some

common sense you will lead one
of the top honors, in an effort
to hold the lead and get look
at the dummy. To the casual
player there seems to be no diff
ference which is led, but to
avoid deceiving your partner you
must lead the king, not the ace;
for by conventional agreement
the lead of the ace would deny
holding the king Cor show the
ace-king with no more cards..
In this series of articles / will
cover the two questions in re-
verse order. First will explain
what card you should lead, hav-
ing decided on the suit. After
that will discuss the considera-
tons governing your choice Of
suit.
But first let me point out up
on what conventions, or arbit-
rary agreements, of defensive
play are based. The plan of the
defenders has to rely much more
on knowledge of the patterns
than on the placing of high
cards. The bidding is much more
likely to indicate which hands
hold the greatest length in any
suit than to place the exact high
card holdings.
When the declarer wins the
contract at spades. having bid
the suit voluntarily, he almost
surely has four or more cards of
the suit. But you do not know
whether his holding is topped
by AK, AK, OK, or the six
spot, for whatever tops he lacks
there, may be compensated by
side honors. Knowing that he is
long in spades helps you get
count on the rest of his hand.
All conventions of defensive
play are based on the principle
OF showing where possible (a)
length, (b) strength, are to be
found in that order of import
ance. &.

BY VIM. E. MCKINNEY
Americas Card Authority

The conventions of defensive
play are the language of bridge.
1t is not a difficult language to
learn, but it is precise and must
be thoroughly mastered before
two partners can converse in 1t
intelligently.
An important part of the lam
guage concerns opening leads.
Here, more than in any other
part of defense, the untutored
player is likely to mislead his
more educated partner. The
opening lead tells every player
at the table some important
facts about the leaders hand,
and il the leader selects the card
that tells the lie, he will usual
ly hoodwink his partner worse
than he does the declarer.
In selecting the opening lead,
the player has to answer two
questions: First. what suit should
l open? Second, having decided
on the suit, which card should l
lead?
The first question has to be an
swered by reference to the bid
ding, the leaders hand, even by
psychological factors. There are
some few situations in which the
suit to be led is indicated by
partner through a bidding con-
vention, but most of the time the
leader will have to make this
choice on the merits Of the par
ticular situation.
But when il comes to the sec
ond question, he must be guided
by knowledge of the standard
table of leads, for the choice of
card to lead from any holding is
always dictated in part by con-
vention.
For example, against a con-
tract OF four spades. you have
decided to lead hearts from the
A-K-l0-9-4. As q matter OF
