West led the queen of clubs
against the spade game and declarer
won it in his own hand. He then
played a trump to dummy's ace
and trump back to his king. The
seven of clubs followed and when
West played the eight, dummy's nine
won. A small heart was returned.
But East was alert. Realizing
that he must get on lead to start
the diamond suit, East played the
king of hearts. To his delight it
held the trick and the diamond
shift beat the hand. Had East
woodenly played low on the heart
he would never have won the lead
and the club suit would have come
in for the game.

More Butter for Civilians
Expected After April |

More butter for civilian tables
after April l appeared likely today
as it was learned that in the second
1914 quarter the Government would
requisition substantially less than
the 80 per cent it took last year.
A War Food Administration
spokesman said the civilian allo-
cation Of butter for the second quar-
ter of the year had not been de-
termined, but he indicated it would
be above the 4l2,000,000 pounds al
located in the first quarter.
An OPA spokesman warned, how
ever, that on the basis of 16 points
a pound the butter program at pres
ent is just about holding its own,
and that the second quarter alloca-
ton would have to be increased
substantially to permit any reduc-
tion in point value.
The next schedule of point values
for rationed foods will be issued
about April l.
A large percentage of the butter
to be set aside beginning April l
will go to the armed services, and
the War Shipping Administration
will receive a smaller portion.
WA plans to take no butter un-
der the order, but will meet its
lease-lend commitments through
stocks already on hand. These
stocks on March l amounted to

Bus Traffic CurtaiIed

PITTSBURGH, Mar. ia strike
of 400 to 500 drivers and other en-
ployes today halted movement Of
practically all buses in the Grey
hounds system from the Atlantic
seaboard to the Middle West, H. s..
Crawford, regional manager of the
company, said today.
Mr. Crawford said the walkout
was precipitated by the discharge
of two drivers here because the men
refused to take their buses out. He
said the management had offered to
submit the dispute to arbitration as
provided in its contract but the
union had not accepted the offer.
The strikers are members of the
AFL Amalgamated Association of
Street and Electric Railways and
Motor Coach Employees. Union
officials could not be reached imme-
diately for a statement.
The last bus to leave Pittsburgh
was the 6:15 am. coach for East
Liverpool, Ohio.
The walkout halted Greyhound
bus traffic over routes radiating out
of Pittsburgh to Chicago, Columbus,
Cleveland, Detroit. New York, WASH
ington Philadelphia, Scranton and
other cities.
An official of the Greyhound ter
minal here said the Pittsburgh strike
had not affected any employees here.
Pennsylvania Greyhound buses have

however. He said the Blue Ridge

tween Pittsburgh and Washington.

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS,
Southwest Pacific, Mar. IT,
American troops hacked away at
japanese defenses around Lo-
|rengau Airdrome on Manus
Island, headquarters reported
today, after a new landing de-
signed to wipe out the last Or
ganized Japanese resistance in
the Admiralty group of the Bis
marck Sea.
Going ashore under cover of q
bombardment of rocket guns, land
based artillery on nearby islets, ma
val guns and arial bombing, a
strong force of the dismounted 1st
Cavalry Division broke light Japa-
neSe resistance in the first hours OF
the assault Wednesday.
They pushed within half mile oi
Lorengau Village and the airdrome
after landing near Lugos Mission or
the northeast coast of Manus. They
suffered minor casualties.
Proceeding Cautiously.
After their initial success, the
troops, who only Is days ago landed
on Los Negros Island and captured
strategic Remote airstrip, proceeded
cautiously.
A headquarters spokesman sale
the advance was continuing despite
Japanese wood and dirt pillboxe.
and machine-gun nests.
Capture of Lorengau air strip
would virtually conclude the Admir-
atty campaign. The remainder OF
the island, 49 miles long and Ie
miles wide, is largely jungle.
Air Offensive Continues.
The communique today told also
OF 500-ton aerial offensive against
japanese from Wewak, New Guinea,
to Bougainville Island in the Solo
mons. Wewak was hit for the 11th
time this month, getting 140 tons
of bombs and five japanese planes
were shot down. Rabaul, New
Britain, got a 173-ton plastering-
the 10th raid this month. Anti
aircraft fire there was heavy.
At Empress Augusta Bay, where
new ground attacks by the japanese
were repulsed with heavy enemy
losses, 145 tons of bombs blasted
Japanese positions.

.Badoglio Recognition
Won't Be Considered
By u. s., Hull Says
Soviet Accepted Regime
Without Our knowledge,
Secretary Reveals
BY the Associated Press.

Secretary OF State Hull made
it clear today that the United
States would not consider ex-
tending diplomatic recognition
to the Badoglio government in
Italy.
Mr.. Hull also disclosed at a news
conference that the United States
was not consulted by the Soviet gov
ernment before Moscow's decision to
exchange official representatives
with the Badoglio regime.
The Secretary first was asked
whether the United States was con-
suited by Moscow. There has been
speculation that both Washington
and London possibly had approved
Russia's recognition of the Badoglio
setup because, according to this view,
Washington and London secretly
wanted to see the regime strength
ened in power.
Mr.. Hull said he had some infor-
nation on what was going on about
the time that the Italians made the
announcement, but that we were not
consulted by Russia The State De-
partment, he added, is assembling
all the facts and circumstances in
volved in the diplomatic exchange.
Mr.. Hull then indicated that Rus
sia's diplomatic recognition of the
Badoglio regime normally should
come up in the first instance before
the Allied Advisory Council on Italy
Asked whether the United States
| would enter into such relations with
Badoglio, Mr.. Hull replied that the
question is not arising under our
policy. He would not 60 into the
policy, explaining that certain de-
tails are in process of development
at this time, and he did not think
it would be effective to raise policy
questions now
American policy, as made evident
| in previous pronouncements, calls
for removal of King Victor Emman-
uel and Badoglio when the Allies
reach Rome. There is no evidence
here that any responsible official
favors maintaining those two in
power once Rome has been freed OF
Germans and restored to the italian
people.
