North was wrong, conventionally
and logically, in passing to South's
jump shift response. Conventional
ly. this type of response demands
that the opener make at least one
rebid, regardless of the partial
score. Logically, North should have
wanted to rebid rather than have
South in a contract that might not
be secure. Presumably. South would
not have Jumped" without a At
In Norths suit, but North knew
that he himself had no fit for
South's suit. A six-diamond con-
tract would have been easy to fulfill,
but South actually went down at two
hearts, and without playing very
badly.
West led his singleton diamond.
Declarer won with the king and laid
down the ace and king of spades.
To his horror, East ruffed and re-
turned diamond. West ruffed and
shifted to the club eight. Des-
perately trying to prevent any more
diamond rufhng, declarer put up
the club ace and led trumps. AS
the cards lay he could have saved
his contract by refusing the finesse
by cashing the ace, then leading
a low trump to force out Vests
king-but declarer could not be ex-
pected to know just how the cards
lay. Actually, he tried the queen
| f1neSse. West won with the king,
cashed the club queen, then exited
with a spade. Since East still had
the 109 of trumps against de-
clarer's ASS, the defenders were
assured of two more tricks, which
were just enough to defeat the con-
tract.

Need GIMP Allot1nents
 In Building Projects
War Housing Contractors Advised to Observe New
 Regulations; Preference Rating Order Changing

Builders of war housing projects who by July l will not have ob- tained all controlled materials ne- cessary for completion of construc- ton should take immediate steps to secure an allotment under the War Production Boards Controlled Materials Plan, the National "Hous- ing Agency announced today.
 WIPE regulations provide that after July l, controlled materials can be acquired only by means of GIMP allotment rather than through a preference rating order as here tofore. Controlled materials used in war housing construction include reinforcing bars, steel pipe, steel wire and wire products, and copper wire mill products.
 c. M. P. ALLOTMENT
 Builders holding preference ra- ting orders for privately financed war housing can secure GIMP al- lotment by filing form CMP-H-1 with the local field office of the Federal Housing Administration, one of the operating units of the National Housing Agency. This form represents the builders application for an allotment of controlled ma terials in accordance with the ap- proved quantities shown in the

bombs, buttressed by shells poured into the island in six naval bom- bardments. Cut off from all hope of reinforcement or supply, the garri- son finally accepted the last of three surrender demands for the Allied command.
 Lampedusa now was in similar plight. She, too, was blockaded completely.
 Lampedusa is little more than a bare rock which in peace time har- bored about 400 Italian convicts. Its main harbor is deep enough to ac- comodate small craft and motor tor pedo boats.
 With its neighbor Linosa, the Lampedusa formation is known as the Isole Pelagie. Its highest point is about 400 feet above sea level and it is about seven miles long and two wide.
 Lampedusa and Linosa together had a peacetime population of ap- proXimately 2,500. Linosa, 30 miles northeast, measures four square miles. For centuries the islands have figured in a minor way in Med iterranean naval history. The islet of Lampione is eight miles west of Lampedusa, from which steamer route was maintained by Italy to Porto Rmpedocle

STUDENTS SEEKING FACTORY POSITIONS
'DOwn-On=the=Farm' Move ment Fails to Enthuse
 Many Local Applicants

Summer industrial work is entic- ing more students than agricultural pursuits, it was indicated by the small registration for farm work by high school students. Despite the pleas for aid at farms of surround ing towns, the young people of the city seem reluctant to enlist, it is reported.
 Shortage of workers in the land army has resulted in call for aid from the local Civil Defense Vol unteer office which will recruit paid workers for berry picking in Bol- ton, it was announced today. Girls over 15 years of age and women are sought to pick berries at the rate of four cents per basket, with a possible daily pay of five dollars. The workers will be transported to the strawberry camp and housing will be provided.

materials list accompanying his preference rating order.
 Execution of form CMP-H-l by the FILA office will also constitute the builders authorization of con struction and will include an as signment of an AA-3 preference rating for obtaining critical mate rials other than controlled mate rials.
 Form CMP-H-1 contains inStruc- tions for the completion and filing of the application for an allotment. Copies of this form may be secured from FILA field offices of WIPE dis trict offices. FILA field offices will also supply builders with an addi- tional information needed in com pleting these forms.
 Constructors building privately financed war housing projects will follow the same procedure, except that their contacts must be with the field office of the Federal Pub lie Housing Authority having juris- diction over the project.
 The National Housing Agency acts as a claimant agency for war housing under the Controlled Ma terials Plan. The MIA will there fore assign preference ratings and allot controlled materials for all war housing.
 Local MIA Quota
 Under this procedure, builders seeking approval for privately financed war housing construction file with the local FILA field office a PD-105 application form and a PD-105A form which lists the ma terials needed for the proposed pro ject. Such applications can be ap- proved only in areas where a local MIA quota for privately financed war housing is available.
 These forms are processed by the FILA office and, if the project is considered acceptable under the war housing requirements, approval is recommended to the WIPE. and If the WIPE office concurs in the find- ing, it issues a P-55-B order, which authorizes the builder to proceed. After July l, Form CMP-H-1 must then be executed by the FILA office before the builder can acquire ma terials for the approved project. For publically financed projects, allot- ment of materials and assignment of preference ratings are carried out by the FPHA.

 A UNIV official commented that its certain they're not going to take that money out of the miners pay envelopes with the miners con- sent"
 Meanwhile, the War Labor Board was preparing it's decision on the UNIV contract dispute with Appa- lachlan operators. The formal breaking off of negotiations yester- day merely emphasized the fact that most of the operators have committed themselves to VILE set tlement of the case.
 The union made it plain that it intends to seek general agreement Of the wage pact completed this week with Central Pennsylvania op- orators. Charles ONeill, who led the Pennsylvania group in bolting the Appalachian conference, planned to submit the agreement to the War Labor Board for approval
 The board has indicated it will not approve the O'Neill agreement offering the miners $1.30 daily for underground travel time. VILE members have shown that they re- gard the $1.30 figure as disguised wage increase with no relation to settlement of any union claim under the Wage-hour law.

SENATE MAY PASS
 ANTI7STRIKE BILL
Continued from Page D

 the 10-year history of the New Deal
 The bill provides presidential au- thority to seize any plant, mine or facility useful to the war effort which is threatened with interrup- tion because of a labor dispute. It provides a $5,000 fine and one-year imprisonment for any person who even encourages interruption of work after the government has taken possession.
 In war industries not seized by the government, the measure stipulateS submitting the dispute to the War Labor Board and provides for 30- day cooling off period and a secret ballot. Proponents of the bill con- ceded that the government still could seize a plant and invoke the 'no-strike" provision if a walkout threatened after the 30-day period.
 The measure also provides statu- tory powers for the War Labor Board, created by executive order, and forbids labor unions from con- tributing to political campaigns.
 As a strictly wartime measure, however, it contains a clause term mating all provisions six months after the cessation of hostilities or earlier on concurrent resolution by both houses of congress.
 The bill was a compromise of anti-strike legislation approved by both houses of congress. The house accepted the compromise yesterday.
 Senator John H. Danaher, R., Conn.,, one of the senate conferees, did not endorse its provision. He protested that the bill gave made quate protection for minority groups in any given plant or for employers.
 He cited hypothetical case of a plant employing 150 skilled machin- ists and 2,000 workers in other de- partments. He said 1t would be difficult for the 150 to obtain en- dorsement of half of the total en- ployes to take to the VILE a con- plaint against working conditions in their single department.
 Danaher also contended that the bill made no provision for an en- ployer to apply for redress from damages resulting from government seizure of a plant.

 GA German broadcast said 36 British bomberS were shot down over western Germany last night)
 Stepping up the renewed Allied pre-invasion aerial offensive against Adolf Hitler"S European fortress, the British bomberS unlOaded scores of two and four-ton super block-busters and thousands of other demolition and fire bombs on the vital targets of the huge Rhein works.
 Nearly all the Australian bomber squadrons in Britain, as well as 12 Polish squadrons, participated in the raid. None of the Polish planes was lost.
 The raid was the 53rd of the war on Dusseldorf, third biggest inland part in Germany and city the size of Buffalo, N. Y. Several square miles of Dusseldorf's most important industrial areas already have been laid waste by British bombs.
 The attack--pressed home by for nations that took more than an hour to cross the English southeast coast--ended a Knight lull in the RAF bomber commands offensive, the longest interruption in its opera tionS since a raid on the Italian naval base of Spezia broke similar lull just "A hours before the Ameri- can landings in North Africa.
 The resumed offensive found both Americana the RAF bomber com- mands stronger than ever before and gave promise of soaring into what Prime Minister Churchill has called an experiment to determine whether Germany can be knocked out of the war by bombing alone.

 The raid was the first by the bomber command since it looSed 1900 tons of bombs on the I. G, Farbenindustrie Chemical Works and a roller bearing factory at Wup- portal in the Ruhr Valley the night of May 29. Thirty-three bombers were lost in that raid.
 The American raids yesterday were centered on the German U- boat yards at WilhelmShaven and the submarine base at CoXhaven, at the mouth of the Elbe river. Bomb bursts were observed on both target areas.
 The more than 200 heavy bombers, almost the largest American force ever employed ill a single days operations, flew between 700 and 800 miles unescorted, but despite fierce enemy fighter opposition over Will helmshaven, only eight planes were lost. A Large number" of inter- cepting German planes was report ed officially to have been destroyed
 The raid on Cuxhaven was the first by the 8th U. s. Air Force, though Wilhelmshaven had been pounded four times previously by four r-engined American planes. The double -barreled attack also ended a 12-day Hull in the American at tacks on Europe.
