West, in spite Of his partners dia-
mond bid, decided that a spade lead
from his solid sequence could do no
harm and might do some good. He
was right, for on any other lead the
contract would have been q lay-
down. South won the spade queen
with his king and played his two top
trumps; noting the bad break, he
attacked clubs, hoping that East
had as many as two Of the suit.
But East trumped the second round.
laid down the diamond ace, then
returned his one remaining spade.
South won with dummys ace, ruffed
diamond, then put East in with
the high trump. And, since East
had no more spades, South trumped
the diamond return, then discard
ed his losing spade on dummys
fourth club.
Do you see East's mistake? After
ruff1ng the second club, East should
have returned spade, knocking out
dummy's ace. Then If South played
a third club "a poor play East
would ruff, and the dummy would
be dead" If South chose to put
East in with his high trump. East
could and should underlead the
diamond ace In the hope that West
held the king. West would win and
cash the setting trick in spades.

100000 Do|mage Suit
AGAINST Kent Dismissed

A 100000 damage suit filed last
April by Mrs. Frances Dolmage,
1700 block of M street NV, against
Otis Beall Kent, wealthy retired
lawyer, charging him with false ar
rest and malicious prosecution, was
ordered dismissed yesterday by
Justice F.. Dickinson Let's, sitting
in pretrial branch of District Court.
Justice Let's granted an oral mo-
ton of the defendant for dismissal
because of public records in the case
of Mrs. Dolmage, who is now serving
a sentence for perjury.
The damage suit was filed by Mrs.
Dolmage after she had been &C
quilted at District Court on a charge
of larceny of more than $4,000
worth of jewelry from Mr.. Kent's
apartment in the 1000 block of Six
teenth street NV.
Subsequently, however, Mrs. Dol
mage pleaded guilty to charge of
giving perjured testimony at her
trial on the larceny charges. She
then was given a sentence of from
one to three years on the perjury
count. Mrs. Dolmage is the wife of
a dentist.
Before the perjury sentence, a
large part of the jewelry she had
been accused of taking was recov-
cred by 1t. Joseph w. Shimon, chief
investigator of the United States
attorneys Office. who trailed her to
Mexico. She accompanied him back
to Washington and part of the jew
elery was found in an apartment
she had rented to another person.

U. 5. Foresters Forecast
Plenty Of Christmas Trees

The Agriculture Departments
Forestry Service predicts there will
be enough Christmas trees and

for this years holiday.
Spiking rumors of tree SHORTAGES
officials said they believed shippers
will avoid glutes which occurred
last year In many cities, including
Washington.
The word got around then that
there would be a shortage of trees
from the Pacific Northwest and
Canada. Accordingly, local oper-
ators stocked up on trees from near
by sources, hoping to make a kill
ing" Instead, glut developed and
thousands Of trees ended up on
dump heaps.
Cutting in the North began about
two weeks ago, according to the
Forestry Service. Prospects are that
manpower will be available to SUD-
ply all the trees needed.

had prevented his going into Cleve-
land and Detroit, and also Western
New York, with the campaign.
Pleased by War Progress.
In this connection, he expressed
pleasure at the way the war is pro-
crossing, and said that "our ad-
vance toward Japan is many
months ahead Of our own optimistic
schedule" Further, he said, I'VE
do not expect to have winter lull
in Europe"
AS he has often done, however,
the President warned that there is
still much fighting ahead. He told
his audience to think on "all the
long, tough miles to Berlin-all the
major landings yet to be made in
the Pacific" and then, he said,
you'll will have a conception, of
the magnitude of the job that re-
mains to be done. 1t is still job
requiring the all-out production eff
forts of all of our people here at
home"
The President also repeated his
criticism of those-he previously has
identified them as Republican poll
ticians"-Who have said that the
Congress would not cooperate with
a Democratic President in building
world peace structure.
Serious Matters"
Certainly the United States
Senate and the House of Repre-
sentatives showed no reluctance to
agree with the foreign policy of this
administration when, almost un-
animously, they passed the Con-
nally and Fulbright resolutions
which pledged this Nation to CO.
operate in a world organization for
peace" he said.
These are high and serious
matters to those who know how
greatly our victory in the war and
our ability to establish a lasting
peace depend on maintaining un-
shaken that understanding which
must be the core of the United
Nations" !
Telling of the "hours" he has
spent in talking with the represent
atives OF the smaller nations, as
we'll as those Of the larger Allies,
Mr.. Roosevelt said that "all of them
have this in common-that they
yearn for peace and stability and
look to America with hope and
faith"
President Roosevelt emphasized
his intention to continue after the
war "the teamwork we have demon
strated in this war"
BY carrying out the plans we
have made, We can avoid a post
war depression-we can provide en-
ployment for our veterans and our
war Workers-we can achieve
orderly reconversion," he said.
Above all, we can avoid another
1alse boom like that which burst in

D. {. Man Seeks New Trial
OF Suit 10 Recover Brooch

A request for new trial of suit
to obtain possession of a diamond
brooch found in a Norfolk, Va, hotel
room has been filed in the Court of
Law and Chancery in Norfolk by
Jacob E. Flax, president of Republic
Pictures Corp. of Washington.
Possession of the jewelry was
awarded to the Monticello Hotel,
Norfolk, Wednesday by Judge o. L.
Shackleford.
Mr.. Flax found the brooch May
81, 1943, in a room he occupied at
the hotel. He turned it over to the
management, expecting the owner
to claim it later. When no one
claimed the jewelry after a year
had elapsed, Mr.. Flax instituted an
action to recover it.
Judgement of the court was re-
turned. against his claim when
counsel for the hotel was sustained
IN a motion to strike out the evi-
dence on the ground that the brooch
was the property of the hotel since
1t was found in room and not in
the public part of the building.

With other preoccupations than
the American election, the German
and japanese radios have had little
to say about the 1914 presidential
race.
Random comments today ap-
peared geared almost entirely to
the necessities Of internal propa-
ganda on the home front. One ex-
PLANTATION for the paucity of echoes
to the campaign may be that Ber-
lin and Tokyo have little opportu-
nifty for direct observation of elec-
ton trends.
A German-language broadcast
from the Nazi-controlled Sloyak
radio today quoted the Deutsche
Allgemeine Zeitung thus:
1T will not have escaped attentive
readers that we In Germany have
not taken much notice Of the United
States presidential election. That is
SO because we regard Roosevelt's re-
election as a dead certainty"
This broadcast, recorded by the
Federal communications Commits
sion, added that:
There can be no doubt that
Roosevelt, Churchill and Stain orig
inally hoped to be able to announce
victorious conclusion of the war in
Europe before the election
This strongest Of all possible
election tricks, however, did not
come off," 1t said. consequently
Roosevelt, in his capacity as COM
mander In chief, has ordered two
big military operations to be car
ried out to make up for this fail
ure."
One Of these, the radio said, was

Europe there are a growing num-

NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-Democratic
National Chairman Robert E. Han
negan said last night that the Re-
publican party has sought to divert
the people from the real issues OF
the presidential campaign by "a
campaign OF division and disunity
Of falsehood and bigotry."
Speaking over the National
Broadcasting System on the same
program with President Roosevelt,
he declared:
with cunning and malice they
have spread vast network of lies
lies conceived in hate and intol-
erance. We cannot build better
America on such foundation. But
upon the foundation of achieve
ment, confidence and courage which
President Roosevelt has laid we can
and will build better America"
Mr.. Hannegan added: GAS I view
the Republican strategy in this cam
paign, it is based on a single word
hate"
Decribing Gov. Thomas E. Dewey's
appearance in Boston Wednesday
night as "a shabby performance -
Mr.. Hannegan accused the Repub-
lican presidential nominee of seek
ing "in the midst of war to smear
our Commander in Chief as an ally of
Communism"
He quoted Gov. Dewey as saying
that I'm America, a Communist
Is a man who supports fourth term

Oldest Inhabitants
Discuss Staying Of
President Garfield

"reminiscences centering around
the assassination of President Gar
field by Charles j. Guiteau in July,
1881, were recounted last night by
members of the Association of Old
est Inhabitants.
Citing DR.. William Tindall's "Sur-
gical Tragedy" John Clagett Proc
tor, acting president, told the group
1t was not the assassin's bullet, but
the surgical operation in probing
for 1t which was the immediate
cause of the Presidents death.
George A. Howe, then a messen-
ger in the District Building, said
he reached the scene shortly after
the tragedy. He recalled the STIR
ring march written especially for
the funeral by John Philip Sousa.
The Government Printing Once
practically closed down for the re-
mainder Of the day, according to
John B. Dickman, who then was en-
ployed there. When they returned
to work, everybody was worried
about being paid for the time lost,
he added.
William E. Richardson, chief Judge
of the Municipal Court of Ap-
peals, said that in the early days of
criminal prosecution in the District
there were two sets of laws, the
Maryland laws which governed the
District Courthouse and the Vir-
ginia laws governing the Alexandria
Courthouse. Under the Maryland
law there were 20 offenses subject to
capital punishment, he pointed out,
and under the Virginia laws only
about half that many.
Stating that many criminal cases
in the District have attracted Ma
tion-wide attention, he added, with
a chuckle, that the most recent case
to catch his interest was q month
ago when two young men burgled
my house and took about $780,"
Grave robbing was quite an in
dustry in Washington at one time,"
according to Mr.. Proctor, who re-
called that medical schools obtained
their "stiffs" from ghouls who un-
earthed bodies from District ceme-
teries. especially from Potter's Field
near the District Jail.
