This situation did not hold true in today's hand, however. By 8 series of clever bids, North and South arrived at a practically un- beatable slam contract with only seven of the trump suit between them. After South's reversal bid o1 two diamonds, which showed 9 strong hand, North made a jump
 bid in spades, showing a fairly solid spade suit with some outside strength. South, with only single ton spade in his hand, rebid his club suit, and now North made the very fine bid of four diamonds North had bid and rebid spades and if South had any support for that suit, he would show it at his next opportunity.
 When South heard about the lit in diamonds, he made the Black wood bid for four no trump, asking for aces. Norths response of five hearts showed two of the three missing aces. South then could safely bid six diamonds. On win- ming the opening lead with the heart aces. East returned trump. South cashed one high club, ruffed club in dummy, and after draw ing trumps, spread the hand.

Ign Sections; Explains
Tax Rate Decline

Republican mayoralty candidate
John J. Kearney, speaking at var
ious rallies In the Bunker Hin sec
ton last night, stated that the adj
ministration has not been directly
responsible for the tax reduction but
that It has come about in part
through the fact that the grand
tax list Of the city has been in-
creased by additional building, by
q sum Of S275, 900, and that It Is this
factor principally that has aided In
the reduction Of the rate from 80
and one half mills 70 80.
The Republican candidate spoke
OF neighborhood rallies at the homes
Of Albert Loeffler on Bunker Till
avenue, and Harold Rogers at Wa
tertown avenue, and at q Lithu.
anian Republican rally In Brooklyn.
Accompanying him were Alder
manic leader Burton H. Walker,
candidate for controller; Homer
Bernier, candidate for city treas
urer, and Floyd Rasmussen, Mr..
Kearney's publicity manager.
Edward M. Ryan, state chairman
Of the American Progressive party,
also called on his constituents to
talk, work and campaign.
Referring to the present admin
istration as o "do-nothing" party
he charged that the platform Of
the Democratic party is biased on
willful deceit around which q fake
smoke screen has been erected"

WALKER DENIES
RADIO CHARGES
Alderman Answers Corp.
Counsel HeaIey's Poll
teal Broadcast

Speaking at q meeting Of the
League Of Women Voters yesterday,
Burton H. walker, Republican noln-
inee for controller vehemently and
personally attacked City Corpora
ton Counsel Maurice +. Healey in q
speech in which he labeled the 10.
cal legal officials q "hired spokes.
man" and "hatchet man" Of the
administration.
Mr.. Walker took this means as q
reply to the speech made by the
corporation counsel Thursday night
In which the latter cited what he
termed were "capricious judgments"
on the part Of the controller cam
didate in his past actions as leader
Of the Republican board Of alder
men.
Mr.. Walker yesterday denied the
allegations made by Mr.. Healey that
he had voted against various meas
ures that were of benefit to the
city, claiming that he had not op.
posed the adoption Of the 1910
budget, as claimed by the corpora
ton counsel, because 1t did not con-
tain provisions calling for q pay
boost for q personal friend Of his
In the fire department, but rather
that he had opposed It because 1t
had requested a. $1,000 increase for
several city hall employees.
Mr.. walker pointed to other
charges made by Mr.. Healey and
denied that he had ever opposed
voting for the purchase Of land near
the Municipal Golf course, or voted
against the ripping up Of the troll
ley tracks for the purpose OF donat-
ing them to the city scrap pile.
Making reference to some Of the
qualifications Of the present adj
ministration he said:
1T Is the sad but often accepted
theory that too often q candidate Is
chosen not because Of his aptitude
for the office In question, but be-
cause Of strings that he can pull.
Persons should be chosen who can
cope with the problems they will
encounter. For example q successful
manufactures would not hire a
farmer to work In his engineering
department.

MAYOR HOPES FOR
RECORD VOTE HERE
Praise for Associates on
Ticket Given at Young
Democrats Meeting

In O speech before the Young
Democratic club ct the Elton last
night, Mayor John s. Monagan
urged the appearance at the polls
on November 2 Of all available cleo
tors, Democrats and Republicans
alike.
Referring to the statement OF
President Lincoln, who at the time
OF the Civil War, pointed out that
during O time Of crisis, such as war,
1t Is more important than in normal
times, that people exercise their
powers TO determine whether de-
mocracy during such crisis can de.
fend itself; and whether 1t could
still exist and fight war and not
become a dictatorship.
Mayor Monagan stated, "the more
people who go to the polls on Nov.
2 the better 1t will be for all Of us,
Democrats and Republicans alike"
Replying to the charges OF Re-
publican mayoralty candidate John
J. Kearney that the administration
has not effected tax reduction
through its own type economy but
because the tax levy Is larger than
1t ever has been, Mayor Monagan
said, AL one has to do to determine
whether he Is paying more taxes
now than he did four years ago Is to
look UP his tax bills"
Mayor Monagan spoke before O
large gathering Of Young Democrat
club members presided over by It's
president, Nicholas zappone. He
said that 1t was true that the total
tax levy Is greater, but the burden
on the individual taxpayer Is less
than before. He stated that Mr..
Kearney was in error when he
claimed that the tax reduction IN
the Scully-Monagan regime had been
but one mill. The rate was 80 and
one-half mills In 194l and Is but Sc
mills now a reduction Of 2 and one
half.
Referring to the charges by Mr.
Kearney that the administration Is
the same old crowd with new
faces" the Mayor pointed to the
fact that this Is the first time he
has run for local office, the first
time that Neil F. Maloney, candi-
date for city controller has been up
and is the first time for members
Of various boards.
The Mayor praised the business
ability of other party associates
at the meeting referring to the fine
record of tax collections made by
city Tax Collector Humbert E. Man.
gini whose efforts have resulted IN
the past in the city realizing about
90 per cent of its total tax levy.
He cited the efficient office adj
ministration Of others such as Mrs.
Mary Kilmartin, Neil F. Maloney
and City Treasurer, Serge F. Be-
LANCER, all Of whom followed the
Mayor as speakers at the meet
ing.
William T. harrington, one of the
organizers of the club, praised the
standards maintained by the mayor
and pointed out that all through his
administration and noted particu-
larly during the primary fight.
Mayor Monagan has never been per-
sonally attacked as to his integrity
and sincerity. Mr.. harrington stated
that such standards typified the
ideals Of the club.
President Nicholas zappone urged
that all club members aid IN every
way in helping to bring voters IN
at election time. Mrs. Kilmartin
and Mr.. Belanger both urged cooper.
alton on the part OF all members OF
the party during the campaign.
