Tricky opening no-trump bids
are often effective, though they are
and. like psychics,
are good only when they work. The
unorthodox no-trump bid In today's
deal led to strange result, however.
4 West opened the spade six and
East took the king and ace and led
the jack. West overlook and ran
his two remaining spades. South
had to find three discards and could
not umguard his diamond king, so
he let 60 both his hearts and one
diamond.
Now West started to think how
South could have bid no-trump
when wide open In spades and
hearts, and finally decided the bid
was. predicated on q solid club suit
plus the diamond king. So West
led club, right into Soutlns
strength. South could run six club
tricks, but he finally had to lead
away from the diamond king and
lost two tricks, going down one. If
West had led anything but that
club, South would have made his
contract, either by getting dummy's
heart ace of by winning trick
with his diamond king.

| Tax Bill Agreement
Delayed by SquabbIe
On Renegoiiation Aci
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Two disputed amendments to the
War Contracts Renegotiation Act
prevented final agreement yester-
day on the $2,3l5, 300 900 tax bill.
Conferees worked until late after
noon in a fruitless effort to resolve
their differences, then announced
they would try again tomorrow.
The renegotiation amendments
holding up final action involve the
definition of subcontractor, and
the right of contractor dissatis-
fled with his renegotiation to a
court appeal, regardless of whether
the case has been marked closed.
The Senate measure provides for
appeal to the Court of Claims only
when the contractor and the inter-
estef Government agency have not
signed an agreement.
Revenue sections of the bill al
ready have been approved by the
conference. Nearly half of t,.a new
revenue will come from increased
excise taxes and higher postal rates.
Individual income taxpayers will be

Anthracite Miners
Receive lckes' Appeal
10 Workon Sundays
By the Associated Press.

bs the AsSociAted Press.
Because Of the anthracite short
age. Secretary OF Interior Ickes yes
terday asked for Sunday operation
Of the mines in February-a move
which means no day on for thu
miners during the month since they
already work six days q week.
Under the miners contract they
would get double pay for Sunday
work. The Solid Fuels Admins
tration, headed by Mr.. Ickes, an
nounced arrangements have beer
made with the Once Of Price Ad-
ministrAtion for an increase In
anthracite prices during the period
Of Sunday operation to absorb this
extra cost.
The OPA said the amount of the
price increase had not been de-
termined. The boost will be passed
on to consumers.
A spokesman said the United
Mine Workers is Cooperating
with the Government in the move
Anthracite, widely used for home
heating, has been in short supply
all winter. The STA reported yes
terday that production improved In
the week ended January %, rising tc
], ,2l8,000 tons. That was II 900 tons
above the previous week and the
best record since December 4.
However, the STA said the i'm
provement would not affect the
anthracite shortage materially in
the Eastern States.
Bituminous production remained
at a high level during the week
with 12,650000 tons mined.
Sunday operation would crowd
four additional mining days into
February. Mr.. Ickes said it is neces-
sary to alleviate the shortage and
avoid more serious and tragic con-
sequences"
Anthracite is mined solely in
Eastern Pennsylvania. Mr.. Ickes
said churches in the region were
consulted on the question CT emer-
gency Sunday work. and approved
it.
Formal orders to the mines for
Sunday work went out from j. w
Morgan. assistant deputy coal mines
administrator.

In a radio address last night Rep
