purpose Of a hold-up play, delay

basic. 1t IS usually to provide

plays are during No Trump con-
tracts, but there also are times
when suit contracts depend on

Jury Convicfs Clerk
On Charge Of Running
A Disorder|y House
Policeman Registers
Under False Name
To Obtain Evidence

A Municipal Court jury today took
only three minutes to convict Jack
Margrell. 56, former night clerk of
the New York Hotel, 612 F street
NV, on charge of operating a
disorderly house. Judge George D.
Nelson will impose sentence Sep
tember 3.
Vice Squad Policeman James G..
Bryant testified that for two weeks
prior to the raid on the hotel June
19 he had registered in the estab-
lishment under an assumed name
and had seen on various occasions
girls enter the hotel with servicemen.
Margrell took the stand in his own
defense and denied knowledge of
any improper acts in the hotel.
Under cross by As
SiStant United States Attorney Ray
l.. Jenkins, the defendant admitted
that he was on duty the night of the
raid when the registry showed the
signature of Mr.. and Mrs. Bundle
Bee. New York City" Another en-
try from the hotel register intro
duced by Mr.. Jenkins was Mr.. and
Mrs. I, M. Single"
Mr.. jenkins charged that the fic-
titious names on the hotels register
proved that Margrell knew that
improper acts occurred in the ho-
tel"
Previously, Samuel Ishkanian,
owner of the hotel at the time of the
raid, pleaded guilty to the same
charge and was given six
month jail sentence. He is free
under $4,000 bond pending an ap-
peal.
The hotel is now under a new
management, Mr.. Jenkins said.

retary Ickes, q New Dealer second

a lot of "hooey" -. :, that the boys

Not Popular With Congress.
Their youth, in some instances, in
souciance toward Congress and their
role as "thinker-uppers" has not en-
deared them on Capitol Hill. But
former members of Congress
Byrnes, Vinson and Jones can get
almost anything they want from
Congress.
This leads to a saying here and
there that Mr.. Roosevelt has put
middle Of -the-road executives in
top spots to front" for brain
trusters.
But how much do all these various
individuals influence the Presidents
decisions?
The answer you get hereabouts
depends on the experiences and per-
suasion of those you talk with:
Sometimes they do J.. :. Never
Many others both in and out of Gov
ernment are consulted F. D. r.
makes his own decision Hop
kins makes them"
Here are some straws in that wind,
on the word of men in high places
When Mr.. Roosevelt, irked at
their public row, summarily cut the
old Board of Economic Warfare out
from under Vice President WAL
lace, who was its chairman, and di-
vested Jesse Jones of his Recon-
struction Finance Corps authority
to control the BEW purse, the Presi-
dent acted on the advice of Mr..
Byrnes, Judge Rosenman and Mr..
Hopkins.
When F. D. R. replaced Chester
Davis as war food boss with Marvin
Jones, the President talked only to
Mr.. Byrnes about it.
