The vigor with which West dou-
bled four spades made it clear that
he thought a juicy plum was about
to drop in his lap-but his enthusi-
asm was premature.
West opened the diamond deuce.
The ace won and heart was led
from dummy. East ducked but
South, placing the heart ace on his
right because of Easts overcall, cor
rectly played the king. The heart
jack then went to Vests queen and
declarer ruffed the diamond return.
A third heart lead was ruffed in
dummy while West discarded club
and the club ace was then cashed.
Now, on club lead from dummy
East won with the 10 and laid down
the club king, but to no avail. De-
clarer ruffed with the spade king.
then led another heart. West was
helpless: whether he ruffed high or
low or discarded diamond the only
trick he could take was the trump
queen.
Strangely enough, an original
trump lead by West, with a follow
up after winning the heart queen
would have defeated the contract bv
preserving two heart tricks for the
defenders. But, despite this fact. it
would have been safer, under the
vulnerability conditions, for West to
raise his partners diamond bid than
to depend on defeating four spades.

Nazis Ask 22o, 900 More
To Rush Atlantic Wall
b. the Associated Press.

B, the Associated Press.
BERN, Switzerland, April 81
Germanys latest request for q new
contingent Of 220, 900 Frenchmen to
help construct coastal fortifications
has disclosed that the Nazi's AT
lantic WALL Is not yet finished,
usually reliable French circles said
today.
Foreign diplomatic observers took
1t for granted that Pierre Laval, just
beginning his second year as chief
OF the French government, would
grant the German request. thus
bringing to 1000 600 the total num-
Der of Frenchmen in Nad labor
services.
The CONSUMPTION, these sources
indicated, would handicap French
agriculture. Negotiations, which
probably will be concluded soon by
visit of Laval to Adolf Hitler,
concern the question Of how this
difficulty may be eased.
Germany recently asked for $50 900
men as workers against the complete
liberation of $4,000 prisoners and
liberation of 250,OO0 additional
prisoners provided they work In
Germany.

To Ask Qualification
OF Present Status
Euch Committee Told
To Apply for Ruling
From c Commissioners

The city wide committee appointed
to carry out Federally sponsored de-
tense programs were told yesterday
to 60 directly to the Commissioners
to clarity their position after the
Executive Committee operating the
Civilian War Services Division of
the Districts civilian defense re-
signed.
At the same time, the divisions
Planning Committee approved a
resolution asking the Commissioners
to reconsider their decision to
scrap" the Civilian War Services
program here.
Rap Commissioners Action.
Charging that the Commissioners
have abandoned the program that
enlisted and directed the efforts of
thousands of volunteers and "by
their action ruled that Washington
ians shall not be helped to help
themselves and the Nations Capital
in concerted war effort" the
Planning Committee declared that
the Commissioners have relegated
Washington to last place in the
national parade"
The committee recommended that
the Commissioners re-establish the
program on a stronger basis, give
vigorous support to the Volunteer
Once and see that the block-leader
system is better organized and
directed.
If we are paralyzed into virtual
inaction through loss of the Civilian
War Services" the committee resolu-
ton continued, lit will not require
enemy bombs to reduce the war
effort OF the District. We will be
burdening it with a greater and
greater load of unsolved community
wartime problems.
Cites City Confusion.
The committee, in answer to oues-
lions about the status of the city
wide committees and areas organi-
cations, declared that Sin view of
the present confused state of the
civilian defense organization" it
could not make definite statement
as to the status of the committees
officially appointed by Commissioner
Young as United States Co-ordina-
tor.
The committee recommended that
each group concerned should at
tempt to get its position clarified by
the Commissioners.
Before the adjournment of the
meeting, attended by the planning
committee and chairman of the
various war services committees, it
was voted that the group meet again
next Monday to discuss the status
OF civilian war services at that time.
