1000 Mines
Go Back to
Com ponies

WASHINGTON. June % -
lP)-The government gave the
last thousand coal mines back
to their owners today. with the
exception of two in Virginia,
and thus virtually quit being
coal mine operator after l3
months.
Because anthracite and btu
minous wage contracts have
been finally signed and APPROX
ed by the War Labor Board, and
period of labor peace is APP
parently ahead, Interior Secre-
tary Ickes liquidated his job of
bossing the mines and said he
was "tickled to death TO be
rid of it.
Two soft coal mines, both be-
longing 10 the Jewell Ridge
Coal Corp, Tazewell, Va, were
held in government possession
because the company refused to
sign the bituminous wage agree
ment.
BY today's order Ickes re-
stored 800 Pennsylvania anthra-
cite mines to the 1919 companies
which own them. These proper
ties produce about 100000
tons a year. He also restored
about 700 soft coal mines in
Kentucky. Tennessee, Virginia,
West Virginia, Colorado, New
Mexico, and Iowa to the 400
companies which own them.
These companies, the last to
sign the bituminous wage agree
ment, produce about 10000, 900
tons year.
Ickes had already yielded gov
eminent possession of about O.
900 mines producing around 20
per cent of the nations soft coal
tonnage.
Once before, last October, he
had restored the mine to pri-
vate ownership but the operat-
ors and miners had not been
able to reach a wage agreement
and only three weeks later, with

legislators take solemn oath 10

Under questioning by Special
Prosecutor Kim Sigler Chase
yesterday began a recitation,
over defense objections, of the
Legislative history of a bill
enacted into a law regulating
the conduct of small loan COM
panies, and into this testimony
he wove his account of how
legislatures are supposed to
function.
The defense objected that al
though the conspiracy warrant
originally charged that this bill
was involved in the alleged con-
spiracy, it was stricken from
the warrant at start presumably
to avoid conflict with some sub
sequent warrant by grand
jury investigating State govern
ment.
Trial Judge John Simpson al
lowed the history TO be taken
for what it is worth" with I'M
derstanding the bill was not in
volved now in any conspiracy
charge.
Sigler said this testimony
would be followed by history of
bills restricting deficiency judg-
mems in the foreclosure of chat
tel mortgages and regulating
the writing of contracts to fl
nance the purchase of motor We
hicles, drafting Of which the
warrant charges was influenced
by bribery.

Record Reviews
By Alice Eversman.

American composers Of another
generation have not had the same
attention paid them lately as have
their brothers Of more modern ten
dencies. The recording which Vic
tor recently released of Arthur
Foote's Suite for Strings in E Ma
jor, op. So" as played by the Boston
Symphony, Koussevitsky conducting
comes as welcome evidence Of a
talent already f1ourishing at the
beginning of the century.
Composed in 1907 with the de-
lightful pizzicato movement added a
year later, the Suite" is one of the
most charming and refreshing works
of the American literature. 1t is
divided into a prelude, Pizzicato and
Adagietto, and Fugue, all three OF
which have remarkable vitality and
free flowing inspiration. Koussevit-
sky conducts it superbly achieving
a wealth Of effect In the Pizzicato
which is interrupted by the ex-
quisitely beautiful Adagietto, and
rich sorority in the Fugue which is
exceptionally we'll written.
An album of Stokowski's tram
scriptions Of Bachs music is a con-
tinuation of those already issued.
In the last release, the Philadelphia
Orchestra, under his direction, plays
the moving contralto aria from the
st. John Passion" "Es list voll-
bracht." which is impressively treat
ed in the orchestra arrangement, the
Chorale Prelude, Itch ruff zu Dir,
Herr Jesu Christ" the Prelude and
Fugue in e Minor" the third of
those written for Bach's Oldest sons.
and the Sonata in E Flat Ma jor,"
composed for Wilhelm Friedman
Bach. To this is added Palestrina' S
Adoranus Te-.' Stokowski's un-
derstsnding of Bach is unquestion-
able and in these numbers Of varied
character his choice of orchestral
voices for effect is little short of
inspirational.

When Mr.. Henderson picked up
the South hand, as dealer, he found
1t ideal for no trump-a 1884 dis
tribution with 3l2 honor tricks. His
partner, having 2la honor tricks.
responded with two no-trump. With
his well-known no-trump complex
he could not resist going TO three
no-trump. although in view Of the
response many careful bidders would
have tried out a bid of three in
hearts, but not the former head of
the OPA.
When dummy went down, Mr..
Henderson could see eight tricks.
In order to make his contract he
must commit what is known as
bridge larceny" a practice in
which he is daring and generally
successful. His ninth trick must be
heart. He deliberately stole it.,
and East permitted the theft. Vests
lead was the queen of diamonds.
Dummy won with the king, and
without hesitation Mr.. Henderson
quickly led a small heart. East,
following bloodhound custom
which it is often necessary to dis
regard. played low. the eight instead
OF the king. Right there Mr.. Hen
derson made his contract. He played
the ten, and West was obliged to
win with ace and laid down the Jack
OF diamonds, which Mr.. Henderson
allowed to hold the trick. When
East's nine fell on the next lead
the declarer won and played the
jack of hearts, which East took with
his lone king, but he could not lead
back another diamond. He played q
spade, which declarer won and made
all the remaining tricks, including
two hearts. He made four no-trump
instead of three.
Had East played his king of hearts
on the first lead of that suit the
three no-trump contract could have
been set one trick. He would have
sent back a diamond, and when
Mr.. Henderson sought to set up his
hearts West would have won with
the ace and made three more dia-
monds. AS matter OF fact, Mr..
Henderson could have made four
and probably five hearts, but he
got greater satisfaction from max
ing four no-trumps when he should
have been set. East fumbled his
chance and permitted the larceny.
And that's why they call him

serving fellow club member.
