Fine Points in Bridge

Winning the spade Q lead with

hearts. but they didn't break. Now
he would have gone down two
tricks If he hadn't figured out a
play in spades which would limit
the less TO one. Three clubs and
three diamonds were played to
strip out those suits and then the
spade 5 was led. West came in
with the 10. and--now for the nice
little play in this deal-the spade
Q was played from dummy
West had to play now from his
Ut into the AS. so that South got
the last two tricks. II on the
throw-ln play, the spade s had
had been played from dummy. and
West returned the 7. the 9 could
have won 1t In dummy. but then
the heart } would have lost the
final trick to East's ]. II South
had overtaken that 9 with his A.
he then would have had to give
up the to Vests J on the last
trick. So the unlocking play Of
that o was the key to limiting
the loss 10 down one.

Washington, June 14-(UP)-The Armys high rate of rejection of men for mental and nervous reasons nearly 23 per cent of the total re- jectionS-makes Selective Service Director Lewis B. Hershey wonder whether "maype we are all unfit for modern war"
 Hershey, in testimony before a House appropriations subcommittee released today, revealed that about one-third of the rejections for white men were for mental and nervous reasons. He said that out of total of 2,870, 900 rejectionS of both whites and Negroes, 657,200 were rejected for mental disease, neurological dis orders or mental deficiency. The second greatest cause of rejectionS was syphilis.
 His testimony was considered an answer to charges at the recent convention ot American pSycholo- gists in Detroit that the Army had given only Hip service to the elim- ination of those who are unable to stand modern warfare"

Nazi Spy Betrayed U. $. At Pearl Harbor
Days Before Attack Missed Being tiitler's Hang man; Now Doing 50 Years at Hard Labor
BY EULALIE MCDOWELL United Press Staff Correspondent


 Washington, June 14.-CUP)-A German spy played major role in the attack on Pearl Harbor, pro- viding the Japanese with the num- bers and types of American ships there and devising and operating a system of light signals for betrayal of the U. s. fleet four days before the attack. the Office of War In- formation revealed today.
 Bernard Julius Otto Kuehn, a German agent and member of the Nazi party, was arrested December 8, 1941, found guilty of espionage by military commission on Febru- ary 2l, 1922 and sentenced to be shot. On October 26, 1922, his sen- fenced was commuted to 50 years at hard labor. Keuhn claims that he missed becoming Gestapo chief un- der Heinrich Himmler because Rein hard CHangman) Heydrich double crossed" him.
 One signal devised by Kuehn for the Japanese fleet was a light from a dormer window in his house at Kalama, a small community located at Kai Lua, Oahu, on the eastern side of the island. Another light was to be flashed from a beach house owned by the Kuehns at Lan- ikai.
 Kuehn was aided by his wife and his step daughter. The latter oper- ated a beauty parlor for service mems wives near Pearl Harbor
 The OWI release was based on ln- formation from the Federal Bureau of investigation. Many details were lacking, for example, if and when the light actually were flashed, and if they were to whom. II they were flashed to units of the Japan csc fleet, as apparently intended. It indicated that enemy vessels must have been fairly close to the islands.
 Kuehn was first admitted to the United Sttaes at Honolulu, August 15, 1885, ostenSibly to study the Japanese language. He never re- turned to Germany but made two trips to Japan. Between then and 1941 only fragmentary knowledge Of his activities is available, but in the early fall of 1940 the dormer window in his house was construct ed, and the FBI files show the fol- lowing about his work prior to the Pearl Harbor attack:
 In November, 194l, he went to Otojiro Okuda, Japanese vice con- sul at Honolulu and offered to as sist Japan in obtaining information about the national defense of the United States. Kuehn told the FBI

MINERS AWAITING
 WLB DECISION
Little Indication Verdict Will Please Lewis; UNIV
 Meets Wednesday
By RAYMOND LAIR United Press Staff Correspondent

Washington, June 14-(UP)-Ap- palachian coal operators and bitu- minouS miners today awaited a War Labor Board decision in their three months wage dispute with little in- dication that it would be satisfac- tory to United Mine Workers Pres ident John L. Lewis.
 The UNIV, meanWhile, scheduled a meeting for Wednesday afternoon of it's international policy committee to discuss what spokesman called the general situation" The com mittee presumably will consider what action to take after eXpira- tion of the current working truce at midnight Sunday, It also will eX- anime the WLB's decision if it has been announced by that time.
 The board is expected to hand down it's decision tomorrow or We'd nesday, about week after Lewis greatest strategic triumph-one that for a while looked as though it might break the operators solid front.
 But five days after Lewis reached a tentative agreement with central Pennsylvania producers, who with drew from the Appalachian confer ence, the other Appalachian opera tors, who have committed them selves to the W1B decision, still were holding their lines.
 The VILE is expected to rule on the central Pennsylvania agreement in its decision affecting the other operators, but approval appears un- likely.
 The Pennsylvania group agreed to settle the basic dispute over under ground travel wages by paying $1.30 daily for one hour of travel at an overtime rate,
 The union claimed travel pay un- der the wage-hour law, which eS- tablishes a basic 40-hour week, Since the miners basic work week is 35 hours, the board said it could see no justification for tr vel pay unless the travel time exceeded five hours a week.
